morgan wade is nuts. matt, get the mag if you can, it has a sequence of him doing this trick.

has anyone seen the pics of him in the latest uk RIDE? tailwhip off the top of a massive wall, pulling some ridiculously high air on a quarter and trying a curved wallride to flair out!

Fair point...I remember him trying them at just about every comp I saw him at too.  Thing is Morgan is doing a different variation of the trick and nailing it consistently

I have to say that Morgan Wade has impressed me the most. A lot of the guys that are in the mags now are good, don't get me wrong, but Morgan is sending progression into new areas. It kind of reminds me of the time you'd pick up an American mag in the 80's and see the new tricks.

Remember the first time you saw pics of Mike D doing a can can, Hoffman doing a Flair, Kevin Jones doing a backpacker? Wades bike flip had the same "Wow" effect on me. You just don't get that with a lot of riders who are always in the mags doing turndowns, wall rides, grinds etc. It's good to see something different.  8)
