One my favorite riders ^^

[DjBooduh209]

Very nice. Bring back memories of middle school. Nice song too. Hilltop Hoods. gotta love Australian hip hop :)

[Big Spartacus]

That was siiiiiick

[Naked Pimp]

Definitely brought back some memories, but i have to say wasn't quite as techincal as i expected it to be, makes me wish i would have kept some of the old BMX Videos i had from the 80's now those guys were nuts...

[Flatland Funk]

Yea, its super fun. Ive been riding a lil over a year now, but im still in the beginner range haha. Its mad hard. And to the naked pimp, what do u mean technical?

[Naked Pimp]

Like although the tricks were pretty hard to pull off, they weren't as crazy as some of the tricks you would see the flatlanders do back in the early - mid 80's...

But then i guess its the same with skateboarding, you look at the new school tricks compared the the old school from back in the day and you can see a major difference in how much things change...

[Flatland Funk]

Ah, i see what u mean, back in the day it was really technical, but it was also mainly single tricks, like miami hoppers and cherry pickers and such

I flatland! I'm more of an Edwin Delarosa fan though

[Flatland Funk]

Delarosa is badass, i hear doesnt even ride for the fun of it anymore though, just for money and he hates riding =/

[T.B.E.L]

I cant ride in to steams, sorta, i can kick the frame around but i lose balance. Im workin on bw half hikers and just doin g turn peg wheelies and stuff like that. Im also workin on mc circles and and doin bw steam variations

[BlueDog87]

Respect for getting in to that, it looks really hard to pull off. The last part of the video where the guy is wearing yellow is the illest.

[Drebrooklyn]

nice vid..too bad u don't see this as much no nore it's mostly the other aspects of bmx u see often

[SBJmarT]

i've been seeing a lot of kids doing bmx around my way and also rollerskating but mostly skateboarding, still cool to see the shit they do looks hard as hell

Delarosa is badass, i hear doesnt even ride for the fun of it anymore though, just for money and he hates riding =/

ehh its what you heard.. nothing valid in that statment, but i would understand why he would hate riding, after so long.. i even needed a break, ive been riding since 2000, stopped late 2005 and i havent riden since. in the process of getting a new set up soon though, cant wait to ride again honestly.

When you start making some money doing something like riding a bicycle, you think for the future... i mean your body can only take so much abuse, after all those years of [his] riding. Plus to accomplish as much as he has, there really nothin more to prove, i say he can do whatever he wants, ***** paid his dues.. basically halped create the new "street" riding scene along with all the other new york riders. IMO an legend already.

Anyway, I have a friend who still rides flatland and he gets flow from Revenge (from S&M) and hes still pretty good, but havent heard from him in a while though. Probably one of my favorite flat guys though, has to be Jesse Puentes, dude just straight up rips it. I heard he sponsored by The Hundreds, haha.
