This video made me feel like how I felt when I was a kid and my Mom would say “I’m not mad at you, I’m just disappointed”.

  1. dissapointed? adam, you are a fucking idiot. do what he did in the clip starting at 3:09 and then run your mouth (or fingers). he does a lot of the stuff that you and every other stupid kid in bmx thinks is cool. edwin rides slow as fuck. i just dont see where you have any room to talk shit when you jock the same shit. dumbass.

    • If you can’t differentiate between Edwin’s riding and most of the clips in this (don’t get me wrong there was some good shit), you need to read a book or something.

    • Banger!

    • Adam, I wish I could be as cool as you.

    • edwin is among the 20 or so riders (ratboy, gonz, butcher, ralph, vic, scerbo etc.) who have influenced bmx so much that pretty much every kid in bmx wants to be a street rider now.

      before about 2002 it was all park park park for the kids and it still would be if it wasn’t for a few people.

      anyway, edwin rides nothing like as slow as this lad.

    • this kid fucking sucks who gives a shit i know way more people that deserve to be on that team…like my boy derek klegraphe,look him up you’ll be inpressed Take.. hes way better then this nut rag

    • ^ i just looked him up on google and this was the only mention of his name:

      “haha. thats derek klegraphe. he looks like ronald mcdonald and does kickflips alot. poor kid.”

    • adam 22 is the biggest doucher alive. go on adam ride your four peg 20 inch wide bars and do your feebles on little benches.

  2. Yeahhhhhh park footy. this kid fucking sucks. good job the take your team has just become shittier

  3. Park rat/faggot/fuck the take/a22 is right

  4. Wow take Grant Castelluzos speed, subtract pegs, multiply by Hawthorne Heights, divide all that by 43 and you have this

  5. video was meh but there is no denying grizzies are fucking awesome

  6. hahahaha its funny you guys all freak out about something like this! i bet he is better than half of you faggots! its probably just getting shit talked on because there isnt a barspin in this video like all the other shitty videos that get put on this site!!!

    • haha your boy is good i guess, but if the takes just getting any random kid that can hhalf ass his way around a park then im in. Take holler at me. I can do sweet one footers too.

    • Yeah me too mate.

    • hes probably on the team because he MIGHT be a cool guy who likes bikes not because of skill?….. BUT this video did suck and was about 3 minutes longer than it should have beeen.

      how can people compare this niggas slow riding to edwin…. edwin goes kinka slow but on streeeet bout to hop on some rails….
      this dude goes soooopa slow to do a 180 and fakie around in a circle…?
      Edwin is a LEGEND.

  7. he is definitely going to help sell product.

    WEAK

  8. this was so painful to watch

  9. This guy gives tech riding a bad name… go hang with Cory Jarman

  10. son i am disappoint

  11. …and just when i thought girl pants were finally out of style, fuck.

  12. im sorry you have to sit through videos like this Adam…..seriously….and what does it mean when a kid who wears tight pants makes fun of a kid who wears tighter pants….

  13. that was sick. adam, i dont think your description is accurate

  14. wow. not worthy of front page. kid can ride, but cant film, edit or ride at a enjoyable pace. And getting on The Take. whos cock man? thats what i want to know.

  15. dude that shit was techmazing (wtf is there to be disappointed about oh no tailwhips, barspins, or turndowns )

  16. fuck the haters.
    fuck the comeup.
    i <3 tanner nelson. one of the most talented riders i know. not to mention the funniest kid alive.
    69

  17. I want to suck a dick.

    Yours

    Sincerely

    John Dale

  18. ok his riding is decent but he is really good

  19. that was so gay. i’m terribly disapointed in the take. i know kids who do shit that is a million times better than that on a daily basis and are still sponsorless

  20. alright i wont lie, this was terrible, not so much the riding, but the song, editing and filming, i heard about this kid way back when the take took a trip and stayed at his place, but i was extremely dissapointed to see a half assed version of SPAM

  21. Regardless of your feelings on this particular video, I am so sick of people commenting “I know a kid that is sooooo much better that this who isn’t sponsored, bla bla bla!” Being sponsored isn’t just how you ride, but the type of person you are, and more importantly who you know, get over it you will never have a beef jerky sponsor!

