Rick Thorne’s Grinds & Rhymez Tour @ Factory Skatepark.


You’re probably going to assume this is lame before you watch it, but you should still watch it because it’s definitely worse than you’d assume. If I wanted to convince someone not to get into BMX, I’d make them watch this.

No offense to Rick Thorne, he’s cool, or at least cooler than whatever douche put this together.

    ok im tyred, i thought id get on tcu and see whats happening….i honestly closed my eyes while waching this video

  • http://Website preston

    i went to the stop in omaha, ne. his band is horrible. they’re like, “hey! help your parents do chores after school” and then they attempted to cover RATM’s “Killing In The Name”. Heath Pinter showed up and didn’t even do a bunnyhop. Rick Thorne just kept double pegging a quarterpipe. SICK.

  • http://Website Brett

    This video has nothing to do with anything we talked about. THis is just some dude, it has no connection to any website.

  • http://Website Brett

    And yeah, I certainly DID NOT film this.

    Grinds and rhymez tour. ther was not 1 fuckin grind in sight.

    hahahhahah!

  • http://Website dakota fanning

  • http://Website Casey McKellar

    The only thing this dude did right was not put thorne’s music on the edit…

  • http://Website Michael Scott

    There was not one single grind.
    that was brutal.
    i know 12 year olds that can put together a better video,
    everyone must of left as soon as they saw the people out side hahaha
    this actually reminds me or like a 6 o’clock news segment on bmx or something.

  • http://Website CALL ME “B”

    rick thorn sucks at everything he does, shit style, shit music, shit edit, shit shit shit… adam was right, it was worse than i assumed.

  • http://Website burbsrider

    how is that right?

  • http://Website nic

    i agree with mr. forever22

  • http://Website bruh

    finally everybody in a post agrees on something. this video reminds me of those like stupid unlock movies in the tony hawk video games. this has got to be the worst editing ever and rick thorne is gay so is stars and straps. the winner of these contests gets sponsored by stars and straps thats probably why nobody showed up.

    this is the fuckin’ guy who made this!! always trying to turn attention away from himself. what do you have to say about your abomination of a web edit?

  • http://Website switchblade

    This is most likely the worst edit i’ve ever seen. filming is horrible, ever hear of the zoom button? Let me rephrase that, ever hear of a telephoto lens? Editing was atrocious, this isn’t like editing a Lady Gaga music video for MTV, we actually want to be able to see the whole trick from take off to the ride-away. The music did not fit the edit one bit and finally what was with all the close-up shots of little boys in the beginning? Did a pedophile edit this??

  • http://Website Chilly-O

    You guys are right but obviously you are used to coming to this site to Hate. That what is was build for. It was edited to be more of a mixtape in hip hop standards a culture mist of you is unfamiliar with. Get used to it cause it’s not gonna stop. And don’t bite style because most of these bids posted here are clean but boring and the same.

  • http://Website Chilly-O

    Funny how the lames on this blog talk shit behind closed doors… Don’t be surprised if you get punched in the face strictly on Karma.

  • http://Website Chilly-O

    Hey Adam Over 3500 plays later, if video sucked why even post. Please don’t post anything Chilly-O on this site, been watching you build Hate for over 2 years, we aren’t about that, were are about introducing something different in BMX culture. I’m sure your not supportive, your journalistic savvy only exist because you have no competition and you are the reason BMX is not huge compared to other genres.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Johan-Vanderbal/746025246 Johan Vanderbal

    Bud, people only hate on shit if it’s shit. There have been countless other videos with nothing but good comments. This video lacked several things that the real world of BMX requires an edit to have. I even need assistance in compiling a list of things. But for starters, No same angle shot twice, always do it from a new angle, but then again you should have a unique angle depending on the trick. Two, you need really expensive lens’s and shit, but it has to be the shit all the artsy photographer bmxer’s think is good. Three, the riders in your edit must be able to do truckdrivers, tuck no hands, hop whips, vaderjams, flair on a sketchy street bank/quarter, oh and probably hop bar to man to hop bar.

    Please everynoe help educate mr.Chilly-O on what makes a good edit. I’m not even being sarcastic, all those things I listed I find in the top rated videos, no joke.

    PS, all down 20 stair sets. Thats why I only ride my bmx for fun now LOL.

  • http://Website B

    There is nothing “hip hop standards culture” about this video. It was just badly done, the filming was terrible, and the editing was even worse. There is no style to bite here, because there’s no style in the video. After watching your other videos on vimeo it’s pretty clear you have no idea what you’re doing.

