Aaron Twite Freestyle

I have finally completed a trick many years in the making!  Another first in the discipline of acrobatics, I have combined a back flip with a circle wheelie.  The diffuculty level of this trick is quite high, therefore the success rate is still low.  By my standard a trick is not complete until it has been demonstrated in competition format.  I unveilded this new trick during the Sickest Trick competition at the 2009 XDL Freestyle Finals, in Indianapolis IN.  Although, I did not win, I successfully completed the trick in competition.

This weekend I traveled to Indianapolis, IN for the XDL Freestyle Finals.  This was the biggest competition in the US all year and all the best riders from the US were in attendance.  I competed in three events:  individual freestyle, circle challenge, and sickest trick.  I spent the weeks prior training diligently, and I had invented a new trick just for the sickest trick competition.

I won the circle competition, qualified 6th for the finals, and successfully executed my new trick in the sickest trick competition.
