The idea of "real" VS "fake" street riders is asinine.

Skapegoat 7 is so good. I loved Hamilton's 360 tap into the pool.

hmmm, Mark Webb's "Street" edit springs to mind. There's people who go out, search, look and ride whatever they can find, there's others who hone a trick in a park somewhere and go out and film it on street. I honestly believe there is a difference. In my mind there's "Where is there a spot for this trick" and "Where is there a spot". I may have had a can or two, but I honestly think there's a valid discussion, maybe not argument, in there.


Skapegoat 7 was awesome though, I'll give you that. Loved the Hamdog's clips too.

Oh yes, what's the goss?

I can't really relate to any contemporary street riding, I like watching Lacey and AK but the pegless guys are by far the most interesting in my opinion. Richard Forne and Geoff Slatterly stand up!

oh i was just kidding around because he used to be the U.k ramp child of the moment before he completely changed into the street machine he is now. not slaggin him off in any way, just think it's weird when riders do such turnabouts in how they look and ride.

A.K, even with his sorded past, I can deal with...

But the love of Kerley has gotten out of hand. I don't see the appeal, sure it's all highly skilled. But, bitch cranking, stem humping, manualling and barspinning in and out of EVERYTHING is kind of boring.

Fair point on Scerbo. Either way, all legends.

him and joe cox in my most humble opinion.

though looking back and then looking at now it's amazing to see how far it has all come. yet i still think the way they used them/linked them was exemplary.

rode it three times this week, first time in 6 weeks proper... put my pegs back on, turns out I can only ride trails because it doesn't hurt my ankle (as long as I clear the jumps dubbed "the kiddies jumps" at the local spot). will probably take pegs off again, the universe has turned upside-fucking-down. Went from being at a level I was chuffed with to not even being able to hop properly. Either way, trails are fun.

It's insane just how much one guy influenced a new generation of riders.

you're not wrong, but he was a game changer (as i'm sure you know) and for me anyway, when someone says anything Hamilton related I pretty much jump in my mind to the first time watching can i eat or road fools 12. in the can i eat section the first line blew my mind, in rf12 he just fucking destroyed everything. one thing that bmx could legitimately ape from skating would be respect for legends. don't see a lot of it. some companies will drop someone simply because Johnny Flyout down at your local park isn't interested.

It sucks, it's also very BMX in a way... Personally I'd like to see him get picked up by someone, but I'd be doubtful. Skate companies seem to hold on to their legends a bit better. BMX companies can be more fickle, although given that they are geared more towards moronic teenagers, it's no real surprise.

i'm going to ride trails this winter i decided. not "giving up" on street or park but to be honest tom, i'd agree with you, other people are a hassle.

not the usual street pics, but most recent riding ones, like the first one. after nearly a decade of riding, i feel like the tabes aren't heinous.

le tabe. more importantly, le guns.


le bars off 4.5 foot 1/4. if you enter a jam and can't whip etc, just huck. all i did was tabes, turndowns, grizzes and bars. fuggit.
