who cares what people say. just let it be.
people need to be nicer to each other and not be jealous of what other people do just focus on making yourself better. just ignore things that dont matter.

Post more videos.

HAHA you kick ass man this whole debate thing has been hularious to watch so thank you since its snowing here it has kept me ammused and i totally agree with you. Peace love BMX!!!

This blog is getting annoying as fuck. You dont update it as much and sure as hell dont post videos that attract people like me anymore. Instead, you write ignorant posts on stupid fucking topics like MTB and fixed gears. I personally despise MTB and fixed gear but I dont give a shit enough to make fun of some people having fun. Its a subculture of a subculture, just like bmx.

Also, good for you that you make so much money, but earn it. Please do your job and start posting some good videos again. I fucking love this site but ever since the new layout, its been shit for me. I come to this site over 20 times a day and there being no new posts upsets me dearly.

So yes Adam, I would love it if you stopped bitching about everything and made this a good site as it was such a short time ago.

this is why bill gates invented the internet

this is going to sound really stupid but wtf is a fixed gear bike? is it just a 24in bike or sumthin, sumbody let me know?

amen. some people take the internet too seriously. I think we have forgotten what its here for… talking shit. one love.

Dude, i just pissed myself laughing at that! You could not have hit the nail on the head anymore perfect than that! Well said, and very good use of analogies to prove it!

DEFO post more videos!!!

type in fixed gear to youtube and you will see!! Its basically a track bike with one speed and you cant stop peddling the thing coz its fixed!!!

you know most of the time i am on your side i even agreed with your blog but when you post shit like this just trying to convince yourself that your a badass with an ego to big for you to handle is really dissapointing can you not be a little humble sometimes and just accept the fact that people enjoy your site and even more people would if you didnt insist on acting like a fucking douche bag so often i mean come on the cat shit is enough to deal with

Adam i really respect that. this post was actually very good and i have to agree with you. I ride mtb street and you are totally right about being secure with what you do. I have fun on my bike and to me that is all that matter’s, fuck what anyone else says.

But more then anything i really just want to know why you feel this way about street mtb? what are your reason’s?

oh and wtf is Adams email btw

Dont be suprised if you wake up to your cats head in your bed………..!…..

no one gives a fuck about you adam…people are just fucken with you and getin a rise out of you..and watchin you make a deal out of it all over your website..get the fuck over it dude..people talk shit..speaking of cleaning the pussies out of bmx..GTFO..trying to act all hard n shit..you aint nothin

Real talk

umm did you create bmx? ummm nooo!! who the fuck are u to decide if other types of riding are fucking with bmx? and why should u give a shit? oh and ur not fucking dave mirra ok. u nibble curbs all day and ur not even good at that. and yes i should get the fuck off ur website and let u have your own opinion… but i just wanted to maybe help you feel a little better. i probably failed but at least i tried

plus your name doesnt mean shit in the bmx world. all you do is post vids of other people on this site. and when u post vids of yourself, no one wants to watch them cause they suck. get over urself cause you aint shit

Thinking you are better because your wheels are smaller is so beyond retarded that I can’t even hope to reason with you.

I ride all types of bikes. I ride BMX for tricks and trails, MTB for singletrack and big drops, and road bikes for transportation.

Honestly, we all share a common love and purposely causing rifts between “factions” of bike riders is just stupid.

Is it so hard to just live and let live? Sure, you have an opinion. Keep it to yourself and just don’t ride a mountain bike. Instead, you take it to the next level and try to incite hate and conflict between people who ride bikes with different size wheels. That shit is the last thing we need. Fuck, man, why are you such a douche? I was stoked that you turned The Come Up around into a half-way decent site but now you come and just spew the hate. I guess it ups your page views so you make more money. Good for you. But seriously, could you be a little more productive and a little less shitty?

i really like tcu is starting to change from posting a whiole bunch of stupid web edits to actual discussion and opinion.

i dig it!
and for the record i love taking back sunday, wear girls jeans, and live with my mom!
haha

Hey man, glad to hear you can understand where I’m coming from. That’s awesome. I’ll do another blog soon about why exactly I’m not into it, I’m surprised I haven’t really gotten to that yet. Also it’s adamgrandmaisonATgmail … thanks.

mountaain stands for MOUNTAIN u douchebag, keep your mtb on the mountain and we will keep our bmxs on the street,

ONE LOVE

My advice is to take 3 deep breaths, drink a beer, re-read the entire blog again and then try to think of a comment better than this one. You seem like you might take life a little too seriously, I would also advise you check with your insurance provider to see if they cover therapy visits.

