I'm never going to be at that level and I can admit that freely. All I was trying to say was that I would like to see them ride again. Sit there with your arms crossed and a mad face and continue your cycle of negativity keyboard pussy!!
How about personal satisfaction or self-discipline? What about just being physically active and fit? Or whatever happened to just riding because we want to? Look at Chase; he always rode hard just for the sake of riding. Nothing more, nothing less.
I wouldn't blame Martii for not riding anymore. He has gotten so good and so natural at it that he can basically just pick up on anything he wants extremely fast. I think it's almost not even a challenge for him at this point.When it comes to Justin, let's just say I don't think he was riding for the correct reasons in the first place. It's pretty much common knowledge in the flatland world that you're not going to become rich or even famous in the grand scheme of things. He rode himself practically to death almost purely for contests and no other reason.As someone pointed out, Paul O. still rides and as far as we know, he might still be extremely good or even better than he was before.Personally, I know that there is hardly any money in BMX so I'm in school for engineering. There's no unwritten rule that one can't do both. This is why I don't buy this "Oh, he can't make money" excuse or "they never got anything out of it" nonsense.
