most of the riders i know who arent daft appreciate hamdog. look at this thread as well, its just the real young riders who missed out on hammy at his peak who dont understand

my best mate reckons hes like the tom penny of bmx

Yeah i guess he is! I guess that retrospective viewing of bmx doesnt happen for the younger riders (i only started riding three years ago having come from skateboarding, the respect for the pioneers of the sport and the interest in what they did to push the sport carried over from skateboarding's culture). But then bmx still seems 10 years behind skateboarding in terms of culture to me at least, so maybe it will just take some time.

Also, that bike check is awesome but it is slightly annoying they left off the stuff that wasnt animal.

Hamilton is hands down my favourite rider. Any ideas if he will get picked up by someone else? Skateboarding has this culture of revering their heroes and pioneers and bmx seems to sorely miss this.

Put on new grips, shredded a park and a pile of leaves. Did skids down a hill spraying leaves everywhere. Leafy day

Replaced the grips on my spare bike with shadow 13s, softest grip i could find in the shop. Then put some clear pads on the front brake. Took it to the local, did some nosepicks on the bank, failed miserably at nosepicks on quarters, fell off doing can can nosepicks. Good session!

Changed grips and seat on the one, changed bars and put a cassette on the other. Meant to be riding trails tomorrow for the first time, super excited!
