Posted by: kris on Monday, September 21st, 2009 1:47 pmIm really feeling the mood behind this kids video project…from his vimeo description:
a short track bike film. (Rj)
anybody living near the Los Angeles area and would like to be a part of the film.
contact me via myspace:
myspace.com/71663885
suggestions and help is welcome.
i need people with skill, don’t bother asking if you suck.
also i’m trying to revolve the film around bike Riding.
dont bother to ask if you’re doing bmx tricks on a track bike.
please and thank you.
xoxo Rj.
and the video:
Now im totally down with people being creative, supportive and excited about riding bikes. I dont understand how some random guy from LA can come across so damn pretentious. “If you’re not doing 180 skids or or riding down the street dont talk to me! Skidsies for life!”…because everything else even remotely resembling something done on a BMX bike is just stupid…and not considered riding your bike. Right. Dont get me wrong, i love that people are out riding bikes, having fun and making videos! I dont love shitty attitudes.

i feel so sorry for that kid. if he skid like josh hayes or Phil cheng i would give him some props but, this shit i just feel sorry
kind of super really embarrassed for this team right now… have they not seen MASH?
If this kid isnt doing bmx tricks and its all about riding fixed gear, then why does he have risers? wouldnt you think he’d have some drops or bullhorns or something? i dont know.
all he’s doing is skidding…..
curb endos are bmx tricks.
maybe he should mute the wind blowing in the background and get rid of his risers…
Looks like his saddle is too high. Gives the overall impression that he is not totally comfortable on the bike. Uses swerving side to side and skids to imply comfort and control. Instead, comes off looking tense, slow, and mechanical. Ooooops.
i fell asleep a minute in. the music just does that.
I’m not even into tricks (but do appreciate them) and find this kid embarrassing. If I had the spare time I’d meet up with him and sock him in the eye. Or take my u-lock to his head. I kid I kid.
