Best Finish- In true John Carpenter 80s style, the final finishing move of Big Trouble In Little China comes out of nowhere with a bam! As Kurt Russell’s lipstick smothered Jack Burton takes on the mighty and almost immortal Lo-Pan in his throne room following the wedding ambush, it looks to be nearly the end for the rescue attempt. And as Jack’s nifty knife-throwing skills seem to have failed him at the very last knockings, he manages to turn it around, catching Lo-Pan’s deadly dagger and flinging it right back at him. Straight into his forehead. Dead as the words “Goodbye Mister –Uh!” slip from his lips. And with a thunderous earth quaking crash, Lo-Pan’s underground empire crumbles around them.

-    Worst wipeout- John Block’s clavicle/bike shattering indo at Slickrock Moab.  Technically it wasn’t my wipeout, but I was completely to blame.  I said “John why don’t you ride down that face over there and try and flow a lot of speed onto the trail” thus securing front row tickets for the gnarliest most rad indo I’ve ever seen.  As John came flying by me I couldn’t help but think he sure was going fast.  This train of thought was stopped abruptly when John’s front wheel become thoroughly lodged in a crevice in the rock and his bike began a pendulum effect catapulting John over the handlebars and continuing through its 180 degree arc to finally suplex John shoulder first into the Slickrock of Moab.  The result was a broken clavicle requiring a plate and 6 screws, copious amounts of road rash courtesy of Slickrock, and my Bell and Co. jersey with a few extra holes which John was wearing at the time.
