101 Freestyle Tricks

Looks like someone added a new soundtrack to this video. Eh, I am not posting all of these, the footage if Mike D in part 4 is enough to get me stoked. Super smooth. I could have gone some something other than a Motley Crue remix, maybe more Eric B. and Rakim. Still, nice to see these videos again.

Dale Matson posted a bunch of really good pictures on his Facebook page, and I think most of them can also be found over on his Blog http://midwestfreestyle.weebly.com/index.html Really awesome stuff over there. Somewhere on there is a kick ass picture of Hoffman blasting over Moliterno. So rad.

Good to see some creative riding. That crossbar grind was out of hand. Pun intended.

Kevin Martin

For the longest time, one of the most asked question I had about Trash was what the hell Kevin was doing with that windshield. You'll just have to ask him yourself.

John Yull -- Homeless Trash

Here is John's section from Trash. there are as few little glitches in there. I will need to try and make a better version of it.

Steven Moxley

I probably wouldn't post something like this normally , but that last trick is out of hand. If it helps, watch it with the sound turned down.

Josh White -- Freestylin' Aug 1986

This comes from his interview in Freestylin' magazine August 1986. There is so many rad things about that first picture I can't even describe it. Crap! I need to go ride my bike!

Race day and a new(old) trick.

We went to a slot car track the other day to play with some of the race cars. The little one was so good at it. He had pretty good control and he hardly crashed. I on the other hand was all over the track. He was is the yellow car in case you where wondering.

You know I am laughing because he has now passed me about ten times. 

Had a few little runs on the ramp the other day. I was happy to learn nose picks on the slant wall. They are actually pretty easy and quite fun to do.

Greg Guillotte.

There was always a myth about this guy in Texas. I had heard about him but never really seen him ride. We would hear things about his riding and about how high he was going. I think Eben or The Gute had ridden with him before and they were just blown away. I was never much of a vert guy, I would mess around but other than that riding anything bigger than 7 feet scared me.Even just sitting on top of a vert ramp watching Kevin and Eben blast would give me the he-be-g-b's. (Isn't that in New York?)

Then sometime in '89 when the AFA was the contest series to go to. I think this was my first time I had seen Greg ride. Holy Hell! Full on crank at those little ramps. Smooth as glass. And what I would still consider the best turn down in BMX. I watch this video and still get excited to go ride my bike. And ride it really fast.

All this babble was brought on by a post at Twitter from Jared Souney showing a cover shot of Greg from GO. Brakeless invert somewhere in Texas.

One of the best covers from GO's short life. And one of the best vert riders from back in those AFA days. One of my favorites for sure.
