WHOA! What spot is that at 2:44? I remember that spot... I don't know if it's from a magazine article on it? Or video footage? Is that spot in another video? Does anyone else recognize that?

Oh... I know sheep hills. I remember when the ABA grands were on TV one time (I think) ESPN did a little sheep hills feature a bunch of pro riders were there, and they had Brian Foster saying that the dirt was prime for building jumps there, because it's so close to the ocean. Uhm... right.

Also, MTV sports had a bmx thing one time, that featured the Foster brothers and Todd Lyonns riding a bunch of sheep hills. That was right when I started riding as a kid. That was the first dirt jumping I'd seen, so I'd build jumps with that in mind. I never saw another video until much later when I got props 18 and 19.

Actually, those are Bo's trails, I believe. I remember watching really old footie of the guys riding them. They are built into a hill side, and were pretty rad BITD.
