Some of those guys are getting their bikes at 90 degree angles or even more. And then there's me over here getting my bike at a solid 2 degree angle... yeah..
You need to build the right jump and landing with enough hang time really not soo hard. This contest look like some 1986 throwbacks, did someone say tail whip hollar.
Not really but whatever floats your boat. Some people are easily impressed. I been to dew tours, animal jams seen balistic airs, quad whips, 4trick combos, these dh pros would crap their pants to be honest. There are 20"ers that would laugh real hard at contest like this. We used to do whips as warm up on bigger jumps on 20" about 18 years ago. Just keeping it real but enjoy the show.
But this contest isn't about throwing down the biggest trick or fastest run, it's about the biggest whip. Also, bmxers would most likely be pretty scared if they tried to ride a world cup level downhill track
@Joebohobo: Most bmxers would be scared of the prospect of pedalling.....(and by bmxers I mean the annoying ones who think cyclings stupid but bmx is epic)
You guys smoking bad crack or horribly misinformed. If you dont know check out some video from the posh bmx trails and road fools, see what real jumps look like. Bmxers launch turds all over your mtb heros. Sorry to shatter your reality bubble but feel free to get insulted. They hitting bigger jumps no suspension, so what doyou think happen when they get a squishy bike doing all the work? I have alot of respect for pro dhers but N please bmxers common bro they lauch lunatic shit everyday, deadman riding is what they call it. You crash you die! No charge for this eduction.
listen to the man chase hawk himself tell you about moto whips and where that originated. Then watch him do it better and more casual on real jumps with no gloves, helmet, nothin. You guys have alot to learn. Maybe less 29erds and more 20" if you want to really fly. Some people happy on the ground or spectating so do your thing. BTW there were a whole group of bmx riders that would have destroyed that corse and outscored those runs. Scotty Cranmer alone could destroy the whole fmb series no suspension.
It is an intetesting agument but I think if you really met a real mtb pro he would tell you his skills all developed from riding bmx. Every trick mtb and moto x has been jacked off from bmx. Slopestyle is mtb kids acting like bmxers. You guys in way too deep lol. DH is all technology and mental tactics. Bmx is all that without the technology-suspension and still these bmx pros manage to out perform any mtb slope whatever. I seen bullshit street rides with bmx riders throwing down harder than any mtb rider. No cameras no helmet no bullshit. Bmx the real raw riders. Mtb is fun and guess what I been doing both for gazillion years. Have also seen bmx riders pickup a dh bike and blaze the shit off a mountain in two seconds. If you a bad mofo on a bike doesnt matter what size wheel or anything.
i don't really know if you're arguing with yourself or what exactly your trying to say, but i think all of us here can agree that your opinion doesn't really matter.
It matters to you because you mentioning it and getting all sensative haaaaa.
Let me make a real simple comparison for you so even the most close minded noob mtb rider will understand.
Match Sam Pilgrim. Vs Scotty Cranmer- any track anywhere anything any size whatever. Who do you think winning that showdown honestly? Yea right
Here another one lets say your hero Semmenuk VS Dennis Enrson any track any slope any drop whatever, who wins. Yea your mtb guys are badass but they get smoked by these two bmxers I mentioned on any track. You dont understand these bmxers have super human powers. The slope stylists just trying desperately to emulate what they see the big boys of bmx doing. They badass riders in fmb tour but bmx on a whole diff level mtb cant f*ck with at all. They keep progressing every minute with the same bike. Mtb guys have scientists and data queers here try this slope style bike haaaaaaa gethafugouttahee.
Ok hows this one, I have done runs with Gwin, Sam Hill, Steve Peat, I rode street with adam hauk, jeff lynowski, lars tribus and the list goes on and on. I smoked the whole Norco team at Mt Creek. Have also rode with the animal crew, the scavenger crew, Scotty Cranmer, Ryan Guetler. Have you rode with anyone like that? Didnt think so. It was all very impressive and great experience for me but the bmx crews outshined the mtb riders far and beyond. Its not even comparable. The mtb guys go big and do their thing. The bmx guys go just as big on no suspension on concrete and throw 4 trick combos. I can go on for days explain this to you so feel free to keep getting insulted. Loving it haaaaaaaa
alright bud. I like how you just assume the answer is no. I've ridden with all the bmx riders you just listed at woodward except the skavenger team. I've ridden bmx for over ten years, ridden dh for two. You didn't smoke the Norco team. You sound like you could be one of those a*sholes who rides a Brooklyn there that likes to sit on the phantom drop and talk shit about everyone though. Do you ride one?
