PRO BMX SKILLS: IT’S TANGIBLE!

After 2+ years of work, I’m holding a proof copy of the book Pro BMX Skills. It feels heavy. Thick. Good.

Here’s what it looks like:

There she is: the most complete treatment of BMX equipment, techniques, tactics and training ever printed.

I shot technique photos at the Olympic Training Center (left), and I got race photos from Mike Carruth at bmxnow.com. Super sweet.

A couple ways to ride a camel hump, from the Flow Around the Track chapter.

Thanks to Jason Smith at Commerce Printing in Sacramento, CA for the proof copy. (Jason is an avid MTB and moto rider.)

To do:

- Re-shoot a few photos.

- Fine-tune some images.

- Attack this thing with a red pen.

- Pull the trigger and get it printed.

- Unleash my new gate start technique on the WORLD!

   When does V.2 come out?

   MMBSii will be out this spring, according to the publisher. Looks like I’ll have two books coming out around the same time. Crazy.

   Dad and I are very proud of you. Amazing accomplishment, considering everything you have on your full plate!

   Golly, thanks Mom and Dad!

   Lee,

   I’m stroked about the new book - and I don’t even ride BMX. Is there something there for those of us who stay 26″ and up?

   JimV

   BTW, I think I’ve read MMBS more than any other book I’ve bought in the last 5 years. I was thinking about dirt jumping this morning and I can review your text in my head, I’ve read it so often. Looking forward to MMBSii, too.

    Yes, Pro BMX Skills contains lots of stuff that mountain bikers will find valuable. Lots of detail on pump, crazy awesomenes about sprinting, and — the highlight of the book — how pros ride various BMX obstacles (which are essentially smoothed out natural obstacles).

    If you race 4X, the whole book will help you.
