Maul’s Bike Shop held their annual skatepark contest at Skaters Edge in Taunton, MA on April 7, 2013. Last year there were sooooo many entrants that the contest ran all day, but this year riders pre-registered and things moved along at a nice pace.
For an old guy like me, it’s crazy to see the progression of BMX. Tricks that were pro-only moves — and even then, only the top pros — back in my day are now standard moves that even some riders in the Intermediate class were doing. But one thing still holds true: a huge air is a sick today as it was back then.
Here’s a slideshow of some of the photos I took. (If you’re on a mobile or non-Flash device, check them out on Flickr.)
Also, here’s some video (not shot by me) of the Pro class finals:
