- Easy as falling off a bike We ' ve all seen him—riding rampant around campus doing death-defying tricks on his bike. We ' ve all gasped in astonish¬ ment and awe at the daring and skillful stunts he displays. Joel Stirling started riding his bike when he was six. Joel admits that he likes being a little different than average. Anyone can ride a BMX bike around a track, but not everyone can do free-styling unless they practice and work hard at it, he says. Most of his tricks and stunts come from magazine articles. Some of his stunts have exciting names like Cherry Pickers, Miami Hopper , and Rolling Gut LeversI Not just anyone can hop on a bike and try these stunts. There are special parts on Joel ' s bike that allow him to try newer and more advanced stunts. Some of these spe¬ cial parts include: an Oddesy Gyro—which allows the front end of the bike to spin freely without winding up the back brake cable, axel pegs for tricks and a lowered crossbar on the handle bars for jumping over. He ' s ridden in two shows with other freestyle riders. Joel admits that with a regular driver ' s license now, he tends to use the more con¬ ventional mode of transportation! —H.
