BMX Dirt Pro Reuel Erickson

These pictures are of Reuel Erickson and some of his BMX dirt riding friends. This event took place just outside of Las Vegas in a town called Henderson. Findlay Toyota sponsored the event.Reuel Erickson holds the current world record holder for the longest backflip at 57 feet. Along with the longest backflip Reuel also has the longest decade air at 55 feet. This is similar to a tailwhip except your body goes around in a 360 degree turn with your handlebars instead of the back of your bike. This means you will have to get up off your seat and swing yourself around the front of your bike pressed against your handlebars and spin with them. http://www.diamondbackbmx.com/team.asp

The guy in the white shirt is Brad Wilson, I think he is from Australia.

It was almost like he was posing on his Diamondback Bike just for me! Becuase I am not a photographer, the following pictures don't do the BMX jumpers any justice.
