“Jared Swafford and I had plans to film an ESPN edit back in May, but we had to cancel when he was in a motorcycle accident and hospitalized. (Jared was a passenger on the back of the bike, fell off doing 60mph and got lucky.) He broke his hand pretty badly, but took a few months off and is back stronger than ever. I’m pretty sure he’s the rider that pioneered popping out of smith grinds and he takes that style to another level in this edit. This footage came from his first few sessions back at it, but he should be at 100 percent by now.” – Charlie Crumlish /
