chimpanzyyyy Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 what a nutter after all these years I m still amazed by his power he keeps spinning but when he jumps, he goes quite big! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Was a bit awesome but too long and repetitive for my liking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gu trials Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 loved that video, does anybody know the first song ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 right, compliment sandwich...... I like the scenery. That video was awful. I liked the weather. Ok, enough of being a smart-arse, If he want's to spin like a mad top then he can and to be fair, when it comes to rear wheel spins he is pretty good. I just didn't really understand any of it, most of the shots he had a camelback on, how hard it is to take it off when you're doing something? would look better without it. The music was a bit "dramatic" for my liking. (edit, second song is actually good ) A lot of the moves were repeated (and should have been killed off in the 90s). his style is very "erratic" not really my style, he just seemed to be bouncing about a bit wildly most of the time. So yeah, not really my cup of tea, but he seems to enjoy it, so that's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsieurMonkey Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 So yeah, not really my cup of tea, but he seems to enjoy it, so that's fine. This is going to end up being the standard disclaimer on all posts in the video section now so no-one kicks off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaotic3vil Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I guess he just doesn´t give a f**k how things look like. He just has fun doing all those weird tricks. Still, that video he made in 2005 called "ultimate mod video" will always stay in my mind as one of the most influential of all time for me. I saw it too many times. He's a legend and I would love to get my hands on one of those black 2004 monty ti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurence--Trials Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 I quite like that video, he just looks like hes having alot of fun, which is good to see. Its kinda play-full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 No compliment sandwich here, I'm just gonna say that that video was appalling. Yea, he can spin, but if he put some air in his tyre he'd be able to spin more. Sticking a horrendously missed kerb gap in there? Come on... This video wouldn't have even been cool in the 90's. Simple. Side note: I think my 2 most recent posts in video threads have been one about being amazed by a 'TGS' vid, and this one slagging off a 'BMX spinning shit' video. Who'd have thunked that there could be good and bad in each genre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Immense power moves, but the spinning stuff was far too repetitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.KYDD Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Afew things about that video really annoyed me. Backpack Shinpads Music Repetitiveness, of both moves and scenery However, the segment from 3:19 - 3:35 was sick Still, if i can still shred it that hard when in 32 i'll be stoked!

Greetings Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Know a lot of riders who are 32 and are still really good. Actually thought he was closer to 40. However, that video was just boring. He's an amazing rider, just got carried away with all that spinning. A proper video by him: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endohopper Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 The whole thing comes across as kinda narcissistic but he's got some powerful moves and combos . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see him enjoying every minute of being on the bike, that's what makes his riding appealing to me. It reminds me not too be too serious, but just have a good time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayshell Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) I thought the video was really really awesome. He was the first rider I saw to do all the spin stuff on a mod and got me into mods back in the day. The rear tire spins are fantastic! Biggest spin I have ever seen before him was a 540, he did a 1080. My best ever was a 900. I thought the atmosphere of the video was really nice too. I actually really love his style. Its such a cool kind of flow. It looks fake/out of this world. He will just come to a dead stop then out of nowhere spin a 720 where as most other spinner styles rely heavily on momentum. You got to pay more attention to detail. For example I bet most of you didn't notice the tree he walltapped was over vertical. I think static walltaps are the coolest looking thing ever, it looks like he just shot up the wall for no reason. Find me a better video of someone doing 1080 rear wheel spins and static wall taps on over vertical walls.

Revolver Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 He will just come to a dead stop then out of nowhere spin a 720 where as most other spinner styles rely heavily on momentum. That's called flow, smoothness, preservation of momentum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Absolutly awesome video. Had a good vibe throughout although the music brought it down a bit. The complimentary camelpak - love it! Even more if its still the same one from the 2005 vids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
