I'm going to post this as personal motivation to make something much, much better LOL. the alternate pedal kicking is a trick I was requested to learn, and I was to film something also for my friend to learn. I only rode an hour before my freaking peg came completely loose and ended my session. so...the video is pretty weak. I'm gonna get it tonight tho!

So Yesterday I hit my very first Hitchhiker Juggler on my opposite side. Today I wanted to continue with that trick and add on to it. I was able to juggle a few times today and that was so surprising because I really don't know what I am doing yet. I just feels right or wrong. If I can get my body in the right place then I know I can do it. It happen really fast so I just switch hands. I got a few good attempts in today vimeo.com/19194185I hope everyone out there is riding and or staying motivated. Keep on Riding!

Going out to do some more riding again today. It feels good to be able to do this. I miss daily riding. My body is feeling the pain though. My back is killing me..but I would rather have my back hurting than to be sitting around not riding!
Keep on Riding!

I've tried out 3 frames this week, and tonight hit gold. Riding a longer frame feels incredible; and bunnyhops and manuals feel great now! I'm really stoked to see what direction this takes my riding.

WOW 3 Frames! That's awesome! BIKE CHECK!!
Here is my riding from today
I didn't land much today but I was trying many different combos. My back has been very sore so its hard to ride. I keep taking meds but it hurts like crazy when riding. I am a little worried about Saturday and how long I can ride. If it feels anything like it did today I will only be there for 2 hours tops.
Check out the cliffhanger combo..thats a first!

you guys are really doing some cool stuff.
Jim, what frame felt the best?
i rode out of a hang 5 yesterday. didn't roll it but about 5 feet, but i landed with my foot on the pedal instead of the ground. Woohoo!

I can't wait to see it Jim Sounds like things are clicking for you.
Good Job Havok! Hang 5 is a funny trick. There is no real defining moment because its a rolling trick. Weather you roll it 5ft or 50 you did it. I guess I said I could do a Hang 5 when I felt like I was in control and not falling out right away. Its not a easy trick but its fun when you finally figure out the balance point. Have you shot footage Havok?
Keep on Riding!

Have you shot footage Havok? Keep on Riding! my 29 year old filming dude decided he was going to start hanging out with highschool aged kids, so i don't hang with him anymore. i can't find a friend who will spend an hour holding a camera. i don't usually keep too many real friends, so my pickings are small. i'm gonna have to find a good spot just to set it down

Good job! do you think the extra length helped? thanks! no, if anything I think the length made it harder...I was simply determined to stay out there until I felt I had it.
