Back when me and my friends started riding stand ups we used to sit in class and watch him compete at worlds on youtube. He was the man!
 
I had the pleasure of meeting Malone on Sunday evening when he was trying to diagnose electrical gremlins and I got to ride Flyin Ryan's green Micro. Malone is a really nice guy. He did mention the possibility of competing again, but said that running EME takes up so much of his time that he hasn't had time to compete the last couple years but he would like to again.

hhh
It's refreshing to hear that his attitude has changed. I didnt have the same experience with him, but that was years ago.

It is hard to tell by the angle of the pics, but is he strapping / tethering himself to the handlepole?



This is why I ask... Different rider, but watch this video:

10 min and 20 secs in.

In Hi-Def, you can see he tethered himself to the handlepole to pull this trick off.


Either way, ballsy and sweet trick! I am terrified to take my hands off my bars when in flight :brap:
