Congrats Terry Adams, qualifying first in Sunny Montpellier here at Fiseworld. Matthias Dandois also rode incredible, with Yu Shoji and Toon close behind! Semi finals on Saturday. Top 16 make semi finals!
The majority of times I post here on FM, the videos are about tricks. This mini doc hits different, where the focus is on friendship, spirit, two friends Terry Adams & Mickey Gaidos pushing each other and how that’s affected their lives. Great job on this one, Andrew Simmons!
Congratulations to all the winners on Day 2 of the Red Bull Bike n’Mic in Luxembourg yesterday. This is a new type of event where the crowd judged the event with an app, with the riders battling round to round along with hip hop artists thrown in the mix. Viki Gomez & Chris Bohm came out as joint winners followed by a joint second tie Lee Musselwhite & Raphael Chiquet, good vibes in Luxembourg.
Congratulations to Kio Hayakawa who just won Day 1 of the Red Bull Bike n’Mic contest in Luxembourg followed by Terry Adams and Chris Bohm on the podium. Good vibes from Luxembourg.

I must admit I had not heard of Reynaldo Santillan before today, here shredding at the 1987 Austin Texas Masters. Such a creative style, thanks Jffe for sending this in.
Fact or freestyle hosts, Joe Cicman and Dave Nourie catch up with old school legends Eddie Roman and Scotty Freeman this week on the show, enjoy!
