With my 40th birthday coming up I decided to put together a video showcasing the past 3 years back on my bike. It’s been a wild ride juggling family, riding, friendships, work, etc. I’ve made new lifelong friends and reconnected with so many other riders. Through building a home spot I’ve been able to share with my kids many of the lessons I’ve learned and relearned through flatland and able to spend more time with them.
Seattle stand-up! John Nelson comes through with some superior biking in his F-IT ALL section.

Cheesy Hundertmark from Germany gets the cover of FAT-'zine issue 30. Also on the cover in small video grab pics is Ian Morris doing a humonguous rail in our hometown back in 1994. It was a good year. Ice Money popped up in Cologne and later in Munich, Germany and England. Even in the Lageja ad!
