Hey Mark is this guy Adam DiCladuio Pro? He sure rides like one that's for sure. I've seen a bunch of videos of this guy and he's amazing.

Yes Adam DiClaudio and David Weathersby are our resident pro riders. Adam is crazy dialed in. He can pull his links on command most of the time. Check out the riders spot light I did with him a few years back. Just click the Riders Spotlight Link. There are a few of them there. I have done a TON over the years I just have to do some major work to bmx freestyler.
Keep on Riding!

Things are getting better! I've been working on front yards and I can consistently ride in and out. The only problem is after about a half hour my leg gets tight and I have trouble getting my leg over my 9" rise bars! lol I realized my gauge on my old tire pump was busted and that I was only running 60 lbs. in my tires, no wonder I felt like I was working so hard! I got a new pump, and 100 lbs. makes all the difference. I made my first video yesterday to chronicle my progress. Enjoy!

Started doing the front yards in circles today. I also started finding my balance point rolling hang 5s. My longest is about 10 feet but I think I'm on my way!?

I remembers some combos today that I had been working on. I need to try and compleate them because I never have. Firehydrant to Freak Squeak and Turbine Hang 5 to FreakSqueak. I bet if I worked on it the rest of the month I could pick it up!!

jugglers to hang 10 is really kicking my butt lately. I need to try different things to speed up the learning process. I know I can do it...I think I'm going to put other tricks on the back burner and just stay on it till it's right.

The rain finally cleared up and I started having a good ride. Front yards are really under control and the hang 5s are improving. Then I busted my front axle. Looks like I'l be calling flatland fuel sooner rather than later.

RAIN...RAIN...RAIN!!! This weekend was almost a total bust. But I said screw the rain today went out and re-learned Decades. lol! I used to loved doing these back when I was younger and was pretty pumped learning them again after just a few tries.....crazy how all this stuff stays inside you after all these years.

I bet if I worked on it the rest of the month I could pick it up!! Fire hydrants to freak squeaks were always one of my favorites...the momentum you get from the fire hydrant just SENDS you into spastic mode. Unfortunately, I still cannot get my foot to go over the crossbar. Dang knee!!!!! I need to loosen it up so I can do some of my favorite tricks. Hang-five to freak squeak(or sneaker screamer), candybar whiplash and the above mentioned fire hydrant to freak squeaks. Rope-a-ronis are still plaguing me. I have the opposite problem Vertical Smile has...I can get into them...just can't seem to coast them that far! Err.

I'm also really jonesing to get whiplashes again!

I'm also really jonesing to get whiplashes again! Hope you really like your OG as much as I do mine. I always loved Decades too and was pumped to do them again after all these years, I even can pull them off from Infinity Rolls and Firehydrants now. When I first tried them again I took my bike in my backyard on the grass. I first just practiced pulling the bike up and stuffing my right foot on the top tube. Then I practiced just jumping over the bike and onto the grass. Once this became pretty easy I then just jumped over and landed my left foot on the frame and right foot onto the ground. After a few times and getting all comfy doing this I just went for it and landed my right foot on the pedal and just rode away. I could do Rollaids back in the day but I'm not trying that anytime soon. I remember crashing pretty hard when I was younger and tweaking my wrist & smashing the back of my head on the ground. Some tricks might be better left in the past were they belong.

had a blast today, I was encouraged a bit by the help I got and the vibe at the OG, I'm not to happy with how I set up my bike, so next time you see me I'll have new parts (bars/stem) and I'll probably be riding more instead of just sitting there bummed on my setup. edit: if anyone's interested, you can see my car at blog.cardomain.com/2009/11/05/vibe-audio-rx-8-screams-for-attention/if anybody ever needs any kind of custom and/or stereo work done feel free to hit me up, my best friend's own a shop that does everything, I have hookups for body-shops and painters etc too. (tired of your frame color? hehe) til next time, Randall
