How did he look Andy? Watchin that Velodrome vid on YouTube still blows my mind.....
He WAS a god on vert.

I didn't see him ride. I spoke to Xavier today, he is the one who got mike out onto the concrete. Xavier said he was getting 4' with variations. Apparently after Blythers party both Hoffman and Wilkerson sent him bikes.

Sounds cool to me.....someone needs to get some photos!! :daumenhoch:
As far as I know Andy, Damon's in Santa Monica somewhere and he's another one I'm trying to get back on a bike. Maybe if he was to see MD is riding again it would give him a kick up the back end because nothing I've said seems to be working.

Only too happy to add my name to this, it's a damn tragedy that this legend doesnt ride anymore.
Andrew Murray, Wick, Caithness :daumenhoch:
PS - No i'm not the friggin Tennis guy!

I suppose he wasn't bad but MD was the man and you know it!
-

Ok Hunter - you wanna play that game.....

Wilko was/is awesome, but the air Mike D gets is just different class!
Here's Rons run from the same comp....
/>
Guess who won THAT day?
Gotta admit though - Rons Holeshot run is one of the all time great comp runs - ever! What an atmosphere! What energy!
And anyway - this thread isn't about RON!

Hey Okay Mike was MADDDDD
I mean check that 540 canyon :shocked:
but he rides a bike like I do , he waaaaaaaaaaayy sketchy ;D
Where as The Wilko :4_17_5:
Smooth , control and rides out of tricks 99%
Trick inovator ,
Miami drop ins ,picker drop ins , Abubaca,, etc
Sorry I 'll shut up and not spoil your MD worship ;)
Oh and Daz
yeah Mike = BIG AIR 8)
Ron= BIG HAIR :shocked:
:LolLolLolLol:
Seriously though DOMINGUEZ ROCKED BIG TIME
and was a true early BMX freestyle LEGEND :4_17_5:
-
Good man Dubber....you know it makes sense!
I have a lot of respect for RW too, great rider but it was just MD's attacking style that I loved. I like Blyther as well, super high and super smooth but there was just something about Dominguez that rocked!
;)
-
Dominguez, Fooking brilliant !!!!!
-
Dominguez - sketchy? Eh? He just went too big for those AFA ramps!
Check him at the pipeline in '85...
-
Gaz.....having watched that vid thousands of times it's only just occurred to me the 1 hand 1 foot he does in his second run was the opposite way :shocked: never noticed before - the guy rocked big time! He was so far ahead of everyone else at that time it was unreal.
By the way - Pipeline was a scary fooking place! I don't think we realise how deep that bowl was and how much vert it had!
AWESOME!
Daz. :daumenhoch:

I only noticed the opposite air this time too. Must be the first tailtap during his run too!