    YEP, AND WE HAD A BLAST

  • http://Website SCOTT

    CHILLY-O I GUESS MR. VANDERBALLS IS THE JOKE. HE GETS MY VOTE

  • http://Website Chilly-O

    Vanderball I appreciate your feedback, I shot this edit in a restricted situation, didn’t have camera glide didn’t have time to compose shot… on Imovie. I’m going to introduce a photographic stile that will be heavily borrowed due to a lack of openmindedness on this site and the sport. I got 4200 views 13 likes al I need to keep going . Been riding BMX since 83, I wasn’t doing this video for just BMXer I did this video as new form of expression as it relates to hip hop. I’m still not convinced that the come down is relevant in the sport. They hate even on guys who are ridiculous. PS the riders were just amatuer kids and I’m sure there level is beyond most people leaving comments. BMX is also Art Fashion Lifestyle more deep than just your infactuation with Tricks.

  • http://Website Chilly-O

    We can go all day, only responding to people who have something to say like Vanderball

  • http://Website Chilly-O

    I hope the readers on this site realize the come down was never asked to post this edit.. Sorry to blow your Hate High

  • http://Website THE StrEetZ

    To be real the come up IS nothing but HATE! I wont speak on the edit cause its nuf said but as for all them tricks you named they are the same repetive tricks with different riders that get love! Nothings different! Whatever.. im lost in words and whatever is will keep goin but this site is killing bmx! it should not be about the edit so much but the riding thats in it. Its nice out. Im going to ride and have fun… just fun:) then go to Ridebmx

  • http://Website turtle time

    hey chilly-o
    the intro was great i thought but everyone is right. all the clips were cut short. way to short. and the angles were very very wide. i am not hating on you i am just giving you some constructive criticism. But if that is the way you like to see your edits keep doing them like that. That is what is great you can do whatever you want man. but i would listen to what people have to say and don’t give up just make your next one better and so on and so on. I really did like the intro. but the rest was to hard to see what the riders were doing. Good luck dude.

  • http://Website Chilly-O

    I can respect that Turtle Time, look at the Look Book had more time to think that out… Vimeo: Chilly-O

  • http://Website Chilly-O

    Difference between hate and constructive criticism.. Good Job Turtle Time but again this edit was experimental for hip-hop style and riders in contest, I was restricted to a certain part of park during contest, no steadicam, no tripod shot in 16 mm left there during wide shots. No time or area to compose shots or angles during contest with small amount riders. This edit was made strictly for vimeo,riders and to experiment with a hip hop style edit. Did not and edit for BMX Blog Post. Appreciate the feedback but when I edit for a blog post I generally send it out.

    Please don’t underestimate the brand, 5 years strong for a reason, part of that reason is listening to Constructive criticism.

    See: Chilly-O Spring Look Boo. Post that on Blogs. It’s on lots of sites.

  • http://Website MattySims

    Best part is the J Garner screen shot before the vid starts playing! Anyone?

  • http://Website Chilly-O

    Just thinking, the real world of BMX what does that constitute. What is cool? Is BMX a certain person? A certain City? A New Trick? How about sick engineering? If I don’t have a light bike and no handers than that is not the Real BMX world. BMX has been my addiction for a long time but who represents me in BMX world? is it You? That’s is where the BMX World has gone wrong. You can never limit what BMX is because it’s foreign or different to You? Your rules mean nothing..

    the person who filmed this should be ordered by court to donate his camera to charity (or send it to me) because what he did with that equipment is a crime against everything that’s holy in this world

  • http://Website CHILLY-O

    Just want to prove a point, even though this video got the most views in 2 days than the whole week, 26 Likes on Vimeo, people still found time to Hate. Like Streetz said this site is sure killing BMX. I leave with a running log of the Hate to prove point.

    The people who endorse this brand makes me remember how shallow and angry people are… Ashame

    chilly-o…. I would suggest that you try filming from different angles. all the shots seem to be from one spot, which become very repetitive after a while.

    id lay your wigger ass on the ground like a fuckin rug you no talent hack. stick to making bad videos and leave the e-tuff routine to me. haha “chilly-o” wants to mention closed doors.. shit, you talkin bout the ones on the closet your stuck in?

  • http://Website AndyG

    hahaha did you really really REALLY post something under the name THE StrEetZ then wait 18mins to repost under the name SCOTT. because you just wrote the same thing twice. 10yrs ago it was all about the riding, as this thing called BMX progresses into becoming a mainstream sport things change alil. YES you can still jsut go out and ride your bike and have fun, if thats what you want to do. IF your sending a video to the most well known, viewed and “hate filled” blog in bmx you have to step your game up or you might as well not even bother, if your just doing it purely for fun, dont fucking send it to thecomeup. with hundreds of edits being made in bmx every month you have to have quality production not jsut some good tricks and expect to have a well liked video. get some brains please.

  • http://Website AndyG

    quit talking about rules and what YOU think bmx is. bad filming is bad filming is bad filming. quit making fuckin excuses, you could have shot that from like 4 spots and shot long most of it and made it look 20x better. all the excuses in the world doesn’t change the fact that the filming and editing were just lazy as hell and poorly done. that has nothing to do with bmx, it has to do with you. no one ever said shit about the tricks it’s all been about your “stile” of “hip hop experimental filming” which clearly sucks and your trying to bash bmx in general back for it. nice

  • http://Website AndyG
