todd, it s an annual tradition. bill s camera is recording as the men make their way along the narrow cliff top paths. they ve been riding for almost three hours when miles breaks abruptly. this section of the trail is crumbling along the edge leaving judge inches to spare above a dangerously steep drop. look at the penalty for failure, dude. miles decides to try riding over the eroded area and moves his bike back up the trail to get a running start. where we stopped looked pretty freaking scary to me. i couldn t see riding that so i m walking by. as i walked over there i looked over the edge and i was like holy crap, that s a big that s a big drop. as bill watches from the other side of the gap, another friend, e rick. attempts the narrow trailer. eric got up to the crux spot, which is the nastiest spot along the trail and he decided to put a foot down and tripod through the area. he makes it but barely. that s a hell of a job.
and cops and everyone showed up. matt has a concussion and is taken to the hospital, but he doesn t seem much worse for the wear. it wasn t like i was in a coma or nothing. i was kind of within the next week i probably hopped back on my bike and went riding. matt s fellow bmx riders didn t even realize he went to the hospital. i don t know if he went with the ambulance or not. i think he turned them down. i think he went and got some food. he probably just went to, like dunkin donuts and got a box of munchkins. or perhaps, they think, he went looking for nachos. after all, bmxers are drawn to that flavor. spice, variety, and lot s not forget the crunch. you always laugh when your friends fall. what s playful is you re going to fall eventually. what gets me is you could fall 100 times, but the second you land that trick, it s completely worth it.

mark brazzo is there and isn t at all surprised to see ron. he s very successful, very fast. there was no way he was not getting back on that motorcycle. but ron has a new worry. track conditions don t look good. dirt here s all broken up. i don t like riding in that loose stuff. it can get kind of squirrely. track conditions could definitely be better. but ron is not about to back down. he s ready to get back on the bike and do what it is he does best break records. i ve in a cautious state of mind. i ve made some changes on the motorcycle and the changes i m confident. there s still nervousness there. always is after a crash. just got to get back on the saddle and do it again. i m optimistically conscious. mark is manning his camera midway down the track. i always want to make sure i get a shot of ron, because he is the fastest thing on two wheels. i heard over the radio that ron
the stunts are amazing, but so are the crashes. oh! today s riding was probably some of the most world class riding that you ll see in like a back street parking lot over a plate of nachos that will probably ever exist in the bmx, or humanity in general. the nachos event may seem like nuts, but it s light fare compared to the stunts served up at the aptly named bone death competition. we re riding in a swamp on some garbage. the scene in new bedford was probably one of the weirdest bmx scenes that i ve ever witnessed. it was a course basically built in between two buildings, on a swamp. bmx rider paul herrane built
