\r\n \r\n +1 Bill. Most people don\'t even take the time to think about how much harder tandem is. You\'ve got two people on the same bike and EITHER of them making a mistake means makeout time with the pavement. In anything I\'ve ever done, whether it\'s stunting, sports, work, etc.......... it\'s always the people who SUCK DICK at it the worst who talk the most shit. Just keep that in the back of your mind and say \'eff \'em. PEACE~!!!\r\n

\nAgree:
\nBeing one of the best riders in general gives you an advantage against everyone else. A lot of times (not using bill and destiny) the tandem girls just hold on and don\'t move around a whole lot on the bike. Bill has the advantage of seeing the line of impossible and possible on a motorcycle, in my opinion only 3 to 5 people in the world know that line. Also I wouldn\'t accuse Bill of sleeping on his talent. Him and Ms. D have put in alot of time on the bike and they still are the only one doing a lot of tricks. Bill D is the man.
\n
\nDisagree:
\nYou don\'t have to be the best individual rider to be the best tandem rider. Ken and Adam are not the best individual riders in the world (or even close to being the worst). Ken and Brandy have proved that they can beat Bill, Adam and Brittany are very close. I think with any practice there are several others out there that could force Bill and destiny to try harder. But I think because tandem is a back burner show that a lot of people bypass it and only use it for shows. Ken, Adam and their tandem partners are consistanly in the lot trying and learning new tricks. They are innovating a different side of the sport. If Bill doesn\'t add new tricks to his routine he will be beaten.
\n
\nLong story short, if Bill and Destiny don\'t practice they will be beat. Advantage or not Bill is not the kind of guy that will sit around and let that happen. So moral of the story is, put in the time, don\'t start drama, don\'t bitch, practice till you are the best. And if practice doesn\'t work, find a better partner!!!!!
