Jesus, Nyquist is the same age as me in RF12 - he looks about 35! Most of those guys look way older than they were, Hamdog and Doyle being obvious exceptions.

24. I wonder what the 16 year olds think of this place these days.

Probably these, although I got some dubious looking Nike Renzos from Sports Direct towards the end of 2011 and they're still going! They look horrible but appear to be indestructible. I run a brake but also commute in them so they've been used a lot.

I've had a nibble and it's incredible how much they soak up, you can drop onto anything and it feels like you're sitting on a sofa. That said I don't think DH can beat the flow of a proper trails rhythm section.

Sometimes I wonder whether all the Cali bigshots watched Voices and TWW back in the day. I mean you can film someone doing a ridiculous ice el toro to hardway 3 to nose manual etc etc but it would never have the depth and character of those videos. This captures some of that essence.

Yeah, and this is a shame. The more people I ride with the more I realise that us BGers are the nerds of the BMX world. I have to restrain myself from reeling off tricks and video parts during deck conversations!

Yeah, these guys are funny and seem to have some idea of taste, nice to see them getting some traction.
As for Adam's response, some of it seemed reasonable and most of it seemed like spin, but whatever he says/people think of him it would be good to see his monopoly eroded.

« on: August 24, 2014, 04:38:35 AM »I'm all for an edge, but I couldn't give a fuck about personalities. I'd rather it be about BMX than someone fucking someones girlfriend or being a bully.
Yes, this is more or less what I mean. It's basic media ethics. I think it's fine for people to criticise videos, products and even riding styles but getting personal and being a bully is not on (online as much as in real life). My point is that there is space for criticism in the community and that Adam filled that, to a degree, in the early years.
Take the most recent Drew Bezanson video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfy-tEtTDkU) for instance - Drew's a great rider and I watch most of his output, but the way this was edited was atrocious! Slo-mo for most clips and a song that genuinely sent me into a snooze. I'd like to see a blog which calls people out on stuff like this with wit and verve, rather than a) hyping it up ridiculously or b) going the other way and slagging off the filmer's mum or something ridiculous.
