    I made big progress today at Kenter. I was hitting the first big jump by the tent. Not that it's difficult because it's still a tabletop but I actually got the angle of the jump and cleared it no problem. The other three no longer seem so hard. I know that it's just a matter of really growing a pair and doing it. It's not that far off now!

    Some dude was there and told me to bend my knees more and once I did that it just flowed. The feeling in the air is awesome! I can understand the trajectory of the steep faced jumps now. This was my first time really hitting it and I did well!

    I'm really stoked! Baby steps...

    Here is the super cool video that Andrew shot with his phone!

    Desmond, I was keeping my legs straight and I would tap my rear tire on the lip every time. It was so simple, all he said was "bend your knees" and I tried it and it worked!

    I have no clue WTF I did, but it worked. I did it a bunch more times with the same results every time.

    I can't wait 'till it's 2nd nature to me and I can go for the next one! I swear, before it was impossible for me to consider doing those jumps. Now I can actually understand and comprehend HOW it's done.

    I have not been this stoked riding in a long time. What a f'n great feeling!

    Those jumps are very intimidating!

    yeah I woke up in a world of pain today. Attempted to make it to my BMX race but couldn't even hold on to the bars because my wrist/hand is so jacked up. x-rays are on my to-do list if the pain keeps up like this. it sucks.

    Nice No-footers Framekiller!

    ...and someone buy that dude a helmet!!!

    we seriously wanted to donate that dude a helmet.
    last thing we need out there is a heli med-evac for someone with a cracked skull

    he was throwing himself off those things with reckless abandon

    Guys, thanks for helping to throw dirt..
    Andrew.. you're killing that no-footer off the 1st dub, you gotta hit the next one
