Bill Nitschke proved his overall ability. Street, flatland, mini rampin' like it ain't no thing. Twisting, rolling and scuffing his way to second in stuntmen flat. Most people would be happy with second in pro flat. Bill has to go out and get a strong fourth in mini ramp too. Pedal to pedal nosepick tailwhips, icepick to toothpick, nosewheelies, toothpick to fakie over the spine, and a perfect backfiip flyout. In stuntmen street, he was riding better than ever. He did an abubaca on the rather large wall behind the five foot quarter and a perfect backflip. 2nd place Stuntmen flatland @ 1992 BS year end standings. |
