The last bit of footage from me at the Round Up is now up. The first video yesturday was from the Qualifing rounds. After I made the Top 4 we did a battle format where either you won the battle or you lost. I lost this battle. I was okay with it because I was voting for Jim to Win the whole Class. This was the first time I did this Battle format and it was alot of fun. I kept trying to push Jim and he was pushing me. We ride together every week so it was just like riding at the regular riding spot just infront of other people.

That was great MarK!
What bike are you riding these days? Last I knew you had an orange Sinus.

About 2 months ago my Sinus Frame Craked on the Down Tube. It had not been 2 years yet so I contacted the Henry Davis who in turn contacted We The People. I sent my old frame back and got a Brand New Sinus but the newer Models dont have brake mounts. I have been riding Adam DiClaudio's older bike since my Sinus cracked. It was Adams Bday yesturday. You can check him out in the new video section of BMX Freestyler. Titled Birthday Jam!! I have a quick part in there too. It was the first time I pull that particualr link on video. I was happy!!! Steamroller to Fwd Karl to Backwards Steam and Out. Cool stuff for sure!!!

So currently I am riding a St. Martin Down Town. It feels soooo GOOOD! Its soo tiny but everything is well balanced.

Keep on Riding!!

What I find scary is that hitch hikers are now a Beginner class trick. ohmy.gif

It took alot of Re-programing in my brain to reliezed that I am riding in a NEW generation of riders. What was very very hard for us BITD is still very hard..but there are even harder tricks!! When I first started going to comps I was like if your pulling hitchhikers...your not a beginner!!! I soon reliezed that beginners that can pull hitchhikers can potentially when the begginer class.
An advanced Hitchiker manuver would be to Turbine your hitcht in circles or to Kick Flip it or Body Varial or Cross Footed. Even thought I am riding better than I ever have the level of riding had INCREASED 10 times and Its fun trying to keep up with the fast pace. Once day I will learn how to actually just roll a hicthiker and get out...thats my goal!!

Keep on Riding!!
