Howdy, Adam Riha here. Hoj asked me to stop by, say a few words on his Xanga since we haven’t seen each other in a while. Well, when’s the last time you saw me? Target? I think that was it. Yeah, I’ve been keeping busy with the new wife, school, and my Xtreme Walking Stuff. And just for the record, Xtreme Walking equals Akmed. I don’t think you’ll argue with me there, I mean, there is nothing like going off road and nailing a 360 one stilt toe stand. Except maybe a 720, but I’m not going to go there today, I know Hoj and Sven can handle hearing it, but if some random guy surfed over here after overhearing all this talk of Xtreme Walking, he’d lose it and wind up in a coma, that’s how Xtreme the 720 is for you non-walkers.
I know Hoj saw my movie, if you haven’t I’ll toss a link up here
for it. I was touring, found my way to the Netherlands and ran into a cool group
of guys calling themselves Thundernerds who looked like they would be interested
in some Xtreme Walking. They picked it up pretty quick, although I started them
out slow, on roads, then sidewalks. Next time I go back I’ll introduce
them to the off road Stuff, and man will they go nuts. Did you see Martjin pull
that Antigrav 3X from the stairs? That’s not trick photography. I told
you these guys caught on quick. You’ll see me in the video toward the
beginning, I’m watching Alex do a curb walk with a 180 ender.
Once I get some more people involved here in the states, we were going to go back for a little get together. Show off some of our moves, and see what kind of crazy Stuff they’ve been coming up with. I was hoping that game Hoj was involved in was going to open more eyes to the sport, but it really looked more like a terrible graphics hack to Excitebike than the totally original PC game Hoj assures me it was, and why would he make something like that up? Right, he wouldn’t.
It’s time for me to walk on outa here. Walk Xtreme, or don’t walk at all.
