Favorite Trick: Super Street Bike Dubbed:
'Kane Insane' "I was honored to have a trick named after myself… basically I do a 12 O'Clock and while the bike is scraping on the bar I jump up to the headlight & perform a handstand. All while the bike is in motion." New Tricks: "There are so many new & technical tricks that I enjoy practicing and learning... too many to really name any in particular. Circle wheelies, & handbrake specific tricks tend to be high on my list of tricks that I am putting a lot of effort into learning. Along with many new freestyle balancing act tricks that I have been working on as well." |
