Thread: Extreme Sports: Elite Technical Evolution of the Game: The Other Level

I love most "Extreme" sports, especially skateboarding and BMX. I especially like street skating and BMXing.

I always love to watch classic clips or groundbreaking young talent.

BMX'ers have taken the game to "that other level" to quote my man Bushwick Bill. There has been a huge leap, an evolution, in the BMX trickery within the last 10 years. The stuff BMX riders are doing these days is insane. Check this Garret Reynolds clip if you want to see some ridiculous street riding.

Yeh, I rode BMX when I was younger. It is indeed truly ridiculous how much the general skill level has evolved in 10 years. Kids just getting started these days will pull tricks that only the top pros could do 10 years ago. I still have my bike and will probably never sell it for the nostalgia factor alone, but pushing 30 I feel far too old to be riding around skateparks anymore.

I watched the video you linked... the transfer at 2:33 had to be my favorite... never seen anything like that done before, a fullpipe loop on a halfpipe LOL. Very creative. Though I will never understand why somebody would do such huge street tricks without a helmet. I wonder how many rising stars in this sport destroyed their brains.
