Today's Riding March 30, 2012

This makes the second video this week for Today's Riding. Its been a struggle to find a routine for riding but I am slowly making progress again and getting ready for JoMoPro Vet Class. These were some of the better links that I pulled during my hour session. The heat was getting to me but there will be another day. Thanks to Pat at Flatlandfuel for motivating me to go to JoMoPro.

The message board is still active

Ever since social sites started to pop up there were less and less of a need for a message board to be used. There were already more established boards up with I created BMX Freestyler and there have been some times I felt as if I should just delete it. I am grateful that I had not done so. It is still being used and people are still finding it as a source of communication. I just read this post today

I too am get back into riding. Watching all the RadDad videos has inspired me to get into it again. I picked a 2010 Opsis. I love it! I rode back in the 80’s and can say that it’s hard to compare today technology to the stuff we had back then. The Opsis is much better than the any of the bikes I had back then. I have owned a Haro Master, 87 Diamondback Strike Zone Mike Dominguez, 91 or 92 Dyno Compe. I like the Opsis, but it does have some week points. I am sure it’s like any other hobby; get the best you can afford. Like Mark said have fun.

Trick of the Month Filming Steamroller

Today at the O.G. Jim McKay of Flatstyle offered to film for me for Trick of the Month. He had the great idea to ride on top of the OG so we would have a different view than we are used to filming in and we could get some of the sky line in the video.

 Jim broke out his camera equipment and we went to work filming Steamrollers and different tricks into steamrollers. There was one link that I started that just never would fall into place. I was ready to give up but Jim said no you have to land it. You have gotten to close. So after several more attempts I was finally able to pull the trick.

 I was so exhausted that I just needed to take a break from riding and just lay on the ground. It was a fun filming session. I got a few trick in for the day. The footage is at the flatstyle studios 2012. Stay tuned.

Big Props to Jim for taking the time to film and Donna for taking some photos.

Aaron Frost Combo

Filmed by John Yull this is Aaron doing what he does every night at the OG!
