Thanks so much. I rarely wear gloves. The calluses on my hands are even impressive to the biggest of grease monkeys. haha.

I do wear gloves when I ride my CB's though. I can totally see what you mean by not feeling right.

Cool video, very well done.

You should come to Austin for the X Games next June!

Cheers. Was X-games still in Austin this year? I thought it may be cancelled because of that massive flood. BMX street is no longer in the X-games though. It's only the really mainstream genres like mega ramp, vert, etc. The general public just wants to see how many flips you can do.  :P

There was a teaser clip you had on FB where you didn't quite get the landing over the stairs -- it looked like you hit your head on the pavement and I WINCED just watching it!

Are big bars a thing again now? I remember 10 years ago when I was dabbling in BMX, narrow bars were the thing.

Also nobody runs brakes anymore!

Those tricks are amazing, Jared. 

When I was riding a BMX bike 35 years ago, we had not dreamed up those stunts.  We thought we were cool doing table tops out of a half-pipe.

Haha, yeah. I held my neck up enough but still smacked my head. Ended up puking that night with a bit of a concussion . Still pull the clip after though.

Those tricks are amazing, Jared.

Don, Tabletops are timeless!!!! I really don't have a very exciting style to watch for those who don't really get bmx. No crazy flips and that. Just trying to make simple things look good on weird or had to ride street setups.

That is some killer video!  I really enjoyed watching it.  How long long did it take to shoot and edit that?  It looks amazing.  Stunts were wild too.

I got a Cannon T3i DSLR want to make videos like that.
