Title: Riders you pay attention to this day age
Post by: Prodigal Son on May 11, 2015, 02:11:29 AM: There's probably a handful of guys I appreciate seeing a tag for a video even some interview.

1) Kris Fox, this dude goes so fucking fast and high. It's all done ultra smooth too.

2) Demarcus Paul, guys pretty good. Nothing ground breaking I guess. I like what he's done this far in his brief introduction to pro riding.

3) Garrett Reynolds- this guy.

4) Matt Roey - dude is too smooth and does an amazing job being in control of losing control of his back tire.

Post by: The Brawn on May 11, 2015, 02:48:16 AM: I'm a big fan of Devon Smillie's riding.

also Grant C, Seeley, Animal young guns, Dub/BSD guys etc.

I'm 38, only grind stuff and have never ridden a ramp for more than 10min. Anyone who's pushing the weird grinds on little ledges is fine with me. Give's me something that I can still go out and try without pulling my back out.

Anyone Dig interviews seems to be in line with my tastes too.

Post by: Allah on May 11, 2015, 03:44:42 AM: I watch most stuff if any of the following feature - the Cult crew even if the branding is shit, Chris Doyle, that other crazy guy from Kink who shreds bowls, Dan Lacey, Josh Bedford, RUBEN, Stefan Lantschner, Sergio, Matt Roe, Garrett Byrnes, Joe Rich, Hamilton, Garrett Reeves, Edwin, Tom Dugan, BF, Andrew Jackson (criminally underrated and underexposed), Brad Simms, Matt Priest, Lima and Geoff Slattery.

Also if it has been filmed by Richard Forne or has a screen grab of something doing a fat table I am more likely to watch it.

I have impeccable if slightly out of date taste.
Title: Re: Riders you pay attention to this day age
Post by: LukeTom on May 11, 2015, 04:22:54 AM: Mark Potoczny and Ted Van Orman. Dudes shred at trails and bowls
Title: Re: Riders you pay attention to this day age
Post by: JFax on May 11, 2015, 06:43:05 AM: I basically only watch vids from innovative street/ramp riders and the odd flatland vid.

Like Erik Elstrand
Title: Re: Riders you pay attention to this day age
Post by: CMB on May 11, 2015, 07:11:24 AM: Still an Aaron Ross fan. Also like watching the Credence roast trails.
Title: Re: Riders you pay attention to this day age
Post by: paranoidmexican on May 11, 2015, 07:42:59 AM: I don't usually keep up with any riders, I do enjoy flatland and flatland inspired ramp moves.

Chad Osburn? That guy is fucking nuts. I wouldn't mind riding like that at all. I definitely fuck with anything he's got video of.
Title: Re: Riders you pay attention to this day age
Post by: Narcoleptic Insomniac on May 11, 2015, 10:03:40 AM: Roey, Ruben, Hamilton, English Robbo, Bedford, BG's own OG David.
There are more I can't think of right now.
Title: Re: Riders you pay attention to this day age
Post by: O.G. David on May 11, 2015, 10:59:21 AM: Cheers man, means so much. BG wise i love this video from BDSM Master: https://vimeo.com/38986184
Title: Re: Riders you pay attention to this day age
Post by: Prodigal Son on May 11, 2015, 11:22:27 AM: You guys still appreciate watching Ruben ride? Same with Hamilton.

Both have had undeniable and really great impacts on what is and did happen. These days though?
Title: Re: Riders you pay attention to this day age
Post by: BilboBaggins on May 11, 2015, 11:41:44 AM: TeamSAF and all of the old fit crew
Title: Re: Riders you pay attention to this day age
Post by: O.G. David on May 11, 2015, 11:46:53 AM: Definitely, Hamilton had a great youtube channel that got retired for music rights i assume, his qss 5 part is awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI23P3upJw8&t=23m40s
And Ruben recently learned can-can manual carve, see this also: https://vimeo.com/27601520
Title: Re: Riders you pay attention to this day age
Post by: Prodigal Son on May 11, 2015, 12:43:18 PM: I guess different strokes and all that but skids, whips, and manual carves are watchable but I don't get inspired to go out and do some manual carves. His crazy whipped out lip slides are amazing but again I can't watch 2-3 minutes of the same shit. It's the equivalent of watching a video of every permutation of grind combos on the same equivalent ledge.

Hamilton is cool to watch, I like his Instagram. Comparatively to his former life or other people these days. I would pick a lot more people to check out.

Brad Simms is another dude that's fucking rad. Does dangerous or just really hard shit in the street.
Title: Re: Riders you pay attention to this day age
Post by: condrbkr on May 11, 2015, 01:28:25 PM: Anybody related to Animal, Mutiny, BSD.

