Aaron Colton Takes 1st at King of the South
Just back from Fire and Ice Tour in Iceland, Aaron and Sean headed to Tennessee for the King of the South competition. The event was very well attended. “It felt like Stutnwars”, Sean Colton said. Aaron had some good riding days in Iceland, but spent a lot of time stunting in rain and 50 plus mph winds with high gusts. Also the bike they modified in Iceland had some characteristics that needed to be adapted to and also limited a full out show for the Icelandic spectators. Will post some pretty unique pictures of the tour on Cyclespace.
After 24 hrs rest in Minneapolis Aaron and his dad took off for Tennessee. The challenging and somewhat constraining conditions in Iceland must have helped Aaron, because he arrived in Tennessee “on fire”. Sean Colton said, “Aaron uncorked a run for his final that pleased me as much as any run that I have seen of Aaron’s in competition.” The run earned Aaron 96 points to win the competition. This win strings three in a row together for Aaron.

Re: Aaron Colton Takes 1st at King of the South
my p.o.s. camcorder broke after the fast wheelie comp... so i didnt get any of the freestyle 
I thought Bill D was right up there with Aarons run ...but I'm sure there's technical **** judged, that I know nothing about...They all rode really good....especially considering the surface looked kinda crappy (they were all having to be selective about tire placement for alot of diff. stunts
