hella new school geo makes our tricks look dumb.

okay they can maybe count if u do em from a straight hop

Don't back down fish, evolve to Gyarados already.

[dude...]

id say its more the fact that not many people have any style anymore that makes things look dumb. people just muscling shit like stevie churchill, getting the tricks done but making them look super stiff and shitty at the same time

can u even freecoaster lol wtf

I almost agree with OP, every fucking edit i watch there's a side on view of the bike and the OSS star or whatever the fuck has their handlebars like 20degree forward. the fuck is with that. i tried it before and all it did was make my dick hurt. i dont understand how people ride this shit.

also despite his riding being dope as fuck, charlie crumlish has the most ugly bike in bmx. its almost worse than a renault megane with the big bum. fucking disgrace.

bmx is gay lol

[Prodigal Son]

Sure is. It sure is.



At any rate, I hope all you are doing excellent tables.

A lot of is lackluster, same style, generic street stuff but... there was a time where everyone was doing unturndowns in girl jeans and 180ing wedges to wedges, which was equally lame.

I think it's like what they say with old music, you remember the good stuff and forget all the bad but I guess with the internet your just forced to see more now than ever.

its alright, girl.

Cool thread, would recommend.

Anyway; I hated the way BMX looked back in the Days. Everything is so much smoother and well done today. I Think of Robbo´s and Castillos manuals and they were just pure boring, looked like they didnt have to make an effort for it (which is probably true). And nose wheelies a while ago was just a slow descent while falling from a nose bonk, not a manual as people are doing now.

That's gross anyway, half of it is just his body twisting

Jason Enns is the man, thus nullifying your opinion of his invert.

You're trippin. Robbo's manuals looked great, especially at high speed.


I think a lot of the awkwardness comes from people riding mega tall bars. Their body position is so upright that if you look at their body only and imagine there's no bike it's like they're riding around on a segway. It looks even worse if the bars are also super wide. I'd bet there wouldn't be much of this if people rode bikes proportional to their size.

On the other hand, some tricks are just naturally awkward looking like nose manuals and tailwhips.

okay, its not really gay fish if you also run 2 brakes/gyro and youre on a vert ramp so fuck off noone even rides vert anyway except maybe jfax
