Thumbnail photo by Felix PrangenbergRadio Bikes team rider Niklas Tilk has been paving the way for MTB Street Riding for some time now, and with every video he drops, the bar gets raised again and again. His latest video is a testament to just how far Nikals pushes himself on a bike and gets out of his comfort zone. From pegless icepicks down rails to deadman street gaps, Niklas’ riding is pure technical street savagery at it’s finest, regardless of wheel size. Filmed over the past year across the globe, sit back and enjoy Niklas closing out 2022 with one hell of a bang.

Maybe it’s cross country since he’s on a hard tail?
Let the track guys have "BMX" back - which is what it is, bicycle moto cross.
Let the competition trials guys have "Trials" back - what Danny M does is rad but closer to street riding with a few trials techniques thrown in.
-a bmx racer has a "mentality/culture/style" more similar to a mtb downhiller than a bmx freestyler
-a mtb slopestyler is more similar to a bmx freestyler than to a mtb racer (downhill, enduro, four cross ..)
So it is more interesting to divide into racer / freestyler instead of mtber / bmxer:
-racer (bmx racing, downhill, enduro, dual slalom, four cross, pump track, ecc ecc)
-freestyler (bmx street, bmx park, bmx dirt jumping, bmx vert, ecc ecc, mtb street, mtb dirt, mtb slope stlye, mtb freeride like red bull rampage or fest series, ecc ecc)
and obviously a certain person can be part of both categories...
It may seem strange but a boy who ONLY practices street "mtb" is culturally closer to a skateboard than to a "typical average mtb biker"..
It's all pretty rad
F@c#ing amazing old school riding style and editing.
Love it!
awesome riding
