If only this kid rode a 26" with a soft fork...... Amazing video though, if you don't like it then there's something wrong with you.

So sick!

I can't wait to start riding again!
Hopefully my old sponsors will still help out.

You can always email them. I've been talking to USB, and they want to put together another team.

He's a Polish guy, and we've been talking about a few things. He might be part of the army I'm raising.

sick rider, I respect 24 rigid street with pegs but seriously just get a bmx

+ 13

suicidedownhiller (May 13, 2011 at 11:26)

Why? 24s are just more comfortable to be on for anyone taller than an 8 yr old..Makes sense to me.

olly-geary (May 14, 2011 at 0:46)

well fair enough, but all his tricks are look so bmx. props to the guy anyway

we-are-138 (May 14, 2011 at 8:35)

I don't get the whole "BMX" mentality. quite literally EVERY trick done on an MTB was taken from BMX. The fact that he's running pegs just means he's expanding the possibilities on his bike. Same reason I run them. You can only do so many jumping tricks off of stairs and ledges so many times before it becomes really old, and everyone else does it. There's nothing wrong with progression.

we-are-138 (May 14, 2011 at 8:37)

I don't understand how your screen name is "ogstreet", but don't have the slightest clue of what street riding is all about.

olly-geary (May 14, 2011 at 8:45)

I know all about street riding, my preferred discipline is street ! I was merely commenting on how I thought he would look more comfortable on a bmx. I understand how someone would want to ride 24 street with pegs because a bmx is too small or they simply just prefer mtb. Street mtb is sick, I would love to try pegs one day, sorry that a looked like a hater, but I'm not, ok ?

we-are-138 (May 14, 2011 at 8:50)

It's cool, I'm just trying to figure out where BMX fits into the equation. Why people have this mentality that when the see pegs on a bike they bring up BMX bikes. It just makes no sense. If people want to ride BMX bikes, then they would.

olly-geary (May 14, 2011 at 8:51)

yeah fair enough, and for the the record you and this rider are sick !

we-are-138 (May 14, 2011 at 8:58)

Look at how the bikes have evolved, and how the riding has progressed. Pegs are just another step in evolution of the sport. You gotta remember, BMX bikes started out with no pegs, and were off road purpose built. They evolved. It may be 20 years late, but our sport is undergoing the same changes.

Thanks for the compliment man.

olly-geary (May 14, 2011 at 9:01)

yeah, good point !

suicidedownhiller (May 14, 2011 at 9:01)

Wow, a reasonable person on pinkbike...Never thought that would happen. What I don't understand, and maybe someone can explain, why would you ever want to run brakeless? I'd think after running into people, poles, cars, and wearing out shoes, and looping out and smacking your head on a manual, you'd want to run a back brake...

we-are-138 (May 14, 2011 at 9:03)

I have no idea. I can't run brakeless, but it's all just preference. I'll never nag on some one for how they set their bike up. It's up to the rider. People get on me a lot because I ride a brake and could run a flag off of my seat post, but that's what feels comfortable to me.

olly-geary (May 14, 2011 at 9:14)

For me brakes are only good for dirt jumps and indoor skate parks, but thats just my personal preference. Its funny I cant foot jam or hop 180 with a brake it just feels weird whereas I can get them dialled when I'm breakless. Breakless is sometimes better, for example if you are going to do a really big gap /drop /jump with breaks you'd get scared (unless your fearless Wink

) and slam them on but if you are breakless you don't have this option and you just do it. But as we-are-138 said, its just personal preference.

suicidedownhiller (May 14, 2011 at 9:17)

Oh, never thought about people needed them to stop themselves from bailing on a drop haha...i've never had that problem...

olly-geary (May 14, 2011 at 9:20)

you should try it some time, It also teaches you how to be smooth

Riddum24killa (May 9, 2012 at 14:22)

Brakeless is the way for me, keeps me on edge and concentrated, I get too lazy with a brake Smile
