Last night I rode for my Global-Flat Battles. I guess I have been riding pretty hard because I was able to complete my tricks 2times. Most of them. First time was far away when Caleb could not film me at the time. Second time was up close. I pulled 5 up close and 6 far away. The upclose ones went very fast in about 8 minutes to pull all 5. The 6th one was just to hard for me still. It needs a ton of work but I am working on it. I am pretty excited to be competing again. It really pushes me hard and makes me think harder than normal. I did a uniquie switch on film. Cross handed Hang 5- Meshia-Hang 5-Cross hang 5-Hang 5-Out. Things are getting very smooth and consitant. Its so much fun. I have been working so hard on the main pages I have not been to the message board in awhile. I hope everyone is doign good and enjoying the updates.
Keep on Riding!

Just finished my video for the Online battles, I didn't do all the links I wanted to do though. I hope it's good enough to get to the second round!
RIDE...RIDE...RIDE!

I went out last night to shoot my video for the battles and ended up not pulling the links I wanted. Kinda stressing out now, maybe I need to do easier stuff. I'll try again tonight.

Hey Jim it looks like there may be more time, Ondo put things on hold for 2 weeks. I may even submit another video, I rushed my last video and also didn't film the links I wanted to do.

Mark, that video was amazing! You've mastered the trick AND the how to video! I like the on-screen pointers; that was a really nice touch. I got inspired tonight to go for one last ride before the contest as my last couple have been not-so-good. I'm proud to say that in an hour and a half of jugglers I didn't mess up a single one! First time I've done that!

Awesome! i hope you all do well. my truck's electrical system issue ended up @ 1,014$ so i'll be riding @ home. to make matters worse, i've heard the 'cashville' jam was cancelled.

Holy crap! I am finally getting hang fives! I've been trying them off and on since friggin' '89 and tonight I did 5!!! I've been able to pop up into them for a while, but I finally really locked in my balance point and balance using my back leg. They're not really long yet, but I'm getting there. I also started getting my funky chickens more consistent. Can't wait to ride tomorrow! Thanks to everyone on here for the inspiration.

I've been riding so hard this whole week and my riding is finally starting to improve. There are SO many tricks I want to learn, hell I even put on a set of Hitchhiker rings for those just in case moments. lol! Since starting back up in October I can't even tell you guys how much my health has improved (minus a few staples lol!). I have more energy, my lower back doesn't hurt anymore, I've lost weight, hell I even sleep better. lol! Thanks everybody you guys are such a great inspiration!! RIDE ON!!

Sounds like there's some good riding going down, great to hear it! Sorry I've been absent lately on here; healing up a leg injury right now. I went out for a few today just to see if I could ride, but it needs a bit more time. In the meantime tho I'm going to start filming a lot more. I was given a video editor by a friend who wants me to make more vids, so I take that as sign. See ya soon!

been riding a lot lately too, last weekend I pulled a trick I've been trying to learn for months twice, this week I've ridden every day and landed it every day I've ridden at least 3 times, some times even back to back. Things are starting to click for me and it feels pretty awesome, I've still got forever to go but at least I'm not trying the same thing over and over without results, I take a lot of encouragement from that.
