Here’s a proper Throwback Thursday for you! Karl Hinkey’s “Aspire Round 2” section just surfaced online…

Anyone who has been riding BMX for around 15 years knows about the old Aspire video contests. Riders from all over would submit video parts and the best ones would be picked for the full-length video (Pretty sure it was only on VHS at this time) that came from it. Karl Hinkley ended up with his section he submitted that hasn’t been online, so he uploaded it and it’s a serious throwback that is so awesome to watch. Not only is this packed with a ton of riding we just don’t see anymore, it leaves you guessing what’s coming next from start to finish. We’re pretty sure Karl still does a bunch of these tricks in this video, too! That’s not a bad thing! Enjoy!

“Here’s my edit I submitted for the round 2 Aspire video contact in 2004. Had a blast filming it and a big shout out to Jim Reinstra for finding the old DV mini tape over 15 years later and mailing it to me so I could watch it again.” – Karl Hinkley
