Pastrana can do whatever the heck he want's at his point, if he want's to let people use his ramp who cares. But I for one don't miss best trick, the sport doesn't need Paris Rosens and Kyle Lozas.

Wondered whatever happened to that bike.

Actually, it's probably good that Best Trick is no longer in there. That was the scariest event to shoot. High pressure to perform for the riders, and something akin to a bomb crater and a trip to the hospital when they missed.

No, you're wrong. This video was done with only 3 hours of trials in the foam pit. This guy got skills. He's a pro BMXer, just ggogle it.

That's the truth! He's one of my favorite guys to watch street videos of. There was one video a few years back of him just tearing up Brooklyn when he was brake less. I can't remember if it was a segment in one of the road fools videos or not. My favorite rider though is chase hawk...dude can boost

Why not just do the backflip bar spin that Pastrana failed at. The bike knows it...

He makes it look easy. I'm sure it's safe. Sad

Just out of curiosity, is it pressure to perform from sponsors or is it just a competitive pressure? I have a feeling it's the latter.

Both, X Games is the event sponsors care about the most, just like the riders.

Keyword being BMX bike, I don't doubt the guy has some sort of skills but look at what's happened in the past when random dudes show up at best trick.

What type of front end setup is he using? Like a bicycle in that it allows a full rotation of the entire front assembly.
