MM CS USA 2010

For most of you the words above may mean nothing at all, therefore I'll give a brief explanation:

MM = Mislav Mironovic
CS = Croatian Sensation
USA = I hope you're smart enough to realize it means United States of America, which also means Woodward and Aptos.

Hi, guys!

 Well, it’s been a long time since I wrote to you about the news but here I am with more news then ever!!!


First I would like to start with two new sponsors that I just got! They are GO PRO Cameras & Leatt Brace neck support! Go Pro Cameras contacted me a year ago because they saw a video that I made last year about WOODWARD CAMP TRAINING, so after emails they hooked me up with new HD GO PRO! So I decided to make a few films called “POINT OF VIEW by CS”. I am editing the first one at the moment! THX Go PRO!


Watching the comps and tricks while I was sitting on a plane flying to Woodward, I decided that I would wear a full face helmet almost all the time while riding my bike, and a full face helmet wouldn’t be real protection without neck support, so I contacted Leatt Brace Company and told them about my work. They decided to support me and my neck with a Leatt Brace! Safety at first!!! THX Leatt Brace!!!


So I landed in the USA and there was a Don Hampton (the owner of DH PRODUCTIONS) again waiting for me and the adventure began! I came to states a two weeks earlier then last years because I was shooting for DH Productions new movie (25th movie from DH Productions) called ” HERE WE GO AGAIN“. We flew to Sacramento, CA. to visit my FOX HEAD team mate Cam McCaul and hit APTOS Jumps and STEP UP, stayed a few days at Cam’s house and hit the road again. Next on agenda was DH in Sacramento area with Randy Spangler and Tyler McCaul. A week of shooting and we where on our way back to the East coast!


WOODWARD TIME !!!


Finally I got to Woodward again! My favorite place for training, because the only thing you can do there is ride, train, eat, sleep… And those were the only things I was doing! It was my 4th time at Woodward, and the first that I had some buddies from Croatia. Jurica Barač, a Red Bull BMX athlete from Croatia and Senad Grošić, Red Bull BMX athlete from Austria (but originally from Croatia) were there! Until now I didn’t realize how great was to be in the perfect place with perfect people. Riding every day with my friends was priceless. We forgot about progression and we just had fun all together… The result was the biggest progression ever! We where just focused on having fun on bikes and that fun made us learn faster and ride better! Everyone was flying all over the place and there wasn’t fear, just new tricks!


One morning, Aaron Chase came into my room and woke me up… I couldn’t believe it! Finally my wish came true! Riding with FOX HEAD Team mate Aaron Chase and Kyle Ebbet! From the day I started riding 10 years ago I watched MTB videos “CHAIN REACTION” & “KILLING TIME”. Watching those videos every day and watching every trick in slow-motion was my way of learning because I was first and the only one that was riding MTB Freeride then. Aaron Chase and Kyle Ebbet where the stars of those movies and Don Hampton was the one filming them, and my wish was to one day ride with those guys and be like them in a video like “CHAIN REACTION”!


One thing I learned: sometimes you have to wait for 10 years for some wishes! Never stop wishing!!! I rode for two days with Aaron Chase and Kyle Ebbet and we where filming for my GO PRO VIDEO “Point of view by CS” and also DH Productions’ “Here We Go Again”!


That was one of the best days of my life !!!


Being a kid with that wish and finally that wish coming true was just priceless, and that is why I will never stop riding bikes and wish miracles would happen!!! You should do it to !!!


Cheers,
Mislav