  22. I’m sorry but anybody including myself could do every trick in this video. i didnt know riding trials on a bmx bike and doing full cabs into banks could get a kid sponsored. He’s probably a cool kid, hes good at riding a bike, but its nothing original or crazy, or even hard for that matter.
    my friend michael is 15 years old, been riding for about 8 months, and can already invert, turndown, lookback, all at about 6 feet up AIRING and on hips and on spines even, 360+ any of those tricks, tailwhip, 360 BIG stairs, and alot of other shit. and hes sponsoreless. kid goes higher than alot of pros i know. so the take idk what the deal is

    • ha

    • man must be nice to grow up riding with a park in your town. i bet you guys have a foam pit and everything. the closest park growing up where i live was 2hrs away in indianapolis. so congrats, gotta be sweet to have a park to learn all the coooooolllll park moves at. some of us have to learn street bullshit on shitty little obstacles. and by the way i have a friend thats alot better than yours.. lmao

    • Good for you guys!

  23. im going to compliment the filmer’s patience and tolerance. There’s gotta be a pretty strong friendship for one to endure that kind of torture.

  24. Some good stuff, but his style made it really hard to watch. Grizz airs were crazy though.

  25. Hahaha I wear tight pants, I don’t go fast, and don’t really give two shits about what you guys think about how I ride. Haha if you don’t like the edit, don’t watch it. Its pretty damn simple
    Hahaha I wear tight pants, I don’t go fast, and don’t do tailwhips or barspins

  26. He seemed close to the ground a lot, dawg must love gravity.

  27. You know what? You guys are right having fun is gay

    • did you ram your shoulder on the grizz air?

    • No, rammed your sister.

    • Well everyone hates, on everyone I’m not surprised, you all just sound like big pussies, I liked the video, everyone has there style and tricks they want to do, I’m actually stoked, this isn’t another mundane video full of whips and bar tosses, cheers Tanner, glad you made it, when Alex told me a few months ago, I was stoked

    • classic having fun defense I see. classic

    • I disagree 100%, NOT having fun is gay, and watching your video is not fun. Is this too hard to understand? Why would anyone give a fuck if YOU were having fun? Want a cookie or something?

  28. lolz @ everything

  29. you lost the filmers attention at 2:38.

  30. Manual to this, manual to that. Spin here and there, manuals and tucknohanders. put them together and do it again.

  31. no hate to the dude, riding is supposed to be fun thats all that matters, but for a “welcome to the team” edit i’m sorry that was horse balls on 3 week old tuna head with butt sauce. i don’t mean so sound like such an ass, the dude is most likely a lot better than the edit puts on but after Ty Morrow’s welcome to the team edit for federal i would have thought people would step up their game a little by say i dunno at least putting some effort into getting a nice assortment of clips to make you think; wow the take know whats up i’m gonna fondle their shit next time i’m scowering dan’s comp for the latest in ball reduction framework. yo the take if you put me on the team i will do more than go to my favourite skateparks and think of the most obscure lines possible and film it with my iPhone, hell it sounds like you need a new marketing director too!

  32. HOLY FUCK

    HES ON THE TAKE TEAM?

    OOOOHH BOYY DO I HAVE SOME SPONSOR ME VIDEOS TO SEND AWAY.
    FUCK 90% OF MY LOCALS WILL BE SPONSORED BY FRIDAY

  33. i actually didn’t mind some of this.
    let the haters hate.
    its gotten america this far.

  34. I definately did not choose to have this on thecomeup. Thats for sure. It got put on The Take and it must have found its way to the regretful pages of TCU. So any of you who think I just randomly sent this video to Adam to get put on the front page you are wrong. I appreciate the good words and even the bad. I got a good opportunity offered to me and I took it. Can you blame me? I apologize if thats a problem to any of you and Im going to continue to ride and have fun how I would like. 69!

  35. this vid was so fucking assraping good. cant even believe some shit of what i saw. AWESOME d00d!!!!!!

