doesn't mean its a good camera, just means it's a quick shutter speed. Helicopter blades turn at 360 rpm, meaning any shutter speed over around 1/250th would freeze them.
to all of u idiots that are saying bmx riders are pussies i would like to see u get on a 26 and tap on something stuck to a helicopter, i ride a 26 park bike but i have a graet deal of respect for those bmx riders who are taking our sport to the next level, so the next time you want to call a bmx rider a pussy think about who started the sport of freestyle, and in response to kinged i would like to see a mountain biker 360 down set of 14 stairs.
this is real , it was on a program called stunt junkies they go around the world setting up huge rigs to find the worlds biggest stunt junkie , the bmx'er had to stall on that piece of wood , but he tire taped it a few before he stallled
wow but i think its photo shopped cause if u really think ur under soooooo much wind that'd it'll totally through u off that'd u'd bail.. so i dont know but ill post it for todays pod on my acc lol
I just watched the video....respect for the rider....and doping it on BMX is even crazier... The wind from the rotor would hold him down but he managed to get the right speed and it needs balls man..big balls to do it. POD for me
yo when i seen this it was a ice pick on that this is a wall tap...the ice picks tounes better....plus u guys gotta learn to stop being lil ass bitches about this bmx/mtb its even MTB is crazy with the slopestyle downhill...no bmx couldnt do thatr.....but also all those MTB street riders u guyd got nothing on bmx park strret...id liek to see u guys 360 backflip tire grab to a 540 tietap back into a quater pipe...that trick was done by scotty cranmer...pce
Not much to add further in what concerns the awsomeness of this photo. BTW : "giveherhell" totally owned, doesnt matter how many bad props you might give, bmxers can school a mtb rider any day.
POD !! that must of been so hard to do because he will of had to get loads of speed to get the height with all that downforce being blown on him from the propellors yet not go to high and be cut into noodles
it can be POD but its looks fake ... maybe it isnt but it looks so...Did you ever stood near landing/hovering heli?... ive had that opportunity many times and the force of the shattered air is very strong,, too strong to do such a trick..
this is a rubbish picture compared to the original on a DC advert i think its allan cooke or someone the original should be pod because it loads better qaulity
this is a litle wierd..i don't konw if someone was near a helicopter when it's in the air..the wind that blows from is's pads is very strong.. if this is not a fake this is the most insane pic on pinkbike..
i understand what u mean but as the heli gets farther away from the ground the stream of air gets less so your not blowed away that easely so it is possible but really hard. nice trick
mountain biking is better than bmx any day, we have a wider range of terrain, better bikes, more guts, just as much skill and there are nicer people in mtbing too, not all bitchy like bmxers.
i'm all about my 26" bikes, but when i want to be seriously impressed i watch bmx vids. if you're trying to diss bmx check yourself before you get schooled. time to bring yourself up to date. think paul b is cool for flipwhips? bmx has had those for years and even DOUBLEflipwhips. how bout double flairs on vert? know any 26'ers with that? didn't think so. time to realize that we look to THEM for new stuff, which they've been doing for years on pavement with no helmets.... why don't you clowns invite some bmx rippers to your dirt jumps, then you can see who the pussy is... i'm not about to go buy a bmx, but i would NEVER diss the sport, only respect it for being EVERY BIT as hardcore, just different. get a life, cause you're the one who's bitchy, and blanket statements about groups of people just makes you look like a dummy. like racists or something. rippers rip and posers suck, nomatter what they ride. get a grip.
well said. i dont know why all the mountain bikers are saying that bmx is gay. people who ride street and djs on a 26" suck compared to them. bmx is pure street/park so they are amazing at it. ive seen just an amateur bmxer at the skatepark backflip 360 the spine transfer like nothin and bust tailwhips. it was more impressive than any mountain bikers riding street that ive ever seen. i got loads of respect for bmxers.
i ride big wheels, and blokes on baby wheels look well silly, but before you start dissing the baby wheelers crack scotty wheeler into youtube and watch his vids. then see whether you can even attempt to think about doing the shit cranmer's pulling on big wheels.
