RE-UP: John Heaton’s BMX Life.

This video was posted not-too-long-ago and produced a wide assortment of comments. The video was removed shortly after it was posted, but it’s been reposted on Youtube for anyone who missed it. I’ll go ahead and quote myself by saying “John Heaton is a gatdamn Canadian legend.” Enjoy.

    This is amazing. There is more to life than just looking out for your self and worrying about being better than everyone else. If everyone followed that philosophy, there might not even be a need for what John is doing. Unfortunately that is not the world we live in at the moment. Awesome to see someone stepping up to help, even more awesome when it is someone I already looked up to and respected as a rider.

    I remember takin Heaton out when he was underage with Craz-E-Crew team in Ottawa. Dude got snorkeled and started chuckin beer bottles at the dancefloor. The DJ started loosing it, and he got one too! Needless to say, he got ushered out the side door as fast as he got smuggled in! Amazing rider, and a role model

    So the maker of this took it down because he thought it would violate the rules of the contest he wants to enter it in, and so you find a random youtube version to post?

    I knew you two couldn’t stay mad at eachother forever. (Jay/Dave)

    B.O.T. I wish more people saw riding the way john does. Money’s cool but the journey bmx takes you on….amazing. And he’s giving back. Looking out for people in the same deep shit he was and trying to give them hope that there’s better things out there for them. Seems like a really great guy. I like his attitude.

    Pretty cheesy, but good on him.

    Before veiwing this I knew nothing about John Heaton besides the facts that he is Canadian, has bigger stones than most and crazy skills to match. Wow! A well-deserved eye opener for sure. This makes me think about how I could help people. That may sound cheesy…whatever.

    It’s such a lovely story, really inspiring. it just shows you can be born a bad man, ride like a bad man and then help the bad men be good badmen, which is really great.
