This was one of the gnarliest (or dumbest) things I’ve ever done… Six weeks after breaking my ankle, while prepping for last year’s Rampage, I decided to go all in on the highest risk trick off the biggest drop I’d ever hit in my life. Just thinking about it made my heart race. And the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to do it.

The way I convinced myself it was a good idea was by saying, “It’s gonna be the easiest frontflip drop ever because of how slow the rotation is.” Well… I proved myself wrong 🤣. On something that size, any mistake has unimaginable consequences. I also thought it would be an automatic win if I pulled this move and followed it up with the biggest flat drop backflip ever done on a bike. Yeah… we all know how wrong I was there too 😂.

Long story short; I’m glad I chased that wild dream. I proved myself wrong, but more importantly, I proved to myself what I’m capable of. Is that a good thing in my line of work? I’m not sure. What I do know is I’m in love with this process, and I don’t see an end in sight. It’s a dangerous game to play but there’s a reason we do it.
