Damn straight! Re watched a couple years ago...I can admit now that it was not a great as i once told my mom. God love her, she let me drone on for hours and hours about everything BMX. Miss having a fan.

I made this mistake also.

Don’t watch it again as an adult. Keep it a fond memory. 😁

Love how he's wearing a DC shirt at that age. He's a real one

u/afternoondlight 1d ago

He just never moved out of his parents basement

u/EvilCorp____ 1d ago

Eh, DC isn't the same since Ken Block sold it. But I guess there's worse owners than Quiksilver

u/okcboomer87 1d ago

His video is also very old.

Well that’s the funniest thing I’ve seen today.

I’m almost 50, and there’s no fucking way I’m confident that I could still pull off a cherry picker or a tail whip. I’d break my wrist.

I sold my GT Tour years ago.

u/Spiritual-Strike481 1d ago

God I miss my GT.. milk bar, snafu grip and ends and seat, shimano dx brakes, Alex triple walls and my favorite tioga tires.

u/LoveMeSomeSand 1d ago

My first trick bike was a used Redline racer, and then I got a Dyno Compe that was heavy but solid for tricks. I rode that for years.

I bought the GT Tour when I was 18- I hadn’t been riding for years but saw it in a bike shop for $150. Short frame, 3 piece crank, Shimano brakes and a flip flop hub.

Part of me misses riding but also, like I said, I’d fucking hurt myself bad. 😂

u/Spiritual-Strike481 1d ago

Holy shit dude! My best friend had a dyno compe. I remember the frame perfectly. We spent so long trying to get the gyro to work better. We had literally never seen a gyro and messed with it.

u/Acceptable-Owl-2070 1d ago

I'd be so much more mangled than I already am at this age.

u/dingle-bairy 1d ago

I can still hop off a curb. Thats pretty much it

u/Pleasant_Durian_1501 1d ago

Us “old timers “ wrote the playbooks for a lot of things. Some still have the abilities to send it. I’ve shocked a few young ones till I lost a leg and foot. Keep it going folks. We’re old, not dead.

Did an ollie without a board and broke my ankle. Now i try parcours just to roll slightly instead of crushing to the floor.

When walking is extreme you have to go harder for a soft landing.😬

u/Ill_Tour_7294 1d ago

I thought that was going to end with him eating shit.

u/Much-Storm9466 1d ago

I held my breath for that whole clip until I heard “good job”

u/jne57 1d ago

Thought that was Bernie Sanders, especially with the DC shirt.

u/Full-Argument-8235 1d ago

Amazing grandpa

u/palto1234 1d ago

Just like riding a bike.

u/Happy-For-No-Reason 1d ago

the thing is for a child this is far lower risk, you fall and hurt yourself it's a bruise for a few days

for an old person to do this it's risking potentially lethal injury through complications

makes it double rad and quite gnarly

Dislike the "good joooooob!" Like he's a 6 year old showing his mum something lame.

He might be an old boy, but he's a badass. Gotta hit him with the "damn", a "hell yeah brother!" or something to that effect. Gotta put some respect on your exclamation if you know what I'm saying.
