50Talem Cowart web video.
Check out a good new web video of Talem Cowart after the jump. For some reason, he is one of those dudes that whenever I watch him ride I can’t help but think about the fact that he is goofy footed every 10 seconds.

In yer face Chris Moeller!
uhhhhh I’m so sick of the goofy footed shit already and 180’s wtf all the younger kids in my area ride just like this why don’t people just learn to do shit both ways???
He’s left foot forward, which in surfing, skating, and in BMX for as long as I can remember, is REGULAR FOOTED. Right foot forward is goofy-footed. He spins the opposite way as most left-foot forward guys, which is to say he does 180s and 360s to the left, not the right. Which, technically, is doing stuff “frontside” or “hard way.” If you’re going to talk shit on him for being goofy, at least know what the fuck it is.
thank you for clearing that up… but i think its too late, ive already had this argument with many riders and they just dont seem to understand that goofy means right foot forward, just like in every other “action” sport.
dont get me wrong, talem is sick, and that banger is crazy, but at some point im going to need to see something other than a 180
He turns the wrong fucking way don’t be a smartass, there is no debate what goofy foot is. Call it bitch footed if you want, but if you spin towards your front foot it will look awful unless you do a cranked lookback or 1 footed invert every time you do any spin a la Mike Aitken.
hustlin!
yeah the funny is hes better than all of u talkin shit
Hell yeah Talem
so fucking good hell yeah man when i met this dude he was super nice and is real good at riding bikes and i dont give a fuck witch way your feet are just wana watch the dope tricks you did in this video .
I have also come to the conclusion that 3 years ago know one cared if you were goofy cause people never said anything to me about it and all the people that do now are just people that are not progressing in there riding and are in there mouth .. just a thought
Jay Miron wouldn’t let campers ride goofy footed when he was a counselor at Woodward, and that was over 50 years ago. People have always cared.
growing up i clearly remember reading a how to on some dirt jumps and the quote was roughly “if you turning this way and your feet are this way then STOP, that is goofy and you don’t want to learn anything goofy footed”. With this said the fact that spam has no knowledge of bmx from anything further than one year ago does not shock me in the least. Also Spam is only defending this shit cuz his riding looks just as gross.
That was in an old RIDE BMX magazine
Yeahhhh Talem, shreddin!
I’m not being a smart ass–If turning frontside is “the wrong way,” then people who are bothered by it need to come up with a BMX specific name for it–because “goofy-footed” means right foot forward. It’s a phrase that came from surfing, then to skateboarding, then to BMX…then it was made meaningless by people who started riding last week. Goofy footed means only one thing: right foot forward. I also find it retarded that people consider doing 180s frontside or “hard way” or opposite or whatever you want to call it unacceptable. If someone was doing a frontside air or grind instead of a backside would you run after them and cry “hey, that’s the wrong way!” Stop being a bitch–bikes turn in both directions.
I have a good BMX specific name, let’s call it goofy footed. It’s what everyone called it when I started riding 10 years ago and everyone but one person seems to understand that it means you turn against your forward foot. Smith and feeble grinds are when you grind with your rear truck on with your board hanging over the rail, guess we have to rename those too. As to complaining about it - it looks disgusting, nobody wants to see it in a web video. This dude’s edit was badass, as everyone can tell, but any spinning goofy footed is just nauseating. I mean some guys like to make out with other guys, sure it’s cool I’m sure they enjoy it, but I don’t want to see that shit. If you are goofy do yourself a favor and just run 4 pegs and do straight gaps to flat.
hmmm, goofy footed… let me check, oh yes, we already cleared that one up, its when your right foot is forward, just like in everything else. left foot forward is regular, right foot forward is goofy. i dont care if you and your friends call spinning “the wrong way” goofy footed, that doesnt make it right. think about it for a second, and then try again, let me give a couple suggestions: silly footed, billy footed… etc
you are nauseating Beau, not “goofy footed” people
goofy or not
the dude kills it!
Noice.
Nice riding, what’s the name of the song?
its not like people can help being goofyfooted. just deal with it.
Talem is sick!!!
oh and goofyfooted in the bmx world means you spin and grind and all that shit the wrong way than your ment too. yeah it might not be proper, as its ment to mean “right foot foward” in woodpushing. but this is what its become to mean so deal with it!
I liked it! good edit! made me want to ride..
yall bitch to goddamn much
i like his santa hat. did i see a jester hat in there as well? that’s what I want in a video, some good hats, all flopping about and making it look all hectic. top banana.
