Must Watch: Paul Genovese Goes Massive in 'My World' - Video

 what kills me is these mongoose riders are killing it on 3k bikes and i spend 2x+ that and cant ride my bike one tenth of their level. great riders can simply ride any bike, and usually just jump on and go whereas old hacks like me worry about every setting and component and never come close to using the bike to its potential.

 @gunslingger: lesson learned then?

 Dude, That is too funny!

 @gunslingger: It's all fun and games until you get one of those cheap ones for yourself, and realize that you need at least 3 of them for a season.

 Putting all my thoughts into a simple sentence. Thank You.

 @b-wicked: Yea dude, you're right. I got myself a cheap bike (GT La Bomba) thinking like "great riders can ride any crap" and... I threw it away and bought Spec p3. Happy owner of a good bike now.

 To give Mongoose the benefit of the doubt, I went to their website. I had no idea they even sold 3k bikes. The specs on them aren't bad, but they are a little off -- what's up with the seat post that looks like a dropper but isn't a dropper? Anyway, they seem to have a decent offering here and there. I couldn't tell you where they sell the good ones, though. If you google Mongoose bikes, the first two things that come up are Walmart and Target. That's what they're battling in terms of reputation. Honestly, that's what all the good BMX companies from when I was a kid are battling. GT, Haro, Mongoose, Redline -- all a shell of what they were. (Although I think Redline still has a slightly better rep these days than the others).

 nic and paul genovese in a nutshell

 Mongoose make it happen!

 it is probably the same spot. i think i saw chewbacca there....

 The fern border on the landing @1:15 is a nice little detail piece!

 I love everything that Semenuk does, and everything about him, he is the best.

 He is actually using a mechanical gyro. Lots of dirt jumpers use one nowadays.

 @MrFriz: Ah, makes sense. So are they mechanical discs or are they using a gyro to pull a hydraulic master cylinder?

 They use a mechanical disk with a gyro typically, but there are hydraulic gyro's too. They are called like trick-stuff trixster gyro's I think.

 Use can use a gyro, but most people just use a super long hydraulic brake hose. The amount of spins/whips you can do in one direction depends on how long a hose you're using.

 Can't tell if hatin' or just misunderstanding of the phrase "dime a dozen." Regardless, should write copy for Gillette Razor commercials.
