Its the last day of 2011

This year has been amazing. For rizzle. So awesome. I've done the coolest shows I've ever done. They could be the coolest ones I'll ever do. Met and made some new amazing friends and made more memories with my family. I'm blessed.

Going into this new year I'm still getting my head on straight and getting focused. I havent been jumping a lot in the last month. After the death of my good friend Jim and just lack of motivation and frustrations getting in the way of riding. Trying to balance desire with what I'm meant to do. As of now I'm back to having fun on my bike. Been riding tracks a lot and working on getting physically and mentally in shape and confident.

I am so excited to see what this new year brings. Whether I do shows or not I have a huge fire inside to progress with tricks for my own amusement and keep having fun riding all kinds of bikes and types of riding. In the last few days I've realized that I progress really fast if I stay focused. So staying focused is the resolution. God Bless and thank you to everyone who supports me. Especially my family. Love you guys

A Tribute to an old friend.

So I really am not great at updating my site at all. But recently fmx and myself lost an old friend. Jim Mcneil. One of the main dudes that I met at 9 years old and looked up to him ever since. He is deffinetly a major influence and reason why I fell in love with the sport of FMX. This accident has deffinetly scared myself and many others but I am more inspired to ride and appreciate it so much more. Thanks Jim for always being so cool to me and everyone. You were so giving and gave people tons of extra parts and gear and memories all the time. Rest In Peace man. Thanks for the inspiration.

Big Ticket Festival

Man oh man. Its been almost a month since I did this event and I really have to say... I miss Michigan. That is a rad state. The Big Ticket Festival is basically like a Christian mucic Warp tour. In the 3 days they had over 100 bands perform including some of my favorites. So it was rad to be around all the bands, and hearing them perform. The riders were myself, Jimmie Mcguire, Derek Cook, Mike Freeman and myself. The coolest thing that stuck out in my mind was when we were practicing, just hitting the ramp people were so loud and cheering and when we stopped its like they wanted an encoure. Dont get crowds like that often that get excited when you just jump. Jimmie and myself gave our testimonies and let me tell you what God was with the whole event. We werent even sure we were going to ride with the muddy weather conditions but God helped us out and parted the skies litterally right above our setup. Thanks God.

Micheal Freeman busting out. This kid is a talented rider and I cant wait to see where God takes him. Cant wait to see my buddy again!

Riders IV Christ Demo, Tempe Az

Finally I can sit down and write about the best demo I have ever done and may be the best one I ever do. The R4C demo at Tempe, Az for cityfest. Getting the call from the R4C really got me excited and honored to do a show with them. The show itself was intense. I have never seen so many people or actually heard the crowd like I did at that show. One of the best parts was getting more experience with mobile landings. That has always been a set back for me but I'm starting to like those transformers. The riders included: Jimmie Mcguire, Dan Norris, Kyle Loza, Robert Distler, Keith Sayers and myself. Cityfest was so rad also! There were some amazing bands and things to do. I met a ton of rad new people and was truly blessed to have experienced all that I did. If I never do a show like this again, well I am just thankful that I got one experience that I'd like to call a piece of heaven for me that I'll never forget it. Thank you God for all your blessings man. Love you and thank you R4C for taken care of us and giving me this opportunity!

It was the funnest demo I probably have ever done. So many rad riders there. Its good to have all your friends out riding with you! I think we really put on a show and we sure as heck had a ton of fun. I want to give out mad props to my boy ROBERT HASLAM for flipping the first time this weekend and then taking it to this demo like it was nothing. Towards the end Brian Mcknarly and I did an undies sesh. Behold Taylor X and Brian McNAKED. Click on the FACKEBOOK picture below for more pictures of the show of my buddies.
