I knew I was struck by the trials bug when I saw an old friend (Don DiBart) hop on a ledge with out a ramp. Instantly I was roped in and never gave up. I spent counless hours perfecting my tricks and training for competitions. I have had the oppprotunity to travel great distances and meet some amazing people and build great friendships. Doing shows was in my blood. As a child I'd round up the neighborhood and show them all the new moves I learned that day. The more people watched the better I did. My 1st show was in 1997. There were 10 spectators! 12 years later our team performs for tens of thousands of people!</p><p> </p><p>Statistics:</p><p>Age: 30</p><p>OTN Handle: EastSide</p><p>Bike: RockMan Slate 26"</p><p>Years riding: 15</p><p>Years Performing: 10</p><p>Favorite Move: Side Hop</p><p></p><p>Favorite Memory: I can go on for days! The first time I met another one of our team mates in NY at a competition in 2000. At the time I didn't really know him too well. All I rember is racing down the side of a mountain in a car and wondering if I'll make it home. "I didn't know it was a Rally race to breakfast!" </p><img src="http://static.wix.com/media/338e1d5c96910fa71ce5945de46e5c4d.wix_mp_128" alt="3 Tape Polaroid Frame" /><br /> <h1>Location: Edgewater State Park, Cleveland, Ohio</h1><img src="http://static.wix.com/media/0b73e20695e63387221af9ededf0220c.wix_mp_128" alt="DSCF4406_0152" /><br /> <h1>Robert Ponti</h1><img src="http://static.wix.com/media/681743bdde5bba8020e8baef489fb524.wix_mp_128" alt="IMG_8665.JP" />