Has BMX really come to this. People are basing acceptance on what foot is forward in relation to what side your pegs are on or what way you spin. “you spin and grind and all that shit the wrong way than your meant too” MEANT TO??!! Who decided what we were meant to do?? When I started riding I had pegs on one side. After a while I wanted more out of what I was doing, so I put them on the other side and learned that way. I am never going to roll up to ANY type of setup and say, “that’s not my side” or “I don’t spin that way” and anyone that does should be embarrassed. There is no WRONG way to do what we do. Whats really ugly about BMX is letting all of these supposed rules get in the way of riding absolutely anything you can. I’m not letting anyone’s opinion of what I should be doing on my bike get in the way of how much fun I have. I will never let some douche bag tell me that I’m doing it the wrong way based on what foot I have forward. The rest of you cant let this simple minded crap influence you in a negative way. Just do what feels right and make sure its fun……Or shoot yourself in the face.
haaha yea ETIKET!
^^goofy footed faggot^^
how can you hate on going fast and hopping high? was real good.
Holy hell! whatever hes goofy footed. Its not like hes doing them to indian. If you wanna be satisfyed with the way peoples feet are look at Danny Hickerson.
Yes BMX is about having fun, so if someone makes a web video and they are having fun in it everybody is now required to like it. If being goofy footed is such a non-issue then why do people always bring it up? It’s ugly. The only people defending it are also goofy footed.
“if someone makes a web video and they are having fun in it everybody is now required to like it.”- Absolutely not. If the video sucks, then it sucks. People have plenty of legit reasons to dislike web a video, like=
1. The dude can only ride things that are on HIS side.
2. He only ever spins one way.
3. The song sucks.
4.The riding sucks.
etc….
Nobody is required to like anything about BMX, but saying it is wrong is pathetic. You are pushing your ignorant view onto the rest of us by posting it in a public forum such as this and then trying to back up your opinion with made up facts like= “but any spinning goofy footed is just nauseating.” and ” if you spin towards your front foot it will look awful unless you do a cranked lookback or 1 footed invert every time you do any spin a la Mike Aitken.”
For real? Not only do you contradict yourself, but you are establishing a RULE that people need to fallow for it to be ok in your eyes.?!?
Whats next? Race? Religion? I know that is a little silly to say on my part, but its actually the same thing. You dont like the riding because of the way he holds his feet on the peddles.
im not goofy footed.
I am definitely getting way too involved with this but damn this getting way out of hand if adam never mentioned that he was goofy footed then nobody would have notice.
you guys are seriously fucking idiots. i ride with this dude everyday and i have never thought that his spins looked ugly. also, think about this, if he is goofy footed then that makes those dialed vaders even harder since he’s bringing his back foot up instead of the front one. fucking douche bags.
Oh yeah……….
Anyone that says that they are nauseated by the way someone else rides is worried WAAAAAY too much about how things look. That seems a bit gay. I hope your not one of those kids at the park that always asks me “how did that look?” or “Did you see that?” when all I am trying to do is ride my bike.
Let’s say some garbage hollywood movie comes out, like the Sex and the City movie. If the people that made the movie were having fun and just doing their own thing, will you now like the movie? No, it’s the end product that matters. Sorry I don’t like to watch people ride goofy any more than I like slow riding or below the coping nibbling. I suppose I am obligated to like every webvid that comes out (all 30 a day of them) because it’s just about having fun right? I obviously don’t give a fuck if you ride goofy, regular, both feet forwards or ride standing on the back pegs at all times, but if you put your video on here it is to get a response, and not everyone will like it (except all the 16 year old kids who are also riding huge bars, slammed seats, low slung toptubes, no brakes, and pretty much ride exactly the same, which seems to be about 75% of the comments here).
Nice video, great style man!
I do like men though.
I’m 100% with Nick Tay. Shut the hell up about which way a dude spins and pay attention to the riding. It really shouldn’t even matter which way their foot is. It all looks the same.

lol i ride like this, and i have a coaster, and i nibble allllll day. go to hell beau you fag, go ride some trails on your Standard and do some fuckin tables and x-ups you tool..
actually i guarantee beau either is some old trail ridin hater, or he’s one of those douchebags thats been riding for like 17yrs and thinks ppl owe him something for it, prob one of those dudes that used to go sit at the local park with his brodawgs and talk shit under his breath about all the young dudes tryn to ride, then go do a turndown and leave to go back to his crappy apartment and fugly girlfriend.. cool brahhhhhh!
im goofyfooted and imnot have any problems with this,it is my side,and i dont have a motive for changing this.