Thanks Adam looking forward to it and i will send you an email as i would like to hear what you have to say.

About this keep the mountain bikes on the mountains well this is true but the only reason our street mtb bikes are still called mtb’s is because that is what they evolved from. but a rigid, brake less, 26 or 24 bike with slick tires and mostly bmx parts is not meant for the mountains. but anyways thanks Adam

You are retarded. Chill the fuck out and go piss over something else.

The difference is that MTBers generally respect and don’t talk shit on BMXers. You’ve got a weird one-sided hate obsession going on… I wonder where it stems from.

And, I’m glad you came clean on the profit motive.

i wish adam22 would write a complete novel.
i’d buy it solely based on his wording.
no one can touch him because whatever they wanna say they’re too stupid to get it right.
props adam.

As usual I found all the comments really funny.. Just laughed a lot. Thanks for that.

Enjoyed the blog also, especially the part “And my opinion in this case isn’t that BMXers should start brutally attacking people on other types of bicycles at the skatepark” – Maybe this should be happening hahah.

SOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD!

It’s cool that you are 100% BMX 24-7, but a lot of people who look at your blog also ride other bikes. Eventually, they will get sick of you talking shit about stuff you dislike and actually don’t know that much about and stop visiting your site. Maybe you care, maybe you don’t. I just look at this site because it showcases what is going on in BMX, and I will probably continue to do so, and ignore your ignorant whining about “fixed gear freestyle” and your homophobic “that’s gay” comments. This site is good for finding out what’s new without visiting a bunch of sites, and as long as you continue with this sophomoric fixed/MTB is gay shit that’s about all it’s good for. If I want “opinion” I’ll check out SPRFLS or Mystic Negro.

Stating that I make money from the site doesn’t exactly amount to what I think you’re trying to insinuate.

I dare you or anyone else to stop looking at The Come Up. In fact I triple dog dare you.

True Say

This site has had a lot of great videos in the past. I’ve thought Adam has a knack for shifting through the bullshit and finding some good videos. But for someone who is so opinionated about MTB, cats, and other minor things I just don’t understand why you have to change the format into some kind of BMX blog website. People are going to be divided about mountain bikes and shit but leave that on the board. I’ll still come back to the site but the lack of videos and the sudden increase in controversial blogs has me scratching my head.

for real, if this site works that well or has such a popularity, i guess it has a place and Adam has a part to play. Keep on talking/reacting the way you want, it is happening. Any feelings, debates, point of views, integrism! have a place, deal with it!
I don’t like fixed gear slides, or MTB stunts redbull drinking push ups dudes, and they will keep on being kicked out of the ledges skateboarders and Bmx riders grew up on around town. It is culture and notoriety. Like if you belong to jazz music, you wouldn’t like to see that a place you made existing or developped turned into a Dancetechno music invasion!
Difference, repetition, but honesty and fun!

he he he

Mountain Bikes, Road Bikes, and Commuter Bikes can all suck my left nut. I’m not sure why you’d have wear the tightest, gayest looking shit to pedal a couple of miles, but I suppose you’d want to try and look like the biggest faggot, ever. Those fools are pussies, I respect what they do, but when I see some thirty-something at my local park bar-humping every box in the set on some BIG WHEELS because his toy train set is in the paint shop, I laugh my ass off. Last time I checked, big wheels were for kids. Dumb, stupid, faggot kids who shit in the toy box and lie about it to their cracked out mom and drunken, broke ass dad. The Come Up is that real shit. Opinions are like ass-holes, everyone’s got one, and if some mountain bike pussy is gonna cry every time someone makes fun of his ROXSHOX on his long as fuck fork, his life is going to be long and hard. If you check out chiefmag.com and scroll down a bit, you’ll see what I’m talking about. I love you all and BMX forever!

