Thanks for taking the time to kick these top 5's off Steve! Great list! Would love to see some of that AFA Ohio footage, Old school sundays!!! Much respect due! Big daddy kane style!
Effraim, perhaps you should add this vid to the post so people have a point of reference for Steve's unbelievable riding...

Steve is, and always has been one of my favorite riders to watch/ride with. Thanks for doing this one E.
@ Burd!
Thanks for the reminder, was actually meaning to do that reference point, so have just added that and will do for the future top 5's and other articles. That fight with flight promo is crazy! Good to see its got so many viewings!
Steve is an awesome rider and a great guy! Thanks for representing Indy!
That was a great Top 5. I had the opportunity to ride with Steve one time. It was very brief yet very memorable. I am post #6 so at least 4 more comments should be made to round it up to 10.
Keep on Riding!
Underrated Rad dad would be the word!
