Kevin gets my vote for slightly edging out Rick in difficulty and variety.

Kevin, you also need to start moving in your own direction with your riding. I see way too much Ronny in your tricks and you're capable of much more than just copying his tricks.
+1

I understand that, and I am currently working on making my own tricks!
I often just tried tricks that looked good for me, and when they worked, I did them. And with seeing Ronny ride so much I think its normal, that I tried the tricks that he was doing :D
In these battles I am just relying on what I already can do, instead of trying new stuff, but that will come definetely

Good battle, and much props to Rick Macdonald! Double decades are sick! wish you luck in your next round, and to answer your question: I thought I over-read, that you start with your previous video... At least that seems reasonable, as your opponent has the same base in this case

Well guys, I suffered an injury last week. I fell directly onto my bar end with my abdomen. I thought it resulted in a hernia..but it's just a hemotoma on my lower stomach area. Still a big swollen bruise/bulge thing there...


I was seeing stars for a while, not fun!




I hope I can get a new video by Tuesday night..we'll see.
I will post up the best stuff I can, depending on how it feels!


Thanks...did anybody hear from flatforever yet?

Thanks Denny, if my health and the weather cooperate, I will have a video...I hate these "uncontested" wins....that stinks.

I'm still sore guys, I shouldn't be on my bike for a while...plus it has rained here for the last 3 days.
 
I'm sorry I couldn't bust out 1 more video..if Ondo doesn't hear from flatforever and wants to declare "no 3rd place winner" that makes sense to me!
 
 
Thanks for the props and I'll be back on it sometime soon!

let me know if you are interested, it's a limited special offer
If I ever see a flat rider do a hop-to-wallride, my head would explode.

First one filming a hang 5 and kissing the ground too, takes the 3rd place. post it up here in 24 hours, or there is no 3rd place.

keep it fun!

Haha... Well, yesterday my frame broke in two pieces, so the battles are done for me.
I have enough stuff to fill the time up, but it is not at all what I wanted to get in there... Denny won't have a hard enemy!
I am still proud of my video because I did all the jumps withouth scuffing, rode every combo as fast as possible, repeated tricks in their purpose (as filler, opener, ender etc) not once and think I have a overall  well rounded Video, even withouth the new stuff.

Today evening I will have it uploaded, there is also the footage how the frame broke, haha :D
And at last I would like to say that the battles really got to me in a mental way. I tried much harder then ever before to ride as hard as I can during the contest. I did not stop for a single day to rest. When it rained I rode in the underground parking lot, when I felt sick I rode with aggressive music.
And since last Thursday I even lost feeling in my lower arms down to the hands, during to to much riding. It comes back after a hour of break from riding, but the pain in my ellbows is really really baad.
But that did not stop me either, so I rode on to get everything together and I only stopped when my frame cracked in two halfs... Man vs machine... I guess the machine won!

So on the one side it was a great thing to motivate me, but on the other side it really got me riled up and often made me mad/worried/disappointed by myself.

Congrats to your 3. place too Rick! I would say we have to photoshop a picture of a podium with pictures from the 3 finalists :) that would be cool!

Looking forward for Denny's Video!
