This is jumping jumps. It’s not motocross. Don’t confuse the two. If you want to jump jumps, fine. Go to it. This is cool, too. Focus on it. Try to be the best at it. But don’t get on the track and pretend you’re a racer. You’re not. You’ll just be a 2x loser, not [...]

July 29th, 2008 · No Comments · Uncategorized
