BMX madness

Pretty impressive stuff. I thought it had some nice artistic shots for a BMX video too. Apart from the language, which didn’t offend me at all, the music was great and set a nice mood throughout.

s-s-a, The skate park around 6:00 is Gungahlin not Weston, very similar parks though.

Doctor Evel is right, Cam White is a freestyle BMX pro athlete who lives most of the year in the USA where he competes against the best riders in the world. Last year he won the prestigous five event ‘AST Dew Tour’ http://www.allisports.com .

For the past 3 years when he has been at home during the off season Cam has put back into the sport by staging a charity event at Wamboin. The event attracts international media attention, and this year raised over $16,000 for the Children’s Hospital Foundation. Some of Cam’s jumps are featured in this clip.

I know that Cam is a staunch advocate for the wearing of helmets and takes every opportunity to encourage young riders to wear proper safety equipment – for an example of what can go wrong check this out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3OQndGPrmw ).

To read that and then watch the clip and complain about the language is plain idiotic

VG, this disclaimer was put there after my original post, not before. It might pay to check your facts before you start insulting people.

Does anyone know the title of a mtb trials video that was made around the Geelong beaches area about 5-8y ago? We had a copy and lent it to someone (I’ve forgotten who) and it would be easier to hunt down if I knew what it was called…

> For the last 3 or so years he has hosted a dirt jumping comp on his property to raise money for charities like the Childrens Hospital Foundation.

I took my BMX mad 11yo out to that this year….fantastic day/evening. Well setup & run.

Who the hell is listening to the lyrics?! That was some awesome riding on display there, and slick video skills too. Nice.

Kramer, not sure about some of the other riders, but I think you will find that Cam White is a fully Pro rider, sponsored by Mongoose.

From memory he won the AST Dew Tour last year, one of the biggest action sports tours in the world. When he’s not in the US, he lives out at Wamboin where he has built a huge set of dirt jumps. For the last 3 or so years he has hosted a dirt jumping comp on his property to raise money for charities like the Childrens Hospital Foundation.

s-s-a : Look up “New World Disorder” on You Tube. Plenty of guys going bigger gaps and drops on MTBs. (Not saying these guys aren’t impressive for ameteur, or semi-pro riders)

The skate park around 6:00 is Weston is it not?

Have seen better freestyle footage and action, altho the @#$@#$ing huge setup at the end is tres impressive! These guys are nuts.

The only thing I find offensive is that half the riders seem to be missing their hemlets. [helmet nazi mode off] The riding is pretty good, although I could barely spot any Canberra scenes – Tuggers Skate Park being the only one for me.
