I would have to agree Kevin Jones is a legend simply the best flatland rider of my time his tricks were unbelievable I spent hours trying to practice his combos. I am 45 years young and I still ride. “BMX 4 LIFE”
Kevin Jones videos should have 100's thousands of views. This is simply a failure of the whole BMX system that does not/ did not educate future generation BMX'ers. The system is broken.
We should tear down the whole system and restart. I was never keen on the name bmx either. I say that we change the name to cyclostyle as our first task under the new system.
No matter how much you watch. No matter how many times you try to wrap your head around what he does. The sheer brilliance of Kevin Jones is undisputable.
His skill, grace. style, and poetic nature of riding will make him the best and most important flatland rider for all time regardless of the skillful echo-esque chambers of half-packers and spiral rotations found in european, US, and other riders of present day.
Not to knock those other guys with their hopping and bar spins...I would rather watch Kevin Jones with his awesome rolling tricks...The godfather of rolling tricks.
The originator when i was 14 years in the late 80's and into the early 90's i did novice flatland ( i lived around the block from Jay Jones in Edison NJ) at AFA contests in eastern PA him Mark Eaton and their group were the ones who changed the game for good flatland freestyle was never the same after dorkin in york came out everyone was now trying to catch up to Kevin and crew's style of riding , I just remember sitting in awe and countless hours spent watching dorkin just to learn how to do a hang five and whiplashes ... he wasnt the first but when he came out it changed the game!!
Jay Jones, man. Yellow tinted glasses, and “foward Karl Kruisers” with the grip almost scraping. Regardless of who did it first, I saw him do a rope-a-roni thing where he’d crank the pedal by hand.
Mention his name to a young rider, they have no clue! This guy is the OG of modern Flatland, the game would look different if it wasn’t for him and Mark Eaton quitting breakdance and going back to riding, fact!
At 0:17, he grabs the peg. Rider contact points have evolved, and to me it’s interesting. Late-80’s, for dump trucks/death trucks, riders grabbed the forks, not pegs. Also, riders seem grab the bar “bends”, not the full grips. Looks odd to me, but I get that it’s evolutionary.

He changed the flatland game, what they do today started with that guy and progressed into what we see now.
He's the Rodney Mullen of flatland. Everything the new school does has a connection to Kevin.
One of the best in the world!!!!!! Kevin Jones

Key word here is Poetic Nature of riding, could not have been stated better.
