Brent Starr was here in Boise for 2 days and we got a chance to ride with him and get a little coaching. I took a bunch of photo's but don't know how to post them. I can e-mail them to somebody to post. Dude absolutely KILLED it!!!! He rode for about 20 minutes and didn't even get his hair wet. Simply amazing. Got some pretty good shots and some crappy ones.

Start --> all Programs --> accessories --> MSPaint --> Open picture you want to upload --> Control + W --> Stretch, horizontal 50%, Vertical 50% --> Save file.

In WB.com hit post reply --> Browse --> open resized picture --> Add attachment --> Sumbit.

dave88lx at gmail dot com, I can put them up for you.

Or just get yourself a photobucket account. Try not to edit with Paintbrush, super crappy compression on that.

Thanks Dave. Yeah, it was unreal how much air he gets. Makes you realize that there are so many area's you can improve on not just including progressing with new tricks but taking the ones you already know A LOT bigger. Just simple 180's look amazing because he literally get's twice as much air as I'm used to. And he was riding a 135 Hyperlite State. Not to bash the board but it's basically a beginner board/intermediate board and here's a pro just destroying on it. All the talk about "this board does this, this board does that" made me realize you can kill it on anything if you have the skills, including entry level boards.
