My life long session buddy! Mickey Gaidos
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009
Today my boy Mickey Gaidos came over for a session at my home spot. Mickey is a big reason I began riding flatland and I owe a ton of thanks to him for that. I met Mickey when I was 12 years old and since that day we have been obsessed with riding with each other for so many reasons. I could blab for days about why we love riding with each other. The obvious reason is that we know that flatland has brought us together. It’s very crazy to think that because of a 20 inch bike you can find a life long friend. That is exactly what happened with me and Mickey. We both know that we owe thanks to flatland for our awesome friendship and it shows in every session we have. We have had so many memorable sessions through-out our friendship. We will roll out “anytime” of “anyday” to meet up and ride. That is how it has always been and always will be. We have ridden and watched the sun rise, ridden when we were too tired to walk, and the best sessions were when we rode
and then talked about our love for flatland.
Mickey is by far one of the most talented riders on the planet. I have always admired his love for flatland because he seemed to be driven by the challenge of the trick. I have watched him pull more tricks than I will ever learn. He will learn a trick simply to get feeling of pulling something new. I am pretty sure he is addicted to that feeling and that is the reason he is the the most progressive rider I will ever know. I wanted to throw him a special thanks in this post for all times he rolled out to share that beautiful feeling of flatland with me. Most importantly I wanted to thank him for all the years of motivation and all the years of friendship. When the session calls….. We will be there…. Until the end….
