(h/t to DigBMX for this find.)
Imagine my surprise when I open up Google Reader this morning and see an entry for a “Devon Smillie Edit.” I’ve known D for years and used to announce shows for Board’n'Bike (and Boat, IIRC). The kid has been going OFF in the sports of BMX freestyle and skateboarding (and MX? I forget) since he was a wee lad. His improvement and development know no bounds. The kid is truly that good. Just watch the clip, you’ll see.

Watching D ride makes me want to get on my bike. The kid has so much FUN! Riders like Devon make me forget how much disdain I have for the “culture” of the sport and remember how much love I have for riding little kid’s bikes. Devon recently had knee surgery but I hear he’s back in business and shredding again. Keep it up Boy Wonder! I look forward to seeing you on my television throwing down in some big comps real soon!
*BTW, I’m going to try to persuade George to post this as well. His tag cloud is so dominated by Devon’s name that it just wouldn’t be right for this one to slide by!
