Motocross Freestyle Takes to the Air

Biker: Kenny Bartram

Sunday was the last day of the Dew Tour, and the day for Freestyle Motocross, or FMX. I've never seen motocross in person before, and all I can say is Holy Crap! This was by far one of the most exciting parts of the entire weekend for me (and I watched skateboarding, went paintballing, and hit a concert!).

The Rose Garden was packed, and these guys gave it everything they had. And then came Kenny Bartram from Stillwater Oklahoma, and blew everyone off the map. With suicide whips and a backflip, all to the music "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" and "Save a Horse". I couldn't help but stand and scream when he landed his final jump, launching, flipping and landing in the can-can position. It was insane.
