OK... It is pretty much undisputed that Aaron Chase is a bad ass.... But the sequence of him in the new Decline is off the hook.... Hand plant on a tree branch?!?!?
Sickness I tell you...

hahhaahah...I was JUST telling a friend of mine about that last weekend...
he's got SARS!!!!
he's got SARS!!!!
I believe the words I used to describe that to my GF was...
"hey babe, check this out...hands down the sickest $hit ever!!!"
Good lord, in one of the frames he is like at least 10' higher than where he lands and totally flat "prongin' the $hit out of that tree branch!

Then why don't you guys sign him? Or have you???
Aaron seems to be pretty happy with Manitou or maybe he has too ride 'em since C-Dale and Manitou have an affiliation...
I see Aaron riding at mt creek. Just sick pure sickness
That was on the Red Bull Freight Train, wasn't it? I saw a promo for the DVD, and the jump he made for that handplant was carved out of the ground without much prep at all. And in the same DVD, Rennie pulls some insanely huge gaps, both towed in and under his own steam. I can't wait to see it in full.
i've seen the picture, but can someone post it? it's so sick...
It looked to me like the jump was at John Cowans track...nicely manicured.
on a moutnain bike for surehucker13 said:
for 20", I'd have to go with Taj, Ruben, Van Homan, and Stephen Hamilton.
not to stir anything up but Todd Lyons was doing doing handplants about 10 years ago....D
no way. i was riding with Aaron in boston today around 2:10PM. he couldn't be riding mt creek today.sikocycles said:
but ya i agree. Aaron Chase invented a lot of stuff bmxers are pulling off now like peg grind and no-hander bar spin. he's the only guy who can do pull peg grinds who races at world cups and chase is stll just 20 yrs old! rocks!
lets just say that hand plant by Chase
took a whole day digging by about 8 guys to get it looking how it looked
all by hand
Chase just walked up to this tree and said i want to hand plant that branch
that was about 10 am, work on the jump didnt stop until about 8pm
it took him a good 30 attempts before he was actually close to landing it
after he landed 4 times he just started playing on the branch doing
various combinations of stalls and sucides
he wanted to attempt a nose pick stall but it was getting late in the day and decided
that it would take him too long to get it sussed properly
just the imagination of what can be done on a bike by that guy is amazing
and hes a real down to earth cool guy
it was an amazing thing to see it develop from inital stage right down to the final product

have you ever seen chase ride 20 inch? you would be very surprised. i dont know wether he invented any tricks but i have seen footage of him doing 50/50's then hopping around into fakie 50/50's and never missin a beat.throwing peg stalls in chain link fences and all kinds of crazy shizzle.kail said:
I'm not saying aaron isn't a very talented rider, but he strictly does bmx tricks. There's not a lot of innovation. I've got much more respect for guys like ryan leech who are doing something different BMXers can't do.
BTW- You should all do yourselves a favor and check out the new Macneil video, if you don't crap your pants, you are obviously unable, and I will gladly crap in them for you.

While Aaron throws alot of BMX tricks, IMO he has blended it with trials and lord knows where else he finds influence to come up with a style that is pretty unique...
As for sick BMX stuff, how about Ruben on the cover of the new Transworld? Or any other pic of Ruben for that matter.... There is a guy with such a different way of looking at riding... Unreal...
Oh yeah, and for Micro Sanjay.... If Aaron is 20, then the Dirt Bros were doing peg grinds and pedal grinds when Aaron was in kindergarten.... Go find a copy of Eddie Roman's Ride On and brush up on your BMX history....

Yeah... I got so excited about it that I had to show it to my wife.punkassean said:
Then I remembered that she couldn't give a sh!t.
:mumble:
dude, learn history,he didnt invent any of tha sh!t, he is taking from bmx, not the other way around, any sponsored bmx rider could jump on a p-2 and make him look silly...Micro-Sanjay said:Aaron Chase invented a lot of stuff bmxers are pulling off now like peg grind and no-hander bar spin. he's the only guy who can do pull peg grinds who races at world cups and chase is stll just 20 yrs old! rocks!
Uh... you should know by now that you shouldn't take ANYTHING that micro says seriously.Brian Peterson said:
He isn't even a real person... just an alter-ego.
a play off of "Mini-chase" who, I guess got banned a while back.
-BB- said:
Yeah... But the joke got old a long time ago.... Actually, next he will claim Sanjay invented DH...
Brian
LMAO!!!w00dy said:
Thanks for the offer but I'm good...
Yeah, Sanjay is definately cool...biggins said:
I heard that sponsored BMX riders were better on P.3's because they are more expensive than P.2's, what gives?urbanhuckbot said:
I bet if Chase had a P.3 he'd be the bestest rider in the whole world. Since he rides a Cannondale and we all know they suck! I mean Bearclaw rides a P.3 you know! OMGSTFU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are correct that BMX inspired most of Chases style of tricks but he has come up with his own share of unique moves and is an MTB innovator. But really to argue about it or attempt to simplify it to the level of your above comment is pointless...Oh yeah and I don't care who you are, nobody can make Chase look silly! (Except maybe those dudes from queer eye...)
I disagree even though mortal komabat is very good game donkey kong is the best game ever
Here will be my own little addition to this,
First, the New Macneil flick is beyond sick. It should do more than simply make you soil your pants.. I actually experienced a brain hemmorage during Rueben's seg.
Second, if any of you don't believe that a capable bmxer can and will redefine what is possible on a mtb, you most certainly were NOT at Crankworx for the slopestyle final.
Paul Basagoitia who has only been riding a 26incher for five days put on a clinic in both the qualifier and the final to claim the $3000.00 purse. Sadly however he is a far cry from what the top bmxers are capable of. Now don't get all your panties in a bunch because I seem to be slaggin MTB, I am not, I am just aware that in THAT particular form of bicycle expression (the slopestyle/sk8park/DJ arena) MTBers will generally play second fiddle.
I am however a huge proponent of this form of MTB expression, as it is in it's fledgling years and will most certainly eventually produce a set of riders who truly innovate and create.
How this relates to Aaron's radness...... it doesn't. He is an amazing athelete who has vision, he may be doing stuff that has already been done, but he still has enough vision to see what stuff is worth doing.
