Rad Dad's Return to riding!

This is the first time I have filmed in 2014. Prior to this video I have rode maybe 3 times this year for a few minutes. Many people have messaged me wondering if I was still riding. Riding has been a time issue for awhile. I am trying to bring a balance to family life and riding time. I feel great about my riding session. Its been so very long since I have rode my bike and it felt great to make my return to riding. All my basic trick are still there. I need to have a few more sessions just like this and start working on my longer combinations. Keep on Riding!

Today's Riding - Voodoo 2012 Vet Class Training

Its time to get ready for Voodoo 2012! The Vet class is shaping up to be the largest vet class yet with at least 15 registered riders. After a 3rd place at Jomopro 2012 I have my work cut out to stay in the top 3. I will be working hard the next few weeks getting more constant with my tricks and pushing my progression as well. Also a special shout out to Jim Mckay of Flatstyles on his birthday. He created Today's riding Videos. They are a growing trend in the flatland community. RIP Donna Sommers. Today's Riding Video is dedicated to you!

Get Well Soon Pat Schoolen

Today on Flatmatters I saw a message from Pat Schoolen of Flatland Fuel http://www.flatmattersonline.com/pat-schoolen-recovering-from-operation-to-remove-tumor

Pat single handely motivated me to attend Jomopro and Voodoo this year with a message he sent to me on Facebook. I dedicated today's riding to Pat that he has a speedy recovery.

Rad Dad- 2 Links at the O.G.

Had a great session with Tod Miller, David Larocca, Randall Edwards and Chris Anderson. There is always something magical that happens at the Oltorf Garage. I start riding like I have been trying all week long. Things just fell into place today. This is just 2 of the several links that I landed during the session.

Jomopro training continues. I didn't have much time to ride today but I was able to squeeze out 2 links for today. I need to become more focused in the next few weeks so I can pull these kinds of tricks on command. We will see what we can do in the next couple of weeks.

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.

A Windy Texas Day

It was a very windy day in Texas on May 1, 2011. I was going to film for the global flat battles but when I got in I saw that I kept going out of frame. So I decided to make a new today's riding video. I will have to try again another day to film for the battles. On hopefully to stay in frame and on a day that is not so windy. Keep on Riding!

Today's Riding-"Lets Get Crazy"

Today's riding was all about having fun and getting a bit crazy. I threw in some straight messiahs so Jeroen Dekker could study my position in the trick. It was a over all very good day of riding. Nothing new but still very fun!

Today's Riding - Easter Egg Hunt Special

Today's Riding-Fun Day in Texas

Its been awhile since a new today's riding video from me. I was looking at some older ones and thought it was beyond time to go out and pull some new things. I hit my very first opposite whiplash on film today! yeah it was a good day!

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

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!

Today's Riding "Flatlander at Work"

Today after I did some compulsory stunts. I clocked into the Flatland work session clock. I put in some time with my creativity and tried a few things that I have not linked together before. It was a fun day. I was going to take the day off but I am glad that I didn't. 

Today's Riding- SKILLZ

Today it was all about trying to repeat what I did yesterday. My very first opposite hitchhiker Juggler. In between attempts I revisited a few links that I have only completed a hand full of times. The only way I will get those tricks consistent is to keep on doing them. I also pushed my self thanks to Effraim for his comment on Flatmatters: Lets see multiples rad dad! So I am going for it! Thanks E for the PUSH. One day I hope to be able to push you back!

Todays Riding Special Reqest

Today's Riding is dedicated to Rodney Williams as he made a special request today to do a specific trick. Most of the month of January I have not had the opportunity to make a today's riding video. I got out side today by his request pull the requested trick and hit a few more.

Happy Birthday Kenny Boucher!

Today's Riding is dedicated to Kenny Boucher. I met Kenny when he was 14 years old. He saw me doing tail whips in the Ville and asked me how I did that. Now I ask him how he does things. Happy 22nd Birthday Kenny. Hope this video will inspire you to keep pushing your self.

Rad Dad's Birthday is December 3. I had a very fast paced session for my 43rd year of being alive. I was trying to pull 43 different tricks but with just under a hour I ran out of light. I will have to do this again when I have more daylight riding hours. Here are the few tricks I was able to pull in about 45 minutes.

Today's Riding was a hard day on the body. I am still pumped over yesterdays session but I had a breakthrough with pumping. My for the first time that I can remember I was gaining speed when trying to pump. I couldn't get this video uploaded yesterday so I turned this into a Thanksgiving Day Special. Happy Holidays!
