@jasminov: Rubbish! With respect to other companies in MTB industry - but could you imagine Specialized or Shimano running coverage for world cups or Rampage etc?! Buying a helicopter to use for aerial footage footage, hiring hundreds of personnel to film and organise live footage, time and money gone into creating a live TV channel. Nah. Not any company can do it.

Great vid - but Mr Hutchinson Marketing sounds like he's never ridden a bike in his life, let alone know anything about BMX / MTB...!

@asdas: clearly spoken from a person that has never rode a bmx, let alone the streets. It isn't a cultural thing at all. In my case and most others, street riders are mostly brakeless because there are a lot less opportunities for tricks which required brakes. If you are a serous rider, i.e. not just to be cool, the only other reasons you ride brakeless is that gyros are a pain or you don't want cable wrapped around your stem. That said helmets are different, but I would rarely wear one for a simple jib session. In some edits you see riders wearing one for bigger consequence tricks. If this article was posted on a bmx forum there would be no helmet comments. I think comments come from MTB'ers point of view, where consequences can be more if you compare a 6 stair drop to Rampage...! TL: DR brakeless is not cultural but a choice, wearing helmets is sort of cultural, but depends on risk.

Makes me long for another "one shot" edit, where I can actually focus on his wizardry before the shot changes or some shitty filter comes on.

those crazy frenchies

The stuff Burns sends on a BMX almost puts 203mm riders at Rampage to shame!!

The attention to detail in those trails is incredible, especially the pyramid thingies!

@5afety3rd: and Brayden Barratt-Hay and Josh Hult.

@audric: MX would chew up the lips and landings... Pretty clear in the vid and pics that the jumps need to be mint to be 'safe'.
