Rad Dad's first online video!
This video is from 2004 when I started riding all over again. At this point I had started relearning my old trick. I wasn't completing many of them at the time. I was very excited to be riding again. I am still excited about riding. After looking at my newest video it made me think about how far I had really come along with my riding. Yeah I am stoked on where I was and where I am now.

Yesterday I received a nice Facebook message from Marko Djuric from Solvenia, it's been years since I heard the name, Simon Stojo Falk.

However, as dvd´s won´t sell nowadays I figured that I am not even going to sell this one so I produced 45 pieces of them only which won´t be for sale. 40 of them will go to Japan, 1 to Flatmatters office and 4 of them I will keep for now."
