Important update:

I planned for the book to be finished by now, but Life (capital L) has gotten very hectic, and I've had to put the book on the back burner.

Pro BMX Skills is completely written and 99% illustrated. I've laid out the first two chapters, and they look awesome. The section on bike fit blew my mind.

I'll finish production as soon as I can -- probably early 2009. In the meantime, I'll senf pdf previews to people who pre-order the book. Thanks for your patience.

OK riders, set 'em up ...
