great riding, but pharell williams? seriously? if nige and pharell are kickin it on the reg, then that explains why pyradice is so fruity #billionaireboyzklub
LuckyLuke:
Hes too old to be really pushing the sport from a riding perspective. So all the power to him to push bmx from a business stand point if he has the right connections.
Prodigal Son:
Maybe if he put out videos like that regularly he could get a better response from BMX. I suspect the core of BMX is not his demographic though.
LeonLikesToRock:
The thing I don't get is that he is saying that he isn't a typical BMXer? I don't quite get that. Does he mean he doesn't look like the vert riders that pushed the sport into the main stream (Hoffman and Mirra) or that he doesn't look like a typical street rider? I get it if he is going for the latter but I'm pretty sure 'dude from the East Coast with pegs and no brakes' is the image of a street rider and has been for years.
dude...:
its all just marketing blurbs to make him seem edgy, i think theyre playin on the fact hes a pro with corporate sponsors, but hes not a ramp rat.
its not really unique though, edwin was on red bull for years but he was totally chill about it. he was in the same situation, street rider from new york who started at the bottom and managed to make it big, and id say without a doubt that edwin has had waaay more influence on bmx style etc than nigel
maybe nigel is just one of those people who takes himself super seriously
