Jay Miron In The First Macneil Video.

by adam on 04/03/09


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.

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

    When and why did Jay stop riding???

  2. 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…

  3. 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

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

  5. 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.

  6. Fucking killer.

  7. Yeah, I rule.

  8. real bmx part I WOULD LIKE SAY I FUCK ALL BRAKELESS PEGSLESS LOWPEZ NEWSCHOOL RIDERS FUCK YOU

  9. I honest always thought this ender was the only thing to rival Vans in Criminal Mischief. Glad someone else is with me.

  10. i dont care if he uses his front brakes, those nose manuals were crazy

  11. i looked up to jay soo much growing up. used to hate it when ESPN wouldn’t show his fuckin runs. Miron fuckin rulez!

  12. Jay also said he wouldnt do another handrail after that big gap to rail … cuz it just wasn’t worth it. hahah beaaaast.

  13. whats a nose manual?

  14. awesome section from the 80s , the Kitten really went hard back then!!

  15. AMAZING!!!

  16. i forgot how good that part was. damn i wish i had my copy still. i have no idea what happened to it.

  17. so good…

  18. the 80’s? wtf? that video can’t be older than 01!!!!

  19. fuck yeah

  20. God Bless Jay Miron!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

  22. 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.

    • 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.

    • your a dick, jay has done mmore on a bike than any one on this site ever will, FACT

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

  24. 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

  25. That was rad.

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

  27. thank you for showing these children the power of the BEAST.
    i even heard he made up his own nickname.

  28. fucking madddd!
    WTF not even ruben or any fucking alien couldve done that last clip
    canadian beast one of the best riders ever!

  29. fuck yeh that section was the shit. i got that video when it first came out and always loved it.. heaton, ruben, and miron.. dudes all shred. and yeh the beast said he’d never do another rail after that.. then on San to Van he fired out the huge one. i believe a manual before it too..

  30. Fuck yeah I remember being at the premiere in Vancouver and getting so psyched on this!!

  31. thats fucking right…dvds are where its at,wouldnt see that shit in a gay web edit…

  32. where are the people that ride like this now?
    now all you see is b spin hops and smith 180s

    • that’s so true

    • the people riding like that now are nontrend followers…Like Gary Young, Morgan Wade…people your do their ride fast, go high and do their own thing.

      keeping it real

  33. shame he had to stop. we’re all gonna get the curtain call one day tho.
    true shredder!

  34. i heard jay miron nose manwelled niagra in a barrel.

  35. Dude killing it!!!! beast!!

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

  37. 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?

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

  38. So rad still gives me goosebumps every time I watch it

  39. AMAZING!

  40. 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.

  41. 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

  42. 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

  43. hahahahahaha definitely not straight edge he was hammered at interbike

  44. love mirons fuck it am doing my thing attiude.
    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
    Also Schwinn american Muscule section is also Bonkers 540 tap on double coping
    spine!!
    beast is the Beast

  45. jay miron sucks! go back to canada eh?

  46. try: Raphael Saadiq/ 100 yard dash

  47. 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.
