Journeys Backyard BBQ Tour

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

I spent last weekend in Salt Lake City UT for the first of five stops for the Journeys Backyard BBQ Tour. Of course it was super windy most of the day until around 5 and Potter, Ebonal and I were able to ride and put on a show.

Besides our demos they also had some good bands playing and a sick half pipe with the Etnies BMX and skate team putting on shows. Deegan also came out to sign autographs. Now I’m off to Detroit MI for round 2 of the BBQ Tour…Check back next week for more photos..

Tampa, Florida

Sunday, April 22nd, 2007

Last weekend I flew out to Tampa, Florida for another Boost Mobile Night Shift Demo. There was about 20,000 people that showed up to see the cars, rap concert, bikini contest and our freestyle show.

GarlandFMX ImageMyself, Jeremy Lusk and John Distler

There was a 20 MPH crosswind all day and we thought it might let up by the night time, but no, the storm was rolling in and there was nothing we could do about it. We got on our bikes anyways and put on a show. Its hard doing a lot of the standard tricks in the wind but we were able to pull off some whips and back flips for all the fans that came out…Check Freestylemx.com for more…
