Italian stallion Alessandro Barbero has a double page spread in the latest issue of Cream magazine. Ricky Monti shot the photo of Ale riding some street in Rome. Last weekend Barbero rode at the ASA Big Air Triple competition in Chicago. After a long wait his bike arrived just in time. In the first round he had to ride against TJ Ellis who later won the contest. It was a long trip for the short riding that he got to do in Chicago.
Back at Woodward Barbero had a nasty spill doing a barspin to tuck no-hander on vert. Well, on the resi, but he landed so hard on his bike that he somehow bent his forks! That must have hurt.
Today Ale is traveling back to Italy. He is doing a demo next week and then it's off to the FISE in France. Ladies watch out.