Actually I own 4 mtbs and one 20" and one cruiser 24" if you want to look down my pants thats going to cost you. The closest you going to get to bmx style is adam hauk and aron chase, maybe lynowski. I rode with all three at the banks, in the street, central park, Mt Creek, Plattekill. Those guys do it big but if you have rode with real ass bmx crews like I have you would understand certain things are not possible on an mtb. The bmx guys blaze you in two seconds. Dont even understand how they boost soo high or do the combos. Thats really what sets them appart. Mtb guys do a trick. Bmx doing 3,4,5 tricks on same jump, and going faster+bigger. I a witness to many a street throwdown you newjacks dont know who you dealing with. Its all good everyone freeriding-how you see the corse. Adam Hauk is a real badass and he up there with alot of the bmx cats. The big name pro bmxers would blow his doors off, keepin real.
Ya run away tender foot. Wait Creek lool phantom drop thats that bichazz drop, honestly I fall asleep riding Creek, that spot is laim. I more into the rough stuff. You can see me at Plattekill Mountain any weekend. Norco team was at Creek 5 years ago when it used to have a good flow. They dont flow like me because thats my backyard. I know every rock on the mountain, they first time there. Sure they going to beat me in a race but freeriding on my terrain, now your in my domain. Results could be in my favor given the thousands of hours I have over them at that spot.
You have problems in brooklyn? I could help you out. My arm is real long. Your on your own at Creek, enjoy the big dropies haaaaa and sitting down at the little house. They have bullshit drops, I hit those on my 20". Come to Plattekill if you want to ride with me. See if you can hang, what you got bro?
Ya that corse sucked but congrats if you won something. I not really a racer boy so you going to have to see the real Plattekill if your riding with me. I think you might have missed couple hundred drops while practicing for the race. I give you the real tour.
Hahaha RodRamsey you are a stain. I dare you to get Matt Walker or Cam johnson to have whip off with your bmx heroes. It'll be funny to watch them going bigger on their 16 kg DH rigs than those tiny 10kg Bmxs. Saying BMX is better because they can pull bigger combos is retarded. I can flat three a bmx but not a slopestyle bike. Everything on a bmx is just easier. Btw doing whips without a helmet does not make you cooler it makes you more of a stain. And don't ever claim mx guys are copying bmx guys. Thats just retarded. BMX stands for bicycle motocross. Mx riders have been attempting what bmxers are doing now for years. It's just harder on a dirt bike. Lastly you look like you have no skill on a bike whatsoever in your photos so unless you miraculously got way better than when they were taken i think you should shutup about how good you are.
I'm a spinner not a flipper in the skatepark. Dirtjumping I do a race style from my bmx racing background but we used to do that trick game like they did on here recently. Pull the trick or you out. I usually make it pretty far, decent amount of tricks but my friends all pro bmxers so they always win. I been bouncing off the walls on any size bike for about 25 years. Raced road, xc,bmx,dh,shot huge canons you name it I try every ride at the park. Tangable dh results haaaa ya I smoke the biggest spliff on the other mountain while race going on. Then hit the biggest chunkiest lines available. I'm a freerider, racing is what I did as a kid. Now would rather ride whatever trail I want. Dont worry you going to see me, might have already rode with me and not even know it. I get around east west south ct ma I got fam everywhere.
Who said those were my photos bloke. Slow your roll wankitude before you catch a big adjustment. You naming names blowing real hard, think your mummy better wash them stains. Tea anyone??????
You guys put the pink in pinkbike. What a good example of why not to get into mtb and ride with snotty little baby bottoms. I spank your bottoms again latter bichez. Get it spank like the bichazz spank mtb parts. Yoo son get some neon purple bars on that pizzashit mtb you riding. Hating on bmx OOooo big mistake boys. Like I said the arms real long. Hating on brooklyn could get you in deep trouble. I'll try an help you out haaaaaaaaaaaaa.
i dont need help with anything, you've been telling me you'll help me out, i don't need it. I feel like your not completely processing what I'm saying. Take it easy on the spliffs brotha.
@RodRamsey are you like rapping or something cos if you are I'm sorry but you're making a fool of yourself. Please just slow down with your shovel and climb out of the hole you've dug.
Out of interest how long was it before 'gwin, hill and peat' were completley out of your sight when you rode with them? Just that if u can keep up with three of the most dominant people mountain biking has ever seen your probably long overdue a world champs jersey. Stop talkin shit about mtb on an mtb website. Unless you just enjoy trolling and threatening people half way round the world to show how 'hard' you are. Oh and continue with the no helmet ethos. You might just do the world a favour. 'Ooooo look at me i can out drop bender on my bmx'. Wanker
Rodramsey, it's obvious you're either stupid or just trolling, but any point you think you have is null by the fact that the moto whip contest is a part of the X-Games. Moto guys go f*cking massive, the world record is almost 4 times the size of the world record on a bmx. Moto sucks at vert terribly, not designed for it, and still has the world record for a quarter pipe, not your pussy ass bmx. Bmx can't even hope to compete with moto. "Whoa this guy just got 30' of air!!", yeah, kids on 80's do that on dirt bikes.
