BMX/Awesome thread

So many nollie 3s.

BSD 'Living for the City' Part Two from BSD on Vimeo.

Heavy.

I’ll admit that BSD always has been “Berkeley Software Distribution” in my mind, but I enjoyed watching the land of Danny MacAskill BMX.

I was obsessed with that music video for a very long time

Took my pegs off and threw on a set of plastic pedals today.

Went to the skatepark for an hour and a half before afternoon shift. There were two other dudes there on bikes when I got there. They were friendly and encouraging, which was sweet. Got a lil sesh going with everyone pushing themselves to try new stuff.

I ended up learning pedal feebles on a small box and then taking it to a box at the top of a wedge to wedge hip. Psyched! New trick and new feature for me!

Then I slipped a pedal and sliced the absolute fuck out of my shin. The worst I’ve ever done it. One of the slashes is a about 75mm across and 5-6mm deep. Fucking brutal. I should be getting stitches right now but I’m an idiot so I’m not.

Lesson learned - no more riding in shorts, and I’m probably going to start wearing the shin guards I bought awhile ago and have never worn…

Fuck yes, this is my favorite dude to watch! This is all leftover footage from a video that came out recently.

No pegs, fast as fuck, weird setups.

This just got me so pumped for Ray’s preview night tonight.

This makes me happy

I guess Dave Voelker got pretty busted up this summer and was in some financial trouble.

The guy was always super rad.

IDK how to embed a youtube but saw this over at Landlords and fuck

Um, what?

I hate stuff like this.

Yeah, it’s impressive, but there is no style or creativity or anything. It’s just a crazy trick.

Yes, but it starts here and get incorporated in the next gen of videos on someone’s full ride. People do some crazy shit these days that couldn’t even be conceived 5-10 years ago.

bros like hoffman and mirra were doing huge whip to decades, like 20yrs ago. granted they were fuckin insane. contest tricks are boring tho. show me riding i can relate to. brick ledge feebles. bow legged tables. creative jibs. i love that shit so much more than dudes flying around in the air like gymnasts.

that reminds me, i think mirra was supposed to do RAAM with leipheimer or w/e this yr

oh it was last yr, and with zabriske. and they won

I’m just not into that style of riding.

I’d much rather watch someone go fast as fuck at something.

Clint Reynolds doing a simple table, Chase Hawk doing a motowhip, Trey Jones doing whatever Trey does will always be cooler than a 540 double tailwhip late barspin.
