Saw him do a very similar routine at the Velodrome that year and it was just a joy to watch. I think he won too.
There's somethin' about watchin' a true professional at work that does it for me. He's just so smooth and controlled and obviously at one with the bike - most of the flatland "pros" of today would laugh at this, but then, I think that's the problem with flatland today - too damn serious and too damn technical. Nobody can relate to it anymore.
I have to say that I think Fiola shows what bmx is really about - enjoying yourself and doing it with style.
