Seriously what the fook is wrong with the world? BMXers have been doing amazing things on bicycles for 20+ years. But somehow this Danny guy comes out and does some crazy stuff on his mountain bike and gets 30 million Youtube views, 260 comments and a VW commercial. I’m not hating on Danny, he might be a nice guy and all but it rubs me the wrong way that what he gets all this attention just because he does this shit on a bike that isn’t built for the task. It’d be like if I showed up at the Tour De France on my BMX bike, no brakes, 4 pegs and all, and I finished it. Would it be impressive if I finished the race? Yes. Would it make me cool? No, it’d make me a douchebag who should have just bought a bike suited for the task at hand.

I want to clarify my issue with this since unsurprisingly, many of you were too dense to understand what I meant. I don’t think that Danny is unskilled, he’s obviously very good at what he does, my point is that there are so many BMXers doing stuff similar to what he’s doing here, but better, that aren’t getting credited. Watch this video and tell me that you don’t think Garrett Reynolds could do everything in this video, but bigger, faster and smoother. He could. He could do barspins and tailwhips inserted in most of the tricks too. But because Garrett does his tricks on a little BMX bike and Danny does his on a big goofy mountain bike, Garrett remains a cult hero while Danny gets a VW commercial. If Garrett, Dakota and Sean Burns were all also starring in VW commercials, there wouldn’t be a blog worth writing here and I wouldn’t think there was any injustice going on.

couldn't agree more, can't he afford a BMX? lots of his tricks need breaks I spose....maybe he's more accepted in the big wheel world with brakes, he might get heckled by new school BMXers.  Very skillful nonetheless  8)

I wondered how long the dissing would take  :LolLolLolLol:.

He rides trials. He is fookin ace. The world does not revolve around bmx FFS, I love bikes, I love bmx but its part of something bigger....
