Carlo Griggs
steve1275:
if carlo wanted to he could shock alot of people, give him a few months at woodward and i bet he would be up there, but with smoothness and style.
I am local to him and over the years he still pulls it out the bag when he is feeling it.
It does make you wonder where he would be if he had kept competing.
but at the end of the day he is still riding as he is passionate about it. could you say the same for all the X games types if they were not getting paid. ???

I agree, the top UK guys from BITD were the Radest and Badest dont care if there are only a few of us think so , I met Carlo at Goodwood back in 85-86 when he was doing a skyway Demo with The Campbells,Canning etc and he was getting higher air back then than Campbell, Canning and it was off one of those Bernie Vincent Pipes which were shite to say the least.The Yanks were not getting the air he was and also he was about 13 at the time so I recon if he and the other top UK guys had continued there would be no Mirra's and Bestwicks leading the x-games.
PS I recon I will get slated from the younger gen who never had the privelage of watching those guys ride
jeff spicoli:
Carlo is better than Tabron easy and could give Bestwick a run for his money.Fact
ligbee:
There really is'nt an argument here, old school has miles more style which Carlo is more than demonstrating in the pics. Forget all this tail whip air nonsense, just look at that step thru.

theRuler:
the tailwhip air was first done in 85.
new school riding has more tech, but watch any props road fools vid and you will see some proper style.
true style has always been apparent, throughout the years. the only thing that changed is the clothing and bikes
