Riding the Biggest Running Dirt Jumps in the World at the Franklin Farm in New Zealand.

Not only did a jump them but I also did one of my best tricks on them!
Meeting Steve-O for the first time ever at the Nitro Circus show in Anaheim, California! I have always wanted to meet him and I can't believe that talk we got to have together.
