Ratboy Archives – BMX UNION

It’s that time of the month for Montana Ricky to do his Rider Spotlight! This time around Ricky has found a hell of a rider that will undoubtably get a bunch of people stoked. We’re not too familiar with Pasha Nikonov, but his riding definitely reminds us of Ratboy, which kicks a TON OF ASS. If you want to check out a rider that’s doing things different, this is the one for you!

“This month’s BMX rider spotlight from Montana Ricky is on the self proclaimed Rocket Manual King from Russia, Pasha Nikonov or Павел Никонов.

For those of you who are new to the channel, every Friday I make a BMX News video and once a month Montana Ricky takes over and films a rider spotlight video like this one. I edit it together and that becomes the news video for the week.” – Brant Moore

Ratboy’s section in the “Shine 3” is still on a whole different level…

It’s always fun looking back on classic BMX videos that were way ahead of the curve. When it comes to riders that were way ahead of their time, there’s no doubt that Ratboy was so far ahead of his times with a crazy mix of combos you just don’t see riders doing, and a ton of style. The way Ratboy could mix rocket manuals and rocket ice grinds with crankflips, barspins, x ups and more was so un real. No freecoaster? No problem… Just jump on the back pegs and you pretty much accomplish the same thing. Hit play and get inspired… BMX can always use riders like Ratboy to really push things in a new direction.
