James_Porter Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 i have typed so many names and then deleted them, hahaha its like a love letter.i have come to the conclusion that there are far to many riders i look up to in different ways i cant list them all, i know i will forgot someone and they will cry inside.i do believe personality is just as important as skill though... a rider wont make it if he/she has no personality but skill and vica versa obviously, thats what i think anyways... i know i wouldnt sponsor a rider that doesnt know when its time to socalise, and i deffo dont look up to someone who is up there own arse ol.skill wise it has to be the koxx/monty riders, aka...vincy pie, cousts, comas, beleay and ohler are at the forehead of my mind, they are in a class of their own in my opinion....then you have loads of english riders that amaze me and make me go "you cant do that" ali c/nicky g come to mind.then the riders that make riding rad, and push me when we go riding... bessel/wheeler/tunni... and above, to name 2% of them.my my.

boon racoon Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 i look up to anyone having a laugh on their bike (or off it!) and doing their own thing. it makes me realise why i've ridden all these years (even if i've been slacking lately..ahem) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Tunnicliffe Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 People that I look up to: Pauly - Amazing rider, tanks up anything that gets in his way. Pauly's Mother - Really kind, offers food when i go up! sound! Avirl lavigne - Makes me horny! Dave Butler (danny butlers dad) - For making me laugh! Recon thats it Nezza..

Rusevelt Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 (edited) Neil Tunnicliffe: for his ability to monster truck virtually anything. Spode: for shear direction change and throwing down enough flicks and combos for bmx flatlanders to sit up and take notice of trials. i should know for being a former flatlander myself for nearly 10yrs.

eskimo Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Don't really look up to anyone, not the kind of person who 'wants to be as good as him when I'm older'. If anyone, I lookup to the people I ride with as they all have their unique styles of riding and I hope I will as well when my riding becomes more definedThat's what i think now. Even though i have took over my locals with height and distance i still seriously respect them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spode@thinkbikes Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 But, my god does Spode push me, he's such a legend, last sunday, i rode with him in London, he forced me to learn how to roll up objects brakeless (which i managed to get) and forced me to do certain gaps and stuff.Damn straight! You're not improving fast enough for my liking. Gotta get a stick up yo ass.I try and push Rob too. But he just gets annoyed with me and tells me he's learning..... I know he listens really!Neil Tunnicliffe: for his ability to monster truck virtually anything.

Simpson Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 (edited) i dont really care about how people ride much, i love people who even if you meet them for the 1st time will come up say hi, and you can have a quality ride with even if you are at total different levels of riding and can encourage each other and push them without even being in the same leuge as them, like joe hes a legend and will cheer if i do something which is good FOR ME, because he could still do it peice of piss a real sweet heart and down to earth, just like loads of other people on bigger rides, bessel, spode, elding, chai, rob, birdy all the great london lads. For me just making a massive line doesnt get me going particually.....Oh forgot the old school crew, from basildon who probably dont know me.. but got mucho respect for them!
