REACQUAINTING WITH THE 20


Tomorrow I’m shooting the final photos for the book Pro BMX Skills. Stoked!

Today after I taught MTB at Lyons Bike Park, I planned the shots and reacquainted myself with the 20. Little! Quick! Fun!














Compared to the 140mm Stumpjumper I’ve been pump-tracking lately*, the Intense Factory Alloy 20 feels QUICK. If you nail this turn-to-roller, you can cruise the rest of the lap.

*Last week I did 100 laps in 20 minutes riding time. That’s my record—even faster than the P.bike. Could it be all the strength and pedal training? Or the fact The Twins prevent sleep, and I’m now impervious to pain?








I try to load the first half of the turn so hard I fly over the front of the roller and get crazy backside into the straight. This bike is so responsive I felt like I was catching up.








Pumping rhythm. This will be a sequence in the how-to-jump section.

The bike feels great. The shots are planned. Pro BMX Skills is one step closer to being done.

Little-wheel braaap!
