For those of you who did not make it tonight..You missed some sick ass stuff. Everybody from begginer to pro was throwing it. Flares,back flips that touch the roof. A front flip that was so close to being perfect. Clean or not the crowd was in it big time. You could not have asked for a better performance from all the riders and the GHY crew pulled out all the stops again to put this event together and the turn out by the fans was in awesome for both nights. Great job guys, can't wait for the gathering 07

this is a sick pic of joe... any idea on how he did?
Joe was throwing down with the best of them, but didnt qualify for the final. He has some mechanical difficulties with his seat after backfliping the spine, kinda messed with his flow.

I got a little footage of Joe. I really liked his style, but apparantly the judges didn't . One line in particular stuck out to me: manny up the quarter to fakie nose manny out. SICK. He was back flipping the spine with ease, while it took porter something like 10 tries to finally get it. Not taking away from porter, just saying that Joe is one of the most underrated riders out there.

Yes both nights were sick, one of the most impresive was Mccaul's barrel rolling the step down the first night. I dont think he placed, I think he crashed trying to do it for the final, to bad that run he was doing was just as good b-claw's. Phil's 360 tailwip was sick, he landed it once right?. Too bad Travis never stuck the front flip, that was painfull to watch, way more balls than I will ever have. Hard to reamber everything, to many energy drinks with vodka :). Didnt some one do a 540 over the spine or box or somthing??? Oh ya the local guy with the white helmit, rode a bmx last year, he was killing it too!

Someone posted video of Phil's backflip crankstall and Robbie's crazy wall ride transfer thing. It looked like Phil almost hit the celling with that back flip but I didnt think he actully staled on it. Amazing, I cant even clear that box to the tranny. Computer skills are not the best or I would make a link but its on nsmb forum under phots and vids

You sure it wasn't a .243?

One of my friends was up there on a black .243, black helmet, and he messed his anke up pretty good.

He was 3ing off the scaffolding box during the DJ comp in Expert...
