from standard bykes "standard country"

that section is still one of my favourites today, paul,luc e and bobby fisher were all progenators of the current new school street freecoaster trends,

osicka's riding in that clip is just amazing, check the way he throws out of some of the tennis court links, how fooking cool is that, great balance and fluidity even if a few of the links were a bit scetch,

the blind fold riding was a bit of a standard oddball, the gonz was rocking it too,crazy,

the frame he's riding is a TAO if i'm not mistaken, my mate haggis rides one, its short and feels like it want to loop out all the time but how tough?!!

dunno if he's still riding though, with the things i'm hearing about standard it might be tough to find out,
i'll try and ask rick though,

heres a rougher collection,

he's still riding.  he had the cover of cream last year, riding up in the forests in the northwest US, along with a big interview which was very zen-like, unsurprisingly!
bloody nice chap i tell you!

he was awesome

that rolling tailwhip he did without taking his feet off the pedals defied the laws of physics
