Capital BMX – A Call For Action
by Cory on 09/29/09
The salty dudes at Capital have posted a short editorial on the upwards / downwards no-hander debate. I’ll remain neutral and let you guys chime in with your two cents via the comments. Click the photo to read the article and let BMX know what you think (anonymously, of course). Upwards? Downwards? Who even cares? Voice your opinion.
“I’m not sure when it happened, I’m not sure at which point Satan crawled out of hell and atrophied the trapezoidal muscles of every trendy BMX kid out there making it impossible to do anything with their arms but droop them down below their knees but it has left a lasting nightmare in my subconscious. Dangly and nasty, those jetting wrists stab punching me in the soul with every shitty extension. “

Suicides are better than them both anyway
eh ? who gives a fuckin toss
eh ? who gives a fuckin toss .
suicide no handers are for men. discussing if your hands should point up while you do your ugly trick is for ladies. keep old school no handers on dirt or ramps… enough of this down stairs shit.
arms down and hands up, hahaha! one confused individual.
fuck i hate seeing downward nohanders. fucking bullshit.
fuck downward praise the lordddddd nigaaaaaaa
Every single word of that editorial was cumsolutely, dick-blowingly brilliant. Flawless victory.
perfect write up, 100% correct
arms down tucks are the worst thing in bmx since snafu…
straight out, hoffman’s got the right idea. up and down are both gross, straight out son!
arms down look like bow legged tables
its all Nathan William’s fault.
x10000. Ugly ass bastard
Best no hander ever is in the intro to Seek & Destroy, Jarred dips his front down so low and just lets them loose. Sorry but no handers are tricks to be done with landings,not down stairs. Its gross,weird,and half the time eww. If your gonna jump some stairs keep your hands on,or spin the bars.
morgan hill park! eliot.
point them down and grab your feet!
is this trey jones?
Even though I like the guy, Nathan Williams is clearly to blame.
The best thing I’ve read in weeks. 100% correct.
People can do whatever the hell they want on their bikes. Who the fuck are these people to say otherwise?
the trick is a no hander not a touch footer. its wrong. would you consider doing a flatground barspin a trick no. would an unclicked turndown be a trick no. so why should a downward tuck no hander be a trick. the trick is ugly anyway and on top of that some of the people don’t even do them right.
i hate this new trend of hating people who are following a different trend.
Nathan Williams started the trend, but I heard he got into an accident or something as a kid and cant lift his arms up past shoulder height so that’s a pretty legit reason.
Matthew C. Yetter does the best tuck no handers ever
I dont know about straight out…… too Jesus Like for me…
its trendy to hate on trendy tricks, because it makes you trendier than every other trend hating trendster. Get trendy folks.
CLAP YOUR HANDS IF YOU’RE JESUS!
in realty it was ryan sher who started tossing down not the fag williams so get your history right and it dosent fucking matter

article was simply amazing
up and out is ok but tuck downs are so ugly..
beatdown for the retard that wrote it!!!!
dont be jealous cuz u dont have the skill to throw them down.everything else looks like shit
sometimes up looks really retarded if you actually look at it. a little bit above straight out to your side looks best imo, and downward tucks are actual tricks and they dont look half bad so stop bitching. also, nathan williams is the shit
elliot negron is a anti christ
all the little fucks answer “its easier this way”
