Its like Garret Reynolds and Shaun Burns had a child that was left as an orphan at fbm. There is some brilliant riding in this. I love it, you will love it, and I hope you're impressed.

However, this was also put out today.

Mike Mastroni is easy to watch a couple of times over and does things you will remember.
-
Mastroni's was better, Gerber got boring real fast. Tooth, over tooth, cab, tooth, frontflip, yeehaw, frontflip, yeehaw, tooth, fin.
-
That Gerber dude is gnarly. Mastroni is a kook in the best way.
But did you see Dakota last week?

Zach Gerber is too good.
Some of Mastroni's Football section was kind of meh to me but I really enjoy his Finer Thing's section. His riding definitely came to his own.
-
I'll take Mastroni's part over any other posted so far.

Yep, I came back here to post that.

Not a video part but still worth a watch. Shad Johnson talking about bmx https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrKS_Y1hjDE
Watch the Pool's Gold series while you're there also.
-
That drew B video made me sick watching it. So crazy

Videos like those get me so pumped on bikes. I hadn't watched that Shad Johnson one, thanks for that.
-
Both great sections. Gerber is an animal, hammers over style deffos though. Mastroni is like a more accessible Tate Roskelly, an eye for interesting setups and unco lines (funny that theres some richie jackson clips in there).
-
fvck that............Drew B brought it kids
-
Shad Johnson is still around?
-
That Drew B thing is definitely sickening.
I'm a little Ians Wartz on the Mastroni video. How many of those rail setups did he purposefully make? I get the painting bit, thats smart marketing.
-
i was wondering about that. dont have a problem with it though, especially when you wanna do something that will only work on a very specific setup
-
Drew b wins bmx
The new viki gomez video is really good too
-
I honestly feel like the Zack Gerber edit is better than the Drew B edit.
Some of the spots that Zack makes work are what really impresses me. Drew's edit obviously had a pretty decent budget where Zack probably had almost no budget and probably found a lot of those spots instead of making them. No denying that the Drew edit is absolutely nuts, but I feel like the Zack spots had a lot more potential to really destroy him. Some of those front flips are just insane... Some of those rails are burly too.

I would say falling off the curved wallride would be way way way way more likely to kill you than anything Gerber did. Except maybe that last frontflip.
-
I really like Demarcus Paul. He's the last dude on this.

Demarcus is one of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of riding with, let alone just in general. The dude is just awesome. I got to ride with him several times back when I was in college in the middle of nowhere south Georgia in the town of Valdosta. When I met him, his bike was absolutely falling apart. Like, I think he had an unsealed 48 hole front wheel with a 36 hole cheap Odyssey rear wheel that must have been missing 6 spokes, and a Euro BB that fell to pieces when I took his cranks off. It amazed me how good he could ride that bike though, and he always had a smile on his face. It's really cool to think that he took the risk of moving to California and that it worked out for him.
I saw him at Interbike a couple of years back when he was riding for Freed, and he immediately came up and gave me a big smiley hug.
That Kinked rail he Icepicks up is just ridiculous. I don't think I've ever seen an edit where someone goes up a rail that long, let alone ice's it. That over smith slide on the bank to rail is just awesome too.
