Jay Miron In The First Macneil Video.


Somewhere in between being a household BMX name as a vert riding, ESPN hating, Schwinn-representing Canadian and becoming a non-riding, vegetarian, mostly-Straight Edge company owner, Jay Miron managed to put together this savage opus of a video part. Last trick might be the most ridiculous rail move ever.

    Thats one of the best sections ever, point blank period, I never saw that until now.

    When and why did Jay stop riding???

  • Robbo

    Awesome,been a while since i’ve watched the beast in action…prosume the company takes up all his time these days. Wheres the huge nose manual down the kinked ledge at..that was class! The one that John Heaton manauled if anyones wondering wtf i’m on about…

    ya he does the nose man in the credits of this vid I think. so crazy. man I fuckin loved that part. the beast is fucking awesome. seeing the dude ride in person is unbelievable

  • DrifterDave

    gap to opposite doublepeg was unreal! Sooooo burltech…LEGENDARY SHREDDER

  • ddddddddd

    never really become a fan untill now, we need more people that rid like that, none of that trend follower stuff.
    im not sure when he quit riding i think in 2001? but i think im wrong. but he quit because he said hes just to old, and he always goes crazy and gets wrecked and he didnt want to do that anymore, and wanted to respect his body more, so he just quit all together.

  • Jizmo

  • ryan

    i never appreciated his section as much as i should have when this video came out

  • http://Messymarvin.com Messy Marvin

    This fucker don’t even ride anymore. Mcneil isn’t a “rider” owned company anymore. It’s a “I used to ride” bike company now. Shame.

  • http://www.underlinebmx.com tcBJ

    Jay kills it. I remember when he was up there with Nyquinch and Mirraco at the Global x-games ha

  • http://TheComeUp.com Andy mc

    This OG is one badass motha, sometimes i guess u give up once you have done it all.

  • marco svizzero

    so fucking good! i remember this video part and was always so stoked it on it. that whole video was pretty sick. alistars part was cool too

  • That was rad.

  • marco svizzero

    Jay cannot ride a bike anymore due to too many head injures. Jay is still very involved in the game managing macneil and putting on dope contests like elevation and metro. He is a rider for life.

  • nate

    i really forgot how awesome some of the sections from that video were

  • S&M 4 EVER

    notice the helmet children…and the HEAVY bike…jay just put all you trend whores back in your place.

    That made my day! So damn refreshing to see! Growing up I was the biggest Jay Miron fan! He always had something new every time you saw him. Does anyone remember him doing boomerang airs back in 1990? 900s, flip fakies, gaps to accidental overcrooks during the X Games before the trick was even invented! Him and Osato were the first to 360 whip spines and have them nose dived in. Oh and don’t forget the rail to rail hop and the manual to overgrind. The backwards nosewheelie thing to fakie at the one park is so sick! Ride messed up way back when they didn’t put him on the cover for that photo of him going super high on that foot wide quarterpipe in New Jersey. Supposedly because he was wearing a helmet. Didn’t matter it Jay Miron! Oh and what about the no foot toothpick grind?

  • joel

    english please? you retard

  • agent420

    540 whips on vert way back when. First double back flip … even though the ramp was ‘normal’

  • JDP

    AMAZING!

  • Gusto

    Thanks for putting Canada on the map, for getting real BMX parts into Canadian shops, for starting MacNeil, for the Metro Jams, for the Ten Pack AM.

  • holy fuck

    i had the privilege to see him in person shred some dirt he fucking killed that shit too.

    he said that he doesnt ride because his body wont let him go 100% and that he’s not just a chiller like he couldnt ever go to a park and just cruise he was going full out all the time

  • jason perz

    dude was and always will be my favorite rider. so happy to see that again. i wish everyone had a jay miron to watch ride at every contest still

  • lilryguy

    hahahahahaha definitely not straight edge he was hammered at interbike

  • RideOn

    its amazing how this is so old and yet still so far above everone else.
    Note the seat and the front brakes kids bring back some diversity to Bmx

  • Tom Stretton

    Thats why he is the beast. That was awesome.
    Jay Miron is one of the greatest riders of all time and one of the most dedicated people towards BMX.
    And he also knows how to throw a great party.
