The BMX world is a crazy place these days.   Sunday night I watched the Dew Tour on TV like an old fat guy would watch a football game (easy, I know what  you're thinking!).   Flip whips, double dips and ego trips.  It's absolutely nutso.  One thing that really bothers me about those shows is that they'll say "Mike Aitken is leading in points right now" and not show one second of footage of him.  He's off the TV star radar, I suppose, but he's the best.  I could watch him ride all day.  Luckily there are shots of him in this, along with the ender (also no where to be seen on TV, unless I just missed it--I don't think I did though) of Morgan Wade's unthinkable line/trick/daredevil stuntery. 

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I've been working hard on the trails and finally hit a couple jumps on a twenty incher.   The frame is a one-off deal that I won a couple years ago.  I'm sure it looks goofy if you are less than 30 years old, but a few dudes know what it's all about.  More importantly, it rides really well and it is built up with huge knobbies, a 39-13, big bars and a Kashimax seat.  A what?
