Biggest respect of all goes to Dennis McCoy. What a total legend. He's doen it all. hHe was riding with Bob Haro, One time best in Flatland, best in ramps, best overall, and 20 years later still finishing in the top 10. Absolutely unbelievable. No-one comes close IMO :daumenhoch:

Thats where it all starts Gray, and to be beaten by such an old horse such as Tabron has gotta leave a bad taste.

Post by: MeddlE on July 04, 2006, 03:38 PM: Nah, it justs gives him the nudge to try harder surely? And surely the bad taste is for everyone who came 3rd and lower being beaten by a couple of old gits?

opposite 9s, double flairs and, i believe, no handed 9s.

keep the faith

Post by: radders on July 05, 2006, 12:50 PM: I hope not, he's way better than Tabron, in many ways. What the hell happened to Mirra, I thought he was riding up a storm recently ???

Post by: DJ on July 06, 2006, 02:58 PM: Quick post Mr Job, straight in there! Bestwick will reign for a while yet, it will be Kagy who blows up next I reckon.. superman seat grab bar spins!
Mirra crashed hard in quals I believe? Plus he spends more time on the street course than Vert Ramp, tut tut!
Bring on NASS eh Jobs???

Post by: TwoBobRob on July 06, 2006, 07:43 PM: I'm not a fan of either Bestwick or Tabrons riding style as it happens...... I've had the pleasure of riding with them both and they're nice blokes (apart from Tabron not wanting to help launch my indoor vert back in 94...grrr...) and you certainly can't deny their talent or ability; I just don't get that scary/excited feeling when I watch them.

Anyone whos seen Hoffman ride live will know what I mean. Or Gerry. Or Mirra come to that.

For what its worth, I reckon Jaime will stay on top overall until Kagy lets go one day fairly soon. He seems like a lad that really REALLY wants it :)

The only guy that i think who is on his way to be the top guy is jon parker watch him go... he moved to woodward a while back and he is the most natural rider in woodward. with all that foam if he bothers to use it all the others will be f.cked
