Hey out there in Woozybmx land this is Kevin Porter and I would like to take some of your time now, to tell you about a friend of mine that
leaves in the greater chicagoland area... This is a friend that is so outside the world of bmx he has no clue
what goes on in it.. Ya, he sees videos and has a good bike set up but in no way shape or form can he remember a
riders name or what style he has.. I think the only pros name that he can remember is joe rich.. Who can blame him.. Anyway he is so good at bike riding but you would never know by meeting him.. Sometimes he even looks like he is
about to fall off his bike when he is riding it down the street... He will find a big gap{for example} and you'll think to your self when seeing it that he is going to kill himself, but thats the thing that makes him who he is
because it will look like he does the gap in his sleep.. His riding style is very similier to a surfer. always going real fast and rippin bowl corners like he is craving a barrel on a surf board... Its true inspiration to me to see
what it is like to ride a bike and never have the bmx world as a teacher..Well enough said i give you home bmx schooled closet shredder himself!!!!
