hugo6604,forget who but a bmx'er did a double flip whip!!!! almost landed it,just over rotated if i remember correctly.i saw it a while back probably been done now.

Im sorry but thats just lame. biking is becoming more and more of a circus act where style has lost almost all meaning and all people care about is hucking. negative prop me all you fucking want but that doesnt change the truth

i guess the truth is your opinion,id rather watch huge tricks progress with steeze then whips and tables??? kind of tired of that stuff it had its time.
this is bmx anyway they do huge tricks and in most comps all the runs have big tricks with lots of stylish tricks to.
btw if you didnt notice,this video is trick evolution,meaning it is dedicated to big inovative tricks and nothing else. someone has to acknowledge what guys like spinner do. but ya i guess you speak the truth quad tailwhips are prety lame......

Yay! One trick, and he talks about how hard he works.. In my opinion, it just feels like one of those motivational videos, "You can do it! You CAN do it!"
My subjective piece of mind.

Artifact i have to disagree, people still give mega props to awesome style. Comps cant be won on big tricks alone. i think that quad whip was awesome, and he did it with some style. He wasnt flailing or struggling and he landed it clean.
And lets be honest, if you were finding triple tailwhips easy tell me that you wouldnt go for the quad?

well said,exreme sports would start to get boring if it stoped progressing,their would be more people hatiing on comps then likeing them.and theirs is alot of bmx'ers throwing triple whips.
- + 0
well i respect your opinions, but even if i could i would never want to do triple whips, and i personally think contests are dumb. and your right, he wasnt flailing, but i still think it looks bad. but hey thats my opinion
- + 2
lol i want to respect your opinion but i just think its so rediculous what you are typing,no respect. i could repsect you if you said yes i like dh better,or freeride,and style etc,but just blaitatnly saying a trick that big looks ugly and contests are dumb,i dont respect that atall cuz its disrespecting alot of riders and a big chunk of the sport,not just bmx oviosuly but mtb also.
- - 1
haha how the f*ck do i have no respect> because i think a quad whip looks lame? that i think contests are stupid and pointless? i never once said i dont respect the riders. i have respect for them to be able to do a trick like that, but i still think they look ugly and hack.

konad, I think you need a tissue fo dat issueeeeee
Take a chill pill guys. I think it looks ridiculous.

With out these progressions the sport would die a death. I like the trick, its right on the edge of pregression and its pushing the sport forward. It however wont become a staple trick like spins or flips, give it a month and someone will be pulling something else bigger and better.
- + 0
yea, but then you can only go so big, and then its just the same old thing over again, and eventually everything will lead back to stylish tricks and flowy runs because people will be tired of seeing the same old thing over and over again.

I've been at that point for a while now. I'm honestly not that impressed anymore. Progression has now gotten to a point where kids are throwing bunyhop tailwhips, but can't hop on to a pic-nic table or bench. Or even throw a feeble or smith grind for that matter. Have you noticed that 90% of all web vids consist of 180's, 360's, footjams, footjamwhips, basrspins, and tuck nohanders. Usually underneath it is a million comments about how awesome the kid/guy is, and how skilled he is. Then, if you go back and watch the video again, you will notice that any 360 or whip in 1/4 pipes is done below coping, all the footjam whips, and barspins are all done on a very mellow flat bank, etc, etc,etc...... Then go watch a video of some one flowing a park smooth as butter. When you read the comments, it's usually bashing because the guy only did some table tops, and x-ups.
I don't know where I'm going with this, I'm starting to babble on, but Artifact is right, and truthfully, if you pay attention and look closely a lot of tricks from waay back in the day are now the "hot new thing" to be doing.

thank you! finally someone agrees! the same thing is happening in snowboarding these days. you get all these contest kids who can crack a cab 1080 off a huge booter, but cant ride pow worth shit, have bad style and cant ride rails, or kids that get ridiculously tech on street rails, but if you take them to a park, they can barely ride down the hill, let alone hit a jump.

i think you huys need to stop bitching if you dont like it dont coment or make a forum for all the haters so i dont have 100 posts on my page of how gay a quad whip is and the direction fucking snowbaording is going in.

Funny that you have 100 posts on your page about people not liking it, yet you're the only one that does.
I think that pretty much says it all.

True you do get kids who can bust spins and tail whips from small ledges and hops but are shit at riding everything else. Maybe consider the fact that this is what the ride all the time so that is what they are good at. For example Sam Hill is an epically fast downhiller who you would never bet against having a podium place but if he went for a ride with Danny Macskill he would be shit in comparison. Its about what you specialize at, stop worrying about what people cant do and enjoy what people can do.
Or if you want we could go back 20 years when biking was in its infancy, riders rode both XC and downhill on the same rigid bike and tricks didnt exist?

Well grahamc. That was well said, but you missed the point completely, and you have your history wrong, but the intent was good and that much is appreciated.

The conversation had nothing to do with kids who excel at one specific thing. It seems as though you did not actually read the conversation, but rather just skimmed through it.
Biking (nor trick riding) was in it's infancy 20 years ago. I've been riding for 30 years this year and trying tricks as long as I can remember. Thomas Edison was one of the first people documented doing tricks on a bicycle. A lot of them are still done today. Barnum and Baily's circus used cyclists that were doing loops, flips, curved walls, etc. as a sideshow. That was in the late 1900's.
I could write pages of history here, but truthfully anyone with internet access can just go look it up themselves. The sport is much much older than both you and I. You also wrote your last sentence as if you weren't sure.
But like I said, well thought out, just wrong.

"kids are throwing bunyhop tailwhips, but can't hop on to a pic-nic table or bench."
"contest kids who can crack a cab 1080 off a huge booter, but cant ride pow worth shit"
"kids that get ridiculously tech on street rails, but if you take them to a park, they can barely ride down the hill, let alone hit a jump."
I think the conversation did have something to do with kids that excel at one specific thing.
The last sentence was a question not me being unsure of my facts.
On the subject of history I was not referring to circus acts of the 1900's but more to the modern mountain biking and bmx that we know today as a point towards the need for specializing.

Well then maybe your point wasn't as clear as you thought.

bring the negative props, (and sure, i can't get close to a quad whip) but he makes a big deal about whipping a tiny thing that weighs 25lbs. sorry but get a real bike.
