I know I write this a lot, but I have to bring it up for our new readers… we’re not a bike-riding site, unless we’re talking about Terry Adams. Terry is basically the best flatland bike rider to ever live, he’s a local, and he also happens to be a better skateboarder than over 90% of the people you know. Terry’s a great friend to all of us at the shop, and he’s seriously one of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet (he comes to the park pretty regularly so you’ve probably at least seen him). One of the things that makes Terry so awesoem is that he keeps it small… this cat travels the world (he’s practically in a different country every week), he has more sponsors than I have hairs on my head, yet he doesn’t let any of it go to his head… he’s one of the most chill, humble, and coolest people to ever walk the planet. He gets much respect from all of us here, and as it turns out, he’ll be getting some respect from national television in a few days. Check out this email he just sent me:

Just wanted to let you know that I will appear on a TV show called Master of Champions next Thursday (July 13th). The show airs on ABC at 8 PM Eastern / 7 PM Central. This is primetime. I was going to battle Rodney Mullen but he backed out.

I will be toward the beginning of the show and should be on for at least five minutes. ABC sent a camera crew to Louisiana to interview my Family, Friends, and see what I am all about. They even filmed me at the Voodoo Jam. So this should make Flatland look pretty Cool. Please check it out.

As noted int he email that Terry sent me, Rodney backed out of the flatland challenge, but it’s still awesome that Terry is getting the full blown coverage that he deserves. Much respect Terry… much respect!
