Winter Splinter2007

Jungle Boogie


I remember this kid from last year's Twilight Jam and although I would normally be inclined to make fun of his punker than you mode of dress I will no. you know why? Of course you don't because I haven't told you. I won't because he's running a 43 tooth sprocket and you simply can't be a bad person if you run a 43 tooth sprocket or a front brake.


This is actually a terrible picture by every objective and subjective measure. It is included here simply to illustrate how high "beginners" were going on the 11 foot quarter. Of course its possible that this kid actually was a beginner who was simply hyped by the power of Holy Diver (which, of course, was playing when he rode) it'd more likely that he really should've ridden intermediate.


Todd here is a professional mountain bike racer. He's been riding BMX seriously for all of 6 months. He has crazy mad hops thanks to all of that mountain bike jumping. While some would say its unfair that he competed in a class with people 1/6 his age, the truth of the matter is, his bursitis and rheumitism gives them the edge. Fakie transfer.


There is some inherit humor in the fac that a 6 year old did this line first. Sean "Bluetec" Reid in full pumpkin effect.


Both Todd and Sean told me, that riding their runs and the beginner jam was a LOT of riding. Here The TDI tries a feeble while running out of gas.


In case you were wondering, kid was trying to double ped the top of the 11 foot out of the loveseat. It didn't quite work out for him.


Positively Bestwickian


According to Nowak 2007 will go down in the history books as the year Sean's tires finally left the ground. For the record, I don't know who the Morgan Wade looking dude in the background is, but I do know that his girl was cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute.


Learn these faces. Next year they will be beating all of you in contests.

Scott Gould from Eastern and the elbow of Guy Devon Smilie give a new bike to the beginner class winner.


Yeah, hey, see me, I'm the guy with the big camera. Pay attention...ahhh, screw it. They probably couldn't hear me over Holy Diver.
