Adam22’s Top 5 Legends.
by adam on 05/14/09
Robbie Morales, Jon Taylor… Adam Grandmaison? Get your keyboards ready, you better talk some serious shit on this post. Shouts to Ride UK for thinking of me.
And just to get this out of the way, these are 5 of MY biggest inspirations. I know Mat Hoffman invented every trick. I know Ron Wilkerson is more important to BMX’s progression than fucking Ratboy. But from my perspective, having ridden BMX bikes for the last ~11 years, being from a shitty little New England town and only being interested in street, these are some dudes that I consider legends. U mad.

Back to the fact I’m a Mack and you know that
good solid top 5
You shoulda put Adam_22 on all 5. That woulda been the funniest shit EVER. Good choices, though.
Real good choices, I never would have thought of Ralph, but you’re right. the guy has had a huge influence.
Ian Shwartz is wack.
Should have picked steven hamilton
perez hilton
thats a pretty gay stare adams got goin on, just gettin gayer and gayer everyday. should call it THE COME OUT BMX.
“You gonna get raped”

gonz
stevie hamilton
b foster
winkleman
john parker
no order

Lou had some clips in the first Animal video as well.Dude rules.
not a bad top 5 except for ian schwartz. lou rajsich is so sick and i hadn’t even heard of him before today (i had seen photos of the roof gap). his style of dress is similar to james dean. anyway, you mean explicitly not implicitly in the first paragraph. your tattoos imply you were into really bad toughguy hardcore at some point.
like everyone but ratboy. not that i could contain a list to 5 people
That matt kids response is what is wrong with bmx.
If I had to make a list:
1.Rooftop (crooked grinds back in dirty deeds,along with unreal street riding in the early 90’s)
2.Joe Rich from huge airs on 8ft wide 10ft front yard vert ramps,to huge backwards rails in 1998 to 14 foot airs on concrete quarterpipes, Joe Rich Is Bmx.
3.Jay Miron for all the positive things he’s helped shape in the world of bike riding from the Metro Jams,to Inventing half the street tricks you kids sweat today.Plus he’s Canadian and beat up protown USA.
4.Van Homan (no explaination needed) how many nora cups?
5.Dave Parrick (no explaination needed again)
rooftop has never done anything he hasnt seen someone else do before him. FACT
joe rich has been doing the same shit since 1992 and looks down on all of you. he is a real rich kid playing bmx poor.
jay was a nice guy from canada once upon a time, now he hates you all.
Van Homan is truly a nice guy and a Pro.
Dave Parrick rules your mother and you sister, and your father when when he gets drunk.
Lou killed it!Good lookin out man!
you cant just run around getting black people in headlocks. its a hate crime
yeah, but i don’t even have a bike and I’m 25 and looking at this at my job.
good fucking choices except for ian schwartz.
list voided for lack of vic alaya. swap ian out for vic and then squeeze van homan in there. thats whats up then
vic and edwin can both eat a dick. street would be better without them. george d also sucks
what? no rick thorne?!?
…a legend ain’t nothin’ but a car
Hahahahahaha rick thorne what a joke
yeah lou but what ever happened too him?
Lou Rajsich is a badass. Good choice. Shit, all of the old PDXBMX/Blueprint/EBCo era was just awesome.
Ratboy was also a good choice. As weird as he and his style were, you could tell he was having fun.
Hate all this “but so and so should be in there” But I’m amazed that no one has mentioned Dave Young!? Seriously, if Ralph, George and Ratboy were so influential someone needs to give Dirt Reynolds credit where it’s due. Nowhere Fast! Do kids even remember Dave anymore?
this has got to be a fucking joke.
this is some shit to boost site views in a slow week. drive traffic?
ralph sinisi?
rat boy?
you should know your shit better than this.
this is a fucking joke and quite frankly insulting to anyone who actually cared about bike riding before the “video era” which is what this only seems to cover.
not to bash on ralph, but you put him out there… 98% of what I just watched on that Props clip had already been done when Ralph did it, not just the tricks… but the spots, holy shit, the style! I am not even going to drop the name, but why dont you just spit in the motherfuckers face instead of dissing him like that.
but hey, maybe you just dont know.
dont nobody respect nobody anymo…
You should honestly consider executing yourself.
Awesome, a salty old schooler who thinks that his generation isn’t getting enough respect. Grow the fuck up, you have had a good extra decade to do so.
What about me?!?
HA!
What’s lou rajsch’s song?
BRUCE CRISMAN!!!!!
