Anyone that has rode BMX for at least a little while knows that BMX can be just as much of a mental game as it is a physical game. You can be one of the best riders in the world and still have to convince yourself that you can do something on your bike on any spot or place you might ride. There’s no denying that Rob DiQuattro is no stranger to grinding rails, but this particular clip of him doing a crooked grind is a big reminder that sometimes you have to tell your mind just what’s going on to get things under control and get it done. Take a look!

“Had a bit of a rough summer with injuries, living situation, money and Yogi’s health, but this was a particularly bright moment I experienced with my absolute ace Kid Rembold.”

If you haven’t caught on by now that Rob DiQuattro loves himself some video games, then watch this, then check out a few of his past BMX videos and you’ll definitely understand. Here’s his latest which is a tribute to his late dog, Yogi, who recently passed away. This is filled with amazing riding and plenty of video game references and themes from start to finish. Excellent watch from start to finish! Enjoy!

“One day, I realized that the happiness and joy I have for video games is not dependent upon me playing them. That is to say, if I was unable to play video games anymore, the memories would not vanish alongside. Although perhaps trivial, this helped me realize certain love can never be taken. I feel that same way about Yogi. This video serves to honor the memory of one of the greatest energies I have ever known. I will always love you Yogi.
Thank you to everyone involved. From the thumbnail, to the snes label image, everyone who filmed, drove, or helped take the stress of everyday life away. This video wouldn’t exist without all of you.”