Anything by Richard Forne.

Old legends still putting out new stuff.

People from Virginia.

A lot of the UK cats like Ben Lewis, Dub dudes, and what not.

I'll watch it. They still do some pretty ill stuff here and there, that legend level creativity isn't totally gone.

https://vimeo.com/70058106 (https://vimeo.com/70058106) Last trick is pure style.

That's the lad, he's got some bottle.

As for Ruben etc, I guess it is more for nostalgia but you still see flashes of brilliance.

Forgot to mention BK, love the Jekyll and Hyde thing he has going on. He's still pushing things a lot.
Title: Re: Riders you pay attention to this day age
Post by: Danno on May 11, 2015, 03:50:05 PM: Matt Roe, Robbo, Matt Priest, Ruben, Kris Fox, Sergio.
Title: Re: Riders you pay attention to this day age
Post by: tecnic1 on May 11, 2015, 04:49:36 PM: In ascending order:

Brian Foster. It's been cool to watch his riding evolve.

Joe Rich. Joes clips are pretty rare these days, so I get excited when I see them.

Chase Hawk. Duh

Tom Dugan. Goes fast, no fucks given. If I had to pick someone I wished I could ride like, it would be Dugan.

Title: Re: Riders you pay attention to this day age
Post by: Prodigal Son on May 11, 2015, 10:33:58 PM: I never see shit from Pat Quinn. I was thinking about Eddie Cleveland the other day. Then Jesse Whaley.
Title: Re: Riders you pay attention to this day age
Post by: JFax on May 12, 2015, 03:31:11 AM: Most of the vids I watch are park or vert contests though. I like the atmosphere and cant stand street riding

Post by: Patty on May 13, 2015, 03:47:51 PM: Ty Morrow-not into tech sissy shit but this dude goes big
Mat Olson-close friend and a very consistent shredder. He just got best trick in some contest in mexico against Daniel Dhers and a bunch of other dew tour monkeys. Nothing to Pendulum
Chad Osburn-lives close and is a super nice guy
robbo-just for motowhips
Roey-just for 360s on quarters
Grant C-to remind me going slow is fucking ghey and I need to go go faster
Title: Re: Riders you pay attention to this day age
Post by: BilboBaggins on May 13, 2015, 04:32:33 PM: Robbo and roey are the same guy to me.. the one who wears grey shorts and white shoes and rides for fly is good.

2) Demarcus Paul, guys pretty good. Nothing ground breaking I guess. I like what he's done this far in his brief introduction to pro riding.

I rode with Demarcus several times back when I went to college in Valdosta Georgia about 5 years ago. He's probably one of the nicest dudes I've ever rode with. When I met him he was riding the most beat up and broken bike ever, and still killed it. Seriously good dude, so I'm stoked he's making his way up in the bmx world.

I just watched his Dig and All Day edit, and it's easy to see why he's getting recognized. That tooth hanger to manual to double peg tailwhip out is just ridiculous.
Title: Re: Riders you pay attention to this day age
Post by: slvtn on May 20, 2015, 02:40:34 AM: Anyone who's fast and pegless.
Title: Re: Riders you pay attention to this day age
Post by: O.G. David on May 20, 2015, 10:55:47 AM: Yeah but i don't see that many Strickers anymore.
Title: Re: Riders you pay attention to this day age
Post by: condrbkr on May 24, 2015, 02:29:23 AM: I watched 90East 'Public Property' again today and realized that Lino Gonzalez is still straight murking it.
Title: Re: Riders you pay attention to this day age
Post by: Prodigal Son on May 24, 2015, 10:28:14 AM: I fuck with Lino. Is that video you're talking about a web thing?

You know who else is a crazy shit that is very entertaining is Zach Gerber. Tires up rails to front flip, big Wallrides very watchable.
Title: Re: Riders you pay attention to this day age
Post by: blueee on June 03, 2015, 09:05:56 AM: Dakota roache?
he does peg nibbler stiff while going really fast and really big
gnarly

who's the baddest granny rider right now? Like huge gaps and massive airs and awesome bowl runs and super steezy 360turndowns

tranny rider* haha

would that be Tom Dugan?
I want to see John ivers back in the skate park. Dude used to fucking fly through there
Title: Re: Riders you pay attention to this day age
Post by: Prodigal Son on June 03, 2015, 09:25:17 AM: I think Kris Fox is way easier to watch than Dugan.
Title: Re: Riders you pay attention to this day age
Post by: nightmare on June 03, 2015, 01:16:57 PM: Mike hucker Clark
Clint Reynolds
Brian kachinsky
Ruben alcantara
