  1. WTF is that in San Jose

  2. wonder wat speed he would be hitting if he didnt have that front brake

  3. would be the easiest feeble ever once you locked in

  4. OMG!

  5. thats fucking sick

  6. i all ready luc-ed it

  7. DAMN rooftop showin all the kids the facts of life. the dude basically pioneered street, like what.. 15yrs ago?

    • are you absolutely insane? street riding has been around for so much longer than 15 years. rooftop definitely did not pioneer street riding.

    • maybe you should go watch some old videos and get a clue you fuck. i didnt say he invented street riding. but alot of the “cool” street tricks were either invented by him or taken to real street obstacles by him. i’ve watched videos older than 15-18yrs and they are garbage. curb endos and 360s on flat and half of the shit was early flatland-esque shit mixed in wearin 80’s spandex. and ya haha nice one with the “andygimp” WOW.. i don’t think you’ve been around longer than 15yrs.

  8. That is amazing!!!!! it baffles me how 12 years old kids still find something pointlessly negative to say. It’s amazing, so nuts.

    ROOFTOP RULES!

  9. hah thats in san jose i think. and if it is then he’s goin straight to the river right after

  10. Burly. Love that big street shittttt.

  11. anyone who doesnt have anything good to say about rooftop should be kicked out of bmx. plain and simple. Such a great rider.

  12. Rad ledge picture,but front brake tapping on big ledges does help a ton. Look at Rick’s section in Standard Cuntry he does all these wild curved feeble ledges and just taps his front brakes the whole way down. Not taking anything away from the trick at hand,just bringing up the old controversy about front brakes and big feebles. Nice to see current rooftop footage though. Im waiting for some ballbag on here to go to the spot and feeble to over smith it and then send in the video of them doing it. with like limb bizkit or some other shit music playing. Rooftop also invented crooked grinds and 360′d a double set of stairs in road fools 4

  13. nice to see a good ol fashioned locked in grind. enough of that half a sec smith to half a sec feb to half a sec luc half a sec barspin to 180 jerky grind. just lock that shit in and style it out!

    • dayday, who are you? i’m interested. ive got this feeling i know you but dont know why.

  14. Hahaha, I thought this would be in Tahiti or the Chatham Islands or some other random ass Rooftopesque location…not San Jose, lol.

    Bump it as well.

  15. the downside grind on the curved bench that rooftop does in nowhere fast is still to this day, one of the most bad ass things ive ever seen.

  16. that ledge got strait violated.

  17. Rooftop has done so much for street riding its ridiculous. I guess maybe you can say he did so much for modern street riding, but he did it so long ago that people really have forgotten. I’m pretty positive he did all that hard 180/alley oop to backwards grind that is becoming popular today. Think he did it like in 95. Doesn’t he basically do a curved wall ride in Dirty Deeds back in 94? I’m not sure who is credited with popularizing them 8 or 9 years back, but he basically does one in that video. He does it and doesn’t even care, its weird. Either way no matter what Rooftop has done a lot for street. Plus he backflipped a helicopter with the blades on.

    • thanks for commenting Jim. some douche wants to say he didn’t help pioneer street riding under an anonymous name. I’m pretty sure that’s just retarded to say. that’s like saying Dave Young wasn’t years ahead of his time either. fuckin kids and their “knowledge” go back to school you idiots

    • school teaches kids old school BMX history now? All public schools do is breed idiots, idiots like yourself

  18. rail to backflip… that is all i have to say about rooftop…

  19. tooth hangover up to 360 double whip off

  20. josh eilken cant touch this nigga
