Bored at home...reading through some old BMX mags...got me thinking:

Who would be the 6 riders, past or present, you'd choose to be in the Ultimate Freestyle Team?

First thoughts for me:

Eddie Fiola
Mat Hoffman
Jerry Galley
Corey Martinez
Sergio Layos
Jamie Bestwick

What do you say? You can now choose 6! Just remove your vote and vote again!

van homan

1st reserves: ken hale
taj

2nd reserves: too numerous to mention.

sorry stodgy: it's a hard q. sven must have an easier job to choose who to pick to kick a ball around for 90 mins.

i know that i missed out from the 1st team: the canadian beast.

and from the reserves: escamillia,the spanish fly, kuoppa, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. (or were they meant to be in the first six?)

i hope that u find ur dream team (but keep in fiola!)

let us know of your final choice.

Ok, so it looks like Hoffman and Bestwick are definately in!

Once we have a few more names in the pot, I'll see if I can put a poll up on the thread.

Remember this is all about personal choice - who you would like to see ride - for me, Fiola rocked and was one of the very early innovators of the sport. I never got bored of watching him ride. However, I agree he wasn't as good as some of his peers in later years...but that's natural progression, and doesn't taint what he achieved in the foundation of the sport.

Come on chaps, lets have some more...
