Kain Saul 2009 Update
Sunday 13 December 2009
This year started off pretty slow for me as i broke my leg in january, then missing out on the New Zealand Crusty Tour because of it. I still wasn't up to the level i would have like to have been, going into the Cap City Crusty Tour but i ended up getting the job done and doing what i needed to. Since then i've been over doing shows in South America at a place called Paraguay, which i loved and had a great time. Also, Showtime FMX shows all over AUS which are always fun.
Then it was time to step things up a little, i made a few calls to Gaven Walker from Quick Fix Harley Mildura, about flipping a Harley Davidson for a worlds first. He had this jumped planned for a while, but no one really wanted to do it so i jumped at the chance. We thought we would have a couple of months to prepare for this jump, but Gav called me on a Thursday arvy, and said you need to get down here right now and flip this XR 1200 to dirt before this other guy does it. So we had till Saturday to do it. I flew down Friday morning and went straight to Cam Sinclairs foam pit and did 6 perfect flips into the pit at around 40 feet, even throwing a one hander flip in as well just to be cheeky. Come Saturday it was time to do it, I did another 6 flips into the pit then we pushed the ramp over to the dirt landing and got it all set up. It was a really bad cross wind but it had to be done, lets just say that was the scariest moment in my life (shitting myself) lined it up and went for it, pulled it clean for the worlds first back flip on a Harley Davidson. Definitly happy with that.
Since then i have just been practicing alot and i'm riding the best i have been in a long time and loving it. I'm back off to South America in January for some shows and hopefully doing alot more Harley stuff and seeing how far i can push it.
