come and knock on our door…

I’m not sure what’s more surprising, Jay doesn’t ride anymore or John Ritter has been dead for almost seven years.

shit!!
finding this piece of bmx history is so sweet!!

come on guys give im a break he hurt his tush haha

I find it funny how at the end he says ” #1 in united states of america” but Jay Miron is from Thunder Bay , On , Canada haha

the beast

Yeah Beast!

ahaha and he is wearing the canadian flag. RIP John Ritter

lolz

that was cleeean

Jay is everything good about bmx, Balls, brains and heart.

Did John Ritter call John Povah Jay’s dad, or am i hearing things wrong there? Jay rules full stop…

When he rode for hoffman I forget what video it was but he had a clip trying a double an casing his front wheel. That was the first I had ever seen anyone try the double flip and that had to be around 93ish? He came close enough that it definitley looked possible in that video and then I guess this came..

i think i saw barrack nobama in the audience.

you know he screwed the co host afterwards

THIS! RIP John.

me too! hahaha 3.42

I can see how he did that

John Povah for the win

Fuck yeah jay

Adam, I am pretty sure DMC was talking about Dave Mirra pulling the first one in competition.

More BMX history plz! so we can teach the youngsters about the roots of bicycke moto X

Jay almost pulled it in the Madd Matt video (95 that’s at the end during the final Matt’s part.. Eaton mistake, also with a 900 who belongs to jay ahah)..
In france in 93 rumors told that Jay pulled a triple back flip in water jump. I honnestly think it’s true…

i forgot something:
JAY IS THE MAN!!
A true legend

Colin winkleman first real deal over a real 4-5box he did it before schwinn bmx program even started!! get it right

I actually remember watching this back when I was a kid.

If by that, you mean not pulling it. Sure. Everyone remembers Colin’s attempts, but he didn’t pull it before Jay did.

I’m not pissed – well, just a little…

He looks like some futuristic soldier from a cheap SciFi movie in all that gear. I wish chest protectors would come back, Those things are sweet

backflips are 2002

dude! i remember watching this as a kid LIVE on TV. … haha … the first bail is intense.

Is that Obama at 3:42 ?

That must have been a lot of pressure. Imagine if he hadn’t pulled it. And did he really do it second try or did they edit some other attempts out.

I think DC stated that it was the first double pulled in a competition. Still I bet Miron was pretty pissed they hyped it like they did.

someone already said that above. DOUCHEBAG

Fuck Colin Winkleman dude ended up being a massive pussy.

fuck ya Beast!

TISK TISK TISK DC first Mat Hoffmans big air now this and jay pulled it dumb clean second take with all eyes watching him thats sick

that made me feel old i remember watching this when it first aired. check out all the sweet Basic Bikes Co. parts on that bike.

attempting and doing are big differences. you can’t invent something you can’t do.

Go to bmx movie database and watch Ride on.

second try, so dialed. haha. im gonna start wearing a chest protector when i ride street.

So good.
1. the woman gulping at the beginning
2. everyones stoked. lol
3. def shagged the bird co host she was feeling it
4. cheesy american tv accents always remind of some skits of a MF DOOM record
5. Jay Miron always talks like hes some steezed out Gangster rapper

Greg Dickson is right i think!
But about Jay i’ve watched it again and again, have you notice the height of this double flip?!? Maybe that’s the camera angle but it seems really really high! Much higher than Mirra’s.

Are you all retarded? Jay was the first to pull it, period. Trying it and pulling it are 2 different things.

I talked to Jay about this years ago and he said he was only ever pissed at Mirra about it because he felt like in interviews and shit, Mirra never gave him credit for it and acted like Miron hadn’t done it beforehand. Which was compounded by the fact that Dave and Jay had years of infamous beef prior to that. He wasn’t exactly ripshit about it, just felt like he was snubbed and thought it was lame.

Nice one anonymous.

RIPSHIT!!!!!

