I didn't start riding 'til the 80s. I don't even remember what I had, if anything, in the 70s.
Announcing... RiffMasters!

Here we go.
BMX in My World
I can't tell when it exactly started. All I know is I was a motocross fan and after the European riders had their Hey Day MX was centered in So Cal. It did spread quickly and it was not exclusive but in the beginning my favorite riders were there...

RiffMasters action is heating up bigly with as we close in on one week remaining in Round Six. Nicely crafted submissions well worth the wait!
@Ku² dumps a modernized lo-fi infused (and rather frenetic) Jenny on us for his His Main Event 80's #1 cover. Really interesting and engaging version with dramatic dynamics baked in... you just don't know what's coming around the corner in every measure. Fun hip-hop/house type elements infused keep it fresh and definitely quite danceable in a bloody-nosed punk mosh pit sort of way I suppose. gonna vote high, my bet.
Then the mysterious @Randy Van Malmsteen returns with an epic Wild Wild West theme incorporating a large amount of instrumentation and even indigenous pow-wow singing / drumming. It's all melded beautifully and a super creative take... but I wonder why all the native singing as we ride through town? This has gotta be the most well-developed Indian encampment I've ever seen!
I also don't know what nobody else has thought of harmonica yet (myself inclded) it's such a natural choice ... absolutely goes together with the footage like peas and carrots.
Wonderful flute melody too... I especially love that little pitch bend at the end of those lines. Nice touch! Really adds to the effect.
Wow Fellas! Kicking musical ass and taking names!

Lol, I was actually thinking about dropping some Native American Flute in there considering I've been playing for decades and own about 7 of 'em. I actually have an entire original album of Native Flute/Drone Flute music entitled The Fire Within. I'd always carry around a Pignose, mic stand, loop pedal, hand drums and Flutes and bust them out when random drum circles would break out.RiffMasters action is heating up bigly with as we close in on one week remaining in Round Six.

When I lived in Long Beach, (NY), I would bring e'rything down to the beach and play. Always had ppl stopping and enjoying, but my favorite visitor one time was a Dragonfly that landed on my mic stand and stayed the entire time I played, just watching me. Afterwards, I broke everything down and was going to go up to the local Starbucks to play an open mic they had there, the Dragonfly stayed on my mic stand from the beach, all the way there. When I put the mic stand down, it flew away. I took that as a sign and left. Dragonflies always follow me, land on me and seem to find me in the middle of nowhere. I play harmonica as well, but don't have the right key.

Also join me to congratulate @Randy Van Malmsteen scaling up from RiffMasters "Sideman" now reaching "Rocker" status, with 52 pts and leapfrogging over @Aynirar27 in the process.
I don't recall what he claimed for 80's number one hit, but I imagine with all his time served in cover bands he's probably got something waiting to spring out of his pocket
I-ma guess he gonna grind out Addicted to Love or somesuch

With all the entries coming in fast and furious, and the penthouse keys exchanging hands so much, an update on where we stand so far is in order.
Again, if anything is missing in my RIFFMASTERS matrix, please send all "donations" to LiveeviL c/o TTR, That's Liveevil (2 Es). It's a semordnilap. (HELL YEAH I LOOKED THAT UP!! I AINT THAT SMART!)
If the above is correct, then we find @Ku² and @TVvoodoo as "roommates" or domestic partners or whatever they want to be called. Just seems TVvoodoo is the one that is mainly concerned with how clean the kitchen is ... if ya get my drift.
@LiveeviL2000 is constantly being kicked out before he can even raid the fridge and holds on to a fragile 3rd place as @Aynirar27 (or whatever the hell his name is) positions himself within striking distance of the top spot as we hit the midway point of RIFFMASTERS.
@Randy Van Malmsteen is right behind @Aynirar27 and has been clawing his way up the rankings very steadily.
New comers @frostyjr2 and @Mouse have exploded on the scene with masterful entries and unless things change drastically, they are set to duel each other in round 7, reserve your seats for that one folks! THAT should be interesting!!!
We are getting close to round 6 coming to a close and going to a vote.
We are now in the second half of this RIFFMASTERS Challenge where the entries are AWESOME and the points dont matter!
I can't wait to see whats next!!

About the same for Wild West side hustles, but ten of you have offered bluesy stylings.
As always, RiffMasters challenges are open to any TTR member.
The only fail is not taking part in a fun and creative musical safe space!
Before this round is over you can try for points (many points can be earned just for participating)
But it's not really about points! It's about creating, participating and sharing with forum friends.
Top o' The Pops 1980's (redo any 1980s #1 hit however you like, minimum 1:00) RULES AND DEADLINE HERE
Blooz Man (or woman) 1:00 minimum blues styling any style, no rules really just do it and post in this thread) 1 point
Wild Wild West - spaghetti western styled music bed for a short duster, make music, add SFX, edit and post.
video link for download >> RIGHT HERE << (up to six points)
NEW DEADLINE FOR "80's" Main Event (80's submission):
7PM CST Monday June 24
Then we vote!
Also welcoming @Aynirar27 to "Rocker" status!
What an absolute tear he's been been on!
Should he be tested for performance enhancing drugs?
Might be just a shooting star and about to flame out
May have forgotten a submission... or maybe more! Fill me in if I did.

To be honest I have been taking a type of “enhancement” pill lately, but that’s only to keep me from rolling out of bed at night.
Know what I’m sayin!
Anyways, I have a contest question. I think I figured out why the movie clip sfx weren’t working in my ghostbusters cover, is it cool to edit the song post submission but pre vote??
If not, no biggie at all. I’ll just wait until next week to do it
