Haha. I love to argue... especially when I'm right. Like I said, you could call it a corked 7, but you could also call an X-up a 180 degree bar turn.... but who does that??? You can't just rename a trick that has been done for years on BMX bikes.

Exhibit A:

Jordy Lunn


And his MySpace page where he calls it a 3 flip under his photos section.

Exhibit B:

Stephen Murray

Exhibit C - HOLY CRAP!!! This qualifies for this thread...


Alright, I promise I'm done arguing. It's a 360 airwalk. :cheers:

1) That's park

2) That's a 24" bike

3) Watch Ian Schwartz or Steven Hamilton and tell me that.

:D

I couldn't see that was a 24" cause the video was very small on my screen at work...but the tricks that you do on street aren't about the same ones at the park?...like grinds,wall rides,etc...i'm not a street/park rider at all but i like watching a lot...sorry my ignorance!!!:poster_oops:

and after all that people still say the 26" level don't compare with 20"...that was some sick 26" street!!!!!:clapping:
Ya it is 24". USB Molly. I have one, best bike I have ever owned period.

Joe rides a 20" too. He is amazing and holds his own with every pro I have seen come through RaysMTB.

I'd like to say I ride with him but it is more like I watch and then take my turn doing a lame wallride or something.:busted:

The tricks are similar but street riding is more about creativity and flow. Not that that dude's not an incredible rider, it's just that at the top 1% of 20" riders the level is unreal.

HUMMMMM...I think i had that feeling before...we use to downhill at the rain forest in Brazil...and for you to get familiar with the whole spot...you have to ride for 20 years...we also use to bust night rides when only the first of 5 or 6 dudes had a light so you have to follow him...bad news for the last guy!!!:monkeydance:

I know what you mean. But, it doesn't make me not want to ride. It makes me WANT to ride. It inspires me. It's like riding with people better than me. When I see people do crazy tricks, it helps me convice myself that I can pull whatever silly little trick I'm trying. It's like, "If they can do THAT, then I have to be able to do this."

Amen, riding with him for a day, just one day, would be as cool as smoking a bowl with the Dhali Llama. Maybe even more so.
