Post by: Stodgy on August 06, 2007, 05:24 PM: I love Mat.

He just couldn't let it lie, could he?

One rumour that his highest air was likely to go and he's straight back on it...and only a few weeks following his 6th ACL replacement.

I've said it once, I'll say it a hundred times...fooking legend.

What's happened to Kevin Robinson this year - he was my favourite to take the highest air (along with Kagy)

That would have been Jake Brown - and he dodged the bullet :daumenhoch:

Post by: Maurice Meyer on August 07, 2007, 02:54 AM: That picture of Morgan is my new favorite BMX photo. Mat is the biggest reason ALL of this is happening with the X-Games and the big air. They started by piggy backing the X-Games BMX on Mat's contest series and how many years after Mat did the first mega-ramp did they integrate into the programme (note the regional spelling - heh).

So, how old is Morgan? I wonder if he got to see Mike D ride back in the day. He sure is carrying the Mike D torch!

Post by: Stodgy on August 07, 2007, 08:43 AM: Yep, Morgan 'screw loose' Wade. Rad little bugger, he's in his early 20's and one of the few young guys with balls big enough to bang 22ft airs!

Awesome!

Who cares about corporate sponsorship......look what it has done for the sport!

I'm quite envyous at the facilities and covergae it gets these days. When I think back to what we had to put up with at the likes of Alfreton and Lowestoft etc. 6 foot high, 2 foot wide ramps with 2 foot of transition and 4 foot of vert.......tut tut.....