Two words – PUBLICITY STUNT.

“[Hey Mtn Bike dudes, THANKS FOR THE TRAFFIC]” — Adam

To funny.

I say ride what ever you want. Have fun. Hating on roadies is like hating on band geeks, or dorks, or nerds, or non-football players. It might be fun, but eventually that little geek’s going to be your boss.

NEEEERRRRRDDS!

dude i dont care how much u bmx up ur mtb, i ride mtb sometimes but i keep it in its respectable terrain, and i would never, NEVER let it set foot in a skatepark, nor street.

u know what i do apologize for talkin shit about ur ridin. i honestly have not seen any of ur riding videos i really just made that shit up. that was uncalled for and has nothing to do with the topic. so yeah sorry. and yea i have no right to talk shit on anyones riding cause i realize riding isnt about being the best and ur prolly better than most. anyways..i still standing by my thought that there is no reason to hate on what other people do so seriously. and yes i realize the irony in that cause i did the same thing. anyways yea i am a lil banged up in the head and my mom is a nurse with mad benefits. and.. i have taken advantage of some free counseling.. no lie. u know what im just diggin myself deeper.. anyways yea sorry bout talkin shit about ur ridinhg.. and now i def feel better about how you think based on your response…even though that prolly doesnt matter to you. .. im done

NO!!! Don’t youtube it. You will be scarred for life.

I don’t think anyone that anyone is jealous, or hurt by the junk you post. I think it’s funny. I think it might be due to the fact that after they see any action of your riding, they might sit and wonder……WTF? They might think, “This Adam dude rides like this and is gonna talk crap on anyone else’s riding style or their preferences?” I think the proof is in the pudding. No one cares about your opinion or is pissed when you TRY to be funny. I think you might just want to heed your own words and maybe YOU should go ride your bike instead of criticizing anyone else. I mean, dude, have you ever watched yourself ride? Cause bro, you spend A LOT of time watching, critiquing, and criticizing everyone else’s riding, that maybe you should sit back, watch yourself, and then come correct. After watching all the silly ass vids you post trying to give yourself any street credit, you are by far in any position to talk crap. I mean, at least you dress the part. But that’s my opinion. You hurt now? Probably so. That last time I ripped you apart, you banned my ip. We are still laughing about that one. I really must have hurt your feelings. And don’t try to act like I didn’t. I mean, any male over 12 that wears a shirt with a gay ass cat on it, for surely has some homotional problems. Maybe you could ban my ip again for my “opinion” like all the others that have called you out before. I just sounds like you might be a little upset due to the fact that the only ones that give you props, are the 14 year old douche bags you share your mentality with. I mean shoot… if can’t make it in the industry with skills, create a site and talk crap on all the riders that YOU are jealous of. Drop the keyboard and go practice your weak ass feebles on the curb, playa! And one more thing….. Playing with cats is straight homo!

I wouldnt say adam sucks at riding, i kinda of like watching his sketch style

You seriously think that I care what people say about my riding? That is like the absolute least offensive thing you could possibly say about me. What are you going to do next, tell me I’m tall?

Personally, I think that the site’s way radder with Adam doing more than simply posting riding videos and cat pictures…

Man some kid wants to knwo whats wrong with street MTB and MTB all together..They cost a fuckin fortune, they look stupid, barspisn look mad gay, as do whips. And hittin rails ona fuckin MTB is the SCUM OF THE SCUM. Lay off rails, wallrides,and bars and whips, and stick to bouncin on a little log or some shit, just don’t do pedal grinds at my spots.

And PS adams double peg to manual to crook and opp smith 180 outs rule and he got the up rail to cancan ride out that shits legit. Id pick a crook over a triple whip flip anyday.

