Paul Smith Rider Rider Update
It’s been a busy week in Florida ….
I was pumped to ride at the 97x Backyard BBQ last weekend, just outside Tampa at Vinoy Park. The weather was perfect, OK well i little hot for me, but sunny and even though we were right next to the ocean, the wind was calm. Great bands played all day and we did 3 “kik butt” FMX demos… some how, during the second show, I got a thumb tack in my front tire and had to pull off every 5 jumps and pump some air into it … ha ha. This was the second year I rode for the BBQ and the croud was even bigger and louder than last year!
Spent the week practicing at Sunshine MX track in St.Pete … great facility and thx to Steve we have a sweet landing to jump to. I have started working on another new trick, an oxecutioner from the bars. Usually you do them from the seat grab position but i have been doing them right off the ramp, letting go with the throttle hand and reaching for my boot.
I will be back in St Pete this weekend, jumping at the Moto Jam!
