Spring Forward
Photo By Shelly Long
On March 12, 2011 at the Oltorf Garage we had a special visit from Harlen Baker. I brought a few friends with him. Shelly Long, Chante White and Aaron Ross (Card Board CUT OUT). It was a very fun session and the last session before we Spring Forward 1 hour with our clocks. Giving us more daylight hours to ride our bikes.
Harlen was the lucky winner of the NEW Years Day Giveaway. He has been working on his flatland skills and will be making regular visits to the O.G. to progress and learn more tricks.
During the Spring Forward Session Dax and Rad Dad were feeding off each other and taking turns in front of the camera set up on the Quad Pod.
After awhile Chadwick picked up the Camera and the magic started to happen. Links were be thrown down and onlookers watched in amazement.

Today's Riding - Inspirational Rhyme
Pay attention to the first letter of each sentence.
Lyrics
Today is a good day to go outside and ride your bike
On the occasion that watched a video and get all hyped
Delirious with ambition you feed off the energy that your receive
Analyzing what you just saw so you can achieve
Your vision that you have created inside of your mind
Solid with style and creative with your own line
Riding with inspiration gives you the edge you need
In turn gives the power to make other believe
Dialing a combination can be achieved
If you practice hard enough yeah you might have to bleed
Never giving up is key to success
Give it 100 percent your absolute best

Happy Birthday Effraim Catlow
Today is Effraim Catlow's Birthday today. March 8th 2011. He has started a nice list of progression videos. He is currently on number 7. I am pretty sure #8 is on the way. So I put this together for Effraim spelling out is name and last initial to help motivate and celebrate his birthday. Happy Birthday E!
Eight on Eight so great is not up for debate
Forging ahead so you hit it on a specific date
Flatland tricks are the way we celebrate
Riding so focused so you can concentrate
All your energy on what needs happen
Ignite the fire with uncontrolled passion
Making magic on the ground gives you satisfaction
Celebrating your Birthday is just an added attraction.
Happy Birthday Effraim!!
Today's Riding - Step By Step
Its been awhile since I have put together a today's riding video. I only had about 45 minutes today but I was able to pull this combination. If I am correct I have never pulled this one. I will have to look back at the my older videos. But the last I remember I have not rode out of the Messiah from stepping in back into hang 5. The bag of tricks is really starting to build and its getting harder to keep up. That is AWESOME!

Tribute to Martti Kouppa
This Tribute is to Martti Kouppa. Notice the first letter of each sentence. Its Spells out
Martti Kuoppa /Jungle Rider/Ground Tactics
Master of flat and all you survey
Articulate in the way that you display
Riding ability that takes new shapes and forms
Titian's of the game clearly have been warned
Taking tricks to new levels is undeniable
In close combat you’re still unrivaled
King of the ground holding fast and steady
Unbelievable with no warm up your ready
Ominous is your style that defies the possible
Progression makes you totally unstoppable
Pounding out new moves like a gorilla pounding his chest
Analyzing maneuvers like physicist taking a test
Jumping in the to the jungle like a savage beast
Unleashed the creativity that shall steadily increase
Never giving in until the link is ceased
Going after it like a lion ready to feast
Looking at what you accomplished with great pride
Endless links bury the competition alive
Reduce your competitors to the size of an ant
Implant messages in their minds so they say I can’t
Destroy your competition rip them all to shreds
Entangle them with links that leave them confuse in head
Royalty of flat and widely known
Gracing the ground because it is your throne
Realizing that your legend in your own time
Ordinary links to you blows every ones mind
Unique with the links that you combine
Never before seen and way ahead of your time
Delivering maneuvers that are pure perfection
Technically so smooth with each selection
Achieving the unthinkable during your session
Creatively out the box is your progression
Tactically you maneuver for a better position
Insistently you change your mind with a new decision
Combat is in flat is do or die situation
Successfully you reign for several generations
