## Caption

1992 was the year I learned backflips. I woke up one morning and had to get my piss bag removed because I tore my urethra. I wore it for a month. I had a kicker ramp in the back of my truck. Once the doctor took out the catheter. I went to the lake and did a bunch of backflips. Then I came to the backyard put down a mattress some pillows had some friends hold a blanket like a fireman catch like picture as if somebody was jumping out of a building to get caught. I backfliped onto the blanket and the mattress but it made me crash so I took it away, the sun was setting. Right before the sun was gone I pulled my first backflip and then I left for tour the next morning for a month. This session was after that tour. That was 34 years ago. Before most new school riders today were born…time files enjoy the ride 🤪 #bmx #ride #bikerinblack #rickthorne #stayrad 💯STAY RAD💯 stayradband monsterenergy monstermusic jtracingusa therickthorneshow cookingwiththethornes rickthornesheadphoneseries rickthornesradrecordreviews gardenoflife
