Post by: WizardWeb on October 08, 2006, 12:49 PM: Ok he doesn't do the trendy tricks, but he's approaching 40 and he's as rad as he ever was !

Post by: CD17 on October 08, 2006, 07:23 PM: I only found out about Dennis about two years ago when I got back into the sport. He is unreal that he has been riding all these years & is so good, he is a legend :4_17_5:

Post by: WizardWeb on October 08, 2006, 08:45 PM: Yep DMC is definitely in the top 5 greats. If it weren't for his knackered wrists, then he'd still be doing flatland too.

I'd say it was him and Hoffman that kept it all going until Mirra and co got to the top in the mid 90's. Between them, they invented a hell of a lot of tricks. :)

I remeber meeting him at a KOC when he was on his Black Mongoose, and he was v cool and friendly. One of my all time heroes - long live DMC!

Post by: tricknuts on October 11, 2006, 08:33 AM: Ithink we all have a special admiration for DMC cos he's either close to our age or even older, nd we know he's been through it all. He's ridden with Bob Haro, Wi lkerson, Hoffman, Mirra and everyone in between. A true star. Top of the class. He deserves 5 radbmx golden thumbs up. :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: They don't come much better than this.
true dedication... :4_17_5:
