great comment dan.. as usual? hmm

I hate to do this, because I dont wanna seem like im bagging on Alex, but he definately was NOT riding like himself and from what I understand, had some issues with his throttle or something..

lets see..

8 second mark alex starts off with a wobbly 3 second switchback christ

28 seconds is the first attempt of 3 to do a SB wheelie

37 seconds is attempt #2

39 seconds, he gets the SB wheelie for about 50 feet

{PAUSE TO ROLL BIKE BACKWARDS WITH FEET}

52 seconds he does a 60-80 foot 180 stoppie, small but nice

then the next 50 seconds ( 00:56 to 1:42 ) consist of a nice, BUT TOO LONG, circle set which ends in a failed jump to 50/50 (keep in mind, that is 50 seconds of a 2 minute run)

then he ends the run with a HC burnout

basically 5 tricks in 2 minutes




With two minutes you gotta come outta the box swinging!! Alex basically spent half of his run riding around doing nothing.. Come on.. getting stuck under the Redbull arch and having to push your bike backwards???

the flow was trash.. the only difficulty would be in circles.. overall he looked lost

now compare his run to JMO's
