Hi,
A neighbor, now gone, had an old 20" schwinn. His dad had learned to ride when he was young, but after that he only got it out once in a while.
I stopped by their house on Halloween night, because during the day he said his dad was going to let us ride it.
I walked up the driveway with the uni in sight, and thought to my self that it will be easy to ride it. I was, of course, wrong. But, I knew that learning how to ride it couldn’t be impossible, so I continued.
The next morning I tuned into Ripleys Believe it or Not, and saw a segment on Kris Holm. I came back with more determination, and unbelievable inspiration. I knew that I wanted to do at least 90% of the stuff he did on that show, even though Ripley’s advises not to.
Now, I’m pretty much the only uni rider out here in my parts, at least the only one that rides mountian/trials. So, I still come on the internet, and download clips of you guys.
So thanks, Nathan, Kris, George, Chris Reeder, Scott, Roger, John Foss, Gilby, Adam Ryznar, Dan Heaton, David Poznanter, John Drummond, and anyone else that I forgot who has inspired and continued to inspire my riding and my self, through the T.V. and the internet; Hope to meet you guys one of these days.
Evan