I disagree with the whole hating different kinds of bikes deal. I mean, c’mon, we’re all just trying to have a good time. it’s like bitching about how someone got drunk…so what if it’s a fruity drink? but it’s your website, do what you want! just know that with great power comes great responsibility…and bmx kids get influenced waaaaay too easily. I don’t wanna see a pack of Nathan Williams clones beating down on a mountain biker any time soon.

maybe more vids would be posted if people quit skootin around and doing all the same hang five tailwhip no hander bullshit. maybe there should be mad articles on how bmx is copying skateboarding. the only thing that should be emulated is the style of filming. menikmati is a perfect example. what happened to the days of nowhere fast and seek and destroy and trash? maybe we should be concentrating on being the true counter culture youth that bmx once stood for. then maybe thatll start weeding out true riders. plus, its not their fault that mtb and cycling is broadcasted more and more. economy’s changing, hell, im even overhauling my mom’s 84 raleigh bc itll be EXERCISE and another mode of transportation. just live and let live and all this shit will pass over in time. the people that will be doing it 5 years from now are doing it for a reason, just like adam said. i laugh when i see girl pants and freecoasters in one combo, but chances are, werent you getting laughed at in 99 for wearing 32 inch jnco’s? everybody’s got their faults and most of the time, its something that most people dont learn when their young; not to be logo whores. so, any dumbass that wants to slide a ledge on a road bike, let em. and mtb that wants half a face on a set of stairs, let em and watch the fun. in the words of mike v- theres people that sit on bench and heckle. and theres the people out on the field. thats the difference; the people talkin and the people doin it.

ps I meant to put some more ass kissing in there…I thought the whole website thing was near dead when myspace came along, and frankly, I was pretty okay with that. but I’m psyched on this!

Is that after you have raped it? lol

I never said Adam sucks at riding. Truthfully, I like to watch him ride as well as everyone else. I watched your vid when you talked about how fun and how much riding meant to you. I gained some respect for you even though I thought you were still a douche bag. If riding is so fun and means as much as you say it does, why do you try and turn so much of it negative? And why get pissed when others turn negative back? It seems you strayed away from what you say riding means to you. I have nothing against Adam. At times I laugh. I love to talk crap too. I am shocked that you didn’t erase my post and ban me again. I have gained even more respect for you. But whatever. You know how it feels when someone try to cut down something you have worked so hard to achieve. Whether it be riding, a website you’ve created, the way you look, a web edit, or what you ride. Just like you pointed out with Catfish. You’ve wiggled your way into the industry, therefore you also have an obligation to try and promote our sport in a positive way. What’s good for the goose must also be good for the gander. I still stand by the cat shirt comment though.

A22 you finally got one right and have described yourself well

“The Vagisil Of BMX”

You right you are

The irratating CU*T of BMX

hai guys, just checkin in to tell u all how awesome i am (once again) and how cool my website is.

peace

a22

Ya i ride down hill sometimes but i do it on a completely different bike then my street mtb. All the parts on my street mtb are made for street and park, even the frame. So thats what i am going to use it for.

The fact is that my street mtb is just a bmx with different geometry for the bigger wheels end of story.

To each there own. If you don’t like something thats all well and good. If you do like something thats all well and good too. When it comes down to it, bmx bikes and mtn bikes are both the same thing, there bikes. Why does there have to be such a feud between the 2? Some ride mtn, some ride bmx. Who cares go out and have fun, I’snt that what there both meant for?

hey ryan, whats wrong with your other one?

jeah ryan, what about the other one?

I find it hilarious that you all are telling him how to run HIS blog. When I say HIS blog, that means it’s his opinions and posts. If you come here for the news, keep it at that. If you want a giggle every now and then read up on his opinions of shit. Personally, I think it’s great. I don’t care for the board, so I stay off of it. So if you dont like what he has to say go gets your news somewhere else. Kudos, A22.

Amen! This is just entertainment and every one needs to look past pushing there views on everyone. Just because the internet started as mosaic and was a learning tool, realize it has grown way past that, and now it is just entertainment! This shit is better than TV!

for real. i look at some of my favorite guys over at fbm, those guys are psyched on all sorts of bikes. it doesnt matter what kind, as long as your having fun.

