As a Has Been industry guy, outside the industry for several years, I caught bits of riding on TV, You Tube, and the occasional BMX DVD. Morgan Wade has been a favorite guy I liked to watch for many years now. This video is simple in many ways, but just stepped up everything huge and progressed riding.
Then a quite a while after watching this video for the first time, I came across this old photo, which I think is from 1904. In 1904 there were no chrome-moly frames, no Bell Moto 4 helmets, no Red Bull to pay to build the ramps, and no emergency rooms if things went bad. How crazy was this guy, that it took a rider of the caliber of Morgan Wade, 105 to 110 years later, to repeat this trick?
