- 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.

Cindy goes for gold Cindy Lathrop sat tensed and waiting in anticipation for her final run of the day. Dex—her horse—shifted his weight from one leg to the other. The judge nodded his head to begin. After finishing all the require¬ ments, Cindy ' s final standing in the third-level dressage was seventh for the 1988 National Championships. She had won the highest young junior rider award on the training lev¬ el. Cindy has been training for five years with the Donida Farm Dressage Team. Some of the four horses she has ridden have won regional and national championships. To prepare for these shows, Cindy practices at least two hours daily. Although she is very modest about her accomplishments and those of the team, Cindy is really very proud of the trainers and the horses. Other awards Cindy has won include the Best Over-All Pony Club award and the Best-Over-All Dressage. Her future goal is to ride in the 1992 Summer Olympics. See you there, Cindy! —P.
