Ultimate X - HOT HOT HOT!

Yeah it was hot. Like 35+ hot on a perfect day with almost no wind and good crowds. The BMX demo was a chilled event and the jumps were well thought out with a two staggered launches into the first double and then a steep second face that saw some great tricks.

The standouts today were the usual crowd pleasers. The Riot's Malcolm Peters had the 360's, Whips and even a few double whips down, all with his usual style and effortlessness. He also rides for OSP who put this event together. Big shout out to Markus for another great event.
As always Wayne Reiche, also repping The Riot and Iron Fist, was pulling great Turndowns, Unturndowns, 360 tables and when Rupert called for the Frontflip, Wayne delivered. Clean, first go.
This guy still owes me a wad of R100 notes - Rupert Touchchicks

Jason Hood is a loose cannon (I think I've called him this before?) and he had some great off-axis flips, whips and this stretched no-hander. Take note kids, this is how they are supposed to look.


Here's Malcolm with a dipped 360 and 360 table. Always nice. I heard he's now on Vans Shoes. Nice one, Keith!

Colin Loudon (The Riot, GT, Fox) had these Flip Turndowns dialed and some other trickery too.

If you don't know this guy, you don't know nothing! Fly Bikes' Buddy Chellan.
Riding for RedBull must have it's advantages. Buddy spreads the wings and likes to just float about the crowds. Nice turndown here and a Nac-Nac in the shot below.
Other standouts were Chris Bester, Dwayne, Kim and Jason from Table View. As I'm posting this there are still guys at the Ultimate X comp, riding, drinking and watching Jack Parow. Look out for more photo's to pop up around the net because Eric Palmer and Craig Koleski where also shooting.
Thanks again to Markus at Old School Productions. If you are looking for someone to do an event, demo or comp in your area or school, GIVE THEM A CALL They know what they are doing!
