Brian and Gary have ridden all over the world. In this edition of Tech Tips, they kick down some BMX etiquette that will help you get the most out of any spot.
yea, i actually used some of these tips today,,, i ran into Dave Mahoney(pro) ridin 1 off my spots, and ended up in one of his new videos tht will come out within the next two weeks!
It is apparent that many riders have little respect for those (as well as spots) around them, and the truth is they probably don't have much respect for themselves either. I love riding with my long time BMX bros, as well as anyone else on a bike (gives you a great reason to meet new people) But I'd go ride by myself over riding with some prick(s) any day. Ditto to those showing respect for the younger riders. We were all there once!
This reminds me of the time i was at the skatepark and they have a really narrow quarter next to an angle and when i went up the quarter i went up on the right side of it, but i spin to the right, so i knew i wasnt gonna make the spin, so i bailed and my bike launched out and hit this kid that was going up the angle, he fell and almost started crying, so i helped him up, apoligized to him, and bought him a drink ( i think it was an arizona tea). Theres also a kid thats there all the time that does nothing but bitch at people, i came off the vert wall and was gonna 360 the fly but i didnt commit and only made it to 90 degrees, he asked me what the fuck that was and if im gonna hit the fly that i need to do something right. I was so pissed. He needs to watch this video. Wow that was long.
jew boy, you were a little kid once. As long as kids have a bit of an understanding of etiquette they're fine. they just go there to learn to ride. There's this kid tucker that comes to my local park all the time. He's 8 years old and he shreds.
And if little kids are snaking you all the time, talk to them about it without being a dick. Just calmly explain to them the basics of skatepark etiquette. It works 99% of the time.
all you kids like adam and flaw I see you kids talking shit to everyone on vital have some respect for your self.
before you have anything to comment about! Young is man! shralp!
oh and don't be that asshole who one ups kids and copies their tricks. Nothing I hate more than doing a run and seeing some kid do the exact same thing but "harder tricks"
they didnt go into enof detail about snakeing at the skatepark. i hat that so much with kids do never ending trains, and when little kids dont look were they are going and snake everyone in the skatepark.
amen bros. my motto is "You don't build it, you don't rip it!" dont be a dick to locals or guards. dont give us all a bad name guys. EVERY BMXER NEEDS TO WATCH!
The sad part is the people who should be watching this probly not gona see it... They should show the video as a (comercial like levis) at the begingin of their video on vital, just like a lil spot of 15 sec or smthg so everyone can see it.
