We Are Ride On

Whoever said “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” clearly didn’t ride BMX…

Now this kicks a ton of ass! Neil Waddington uploaded this new one called “We Are Ride On” that features a TON of the older guys out crushing it on their bikes, getting down on street spots, skateparks and trails. This video features riders as young as 35 and there’s even a 60 and a couple 50’s in there! This shows that despite a little age, some wear an tear on the bones and joints, that you can enjoy riding BMX far longer than when you’re “just a kid”. If you feel like you’re getting “too old” to ride BMX… Think again! Shout out to every single rider in this!

Here’s a look at what he’s been getting into during his skatepark sessions over in the U.K. This has a ton of lip tricks and plenty of front brake magic. This might be for the older crowd, but damn does it kick ass! Hell yea, Neil!

Jay Miron “Madd Matt” Section (1995)

Leave a Comment

There’s been a few of Jay Miron‘s classic video parts popping up online lately! The other day Jay’s’ “Chasing The View Off The Cliff” section popped up online, so Neil Waddington decided to pull out his old “Madd Matt” section from 1995 for your viewing pleasure. Like all footage from that time, it’s not the best in the world, but damn does the riding make up for it! Jay throws down on a bunch of different ramps like the Secret Ninja Ramp and even a few street spots in this one putting his deep bag of tricks from big airs to technical lip tricks and grinds down rails on both sides. This is a super good watch, so hit play and enjoy!
