The guys discuss all sorts of topics including the glory days of the freestyle tour era, the current crop of talent today, the role Buck Up played in it's growth, and the potential lost art of the mobius to the back landing tricks. They also go in-depth into their training and preparation for new tricks and even discuss some new tricks they're working on and what might be possible. These guys are pushing new boundaries in the sport.

This one is a little longer than most, but oh so good! This is Part 1 of a two part series on Freestyle Jump called Then & Now. In this episode we talk with freestyle jump legends Hank Amos, Scott Clack, and Mike Tolzmann about the glory days of freestyle jump in the 1980's and 1990's. We dive in to a whole host of topics such as training techniques, the pro tour, the progression of tricks, the insane distances, the sponsorships, their thoughts on freestyle today, and so much more. These three guys are incredible story tellers as we go behind the scenes of freestyle jumping in it's hay day.
