Kids.

Go and check the ride blog (http://www.ridebmxmag.co.uk/blog). They have been putting cool shit up there for a while, but the click the link from Monday's entry for one of the wildest moves I've ever seen. There's "X-games shit" and then there's this. Mirra is the MacDaddy, fair play to the boy.

Reminds me somewhat of freestyle skiing. Bear in mind that none of that is filmed close with a fisheye... he's going ten feet plus off pretty much everything. Oh yeah you might need to download the very latest quicktime to view it, well worth it though.

That's cool but just as a warning NEVER go on the Ridebmx message board - oh my god, 5min of reading some of the posts wants to make you kick the head in of some of the people that post. Special warning goes to the video section of the message board, don't be tempted to watch them they're F-ing terrible.

Mirra can shred. No handed 720 anyone? Don't know if I like the front flip into foam I've seen people go as high or higher not on resi come on Mirra front flip transfer over the whole park. Could someone (Ben) please tell me what that last trick is?? Was there a barspin in there??

As far as I can work out he starts in a perfectly straight no-handend flip then midway just twirls through a 360, sticks the mitts back on the bars and rolls out... doesn't look anything like anyone else's 3-flips though. The traditional 3-flip looks like an off axis 7 most of the time. If he's got triple whips and that bad boy Mirra's still a winner.
