That's pretty awesome.

I always wondered how you learn to do some of these tricks, like coming off a ramp and kicking the bike out from underneath you so it rotates 360degrees.

In order to learn this stuff, you must have some pretty horrific wrecks first, no?

I used to be way into it bout 5 years ago, although I was mostly into dirt riding where it didnt hurt as much when I crashed and burned. I dont think I was on the same skill level as you though; nice pics.

Took me about 2 hours of crashing really hard and breaking my bike a lot. I think i can dig up a video of my trying flips for the first time. Let me get back to you on that! haha.
