i swap fiola and haro for kevin jones and tobias vicke though
i'd swap fiola for a spare inner tube for one of the other riders thinking about it

I watched Tobias Wicke last year practising at KOC and it was some of the most tech stuff i've ever seen! the guy is a monster Mini ramp rider, big sod as well!!! but having said that i dont think he's up in the greats yet although very Rad :daumenhoch:
duncan:
I had to go for 6 names I recognised :)
I've seen some of the other names on X-Games, but I'm sticking to the oldschool names with one exception.
I don't know enough to say whether McCoy is better than Mirra is better than Miron etc...
No Buff or Itson. Well, that's my fault for only finding the poll now...
The first 'freestyle' I remember seeing was Andy Ruffell bunnyhopping over a mongoose in a book I had.
That plus another guy also called Duncan in my town who used to bunnyhop onto old car bonnets in a scrapyard, impressive back then, probably would be even today.
He stopped riding before I even got my first BMX.
I chose:
Fiola, Dominguez, Ruffell, Voelker, Vanderspek, Haro
Haro, who popularised freestyle.
Voelker, I remember watching the X-Games around 1999/2000 and seeing his dirtjumping. Amazing stuff.
Vanderspek for the groundbreaking flatland.
Ruffell for all-round freestyle skills, ramp especially.
Fiola, for his skatepark and ramp riding
Dominguez, also for skateparkand ramp riding
Stodgy:
Well, the votes have been counted and verified...and RADBMX's Ultimate Freestyle Team is:
Mat Hoffman - 24 Votes
Eddie Fiola - 24 Votes
Dave Mirra - 23 Votes
Jamie Bestwick - 17 Votes
Neil Ruffle - 17 Votes
Bob Haro - 14 Votes
Total Voters: 52 people who voted for 6 riders each.
So, I'll make a few calls and get them to perform at the next meet then, eh? (Neil will STILL be rad, even from his new world!)
Thanks for taking part dudes!

Come on, get with the plan.
