brule Mod Plus (Oct 30, 2007 at 13:00)

Man this video rips it up in a big way. 7 years ago and the things the crews were doing on their Bullits and Stinkys. Those bikes took the biggest beat downs and yes a few made trips to see the Warranty doctor, but ya'll were pushing the sport-great work!

Hey Radek, it would be really cool if you could make another video re-visiting all the locations in this video, it would be sweet to see how ycling has changed in 8 years!

[Reply]

dhcyc Mod (Oct 30, 2007 at 12:10)

reminds me how we started here, just in the same way, all those walls, drops in the city and the forest (maybe not that big but we kept trying anyway Razz

), first dj hip, can say that times are the most special of all of my riding, untill lets say 2003...very nice vid, especially if you when when it was recorded

[Reply]

flyordie3 (Apr 5, 2008 at 5:16)

the only thing special about this vid is the trials im 13 and i could do all those drops including the school drop if i had a full suspention

rokomah (Oct 30, 2007 at 6:03)

LMAO!!
sick vid btw..those drops are huuge

norco125forlife (Oct 30, 2007 at 9:33)

Man nathan your an idiot
This was all like 7 years ago
and id like to see you go drop a school (thats an easy 12 feet)

dirtbiker327 (Oct 30, 2007 at 9:37)

Thats cause there has been this thing called progression since this video was made. Its not incredible by todays standards but back then that stuff was pretty damn big.

+ 15

craigtwo (Oct 30, 2007 at 13:13)

ever seen a pro bike video from that time frame nathan?.. oh probably not you were still pissing on your self in a craddle. like all sports, equipment evolves, and people push the sport. freeriding is still new at this time. i guess your to spoon feed these days to respect how things became what they are, i hope you don't represent the new generation, get fuct.

freeride5 (Sep 16, 2008 at 20:19)

hey nathan661 if i had a pimped out bike setup excactly as cam mcaul i would just go and hit the first jump in my life and do a back flip tail whip

its the rider not the bike i know guys who can do drops like that on hardtails

urban125 (Nov 21, 2007 at 21:06)

dude you a dumass, i remember when this vid was first posted i thought it was so insane (i was like Cool

i watched it like 200 times just over and over.
and back than it was insane the sport has progressed since than but you have to respect that back than these guys were f*cking amazing!
the lrt stair gap at the end is near my house and i know of only about two people on todays bikes that have hit it.
so shut the f*ck up a*shole.