It's all about the terrain. Double flipwhips HAVE been done on mountain bike for your information. If you really wanna compare BMX and MTB, then go to the Black Market site and look at the results from that MTB and BMX dirtjump comp, where both competed in the same category. Wait, who's that in 4th? Cam McCaul, on a fully. I'm not ripping on either sport, I have mad respect for both sides. Nobody rides MTB on vert for one thing, and it's only a matter of time before someone lands a frontflip whip on a mountain bike. Hell, someone almost pulled one of but actually over rotated the tailwhip. The direction freeriding is going now is combing the BMX tricks with Big Mountain terrain, something that can not be done on a BMX.
hey givherhell, this site was kinda supposed 2 be for mtb's so shut up with ur bmx are better shit. bikes are bikes, it dosnt matter what type of bike u ride
there is no way that is fake, some of you guys don't realize how much better bmxers are than mountain bikers. aaron chase or any of those dudes are pussies at street riding compared to a good pro BMX street rider. I'm not saying they don't have balls, it
Let's see any bmxer huck his shit off a 20ft shore drop, Ide love to watch him splat after his 8000 spokes break apart, pussies ide love to see em spin a 360 with some 26's, now there is skill.
hey dont start up a fight, both are great , both are different, and both diserve mad respect, but you got to accept that bmxrs are just plain crazy, and they have true style, their smooth, they have to be smooth, and they wre the first ones, so basicly, we owe them a lot of things, and i think the most important thing is respect, so the next time you see a bmx pic. dont say theyre gay, cause we wouldnt be here witout bmx.
tvsuckrideyourbike, you see bmxers hucking off a 20ft shore drops every day, your freeride pros are all bmxers (darren berecloth, paul B, timo pritzel, cowan, boyko,...), none of them made it big in bmx. They just made the swich and now they are making money. And if you think of it, you woud to if that ment you get payd to ride a bike and travel the world.I love bmx and mtb. But not mtb in skate parks and street. It just look silly. But hey, ride what you want to ride.
jugy youre right about bmxers but riding a well set up 26 in street and park isnt stupid id have a mtb and a bmx but a i dont have the money, so mtb is more versatile i can do what i want
Hmm... Lack of justification, poor use of grammar and spelling, judgemental, nothing intelligent to add. No mate, the get a bmx mob are the big headed ones massaging their egos, every other bmxer and mtber is fine, only you guys who never were clever enough to find yourself in a position of power and who feel that they need to throw around what little weight they have to feel important, are big headed. Seriously, quit it, you are ruining the scene, everyone looks down at people who takes biking seriously, the last thing we all need is a small group of arrogant dickheads pulling the scene to pieces.
If it wasn't for a small group of bmxers being stubborn, fascist arseholes the arguement wouldn't exist at all, you are the one being big-headed mate, along with all of the anti-mtb mob. Put it this way, who started the arguement? Was it giveherhell dissing mtbs??? Heres a little bit of news for you, no-one gives a shit, they're just different bikes! It's the riders who make the difference. Now quit being an internet hard man and actually ride your bike.Oh and btw I absolutely respect bmxers, but not the minority 'get a bmx' terrorists, like you.
You're calling me the internet hard man? That makes perfect sense seeing as I'm the one saying that mtbs are big headed for no reason, I'm the one trying to impose my own opinions on others and telling them to be quiet , I' the one calling someone a dick and telling them to get a dick , I'm the one using appalling spelling and grammar and I'm the one being judgemental and childish. Something appears to be amiss here, I can't quite put my finger on it though...
I have no idea what your idea of acting hard over the internet is but it is clearly somewhat at odds with that of the rest of the world. For example someone acting hard ovr the internet will generally be abusive, add nothing intelligent to a conversation and generally troll. You fit this profile perfectly. Have a nice day.
Mature? Mature? That's rich coming from someone who clearly can't grasp the complexities of the spelling and grammar of his own language. You need to mature a lot, I think anybody can look at this and see who the 'internet hard man' who needs to 'mature a bit' is, and it's probably you. I've got a piece of advice for you: keep your mouth shut and let people think that you are stupid instead of opening it and confirming everybodies thoughts. Happy new year!
Says the one who started an argument over the internet? I have respect for bmx riders, they're sometimes better to watch than mtb. But you cant call anyone big headed when you make remarks like that. We're not big headed though, you're the one acting all cocky as if you're a hard man.
hutchm8 (Dec 28, 2009 at 11:50): bmxs are sik and mtb are soo big headed thats what started it oooo, your harder than me? Just tell me when you get to university
giveherhell (Feb 24, 2006 at 20:30) (Below Threshold) show comment there is no way that is fake, some of you guys don't realize how much better bmxers are than mountain bikers. aaron chase or any of those dudes are pussies at street riding compared to a good pro BMX street rider. I'm not saying they don't have balls, it thts hw it stre with u all slagging bmx off
And most of us said that we respect bmx riders. It's when you start going on about all mountain bikers being big-headed. If every BMX rider was like you theyd be uneducated and talk like a chav, which everyone knows isnt the case.
This is the problem! People like hutchm8 making people think all BMXers are gay chavs! like if I ride to the shop on my BMX people just ignore me but I rode up on my road bike and everyone's really friendly!
bmx is way better it took mountain bikers 6 years to finaly beat a bmxer for the longest jump record and you guys have suspesion we don't and its not all bmxers that r rude ive met some pretty rude mtn bikers it just depends on the persons personality
