BMX Factor.


So when i was a little boy, back in 1991, me and my friends rode BMX's, that is what little boys did, we didn't have knives and attitude, we just rode our BMX's and did stunts and things, although i do remember Judge once jumping over a knife on the cricket pitch, so perhaps we did have them.

Anyway, it was recently the BMX Worlds in Cologne in Germany. Just like in most BMX competitions people jumped, span, flared, crashed, flipped, 540ed, tail whipped and all that.

But at the same time there were a bunch of chaps cherrypicking, miami hoppering, hurricaning, boomeranging, balancing and endoing, as they had a 25 year reunion of some of chaps that were around when i was BMXing.

Totally amazing to see all the old styles filmed using today's cinematographic techniques.

Wonderful and brilliant.

Brain Blyther, i still salute you.
