January 8, 2018

Paddy Gross coming through with a dialed new video filled with brakes and pegs!

Here’s a really rad one that surfaced online featuring Paddy Gross putting his brakes and pegs to good use from Portland to Germany and a few other places. This also features front brake magic from Adam Banton, Axel Reichertz, Brett Banasiewicz, Clint Millar, Rob Nolli, Dave Freimuth, Chad DeGroot, Nick Harkins, Chris Rye, Tobias Wicke and Rick Moliterno. If that doesn’t sound amazing, then you’re blowing it! This BMX video is packed with amazing ramp riding and a little flatland from start to finish!

“I agreed to this project when it was still a baby. Now a year later it has grown into quite a monster of a video. We have had the honor of collecting original clips from many highly influential and legendary riders from the mid school. Which has made this video such a joy to create. Its like stepping into a time machine and traveling back to the glory days of bmx. Again thank you everyone who had contributed this project. it has been a blast. Enjoy!” – Matt Miller
