Last night I proved that i can get from Halfhiker to double footed steam at a highspeed. Now I just need to coast my hitch into half better. Then I will be a happy man.
Keep on Riding!

had a pretty good ride today! I think I figured out hang 10's, jugglers were feeling a lot easier tonight, holding the seat with the left hand in crackpackers felt ok. all in all, a good little ride. Alex, Mark-great to hear ya'll are progressing! ride on!

Today was definatly fun. I went in with high hopes and left with a smile on my face. I got my very first hichhiker in the O.G. today. I have never pulled on in our legendary area. My session got cut short due to my Axle breaking. That sucked but I will get another one and be back on the bike next weekend..
Jim- I have something for you. Silly me I never pulled it out of the car. I will see you some time during the week I bet.
Keep on Riding!

Oh...I so want to ride. I should be back on my bike soon. I need to re-focus my riding and my life. I'm calling it quits on street and ramp. It's been almost twenty years. I'm just afraid of getting injured again, and I don't know if I can bounce back like I used to...so it's only flatland for me from now on. I doubt I will play uni-cycle football or other goofy riding(like riding a tall bike on ramps)...which will give me more energy and focus on flatland.

Whaoaaa I had a Great....SUPER GREAT session. The dry spell is over. Whooaaa! It blew my mind at how well I rode today. It doesn't happen everyday but when it does I will take it! I even got my official hardest link todate. I can't believe that I am saying this. Becuase I remember when I didn't know how to do many of these tricks just a single let alone a combonation of them. Hang 5 switch to Steamroller switch to double footed steam switch to hitchhiker switch to halfhiker swtich to double footed steam switch to steam ride out!!! HELL YEAH!!
Keep on Riding!!
Oooo yeah there is video too!!!

Thanks Jim..I am still living on yesterday's high. Today when I went out to ride I couldn't do a thing...LOL My body is worn out and I think I really need a break for a day. The heat is killing me..Oooo its soooooo HOT! I did however work hard on Double footed steam to half hiker back to double footed steam. THats tricky but I can do it. I need to dial that in really good so I can land hitch more often.
Keep on Riding!

Gald your Back safe Jim and Josh! Atx scene was baren at the O.G. on Saturday. The guy with the Red Truck was there so many of us were trying to get in and out before he showed up.
Sunday however was a special treat. I got a call from a rider named DEX! He is from Collagestation and he was in town to ride. I got my bike and things together and we session for about 2 hours at the O.G. Hassle free. Its always so nice to meet so many people that want to come out hand hang with us. I have a few photos I will post up latter on. All in all it was a great time!
Keep on Riding!