  36. all the people out there hating whats the point? if your not going to give him some sort of complement or congrats; what do you care how he rides? and how he got on a team?. damn you all sound like a bunch of preteen school girls who didn’t seem to figure it was time to take the tampons out of your ass’s

  37. awesome grizzlies

  38. Wow! that was the gayest thing I have ever seen on this site.. seriously when I read the description I was like how the fuck does that happen? then after watching it I understood. I am ashamed to own a frame & shirt made by this company thanks to this dick

  39. i see one more slow ass manual 180 to manual 180 out im guna shoot my self, this guy is so weak. i love the take but this is pure bad taste

  40. seriously the worst video ever id rather watch capone. lol

  41. the take fucked up, this dude cant ride for shit.

    tanner, up your game or get out and stop wasting the sponserships money.

  42. Is that a joke????
    Come on! Why would The Take waist their time with this kid. Just another sandy skate park kid that wants to be Jayson Johnson……

    • haha! yeah tanner and jayson ride EXACTLY the same holy shit

    • your a fuckin idiot!!

    • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I am trying as hard as I can to become Jayson Johnson. Even if it takes being on the sex offender list and going to jail multiple times.

    • hahaha omg, did that guy really just say that?
      i didnt see one turndown or lookback, in the whole edit, oh wait thats cuz tanner rides NOTHING like jayson johnson, lol tanner doesnt even know what transition is, he only rides curbs :p
      i <3 tanner

  43. man that dude rides so fast i wonder the camera man keeps up with him !!!!

  44. capone is nastier, he trucks it at shit at least

  45. I did not once say “i couldnt do that” he does not deserve this sponsership when there are people out there not sponsered by a frame company that actually deserve it.

  46. that griz air before the video even starts is good enough for me..69

  47. Adam you and your little cult here are ruining bmx. I guarantee half of you kids cant ride like tanner. so all of you just fuck off. he is a shredder and probably one of the coolest kids i’ve ever met. he deserves to be on the take. i hate the comeup so fucking much. Love you tanner!!!!!!!!!

    • Yet you follow me on Twitter and check the website. Personally I don’t check any websites that I hate.

  48. what exactly makes you “deserving” of a sponsorship??

  49. well hmmmm i didn’t see one air out or a bar spin or a tail whip has bmx gone non circus act nah it went circus on fucking curbs whatta faggot i officialy would have to say the take went downthe drain.

  50. people that are shit footed should not spin that muchhhhhh!!!!!
    fuckin nibblerrrrr

  51. tanner fucking rules

  52. tanner fucking rules

  53. does any one know how to air anymore????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

  54. Adam, all I want to know is if an edit sucks or is the worst thing youve ever seen or whatever, why post it on thecomeup? Why waste your time as well as everyone elses posting an edit that no wants to see? Its pretty retarded for you to post my video and bitch about how bad it sucks, dont you think?

    • it didnt suck, if you had fun making the video then it was a success. Adam22 has no room to judge…

      your grizz airs made me pumped!

    • The Take is a fairly well known, prominent BMX company. Them adding a new team rider is without question, news. If the rider has a Welcome To The Team edit, then it’s also certainly news worthy whether it’s good or not. I didn’t even really bitch about your video, I wrote one sentence implying that this video was a dissapointment. The 100+ comments saying that this video sucks aren’t my fault, they would have happened even if I didn’t say anything. Stop trying to blame TCU for your video getting ridiculed and go film a web video that doesn’t suck.

    • hahaha shit son
      i think you just got owned by adams comment

      yeee boyyy

  55. leave Tanner alone, life must be tough enough with a GAY ASS NAME like that…his Mother destined him to fail life as a weak feminine bitch, just read his comments:what a little douche

  56. The shredding was good. I have never seen so many stupid ass comments. Stoked to ride with friends who have fun, shred, and don’t care what else is going on then the rest of these faggots on here.

  57. high and fast > slow and low
    fuck these stupid little park nibbles

  58. The ridding sucks..
    why would a well know company like “The Take” sponsor a burn out kid like this that isn’t even good at ridding?

