The other night I watched an old Props from around 1999. It was really good to see all the riders from then, and all the tricks that they were doing, so many of which aint done now. One of the main things that i got from watching it was how much I love Jay Mirrons riding. He is so good at all types of riding, maybe the best all rounder ever?
Just to remind you, here is his clip from the first Macneil Video (thanks subversion for the link). I bet there are several tricks in there that you aint seen for ages, or maybe have never seen. 4 pegs and 2 brakes! BOOM!
-
yeh man,
miron kills everything,
check the tech nose wheelie shit!
tireslide too :smitten:
-
jays like a god
he pushed everything and deserves a big props from everyone .
-
YES :daumenhoch: the beast indeed rocks, used to ride flat as well & I've heard he's fairly good on vert......
-
:4_17_5:
Watched that the other day and really enjoyed it, Mad style, Master of nose wheelies.
Steve.
-
awesome! such class, smooth and stylish.
IMHO the new guys all look like they're trying to break the bike (with the exception of Rad Billy & the Main Lad)
seeing that made me want to ride :daumenhoch:
-
amazing, why's no one riding like this now, highlight was definately the no footed toothpick grind
-
a truly rad rider (shame he has since stopped riding) and as part of the red bull 3 degrees in cardiff 2004 we took most of the riders out on the lash for the weekend.
the beast did indeed show up after quite a few beers too.
:shocked:
he was loving the doubles shots for 80p and free toast after 2am.....
-
i thought he was riding again denny but not main stream...maybe i heard just a rumour
-
tottally sweet vid :daumenhoch: jays just kickin it! why oh why dont people ride like this anymore.................oh wait, i do ;)
-
i thought he was riding again denny but not main stream...maybe i heard just a rumour
his back is pretty much buggered... paying the price...... he is without a doubt the man..
-
He is the reason I ride a Macneil now.
His section in Madd Matt was awsome, I always remember every landing absolutely stomped :4_17_5:
-
His section in Madd Matt was awsome,
Esp his very close double backflip ..... even tho it was in MATTS section :-X
-
a bmx legend he truly is. he's been there , done it, and earned his stripes. used to love watching x games vert cos jay was so unpredictable you never knew what he would try next. crashed and burned many a time but so exciting to watch. do or die. a tricklist he invented as long as your arm, if he has retired from riding then he most definately earned it.

Top top rider i've always been a fan. Great film too, is that the bullett at ROM half way through? after anlther look I think not, looks very similar though.

Why is that, did Eddie edit that Video? I always took that as something between Matt and Jay, and maybe one of the reasons Jay left Hoffman bikes soon after

It is Rom, it was shot by Ruben in 2002, I was the other side, my footage is here, Jay's on at 5:55 http://video.mpora.com/watch/QtGr6nMz9/ (http://video.mpora.com/watch/QtGr6nMz9/)

Used to love the series on 'Extreme channel' called 20 inch, basically footage from the early nineties with plenty of Mirron action, he ruled :coolsmiley:

yeah eddie did the whole production and editing on the vid. i think eddie just threw it in there cuz it was the end of the video and wanted some crazy stuff for the last min, and snuck 2 or 3 clips of jay in. jay was still on the team when the vid came out,but made an announcement shortly after while on tour he was leaving the team.
nothing between matt and jay................but jay and steve swope....... thats another story.....
here is the story from matts book on the jay controversy,its a bit interesting...basiclly jay flipped out one night and pisst on steve while sleeping,steve got up and jay punched steve in the face.

so is it 'larry' the beast? i remember speaking to 'beast ' on the saturday nite about showing the macneil vid in a niteclub we had for use after the red bull event. ' i dont give a f*** about f***' was his reply. ???
he was pi55ed off after a little trick backfired on him. a mate was showing hitchcox the italian armwrestle- you do it with your arm the wrong way or something and have to pull the arm or something. at the right moment you release and your opponent punches themself in the face. after it was done to hitchcox he wanted to try it on the beast. and boy did he clock himself. got pics somewhere i'll try & find. after 5 mins beast was okay again. he did speak to me later on though as one of the riders from canada i spoke to a lot said i was old school so all was cool.

Miron's section in American Muscle is brill.
-
Let's face it, there is no bad Miron section anywhere :4_17_5:
I remember his 540 whip on vert at some x games just being unbelievable when I heard about it, and the footage was even more so. Such a massive trick - especially on a 40lb monster truck.....
Can be seen on Joe Kid if my memory serves me correctly.
-
i remember him pulling a flip whip at x games , that was the first time i ever see it pulled i was gob smacked.
-
i heard hes a bullying cnut, and hes the reason why mirra left hoffman
-
Those two didn't get on for sure. I would have thought that Dave went to Haro for the opportunity and the salary though. There was a story about them falling out on tour I think?
-
Jay's riding has stood the test of time & is still inspirational today, I watch this every now & again & it never fails to blow me away! As stated above, it makes you wanna go out & shred >:D
-
I drove to Portugal with a friend just to see Jay ride at the Worlds. 3000 miles in a long weekend for that bloke. Ruler :4_17_5:

yeah jay got into a fight with dave too, right when jay was coming onto hoffman and dave was leaving hoffman.
haro offered dave 1500 dollars a month to be on haro. matt said he could match that........barely,at the time. but he didnt want to lose him to haro like that, so matt and dave came up with the idea to tell haro that he was being paid a fictious sum of 2500 a month by hoffman. they didnt think it would work but haro "matched" the salary,so thats how he got on haro. plus the between jay and dave.

Road Fools 5 was on Extreme yesterday, from 2000. Watched it last night, never really seen any Beast footage. What a rider :daumenhoch:
-
a true legend
-
he bought me a pint once. :smitten:
-
There's a Props out there somewhere that shows him riding vert and pulling a super, super smooth 540 on one wall, straight to 900 ont t'other.
You don't see that every day. In fact, I don't think I've seen another one?
-
here's that pic of jay and hitchcox doing the italian armwrestle in a cardiff nightclub in 2004
this is just before hitch let go and jay full on clocked himself in the face. he was not happy.

it was all good again after a few minutes though. :daumenhoch:

Jay Miron is one of the best riders EVER. God he rules/ruled. I hope he gets on a 20" bike again soon.
-
540 double whip, a trick he said he'd pull.
awesome rider
-
I heard rumour that Jay is on tour right now and riding a little bit.... not that he knows how to ride a 'little' bit. haha. It would be cool to see some footy of that sometime.. fingers crossed.
-
they've been doing daily updates on the macneil page, Miron's not on a 20" , and not doing any tricks.
