Trey Jones, one of our Central Florida locals.
Also, wear a helmet, kids, and never trespass.
Holy crap.
Sometimes the evolution of skate and BMX videos worries me that one of the big things seems to be higher and higher stakes. And this has some of that, but it also has a bunch of technique I've never seen. The way he gets the bike rotated with the back end to ride tiny, tiny little features like they're half pipes or giant pools. Crazy.
My wristsssss
In reply to Jesse Ransom :
Somehow Trey magically finds the balance between style, technique and high stakes–and with a heavy emphasis on style. He's also rather polite. (His parents are very nice, too.)
I don't know some of those old cardboard lords videos had stuff like that (but also not because those bikes wouldn't have handled it). They were way ahead and that was thirty years ago.
In reply to David S. Wallens :
Did you see the jump he did during the waffle jam best trick? Absolutely LAUNCHED it into the press box.
Theres a lot of local drama about Trey for some reason, and I don't get it. All the dude ever wants to do is ride his bike and go to Disney.
He seems to have made some sort of deal with gravity. Holy crap!

That's whole vid is the definition of Rad!
I tried to do a pseudo wall ride on a piece of jersey barrier last Friday on my mtb. I totally failed, but I think I may be able to pull it off. If I don't maim myself first.

I mean, we have seen him at a Slayer show....
Just got on the computer after a shower having been out street riding for a couple hours this evening and I see this thread. Full moon and no clouds here in S FL so it's a perfect night for street riding. I turned 64 last week, BMX4LIFE.
In reply to 93EXCivic :
Yeah, that one. He's been spotted since then in an arm sling, methinks the crash was a little harder than he would have liked.

Ow.

This is the growing big-wheel BMX gang over here. Fortunately they let me sneak around with them.
In reply to Pete Gossett (Forum Supporter) :
Nice. I still ride my 22-inch S&M and love it.
I have been uploading my bikes to BMX Museum. I need to get the rest up there.
Last thing i need is another bike i dont ride(got 3 already) but man those SE rippers are so cool. And i guess GT released a retro cruiser in 29". Do not need more bikes.
i have a 26" wheel redline monocog from like 2003, marin 29" hardtail and a big box "mongoose" fat bike for kook uses.
In reply to Mndsm :
I think he said that he broke his collarbone.

Scott, 2nd from the right in the pic, is riding one of those. It's sweet!

Anyone pedal grind that perfect rail in the background? Rear wheel stall?

I have a big wheeler, I dig it. I keep thinking about buying a mike buff fast ripper though...because I don't have enough bikes yet.
Danny MacAskill anyone?
In reply to NOT A TA :
Not yet. I did hop up on the end of it last night & rode it a bit before hopping off. I'm still working on my bunnyhop/pedal-up skills with a 32lb bike to be able to get up onto the rear wheel on it.

Alex, 3rd from the left in the pic, was asking me a couple weeks ago what kind of riding I'm into. I told him I'm a really bad Danny MacAskill wannabe.
In reply to Pete Gossett (Forum Supporter) :
Run a little less air pressure in your tires, then a split second before lift off press the bike down to flatten the tires a bit and they'll add a bit of "spring" as you pull up. Pull the front higher than you would for a normal hop up onto the rail because when you hit the brake the rotating mass of the rear wheel will cause the front to drop a bit.
