You think they send the Odyssey forks to a different heat-treater?

As amazing and impressive as Matt's skills and tricks are, it's just so crazy and fast that it's hard to comprehend what's going on at times. Ucchie just kind of flowed around and while fast, but not as fast Matt, just made his links look effortless. <BR/><BR/>It's like the difference between watching Aitken and Dhers/Spinner/etc ride. <BR/><BR/>I haven't followed flat much since I started riding mostly street but it's great to see an entire run of backwheel tricks than the nonstop frontwheel barflipping stuff from a couple years ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8634965595428261031.post-66249608504590382552008-07-19T22:03:00.000-04:002008-07-19T22:03:00.000-04:00Morgan Wade has been riding those forks, I think t...Morgan Wade has been riding those forks, I think that's proof enough already.
