    I'm 42, I remember seeing Nigel riding down at the brooklyn banks. Always looked up to him and had a lot of respect for him. After watching this, that level of respect has shot up to the highest level.

    I'm 45 years old and missed my opportunity long ago. Old school.
    Mirra was a great man and you really were blessed to have that time with him.
    Just picked up a used bike and I look forward to getting back in.
    You're story is amazing. Bless you bro.

    From what you were saying in your film, it gives me the strong impression that you're actually an artist. The bike is your paint and the urban environment is your canvas.
    With that in mind it makes perfect sense that you hang out with people from different industries to the bmx world.

    I feel this guy. I grew up mountain biking, but was embarrassed of my dream to become a game designer, because I lived in a really sport loving town. My mom was just diagnosed with cancer, my dad has a head injury. I still mountain bike when i can, my dream of becoming a DH racer is gone, but all my friends top in the world, wish i could be there but glad im where i am at the same time, glad i can just enjoy biking as a hobby and design games for a living. I would have gone pro, but was addicted to heroin for 8 years, thats life!

    • @LILAJ245
      @LILAJ245 8 лет назад +2

      so crazy but very inspiring i tend to be in the same shoes in a perspective.
      I've always loved DH racing and bmx pretty anything that involves bikes.. as a kid i grew even more into biking because of the games, i use to play a DH game called " Downhill domination" that was the best game of my childhood. it was for me the best of both worlds to have. now I'm a lot older my early 19 years of life but i still can chance this dream but just like you said.. theres always something there or a situation that just didn't let me be that but that is true.. thats life! aim for your goals ASAP never wait!

    Nigel inspired me to start BMX I usually skate but he expanded my mind to try BMX and with seeing him grow up as a little kid dropping in on his first time at the skatepark and over coming his fear
    I can already bunny hop 1 1/2 - 2 ft after 1 weeks of doing BMX
    Also thanks to Nigel I worked all week non stop while I was supposed to be visiting family from the state I use to live in and now I can afford a good bike!

      The race angle was being tossed about by the "community" he lived in. And of course Vice, everything has to have an aggrieved angle. Nigel is a Boss who is doing cool shit. Makin dough and a life riding his bike. Anyone with an issue is less racist (Black or white) and more Jealous.

    _So _*_rad._* I was a Skater (sponsored at one point), but *_always_* looked up to BMXers. I now there's a misconception that we were at war, but that's not the case. We just didn't hang together b/c they're different sports that often utilize different terrain (dirt v concrete) at different speeds (and you couldn't always get a BMXer to pull you around b/c as they correctly said, they did all the work)! But I'll say this: It takes more guts to drop in on a Bike, into a ramp initially meant for Skateboards, than I _ever_ had. And I skated hard for over 35 years.
    *_Mad Respect to all y'all!_*
    Be safe (yeah I know ya hate being told that), and have a blast.
    _Cheers._

      It's even more so when it comes to sports, for instance, how many hockey players do you know who are black? not very many.

    Growing up skating in the 90's and 00's never in my life did I ever see any skater bmx rider or roller blader as a labeled skin tone. Never once did I see a person as being black on a bmx bike or skateboard. I saw people coming together at a place to enjoy what we all enjoyed doing. So sick of this skin color ordeal it's 2016 and we are still talking about this. We are all humans and need to accept that and work together to stop non sense

    yall are tripping he wasnt saying that bmx is a white sport as a criticism but more so the fact that black kids dont grow up gravitating toward bmx but gravitate towards the stereo typical nfl, nba mlb type sports. and because of this when he wanted to do bmx his black peers did not really get it because of that. smh.
