I'm slippin' - over a week into the month and no new thread. ;D I've been riding like a fiend; every day I go to this tiny spot by my house and ride a couple hours. This last month I've ridden more than I ever have. I've gotten really used to my small riding area and am starting to ride fairly fast in it. I'm not looking up to avoid hitting the posts and picnic tables, so that's made the spot much more rideable. Today I'm home with the kids. my entire body is exhausted, especially my calves. Been working on back wheel spinning and turbining since the month began. I like it. It's probably the most dialed stuff I've worked on so far, and that's been very motivational. Tomorrow I'll start filming for this online competition on GF. Hopefully I can nail some stuff on the camera Tod, good luck on your surgery and speedy recovery dude! Hope everyone is doing alright. I made a couple flicks this last week/weekend of new tricks I'm working on. anyways, take care and keep riding! vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=55237499vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=55160258

What do you mean almost Backwards? Dude you got that!!! I have been out of town all week so riding and editing has been not usual. I rode a little bit in Port Lavaca but it was very windy each day. I decided to work on Karl to Steam because I could never pull that very easily. More not than can. I thought that could be what i am missing from my ride out of a hitchhiker. I have also committed to not cheating into my hitch anymore. I think it hurt me at jomopro. I have some new Energy when riding and I am falling all over the place. I am trying even harder again and that is a great feeling.
Keep on Riding!

Thanks Jim...my physical therapist says i'm doing very well...actually ahead of the game. I told her it's because i'm eager to get back on my bike. She asked me..."Isn't that how you hurt yourself in the first place?" Ha, ha...yes, yes it is. She doesn't understand.
Jim...good luck on GF! You have the skills my friend.

Tod, that's great to hear that you're making a speedy recovery. please stay off the tall bikes for a bit ;D
I got in two pretty good sessions yesterday and wrapped up early. For about 30 minutes I felt like I had jugglers under control. that was cool.

I'm getting so close to turbining hikers I can taste it! last night I turbined a bunch of them, but lost it immediately right after. I think I know the problem, so tomorrow I'm going after that one with passion! so stoked on riding right now :]

Its like you have been possesed with flatlanders spirits and you are about to become a Jedi Flatlander. Training just about Complete?!? not even close. I've got miles and miles to go! I appreciate the positive vibe! I still am sketchy and not dialed, but hearing stuff like that makes me want to go robotic and REALLY do it up like never before. I seriously could not be any more stoked on flatland. Mark, I can't wait to ride with you and Clint again! I definitely want to film more!

This has been a great month for riding. Today was Austin's "Last Saturday (of the month) Jam". It was way cool. I landed a trick I've tried for a long time-what a great feeling! Lot's of good stuff around the OG. tomorrow, more riding, and Unicycles! I'm stoked
