Morgan managed to outdo even himself, flairing the new "jersey barrier" gap, tailwhipping anything he wanted and doing what was quite possibly the largest pocket air ever

Morgan Wade sailed around the course at mach speed. His best move was a bike flip, in which he flipped the bike over, front-to-back, in midair. Morgan pulled the trick over both the box jump and the spine.
The Brad Blanchard bikeflip had been a complete huck-and-hope until 2004. Senad Grosic laid claim to the trick over a box and Morgan Wade let one fly over the spine during the X-Games X in Los Angeles.
Morgan Wade, Ride US, december 2004 : Nathan Wessel was trying it on the vert ramp and I thought it was pretty cool. He said, "Why don't you try it?" so I tried it twice in the foam. Once I threw the bike away and I thought it wasn't going to work, but then Nate said something about how to throw the bike. I tried again and pretty much landed on the pedals in the foam. I just wanted to see how it felt, because I had never tried it before. Fifteen minutes later I pulled it on the resi and 15 minutes after that I pulled it on the box to pedals.
It's way easier over the spine. It's just a little bit of a low awkward landing, that's all. You don't jump forward: you just go straight up, do it, and go straight down. Going over the box you have to drift over the whole deck, so it makes it a little difficult to get the rotation right.
When I first learned it I had both gloves on and it was working since my grips were worn in real well. But then when I put new grips on I couldn't do the trick anymore because my hands were sticking to my grips. I went to get a drink of water and a light bulb went off in my head. I put my hands under the fountain, got my gloves soaking wet, and then pulled it first try. So that's the key-get your gloves wet, with new grips, anyway. Eventually I took the gloves off and just got my hand wet. Sweat works better. anyway, because it doesn't dry out as fast as water.
I tried a 360 bikeflip into the foam, but it didn't work out. It seems like you could try a regular three and come around like a three-whip. I don't know how you'd hang onto the bike.

1st place pro park and 5th place pro dirt @ 2005 CFB, may 2005.
It was no surprise Morgan Wade won 1st place in pro park. Morgan went super high in the large pocket and 720'd the volcano among all the other nutty Morgan tricks.

Pro street worldchampion in Pragues, june 2005.
It was Morgan's first European contest and he made it count. He will be a regular from now on because he has put himself on the map winning pro street. He rode a double rail and tailwhipped out of it and did his first ever curved wallride to tailwhip in Prague. His tailwhips are from a different league and his quarterpipe air was sweet.
Morgan, www.snafubmx.com, june 29, 2005 : I have some really bad news... I don't think I'm gonna be able to go to the Rebel Jam anymore. On thursday Joe Simon, Aaron Ross, Gaz, Matt Roe, Joel Moody, myself, and this kid Adam Royee that works at Empire went to Dallas to ride this new concrete skatepark in Allen Tx. It was awesome! We were ridin around havin a good old time filmin some stuff and then I went for this air on one of the quarters... Hung back wheel and went straight to my face! No good! A few hours and twenty stitches later they let me out of the hospital... Got a concussion and a rather large gash on my lip. I should be all good but the Dr. said I can't ride for two weeks. This actually means a week to a week and a half, but I've been pretty out of it since it happend and I don't think I'll be ready to ride by the time the comp comes round... I was really looking forward to riding the park and visiting germany for the first time! I'm actually really bummed out about it... I was thinking that I could maybe come just to hang out because the ticket is already there, but the more I thought about it the more I realised that I don't think I can handle the flight right now the way my head is pounding. I think I just need to heal up a bit and rest for a while. Anyway everything is fine inside and I should be alright in time for the "Poo Tour" in Denver...
