    You obviously haven’t been to that spot, because once you’re out of that grind, you’re going onto the sidewalk… and then right into the river.

  • Seddon

    thats fucking sick

  • nathan w.

  • joe

  • AndyG

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

  • WOW!

    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!

  • Kyle

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

  • Burly. Love that big street shittttt.

  • Tillman

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

    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

    Bump it as well.

  • Tillman

    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.

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

  • Z

    no one’s feeble to over smithing that ledge.

    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.

  • jo

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

  • AndyG

    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.

  • AndyG

    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