Yeah this is what i remember too. Dave’s double flip was always quoted as being the “first in competition”

No! Bad Dog! *squirts water bottle at nose* dont try starting beef again that is way old. Baaaaaad, your gonna sleep out side tonight naughty pup!

Somewhere on the internet there is footage of Reuel Erickson pulling the first one on dirt. Might just be the first one ever documented. It was pretty gnarly though. NO ONE killed it like Jay did.

he said “tush”

I’ll tell you who actually pulled the double backflip first…It was that damn Sasquatch!

oooo bang. my first vid ever. just good times and bikes. i’d love to watch it again. think i’ll do it now.

anything that makes you smile when you do it is amazing. fuck an era,style, no pegs, four pegs, two pegs. go ride and get a smile. i still do dog piss airs and one handers sometime. shits fun and funny as hell.

and try a flip. so fun. do one and you’ll see. upside down like omfg this is nuts. then you see landinging and your good. sooooooo fun. except when they go wrong. hahaha. but your usually ok.

don’t forget to watch soil too. all you kids. real og fun vid.

such a hard argument. if the first guy attemted and got close you could say he invented it. but jay pulled it first. but one of the other commenters said you can’t invent something you can’t do. which also makes sense. got my mind going. im sick as fuck and commenting way to much today. fml. and the bad dog commoent is funny as shit. adam you truck puker. hahahaha

Definitely smiled after that one.

I rode trails with Jay once…….Super Nice guy.

You can’t “invent” a trick. Your can only do a trick no one has done before you.

i can still see that DC ad in my mind. it was on some huge box jump and he was basically in the ceiling. raul ericson (i think thats who it was) had been trying it in dirt comp finals for like 5 years though.

and for midschool riding watch “nowhere fast”

“invent” is really the wrong word for tricks anyway. pulling the trick is really all that matters. saying someone was the first person to attempt a trick is kind of pointless because the line that gets drawn between “close” and “not very close at all” is so subjective. example: if someone said they were going to try a double flip but then just threw their bike, wouldn’t that technically be an attempt? so attempts are meaningless, landing the trick is all that matters and Jay Miron is definitely the first to land a double flip. /of

dc didn’t do anything aside from congratulate mirra on the first double flip IN A COMPETITION.

mirrons butt hurt over mirras double flip was a little misplaced. he seemed like he was upset that mirra didn’t explicitly add the fact that mirron pulled the first one non-competition before he did the competition one, as if he was supposed to add that little footnote into every interview he did about his own accomplishment.

why would mirra hype mirron up in his own interviews while they are beefing? the interviews were about mirras competition flip, its not like mirra was going around saying “im the dude who did the first double flip.” didn’t they even fight once?

tell that to luc-e

BEAST!!

both of em literally killed it in life. lol rip john.

Are you Miles Davis?

hoffman tried a double flip at a BS contst at his old park in Oklahoma back in 94 or 95 and broke his wrist

i didnt realize box jumps were measured from bottom of lip to bottom of landing…j.r ” its a 6′ high 32′ long structure “

WOW JAY IS THE BEAST FROM THUNDER BAY ALL YOU YOUNGSTERS CAN BY ME DINNER DID YOU SEE JOHN RITTER HAHAHAHAH PROBLEM CHILD FAME …JAY COME BACK TO BMX GET THE SURGERY OF WHATEVER IT TAKES BMX MISSES JAY MIRON…OH YEAH THATS WHEN JOHN POVAH WAS CANADIAN HE IS NOW A CALIFORNIAN

BOOBS FOR JAY

BOOBS ARE FOR EVERYONES SUPPER GO JAY DOUBLE BACKFLIP NOT A GAY BACKIE FUCK AUSTRAILA AND THERE GAY ASS DUDE BRO DINGO LINGO……….

I RESENT THAT NOT ALL OZZIES ARE DUMBASSES SAYING BACKIE AND FRONTIE

It was first in a Haro ad in RideBMX while MIrra was still riding for Adidas. He did it at the Xgames.
