best bmx'er?
 
i was just wondering who the top bmxer's are and what they specialize in.

i wanted to look up some videos to watch but i wasn't sure who to search for because i don't know anything about bmx.



i saw a trailer once that i really liked. i remember it started off with a guy on a halfpipe rolling slowly, then he just jumps off and does a backflip off onto the ramp. (i THINK that's how it started off). can somebody name that video for me please.

That would most likely be Dave Mirra in the video Sentenced to Life.

scr1be 08-14-06 12:06 PM

ah yes, that's the one.

thanks.

can you recommend a couple more videos that people consider the best and also name me a few top riders.

(so is mirra the best? i hear his name a lot)

Dave Mirra is basically the Tony Hawk of BMX

FitRider 921 08-14-06 12:31 PM

but I wouldn't really say Dave Mirra is the best... everyone is different, so there really is no best.. I would check out the Animal videos (All Day, Can I Eat?) those are some of my favorites and can be conveniently found on google video. As for riders, I'll name my favorites...
edwin delarosa, bob scerbo, eddie cleveland, tyrone williams, corey martinez, matt beringer, tom white, josh stricker, steve hamilton, van homan, lino gonzalez, jared washington, blackman, dave mirra

MadMan2k 08-14-06 09:14 PM

My favorites, more or less in order...
Eddie Cleveland, Edwin DeLarosa, Ian Schwartz, Chase Hawk, Bob Scerbo, Gary Young

The Odyssey video is really good, as are the Animal ones and the Lotek Mixtape.

FitRider 921 08-14-06 09:18 PM

Yeah, I forgot about the Lotek Mixtape. Eddie Cleveland and Bob Scerbo's parts in that are amazing.

I like the way Mike Aitken and Edwin Delarosa ride. I also enjoy Adam Banton. Get a hold of the oddessy video its on Limewire and isohunt.com and suck. Its a good watch

BmxStreetz 08-15-06 01:07 PM

my fav is Edwin Delarosa

FitRider 921 08-15-06 02:53 PM

Yeah, pretty much everyone loves Edwin... although sometimes he is criticized for grinding as much as he does. And I do think Tyrone is very underrated... I really like his style.

Brian 08-15-06 05:50 PM

Perry Kramer, Bob Haro...

Really?? Mat Hoffman was defiontly the first to land a 900 on a bike.

CMcMahon 08-18-06 10:39 AM

I think he's referring to how well-known they are outside of the sport.
