Damn Luke just 2 years and you progressed like that!?! Not that you were bad 2 years ago but wow that's some serious progression!! Mad props!
I really enjoy your videos it's like Poetry in Motion.  ;D

thank you VerticalSmile,  I started riding in Jan 2006 after 18 years away so almost 4 years now.

Dude...what?  Wow.  You really have been putting in the work.  Most of the stuff you do wasn't even around in 88.

I am just now getting to where I can do half of the stuff I did in 88.  Been riding flat again for about 8 months now.  I'm gonna watch your videos from now on before I go ride.  That's inspiration!

Froghammer...thanks for sharing that.  Lookin' good.  You don't suck, you have that determination.  Keep at it!

I really need to get a camcorder...and start making these kinds of videos.

Thanks, Tod. I've been working hard lately, that's for sure. Up until three nights ago, I'd only been out 7 times since I re-started again after a 15 year break.

Last night was my third in the parking garage and I could really notice my balance getting better. I sessioned hang fives for over an hour and made huge progress.

Thanks. That session, those two in the vid were the only two I tried that session. Besides the obligatory dork wheelie, the boomerang was the first trick i learned. With brakes. ALL the way around. If it ain't rough, it ain't me.

Alrightie, so here's my first vid. It's all pretty basic, complete with lots of bailed out tricks and general suckage. Haha. I was determined to pull that firehydrant to tailwhip thing at the end and wouldn't leave last night until I got it on video. Not much of a trick, but I consider it a personal victory.

Also, I hope you all admire the sketchiest, bowlegged walk-in doublefooted steamroller ever attempted.  ;D

I hope so. What I noticed that I was doing wrong was when I came around on my fire hydrant, I was leaned way over to the left with my leg far out. Great if you want to carve it with a lot of speed, but not so great if you don't want the frame coming around to you at warp 9. Haha. When I slowed down and tightened up my fire hydrant, the whip part was much more manageable. Plus, I was more centered over the bike and balanced.
