You know you’re in for a treat when Pete Greaves drops a new BMX video. It’s been a little while since we’ve seen a video from him, but it looks like he’s been working on a trick that will definitely be one we expect to see a ton of kids trying to learn once they see this… Watch as Pete cruises his local DIY spot, then get your first look at a “Schwing!” … Digging the name of this trick, haha.
“This is basically an hastily cobbled together edit to celebrate conquering my nemesis trick. I’ve been trying it on and off for over three years, regularly putting in over an hour a week attempting to nail it. Basically a flatlanderesque level of time dedicated to learning a flatlandesque grind! Also, “learnt” is maybe a bit strong for a trick that I have pulled once in an estimated 10,000 tries…
I’m pretty sure its never been done so I’m calling naming rights. The trick is called a “Schwing” after the sexist groin thrusting motion from Wayne’s Word. Other names that were considered but rejected by the focus groups:
Croque Monsieur
The Hot Stepper
Chaffinch
Trial by Pegs
The Ordeal”
