There was another rider in the good ol’ days wearing spiked chest plates… @justinhoman was one of those early day innovators. Many people remember him as the inventor of the Holy Man, performing the trick with a rope attached to himself and the bike. However, Justin had far more ideas and visions that included physical modifications and devices attached to the bike. This shot right here–what could be a Nashville X Games Qualifier ca. ’02–shows a glimpse of the experimental era. Pay attention to the cut and reinforced grab holes in the front fender. So far I have only seen one other rider actively making use of the front fender during a trick: Australia‘s Shaun Richardson. But that’s another story.
