Hmmm....Nuttin' like drive-by shootings going backwards on a BMX....and duct tape works wonders on open wounds....Prolly shoulda worn some sort of head protection for that little gap that he face planted....Maybe a half lid made out of ...what else...duct tape!!

Cool video, but I don't see the flow with radical BMX and gun viloence,
with as many chances this dude takes he should start practicing now for the wheelchair olympics.....

Ummm. What's the point? if he gets run over by a 100 ton diesel locomotive do you really think a helmet's gonna save his ass?
That is true...

I want to see a MTB video of this caliber. It really goes to show the differing demographic between BMX and MTB.

I don't argue that bmx isn't more progressive than mtb but this guy didn't do anything too technical that I could tell. Nothing that a mtb couldn't do. He just did it in situations and speeds where he would pay dearly if he screwed up.

Full cab on a mini ramp, barspin to lander without catching the bars, half cab up that wall, half cab across that roof gap, big 180 gap, fakie across 4 or 6 lanes of traffic, gap into a moving truck, it was actually a really cool mix of tech and burly. A really good MTBer could do that stuff, but I still haven't seen really any of that done on a 26er.

I get stoked when people mix tech and burly. MTB's should be the future of burly, that's for sure. However, BMXers do keep on getting better. It's an interesting future ahead of us. I think people who aren't really in the BMX scene don't realize when a trick is really tech unless it's kind of pointed out. I know that when I see some tech flatland stuff it looks simple, until someone explains it to me.

You got me there. Just looks like a bunch of big 180's to me.

Well, that clip shows one good thing. To get good your gonna fall down. You would think for As much as he fell he would have a Friggin Helmet and some Shin guards. Thumbs down for the Bad example. Guys like this need to realize the younger kids look up to this stuff. The part with teh train Was just retarded. Apparently the guy doesnt have much to live for.

Well, it certainly was entertaining. Can we at least agree that no-handed manual with the wheel one inch off the ground that he seemed to be able to ride forever was pretty freaking hot?

The gun looks real to me...

EDIT: ehhh... maybe it's not - don't see much recoil or any shell casings being ejected... vid quality kinda poor, so it's hard to tell.

Holy Crap I know that guy!!!

I recognized some of the spots and then realized who it was.

He used to build his own frames in Gainesville Florida. He called them warlock. They were 24" specific but built with some mtb parts in mind. That guy was so ahead of his time it's retarded. A buddy of mine bought one of his frames.

Back when I was at uf he'd go manualing through traffic doing barspins through intersections. Looks like he's still doing the same shlt:rolleyes:

Edit: HAHAA just did a search and found this

Well based on the fact that he's been riding like that for at least 15 years back when I met him, and assuming this video is somewhat recent...looks like he's doin just fine.:rolleyes:

Yeah right after I posted that I kind of started remembering what I thought of the guy.............. I think I got all emotional about actually seeing him and forgot that I said the exact same thing about him at one time.

Previous sentiments rescinded.

Fakie with a gun? WTF?
