Title: best all round rider ever
Post by: Philbert on January 22, 2010, 10:47 AM: just watched the jay miron section from the macneil vid, and it got me to thinking who really is rated as the best all round rider ever?

obviously it comes down to a matter of opinion but wondered what your thoughts are

i'm sticking with jay myself.

name one rider who rules at them all:

VERT
PARK STREET
REAL STREET
MINI
DIRT
BURLINESS
TECH
STYLE

Post by: SaMAlex on January 22, 2010, 03:13 PM: Its hard finding someone who is great on Vert AND Trails. Not many of them around. Deff the LORD and The Beast got them both down.

UK examples are Jerry Galley or Stuart King

How about current US vert ruler but past trails dog Chad Caggy?

I think Id have to say The BEAST, for being totally amazing on everything!

Post by: Dingobmxer on January 23, 2010, 09:37 PM: sorry to blow this debate out of the water BUT

Dingo
Title: Re: best all round rider ever
Post by: Philbert on January 23, 2010, 10:08 PM: this might sound blasphemous but the inventors generally aren't the best!

look at our national sports teams at how crap they are and we invented most of them

and in our context

bob haro: 5-6 ft air
jay miron: 540 tailwhip at 12 ft (x-games 2kish)
