Deep Thoughts on the AGT experience

So now that the show is done I want to share some things about the ride.However exciting it was for those that know the Bros it was maybe 10fold that for us heare on Bray Rd. Its fantastic to hear all the feedback and how many people voted and pleaded others to also vote.After the wife and I decided it was now or maybe never get out to LA/Hollywood and also When I got a direct call asking to show up a day sooner to be able to get an interview on tape I started to compose my speech(even knowing best case they would use about 6 seconds of it) ,. Basically I wanted to say that I have been involved in American trials riding and competitions from day 1 actually building or highly modifying my first ride out of a Honda SL 100. Then I was going to relay that my experience with trials as a sport is basically about trying new and seemingly impossible things on a motorcycle and making that look so easy that other people give it a try and either have some success or perhaps fail miserably ,either way its kind of fun. In the early days the MX mags liked to say watching a trial was like watching paint dry ,well with modern machinery and the focus on extreme sports I say things have changed . Maybe I would have mentioned that in trial comps you do not get to practioce the course and each time an event is held the course is different. But the most basic message is that trials is one of the coolest unpromoted extreme sports in the world and my sons have taken the challenge and gone way beyond where I would have ever dreamed. BUT I was never offered a shot at the Mic since Phil and my wife insisted on inviting -Secret Weapon - Rad Grandma ; by the time she walked through the smoke cloud 6 times the parents were forgotten . At least I got to give Nick Cannon a fist bump in the popcorn room, But I would have much prefferred to rub Howies head.
