Thanks Dusty / Viki ! Gonna enjoy listening to this . Viki is a true class act …..on AND off the bike ! Cant stress just how much he has pushed , innovated ,and is STILL moving the progression , creativity of bmx flatland . One of the first things that springs to mind is his signature switch hand/ bars big Mc circle…. to 360 bar flip , landing in wrist twist position to tomahawk . He was nailing that move MID -LINE in combos as far back as 1999 , when he was riding for one of my favorite clothing companies , Jnco jeans . When he first started coming to C.F.B. bmx events , riding his all bright orange Quamen , throwing down such original , technical moves like the one I just stated …….riders didn’t know what to think ! They just KNEW………this guy came to the U.S. bmx contest scene to win and make his riding presence……..FELT ! Jorge Viki Gomez = a true bmx flatland innovator , TIMES 7 .
Yeah dude! A fun one. Got crazy motivated after this one..!
And that was before Redbull gave Vikki or anyone any wings, haha!. I’ve got to agree, Vikki’s been a big innovator, rode great with & still getting better without brakes. If I’m correct, I think he can do just about anything without brakes. That puts him right up there, in my opinion.
