I can't think of anyone else I would want to see doing that. How do you not fear every fractional second of your tire eating the loaf?

the whole bike art painting canvas thing is a bit much for me, but other than that he is doing it his own way, I see no reason to think that he is only riding for the money, and dude will be able to retire once he's done if he plays his cards right. He also is the absolute best to the kids, that I've ever seen. I've seen other pros come through that have had a huge impact on bmx, "kept it real" and not "sold out", but they suck at interacting with kids. Which is better for BMX? I know my answer.

As a washed-up 30 year old bmxer who sucked at riding even when I was better...

Good for Nigel. This changes practically nothing about bmx for me and may actually do something positive for the "sport" (as much as I hate to call it a sport).

Indeed. No hate on him for doing that.

The narrative bothers me though, as it feels almost entirely focused on the negative.  The industry is somehow to blame for all of the things that keep a brother down.

I don't dislike him but he does annoy me a bit, and these Vice docs have done nothing to change that. I admire his ambition but I just wish he channelled that into some more interesting riding.

Yeah playing the victim so much in this one is a bummer, but on the flip side it was about time that someone speak about some issues our industry has.

I actually like the first part, but second was horrible.

getting called out and made fun of for making ridiculous claims and being a corny bastard doesn't count as "an issue within bmx"

anyone who says hes not a good rider is blatantly sniffing glue though

I find this sort of weird, as nigel is "advancing" the sport and getting all this money, they end up canceling bmx street in the x games. How come "street" is getting less support as nigel is getting more popular with the mainstream public? Maybe he is ruining the image?

Also it is totally acceptable to feel like he is undeserving of his status/support he is getting. It's more dumbfoundment, rather than jealousy. All I can say is it can't last long, but that's just my prediction. It is still cool that he can make a living out of bmx.

fucks sake, no one is 'raping' anything. someone has a job and is good at it, other people are jealous. people take bmx (people who don't rely on it for a living) way, way to seriously. take a step back.
