(but then again i'm nervous now post crash 8-) growing up as a kid in the sticks (with the hicks), my brothers and i would roll around little dirt tracks/trails with our teeny dirt bikes and always loved watching the trick bike riders. on the 2nd time viewing it, it is even more “holy crap” / awe to me.
