Hey there all you FreestyleMx.com fans. We just got back from doing four days of shows in Taiwan with Jim McNeil, Jeremy Lusk, Derek Garland, and Clifford Adoptante. This was the first time freestyle Motocross had ever been in Taiwan and the people loved it. After a 14 hour plane ride and a 6 hour car ride we arrived at our first venue,
The Pen Bay near Gaushaung.They had a cool festival there with games and food including ìstinky tofuî which smelled like a fried cow sphincter. They told us that it tasted very good but nobody tried it.
After an entire day of unpacking our shipping container and setting up ramps our boys got to light up the Chinese New Years celebration with our first show. The fans went wild when the show started, anddespite of some heavy wind conditions we pulled off our first three shows without a problem until at the end of the last show.
When Jim dazeled the crowd with one of his insane backflip whips he came down a little crooked and slid out at the bottom of the ram. He hurt his arm a bit as it scraped across the pavement but he popped right up and shook it of like a trooper. Then we had to find a new throttle control which would normally be easy but virtually everything in Taiwan shuts down during Chinese New Year. We finally found a brand new one inside one of our boxes of tools after Jim road the next day with a broken throttle control. The next day our first show was rained out but everything dried out in time for us to do the second show which once again received cheers, screams, and cries of joy.
