[superbikedan]

saw this dvd last night, fook me bestwick is absolutly amazing and i mean that,

it's all done in slow mo and you watch the distance he covers when he allyoop airs,

he's travelling backwards and sill pulling all his best tricks, so good,

the man is an artist

[lodge]

Yip its good to see with alot of riders these days looking like robots on bikes Bestwicks vert riding looks so effortless he is so dialled.
I am a big fan of Bestwick but I am looking forward to Mirra's return to vert as this man has also got some incredible bike handling skills.

I seen a lot of riders slagging this dvd simply because its a Levis production...

apparently Levis isn't  'Bmx' ... unlike their £2 Primark extra tight girls jeans!!

which i just dont get at all... 

This dvd was just Amazing... EVERYONE knows that!!   

Same thing with Nike 6.0 too... ppl are always slagging em off!!

Ok they're not Bmx companies but i just cannot see how thats a problem!!

wot am i not seeing??

[evamedia]

Nike, it's the SB 6.0 program, you know what that SB stands for don't you. Stop putting us in the same bucket as the plank pushers and I might look at your multi coloured clown shoes, otherwise fook off.

[JT71]

I really fancied some of thsoe nike 6.0s but on the foot they feel nowhere near as good as my DCs.

though I'm current wearing Dyrdek singature DCs which are skate specific, but feel good on and aren't too bulky round the ankle, which means they miss my pegs. lol.

as for Bestwick...he does f***ing rule don't he, can't seem to turn on X channel without seeing him in action.

it's funny that folks hate it when their interest gets real commercial, like Levis doing a video, it;s good for the sport, it gets the sport exposure.

cool vid riley loved it

[jedi]

awesome but bestwick in grounded rules

I think alot of people are still bitter because when the ars* fell out of bmx the first time round the big corporates deserted bmx leaving the riders to run the sport if you like. Many like the close knittedness of rider run companies,comps etc and now bmx is fashionable again they dont think the big boys should get a piece of the action.
As i said before its widely debated and if your interested theres some good links from bicycleunion's site on the subject.
I thought the vid was superb but different from the usual n/s vid, i was interested in peoples comments in the thread i started on it as i thought some would slate it but actually i dont think there was one negative comment.

Have a read of this dave, some of the biggest names in bmx opinions on the subject.

Quite an interesting read!! 


"If Nikes gonna buy their way into BMX there gonna need to invest more than money"  Wise words!!



I remember Adidas sponsoring riders back in the late 80's too...

Dennis McCoy and  Joe Johnson to name a couple

not sure how long Adidas lasted in the sport?? did they not sponsor Haro riders in the mid 90's??
 
I ride with a few riders who are sponsored by Nike 6.0...

They seem to be getting a pretty good deal with them!!

I think it could be great for the sport, more exposure, more interest..

After Bmx racing became a part of the Olympics..

i spoke with many ppl who thought Bmx as a sport didn't exist anymore other than little kids

on bmx bikes out in the street!!!! 

maybe more televised events through Nike & Levis could change the that whole stigma of bmx...

Would it be any different to the 'Tizer' worlds???  Coke a Cola??? Kellogs ( as mentioned ) 

[JT71]

that's  a really good point about the companies back in the day, Kellogs were probably the number one brand in the UK back then, okay, maybe after Coke, but you couldn't watch commercial TV stations without seeing a Cornflakes ad.

Yes, but surely they were the original band wagon jumpers

Yeah for sure, but no one minded back then did they, it got the sport some major exposure, though to be honest it didn't need much help back then did it.

Nice vid but there's not a fooking chance any corporate sponsor would prop up BMX when it falls on hard times again. They see it as nothing more than a ca$h machine. Once it's all used up again they'll pull the rug & won't be seen for dust

It'll be like the good old days all over again! can't wait!

[lodge]

I agree but there's something nice about seeing people like Morgan Wade getting something back.
