Have you heard of Dave Mirra?

the condor was guilty too. but these were isolated incidences when compared to mid 90's downhill
also, you forgot the skinsuit part.
Well, not so sure if you see those skinny jeans. They might actually be skinsuits with denim print.also, you forgot the skinsuit part.
Most bmxers are so skinny wind resistance doesn't apply to them.also, you forgot the skinsuit part.
those are jeggings. and no.Well, not so sure if you see those skinny jeans. They might actually be skinsuits with denim print.
the only visorless bmx bandits that have been mentioned were from the generation prior to skinny jeans.
maybe over in your neck of the woods. bmx'ers here are one group that i don't talk sh*t to as a rule.
The dirtjump scene yeah, free gym building jumps but street and park? You better not sneeze at them
drop in...
This post is like directly mirrored in highlands evolution as a bike park. The first trail were all hucks to flat, 90 degree turn, huck to flat, uphill to a 90 degree turn to a skinny, to a huck to flat.
Now everything is all weird and flowy, with transitions and speed and stuff. And matching jammies.

you say that like it's a bad thing.
only a bad thing that they haven't flattened that old trail to build virtually anything else! I was just being sarcastic, the new trails are fabulous
^Like I said, momentum based features are not what that 'article' is talking about.

Dangerous Dan sending it!! Flow show!!!
I have the vid series north shore volume 1-5 beginning circa 1998 on VHS..
the first few vids are so terrible..
I must say I was guilty of a few roof hucks to flat..I remember when I first got a dh bike in 2001..hit up the local elementary school where the portable classrooms backed up to a grassy slope behind the school..
a few too many pedal strokes put me at about 15' to near flat..I was suprised that my hanebrink fork and 6" Mnt Cycle shockwave ejected me like it did..

Thanks (Michelle) Obama for guilting Sesame Street into having the Cookie Monster (of all puppets) promote good eating habits. Paints a great picture of how liberals view agri-business, some old blue hair with 2 wandering eyes, sitting on his ass, reaping millions off cheap minority farm labor.
As for the sweet rock huck pic, big ups for short shorts & thigh mid-riff, what appears to be casts on both arms, the sweaty homeless waif hiding behind said rock, and the polo helmet. Strong work.

for a split second i thought he was riding trialsin
I thought you guys knew your mtb history better. that is indeed "Dangerous Dan Cowan". No matter what the fashion police say, he was a pionneer and probably responsible for getting more people involved in mountain biking than any of us. I have heard so many british riders talk amorously about "north shore" riding. and where would we be without british mountain biking...?!

I still hear people refering to wooden features as North Shores.
Also NS bikes used to be called North Shore.
funny I was wondering what happened to him a few days ago and found this writeup/vid...pretty cool
except for his bike setup haha

No we all know exactly who woody harrelson is. And he is almost singlehandedly responsible for that extended period of circus tricks masquerading as bike riding that is an absolute embarassment (kind of like watching dh racing in the 90s). He and his buddies saw dirt and couldn't corner in it, didn't know how to build a real jump in it, couldn't hit it anyway...... so after watching old soviet block trained bears carring umbrellas and riding unicycles on tight ropes said "hey.....we should do that".

And no mountain bike in an entire major metropolitan area rolled faster than 5mph for 8 years following.
Truly the dark ages.
Seriously, look at this nonsense
There's a reason every norco, rocky mountain, and brodie bike all rode like complete crap forever with 20" high bottom brackets, 95 degree headangles and 2 inch long top tubes with as much stiffness as a wet bananna in corners. They were evolving into unicycles!
does this fine. but almost dies on a longboard afterwards.
i still cant believe how nuts this is, and this has got to be going on 5 years old now
i had early parts from them, it had that name with extension "extreme"
now NS has good brand work and is better than some German companies.

try a decade. that was first published in late 2005.does this fine. but almost dies on a longboard afterwards.

yea. on metal bikes.
As much as I like shlt talking Canada (but mostly just pinkbike), even back then there were plenty of people making fun of dan-sitions. It gave me hope for your race of people.I think I have a copy of that video with Kidwoo getting his Shore Circus Monkey on somewhere...
Woo you would dig many of the trail updates her now, we can now hit warp speed of like 9mph
But come on, even years ago you know I was making fun of the guys I was with for geeking out on a 2x4 when there were some perfectly good rolling features and singletrack right next to them. I'm a dick but I'm (mostly) consistent.
Every sport has their teething years......people used to see how many 360s they could do on flat ground on skateboards......... That's not what's silly. What's silly is pinkbike absolving themselves from it by pretending they were somehow separate from a 'trend'. One they very much helped to foster.
I gotta track you down when I'm up there this year. It's been too long. We can have a teeter totter race.

I don't think Pinkbike will ever shed it's roots as a hucker. Glad to have never been a part of the roof top huck to flat days.As much as I like shlt talking Canada (but mostly just pinkbike), even back then there were plenty of people making fun of dan-sitions.

Bring your trail bike Fromme is only a few blocks out the back door of my garage and we have a spare room.
I still have your number, that sounds awesome. Thanks yo!
But am I the only one who never rode a bike off a roof somewhere? I'm starting to feel very alone. So cold.......so vast..
