Midwest Stup Up
Hmmm, I like them all, but putting the best riders in Florida is a big statement. Yeah, Florida is nice and sunny, but you get to ride all year round. Up here in the Midwest you may see our talents as mediocre or even equal, but you have to remember that we only get about 5 to 6 months of riding in a year.
I like Kyles idea so much, I want to do the same with the midwest. So, I guess this would be a battle of the videos.
ANY NONE FLORIDA TEAMS ONLY, I'm talking to you KC's Most Wanted, Head Shake, Legion, Psychogang, Vertical Mischief, and More.
Same deal, just send us your best raw footage, no more than a 1hr tape & mini dv only.
Also send a letter with all the advertising info, website, sponsors, were your from, riders names. Hell even a quick bio would be cool. Kyle is right, this makes your sponsors happy, hell, with this you might just GET some sponsors.
Send that Mini DV to:

Not sure on a deadline yet, but since we are Midwest, let's say November 1st, because usually we are freezing our asses off by then wishing we could stunt.
This is nothing against Kyle or a challenge, I do this because I love ya bro.
Here is the deal. I was quietly working to get with the different midwest groups to produce a Judgement Day style video. However, I wanted to do it with a twist. I want to do it that way, but I want the groups that get involved to get the cash.
I have no problem with putting my heart and soul into something that I believe in and only come out with what I put into it. Kyles idea just made me decide that I needed to do it now.
Basically, I agree that Florida has some kick *** riders, hell, Cali is the same way. However, being 'climatically challenged' in the Midwest I believe we all have that extra something. Not only are we at the top of our games it doesn't take long for us to learn the new stuff that the southern states throw out. We even put out new tricks from the Midwest, look at Dan Jackson.
BUT, this is why I love the midwest riders so much, we have about 4 to 5 or 6 months MAX at the most to do it. Then sit off bikes for months at a time waiting to get it going again.
All in All I love this sport and I want to take it up a notch, but I have been traveling around seeing these guys that rock, but get no props. I figure there could be another JD style video where they are going to just get exposure, or there could be a JD style video that puts a little of that dough they spend fixing bikes, paying tickets, creating shirts, etc., back into THEIR pockets.
And, from me, I love watching Kyle ride, he is awesome, and I'm sure his video will be off the chain when it comes out, but how cool would it be for that video to come out and then a Midwest one coming out with the same things with people knowing, DAMN they have less time to ride than they do. Maybe it is just me, but I think if everyone gets involved in this, with some help, I can do this and make sure people get the props they need and deserve.
