Old School BMX 1980 - 1988 > Old School Freestyle (frame stands and kickturns galore!)

Fearless (and brainless) young un at Rom yesterday (15-10-06)

(1/4) > >>

Trev:

Those who were at Rom today witnessed the latest breed in no fear and no pain (and more noticably no sense).

A young 'un continued to ride around the skatepark oblivious to anyone else in the park.  Continuously cutting up people and slamming hard so many times it was unbelievable.  Unless you was there and saw it, you would not believe it.

He must have slammed HARD at least 10-15 times.

He appeared to have no idea what was going to happen when he hit a bowl or ramp.

Wearing a shell suit style top with no t-shirt or anything underneath it, trainers with no laces and knee pads halfway down his shins.

Slams included riding full pelt into the concrete half pipe, but staying on the vert until he stopped and let gravity take it's course. Resulting in bleeding gums.
At least 8 slams in the moguls going over the bars many times.  Mainly carving round until he stopped on a non flat part and once again letting gravity take it's course.
Riding full pelt towards the 1/4 pipe and riding over the side half way up the ramp to concrete face plant. I don't think he thought past the riding off the side part.

It would seem that this kid doesn't quite understand the laws of gravity yet.

However, after every HARD slam, he seemed to get up, oblivious to any sort of pain and carry on his mindless riding.

I think he cut up every single person in the park at one time or another.  Rolled in without looking if anyone else was riding.

Like I say, I have never seen anything like it in my life before, and I think those who were there would be of similar opinion.  A danger to himself and anyone else riding in the park at the same time.

Myself, Rhys R & Jim W (as i'm sure a lot of others were) spent a lot of time watching him in amusement waiting for his next hard slam and we never had to wait that long. It practically became predictable that a slam was imminent.


Those who were there, what do you think?

dirtyvans:
yeah i saw him :LolLolLolLol:

i told him not to sit down riding into the moguls, as he kept falling off

give it a few years and he'll probably be a ripper - no fear :)

dazza:
should have got footage for two reasons , 1, to say i saw this guy when he couldnt ride , when he becomes the best  :4_17_5: and two send the video in and get £250 quid  :LolLolLolLol:, kids know no fear

madall:
The young lad may have had special needs as I have seen a few on the ramps in Nice, they dont have the intelegence to know danger and just try and copy everyone else its a shame as they dont understand fear

jimwise68:
He was as funny as fook.  :crazy2:

No doubt if he sticks at it he will deffo be a ripper when he gets older.

He rode into the deep end of the bullet without even thinking. Faceplanted himself and split his lip and gum, got up had a bit of a winge and was off again. I pulled his bike out of the bullet and the bars were all twisted and pulled back.  :LolLolLolLol:

what a champion.