Ah shoot! Your right man, my bad, please forgive!

Yesterday, while filming at the Embarcadero Center in SF I actually randomly ran into Cory Coffey. (world champion women Freestyler)
She was there with her boy friend who is a professional Juggler.
She was really stoked on SF and might move there.
Cool.

Adam, I’ve always supported the come up. Its a fun website. Kids are always going to hate on what ever is getting popular, this site included.(its pretty stupid.) The only thing I miss is when you took off the anonymous comment feature. I LOVED all the shit talking. lol.

adam update the fucking site you lazy ass. are you really too fucking lazy to post a few videos a day? stop with these shit blog posts and start puting some good content on here again. fuck

Man, Adam has sure got you all riled up hasn’t he. At th end of the day, if you don’t like what he is posting (personal opinion,vids etc) then go somewhere else. For the rest sit back and enjoy the show, which is all it is.

Keep it up Adam, as it makes for amusing reading……

It’s in your moms mouth ; )….In cowboy town.

YES!

I am a homosexual !

A better name would be ATB. All Terrain…
If you can ride EVERYTHING on one bike why wouldn’t you?
Im not down with 26″ in the skate park either, but if I were a kid who only had one bike it would sure as shit be a hardtail with some dem Rock Shockers.

Cz…you fucking gay

its okay guys i figured it out. adam is just really tough. he’s got tattoos, he swears a lot…and he has to hate on stuff he doesn’t like. it’s totally unsurprising that he acts this way so just give him a break. he just needs to make sure everyone knows how tough he is, the same way everyone else did when they were in grade 8.

Well, I agree with most of the article. You are not ruining BMX, you’re just giving your opinion. Although, your opinion is not just your opinion as Adam: it is the opinion of The Come Up, which you are representing. And The Come Up is an influential blog/website/portal/whatever in the BMX community.

This leads us to one conclusion: your opinion as Adam is very influential WHEN posted on The Come Up. It eventually becomes such thanks to the visitors of the site.

And I’m pretty sure that there are a lot of kids who will take your opinion for granted, kids that will hate on MTB street/park/dirt riders a priori before even trying MTB. Or that will simply do what you say just to be in the non-pussy side of BMX, etc.

I’m also pretty sure that you don’t give a damn about anything I wrote here.

Anyway, my point is that being negative will just add another caste of BMXers that think they are not pussies, but that are in fact pussies that can’t find their own way of thinking/living with BMX and are trying to fit in with the cool guys. I’m probably just idealizing too much. Riding is fun. Get out and ride. Whining will get you nowhere.

P.S. It was funny to read the comments under my video (RB Bike Night). All of you were complaining about MTB, while Ben Hennon was really killing it. It’s a SHAME that very little of you have actually commented the riding, at least the BMX one.

Cheers,
Luka

jesus christ! your all talking shit about adam complaining all the time… yet your all the ones talking shit and giving a bmx’er grief over his fucking opinion. It doesnt matter how good he is at riding all that matters is that he loves what he does and we should respect him for that, unlike the kids that ride bmx to try and fit in when infact they arnt interested in it at all.

This website is my fav bmx site and i think blogs like this make it what it is…… its a chance to understand other peoples way of thinking and by the sounds of it…… alot of these riders are hateing the “haters” and are eventually doing what they were originally trying to stop. if you dont like these blogs then dont read them guys, its not rocket sience is it?!?! And i understand how annoying mtb riders can be…. but i ride with mtb park riders just as much as bmx’ers cuz we have a common goal. But i still respect adam’s opinion on them because it doesnt affect me does it? and if a mtb street rider is brakeless and has bmx parts on his bike then tbh i think thats great :) lets just stay cool and have fun riding…no matter who is it with.

i think fixed gears are cool if you are just using them to get around town to get to the local swally spot. but the whole i can do tricks and stuff on them. they probably do need to get find something else to do then taking it in the butt. im jus saying.
