I wonder what front tyre he doesn't use.

I think it must be like "emergency use only"

I think we need to start a fundraiser for Nico... poor guy obviously can't afford to replace his front tyre so opts not to use it... He's got the potential to be quite good if he did.

Maniac!

Most bikes come with a manual in the box. If you are reading it, you are doing it wrong.

Shotfox15 (Jan 21, 2020 at 4:04)

Alexanderskh (Jan 21, 2020 at 4:11)

That's what helps him to manual!

timmyelle (Jan 22, 2020 at 8:09)

BALLast?

nukedchipp (Jan 21, 2020 at 4:33)

yeah, 27.5 or 29? Doesn't seem to really matter. Do we need front wheels?

Its about time they dropped some ROCK music to the man with the most frequent flyer miles.

mikedegen (Jan 21, 2020 at 4:55)

I really hope he makes more than Vanderpole.

DutchmanPhotos FL (Jan 21, 2020 at 8:22)

I was over at his mom & dad yesterday to pick up some bike parts. They have the raddest son in mountainbiking..!! Haha!!

samdeatley FL (Jan 21, 2020 at 9:46)

It’s so weird to see an evil on pb

chriss78 (Jan 21, 2020 at 12:54)

He may not have the big tricks, but dang. That style, what sleazy style.

HARDERIDE FL (Jan 21, 2020 at 15:14)

He could write the manual on how to manual.

OlSkoolJake (Jan 21, 2020 at 16:54)

This is freeride and it ain't dead!

DepressinglyAscending (Jan 22, 2020 at 4:38)

OG triple Og, till the wheels fall off

romantitus (Jan 21, 2020 at 10:50)

the shaky gopro tho

seismicninja (Jan 21, 2020 at 3:09)

That opening manual lol

oneloosecrank (Jan 21, 2020 at 7:38)

And I thought the manual was just junk that came with your VCR... I might start using them if this is the result!

rockyflowtbay FL (Jan 21, 2020 at 17:11)

Serious air miles!

This MTB stuff is super funny. Any kid who spends prolly a yr riding BMX can 'blast' tabbaggons, and manual around. Within the first week they learned how to skid and turn left and right. If you do that on a MTB, you're pro. Dylan Stark couldn't have come up at a better time.

Are you comparing Nico Vink's skills to any kid with a year of BMX experience? If so, possibly stupidest comment of the year.

@Hogfly: just saying that what is over exposed and propped up in MTB is at times pretty basic stuff, albeit on a over priced bike, which I guess is the point anyway.

So yup I think I am saying that launching off a no-lip jump doing a turn bar, followed by some skids, then a turn then a brake-heavy manual followed by a skid, is pretty basic.

It's cool. BMX went thru the growing pains of 'all flash' and low skill. There's still time for MTB to come around

mkotowski1 (Jan 21, 2020 at 8:10)

@jjwillTOmaui: do you even own a bike?

Just started a GoFundMe to send @jjwillTOmaui to a fest event (only basic skills required) which he will send on his sick BMX!

mkotowski1 (Jan 21, 2020 at 11:39)

@juicebanger: good call! he says mountain biking is easy so fest series should be cake for him

freekstylejim1 FL (Jan 21, 2020 at 15:23)

@jjwillTOmaui I'm not sure here, but maybe these guys are going just a touch faster and hitting bigger features aka moto jumps.
No discredit to the BMX crowd (aside for the lack of a helmet being all too common), they throw some mad tricks, but no one is watching Nico Vink for his barspins/tailwhips. He is not a pro because he can 'blast' a t-bog. He's a pro because people like me absolutely LOVE watching him effortlessly, yet blisteringly, flow down a trail. Whips and t-bogs are a bonus but the manuals are second to none.

Nico is a legend not only because he sends the biggest lines considered feasible by modern standards but in his unique vision for building the sickest lines and dreaming up the best ride events. Perhaps most importantly, he’s ties everything together to make them happen.