The whip is a staple of riding and that will never change. It doesn't look good on a bmx because those baby bikes are so tiny it takes only a thought to move them around, but when you take something like a dirt bike or a downhill bike that is capable of handling the toughest terrain out there and move it around in the air it looks amazing and takes alot of skill.
Bmx bikes are for kids. They're easily thrown around and they are completely incapable of handling true to life terrain in the dirt. Real riding entails speed and going over natural terrain, not going to some fancy little concrete or wood park made perfectly smooth so children can play on it with their baby bikes. Take a bmx down a dh trail or hit a natural 60' gap through the trees on a bmx bike, then we'll talk. Hell, ride ANYTHING natural on a bmx bike, then we'll talk. While you girly kids are grooming runs to make them smoother, we're building rock gardens to make our runs even rougher than mother nature.
But it's ok, wearing girl pants, riding child sized bikes, and being the most feminine athletes in the world isn't for everyone, you guys certainly have a role to fill.
I send a link right up your ass, hold on its coming. You guys real tight, must have hurt a few sensative feelings or something. Yo I from brooklyn I tell like it is and grew up riding with pro bmxers as my best friends. Thats enough this isnt full discloser so button up go ride hit trick do your shit and keep it moving. If a few comments about bmx riders can hurt you soo deeply what does that say about you twinkle toes? As far as riding dh with those guys they were practicing for a race at my spot so I had home field advantage. Not saying I in their league but yea we did full runs believe that or not dont really matter either way.
Ya I hear you bro. Who would have thought pinkbike full of soo many bmx haters. What is slope style? Bmx tricks on a mountain bike. Hello work with me here. The connection is undeniable bmx paved the way for everything you see on this site. Spending too much time pedalling uphill, when you come down check me out. We go for a street ride.
Rodramsey. Just stop. theres no bmx haters. You insulted downhillers by saying this event was like a 1986 throwback, then try to convince everybody you're right. What do you expect....idiot.
The diff is I give it to you strait like it or love it bichazz little turds. You cant handle the truth so lashing out with wicked keyboard moves. You go boi. Maybe your perspective is too effeminate to understand my philosophy.
''RodRamsey'' I cringed so hard reading your comments, which took a while due to the fucking terrible grammar and overall spelling. Don't compare DH to BMX you clown. That's a lowballing move and it never works because they are fucking worlds apart in terms of difference. Silly retarded street rider. Nobody cares if you rode with Skavenger, stop talking shit on Slopestyle on a Down fucking Hill link. This is the whip offs, not the actual slopestyle event, so go talk shit to those guys you narrow minded fuck. P.s Those Slopestyle fans will relentlessly rip the piss out of you.
Except going "fast" at a skate park is like 20 mph and DH'ers go 3 or 4 times that fast down the side of a mountain, over rocks, roots, and through trees. I'm sorry but BMX is for little kids.
downhilladdict, the world record on a downhill bike is well over 100 mph and the faster tracks on the WC have guys going over 60 mph. There was a video on here awhile ago where they attached a speedometer to the racers and they all went over 60 mph.
DH in Brooklyn? Right... I think you need "hills" first...
Hey, if a bmx'er is from Brooklyn, does he have to steal his girl pants from random women's clothing stores?
Isn't the world record on snow? And I'm pretty sure the riders were clocking in at around 80-90 at the speed trap at pietermaritzburg on the fastest part. Was there a faster track I don't know of?
Yeah the fastest was on snow and it was like 220 kph. Fastest on the dirt was 170 or 180 kph. And I assume you're right about Pietermaritsburg, I honestly can't even remember which track I was watching where they had the speedometers hooked up.
Brendan was good but excluding the nac whip alot of other people were going bigger and smoother. In xgames best whip they dont even count nac whips.Cam johnson bryn dickerson and the other kiwis owned it.
Who was judging that!!! If that last whip won it then I'm going to enter the next contest. There were so many way better whips and stylish riders out there from the short video I saw and I agree to all above, Brendan's nac-nac was awesome
I think the landing does count in this contest... The winner landed it nearly straight in the slope, as Brendon...Well, he flatted out, so i guess his landing was not as clean as expected...
Shut up you keyboard worrior fucks. Apart from brendawgs nack, cam was swinging his way further out than anyone else. The video only showed one of his whips, which in my opinion wasnt one of his better ones - coming from someone who was actually at the event, not just some fat shit behind a computer screen

The equivilant of this conversation

Damn UCI!
