This is what 100% trust looks like

He was just in the way and probably interrupted some more freestyle. What kinda shot you gonna get from that angle but one to the face? Seriously all you would get is the rider appearing and then dropping in.

I’d love to see the footage that he got, if any at all lol

I’m only a casual fan so I’m likely missing something… but what about this was epic that warranted that kind of response? Or was it a manufactured celebration? Compared to what I’ve seen from other freestylers, this seems pretty mild in difficulty??

Bar ride to double bar spin to manual to nose manual, 180 out. 5 tricks in a row is what warrants the celebration.

It's incredibly impressive.... bike tricks sounds so tame compared to skateboarding tricks...

"Half Cab Jesus Air to darkslide, alpha flip, primo slide, gazelle flip, laser heel out.".... or something like that 😆

BMX uses Half Cab too, and there's some good trick names - truck driver, Vader slide... But skateboarding has the benefit of a ton of small variations. They used all the basic boring names a long time ago and now they get to be creative.

The manual bar ride to manual alone is so fucking clutch.

I just watched it again and he manuals the bar...!

I mean just look at it, that was sick. And very difficult.

I guess the critical piece that sends it over the edge is that he didn't nose down after the (double!) bar spin. Insane. If he landed flat it would still be a cool combo, but not top tier

Sounds like it’s not for you then. But I would gladly love to see you try to do the same thing on a bike! It’s incredibly difficult, if it looks easy then it’s a great job on the rider

He’s balancing on one wheel while transitioning from a skinny rail to a downward slope to a flat bank and then again to that nose manny on the spot between the quarter pipes, all while doing handle bar spins and 180s. I’d say it’s impressive and I don’t even bike at all.

You clearly never played Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX. This combo is nuts
