5.13.08 ASIAN X-GAMES
Last week Jimmy Fitzpatrick ,Justin Homan and Ryan Hagy were in Shanghai China competing in the Asian X-Games. The event was a little scary as they siphoned gas out of a taxi for them to put into their bikes. The bikes are used to 110 octane, and the gas from the taxi was around 78 octane, so things were a little sketchy. It was a bit windy the entire time, but that did not stop them from doing their job. Like all tourists, the guys found it hard to get used to the food but once they found a McDonalds and a Pizza Hut down the street, they were set.
The FMX part was only a demo as they did not have enough dirt to make a full course, so the competitive blood didn’t flow through their bodies until the last day. STEP UP time, yes step up was the only competition. Step Up over there was a little bit different than the states. The take off was around 8ft and normally it’s around 12ft, but we made it work. Justin Homan brought back his OG status and took the GOLD while Ryan Hagy took SILVER. Sorry there are not to many riding shots. Our only source decided to spend most of his time riding.
