Grassroots Description: There is so much history in this photo, it's not even funny. This is how it all began. Me riding a minibike in the 1980's, Charles doing the freestyle thing. At some point in 1990 we met and he introduced me to this flatland concept of freestyle. I wasn't riding any MX at the time and it just kinda took off from there. Here it is some 14 years later and we're still going at it. Both of us are old and kinda broken now but we still enjoy getting together and bashing it out. Charles is one my closest friends and is responsible for several things on this website. He is the photographer (responsible for 90% of the photos) and is also the webmaster and is soley responsible for making me get off my lazy ass and create 11000rpm.com. For those that have witnessed his photography on 11000rpm can tell you he's no slouch with a camera. He's also a badass on two wheels. I'm stoked to be able to show what got us started and to share some of his other talents that have gone unseen by most. Here he is laying a Opposite Elbow-Glide and prepping for the upcoming Hitchhiker.

Odd Site Description: I've been know to do a little flatland myself, but I suck. This is kinda the bmx version of a stoppie.. but these last longer and dont require brakes. Just alot of room. Rider Aaron Remkus Photographer Deanna Young Date: 02-27-2004 Filesize: 20.9k, 640 x 480

Closure Description: So this is how it all began. A 20-inch bike and alot of time to kill. Charles and I have been riding some form of 2 wheels pretty much our whole lives and will continue to do so until we're too old to walk. What an unlikely, unplanned team we turned into Charles. I wouldn't change it for the world. Thanks for all your help and support dude. You've put a TON of hardwork into this website that goes unmentioned sometimes. I'm here to tell you people that if it wasn't for Charles this stuff would NOT exist. Most people didnt know that you are a rider too!!!!!
