I feel so sorry for your bike, it needs a better rider and needs to stop being crashed every stunt you try
- + 13
the whole point of it is him crashing on purpose to make a film... and yes some of the times are real falls... shouldnt be vod i dont care what anyone says
- + 14
you people who think this is all staged and fake should go make your own movie just like this except stage the falls he had. you just try it. if he was just leaning to ride a bike let alone do dh and trials then no wonder he falls.

wow what a disgrace. you should be on jackass.com not pinkbike.com. congratulations you can drive off boardwalks and ram on your front brake. beside you are wearing full body armour and not even going fast. waste of my life.

if you've disrespected the rider in this video....it doesn't surprise me.....because your reactions just prove my point.....we all crash....but you all have fragile, delicate little egos and can't admit that sometimes....you're not cam mccaul.....this kid.....falls.....as much as any of you.....but has the balls to document it....make a crash video.....and laugh at himself. you should all take lessons....relax a little bit.....if people find out that you're not a pro-level rider......it's not the end of the world....the faceless users that read your comments on pinkbike won't condemn you....and maybe....just maybe.....you may still be able to be.....bare naked with a girl.
ok....thats pushing it.

All you dumb little pricks need to read above the things Goldenizen is saying - he made the video of this rider. It was his first ever summer on a bike, he didn't pussy foot around, he went at things full on so yah, crashes happened. The 'heavy fork' thing is a joke, if you can't figure that out I feel for you in life, you won't make it too far. Like Goldenizen says above, he rips now, I guarantee he would out ride 95% of you shit talking little twats.

How is it people can watch this and not pick up the sarcasm? Relax folks! At least he's trying, and he's just a kid... the title of the vid wasn't "Lacondeguy's day out" or anything. I mean, I'm 28 and if I made a vid of all my crashes in a year it would certainly be longer than that one. Do the rest of you 12 and 13 year old kids flaming this guy really go a whole season without crashing? That's how we learn is it not? Like the Goldenizen dude says "he can do it now" so what's the problem?
- + 9
give the boy some slack.
alright, maybe he isnt a naturally talented mtb'er like some of you,
but at least he is trying, and hes got persistance,
and at the end, you see him doing the bits he couldnt do earlier in the vid, that just shows how much he loves riding really!

yo. you should try ping-pong..
but seriously..none of those wipeouts were that gnar..just some endo's n stuff off of skinnies. been there. If this guy can take that kind of beating....he's gonne keep on givin' er. That was 3 years ago..i bet he shreds now. Dude was only 12. Were not all tom pros's with whistler as a back yard and poppy givin us free access to chairlift trails.
props dude. keep on givin' er.

(he can still ride though it shows in the beginning) he would have never gotten a (VOD) for his riding." but for his heavy fork video he generated lots of attention by looking stupid" plus hes just stupid and hey why is going to stop he got VOD for it thats enough for him to keep being an idiot on his bike and film it for a chance for another popular video. But this kind of riding never going earn my respect (because its a waste of a bike)to just bail on it 24/7 THIS KIDS A JOKE

is it me or are most of the flamers from young teens with no riding pics?
Lighten the f*** up, its a vid of his firstseason riding. yes, he does crash an awful lot, but he was pushing his limits - everyone crashes when pushing it - with balls like that, he could go very far with a little experience
keep up the riding man, never give in

this video shows why people think riding is such a f*cking joke, like riding is never going to get good publicity if all people see on vod is a kid crashing in every clip, i get that its a joke but ya gotta think what people not in the riding community are going to think, they prob arent going to think that riding is cool at all, think about it
- + 0
i agree we dont all have the land to do this and stuff they are trying at less they stick to it i bet most you guys saying you suck are losers ...I was like that with a supercycle i did thing i learnd now im hitting 30 foot gaps still not much but i learned ...They are lucky to have bikes like that so they can progress ...:P so strew you guys that say they suck cuz that was you probably at that age or maybe worst
LOL ..still get a prop through lol- + 0
This is how we learn. We crash and then reflect and say "Wow, I shouldn't do that again!" To become a great rider one must have at least one of every type of crash conceivable because then you have the longest list of what not to do. This kid is well on his way!
- + 0
wow... ... ... that sucked, i'm way better than that and i started near the end of august and i'm a cross country rider, learn to brake before trying this, hafe of that stuff was you braking like a quire

ummm why do you do bother to fall like that on purpose thats a really stupid idea for a movie and its not even funny. because clearly you can ride you are riding in the beginning. and I CANT BELIEVE PEOPLE THINK YOUR GOOD FOR YOUR AGE my friend Aron is 11 and also is three times the rider you are and hes a year younger than you. Now if your actually twelve you should open your goddamn eyes and stop humiliating yourself over the web. you make this whole sport look like a joke. so stop biking like a loser fagot other wise sell your bikes and find another way to look like a joke because BIKING IS AS SERIOUS AS ANY OTHER SPORT. IT AS IMPORTANT AS HOCKEY, FOOTBALL, SOCCER OR ANY OTHER SPORT. and not to many think that way because of idiots like you

i kinda agree with the guy above but just cuz he is being a tool and not pulling up doesn't meen his making us all look bad just him self and any one who says he should stop riding shame bike ridings fun and no one should shut down another fello biker. i know ill prob get - props but thats wat i think
keep it up. and wear protection.
and y do you hit your front brakes after you land it ?- + 0
looks defentily like a fork problem, learn wheelies and proper ollies and buy a new fork dude! thnks 4 making me laf!!

oh god how does he think thats challenging, its just pulling your front brake and smashing your face into the ground
