Prepare to be stunned - I couldnt sit still or keep quiet while watching this! Pure fookin BMX street PUNK! Even though you've seen his part now, the rest of Anthem II is just as good, go and buy a fookin copy!

I like his bigger chainring and brake approach to bmx, cool fooker. Looks like Lux Interior (The Cramps) on a bmx......cool as fook.

His riding is amazing.

Top rider although later life is going to be a painful affair for him and others like him

All things considered , I would bum him good.

Looks like stunt riding to me, it`s big but it`s ugly, no style imo, plus he should get some pads and a crash helmet

i think thats his style bill, he's built a reputation from it,

gonz did the same back in the 90's with standard,

probs wasnt the first either, wasnt dave slade a bit of a hucker?

billstup · « **Reply #7 on:** January 10, 2011, 10:30 PM »

Just makes me think of Jackass ect, no real skill apart from big balls, no flow just big individual stunts imo

I don`t doubt that he`s a great rider, just that on the video he looks ugly, sorry but if I want to see big with style I`ll watch Jamie on vert, smooth as silk

Big and smooth but completely different, thats vert.
This is pure street! Huge and fast, Just a different discipline. As it happens Burns won the Nora cup nomination for best video in 2008 for his part in Metal Bikes - Dead Bang.

Isnt all freestyle considered stunt riding?

Yes I suppose it is Glen, but there is better looking street riding, Danny MacAskill goes big but does it with style:

I know this isn`t a bmx but it`s still the best street riding I`ve ever seen and it`s got style for miles

Im with you Glen. Balls, power, and dont under estimate the skill needed as well. (eg, that roof to roof wallride!)

Sorry Bill but you can keep your MTB stuff. Cranking full pelt between grave stones is where its AT!

Love it

I totally agree with what Bill says about Sean Burns, I actually thought that section was gonna be better than it is, maybe thats because eveyone had hyped it up though and I knew what to expect?

Big balls and no fear, yes....... skill and style, not in my opinion, sorry

Cheers Paul

hunterdubber · « **Reply #12 on:** January 12, 2011, 11:41 PM »

I was going to buy this anyway , but I just watched most of that , with my gob open catchin' flies

He's cuckoo alright

You cant watch that without cringing in your seat

wtf? that geezer is completely off his fookin head

gobshite · « **Reply #17 on:** January 15, 2011, 02:46 AM »

this is a guy,

dressed like a punk,

jumping off peoples houses,

dead bang was amazing but this section is fooking nuts,

5:19 is amazing, anyone that can look that much of a cnut, in pain, laugh and not give a fook is a hero,

i've watched that danny mcaskill vid many,many times, i've even showed it to non riders as an example of how cool street riding is,
he's a superb bike handler with top notch skills but sean burns is on another level, everything is bigger,

and the grinds, fast harsh and technical,
speed and commitment throughout,

a few of the mcaskill drops were big, even life threatening,
but nearly every one of burns could leave him a paraplegic or worse,

whatever discipline, this is pushing bmx to new levels,

sean burns is a fooking nutcase,

bmx.

A good video section to watch for sure. Not my favourite, but you've got to love him.

One thing is certain, bmx would be fcuked without people like him. Respect

lack of respect for public property

if one of those roof shingles was to get brocken , there would most definitely be an ingress of water

Sean Burns rules.

Everything as fast and as big as possible - he really brings a fooking big smile to BMX.

Anthem II is THE best DVD of 2010. You need it in your life.

Oh, check out Bone Deth Surfing for the Ugly Broads if you want a BIG fix of this type of riding...oh, and Spens in bikinis with machine guns.

FOOKING AWESOME.
