Trick: Backside Heelflip
Location: Lake Holden
Driver: Dieter Humpsch

Over the past month, I’ve had the priviledge of shredding with Mr. Hansen. During this time, Reed has blown my mind with just how amazingly consistent he is on the water. With tricks like backside bigflips and switch frontside flips on lock, I guess  its not at all far fetched to believe that a back heel is within his ability.  On this day Reed came over specifically to attempt this maneuver, and after several close attempts, decided to call it a day. Luckily I knew never to count Reed out and kept my camera in place as he in fact ended up taking one final stab at it. He of course stomped it, etching yet another new trick into the books.
