Facetime with Simon Tabron
ESPN BMX caught up with Simon Tabron to talk some history of spinning with him. Take a peek!
“U.K. to U.S. BMX Vert transplant Simon Tabron may not have been the first rider to claim the 900 (Mat Hoffman pulled it first in 1989), but there is no doubt that Tabron is the owner of the most consistent 900 spin in all of BMX, as well as the one and only back-to-back 900 in all of vert.
In the above video, Tabron recounts his early days learning 540s (where he mistakenly over-rotated a 360 to fakie), his dalliances with early 900s (where he over-rotated a 540) and the obsession that stirred inside of him after successfully getting the rotation down. But the 900 air isn’t something vert riders can toy around with though. As Simon recounts above, he had to choose his battles of when and where to throw the trick. Sometimes it worked out (at the Worlds in 1991) and sometimes he went eight years without landing them. Video by Justin Kosman” – ESPN BMX
