I think this trick is now ready to unveil and this trick is the ultimate tail whip type trick, known as an “air trick”, that I’ve ever created.
I always dream that my trick will be exclusive forever.
Nothing can top the satisfaction of creating an original trick. I get kicks from knowing that the trick has been never done. I feel I could engrave my name on the history when I do my own tricks, not following other’s tricks.
The tricks and style that I’ve created exactly reflect myself. I can identify myself in them.
Whenever I watch someone’s original tricks, I’m impressed to imagine how he or she has put their effort into it. I respect everything including the outstanding imagination to accomplish it.
When I was a beginner, All I could do was copying basic tricks. But Jesse Puente let me know the importance of being original. I respected riders who created tricks that I never imagined and pulled it with style.
Yanmer might have created a trend, with his “waving” tricks, which is recognized as fundamental skills for “new school” tricks. The concept is a commodity, now and applied in millions of different ways.
In middle of 90’s, there were so many “Chad DeGroot” wannabes in Japan. Everybody knew Chad and respected him as an ultimately talented innovator. I supposed Chad might feel something valuable to overcome the pressure as a vanguard, and I think that is definitely something which to commit your life.
Here are some pictures of the White Garuda forks. We expect to have them in stock on the 22nd of May. W/O mounts is what we will receive. If you would like a set of forks with mounts we have them in Black in stock now.
Hiro and I were talking about the new Garuda. We also talked about traveling to Voodoo Jam and to KOG 2. Its very expensive to travel right now and we worry that riders can't afford to travel to different contest. He told me of some changes with the 2009 Garuda. They are all secret at the moment. But he just ordered another sample frame so he can test the few changes he made from the first sample. I expect the Garuda to come at the end of the summer. Thats my guess!