  59. “The Take is a fairly well known, prominent BMX company. Them adding a new team rider is without question, news. If the rider has a Welcome To The Team edit, then it’s also certainly news worthy whether it’s good or not. I didn’t even really bitch about your video, I wrote one sentence implying that this video was a dissapointment. The 100+ comments saying that this video sucks aren’t my fault, they would have happened even if I didn’t say anything. Stop trying to blame TCU for your video getting ridiculed and go film a web video that doesn’t suck.”

    …every video i saw of ADAM22 sucked!!! dont take critizims from a shitty ass rider like that douchbag! making money off those wack ass tees probably got to his head. Tanners on The Take and Adam isnt… kinda says something

    • your giving Salt lake city a bad name………
      why don’t you shut your little mounth.

    • Yeah, I wish I was on The Take. Are you even real? My brain just exploded.

    • OMG the actual ADAM22 responded to my meaningless comment. …i must have struck a nerve. Im not real at all Im just some voice over the internet that speaks the truth. You make BMX a joke. Riding isnt about how good someone is.. its about doing what you do and having fun with it. No one remembers that anymore.
      dont even know why im responding to this… my voice is also meaningless

    • if you think hes a joke why do you come on his site?
      probably cause your a little trendy poser bitch that just follows what everyone else does and doesnt wanna look bad to his friends that ride.
      and ten bucks says you own one of his so called “wack ass” tees you faggit.

    • sure DYLAN you totally know what your talking about kid. keep it up

    • what you on about? yeah adam might not be amazing but the point he was making was that this kids sponsered and is shit but adam isnt sponsered for riding is he? so the point you just made is stupid

  60. shit there is alot of bitching on this video, the grizz airs are pretty busty.

  61. Tanner’s riding is unique. He might be out of his element if you tell him to air a quarter or trying something “stylish” but there are a million kids out there trying to look like Mike Aitken (which I don’t blame them because he’s AMAZING in ever sense of the word). Tanner got sponsored because you don’t see riding like this very often. It’s refreshing to see someone with this amount of creativity. Just because he prefers riding curbs doesn’t mean he doesn’t have talent. At least you can tell he’s having fun.

  62. Haha you people below me making a big deal outta this are just jealous of tanners overly large penis :] lmao. Get over. Jesus. People are sofakingretarded. ;] GO TANNERRR!

  63. I repeat TANNER NELSON IS THE GREATEST MAN ALIVE. you never see riding like him. all you little cumdump kids go do a turndown or something.

  64. No whips and no barspins won it for me. Good original stuff.
    Lets shred in SLC in a couple weeks.

  65. this kid is GAY

    i want some GUCCI MANE!

  66. weather u liked it or not.
    you would have to agree, this kid getting on the take
    is far better than that tate roskelly kid from utah getting on pro and paid by volume oh ya and his own frame.

    at least tanner can legitimately ride a fucking bike.

    so no more hating on the take for picking up tanner because you think he sucks.

    the real crime is the legit company putting a legit clown on their team. (tate)
    he may be a cool kid but fuck that is in no way bmx.

    tanner may ride slow but at least he isnt riding on chains and can manual and doesnt think juggling while surfing his bike is the newest hot banger

  67. i agree with catfish original stuff no redundant handrail after handrail or bspin after bspin.. good job tanner. oh and adam22 is gonna get punched at interbike again FUCKING MORON

  68. Tate definately has some moves though man. He’s in a league of his own. I rode with him last night and he kicks ass but I do appreciate the compliments.

  69. HOLY GRIZ AIR!

  70. Speed 4 – If this bike goes over .00000001e8 mph you will explode

  71. no dont kid yourself. he sucks.

    i can see you back him up cuz obviously he is your friend but no. he sucks. horribly. seeing him being paid and getting his own frame seriously pains me.

    what person in their right mind would think of that.
    idiotic

  72. dare me to say I’m catfish when I am not?

  73. Lets go sky some trails

  74. Clean riding, i know that Nathan “uber” cooper would be super stoked on this kids riding

  75. holy shit. this is stupid.

    let’s be realistic here. adam22 being good, great, or horrible has nothing to do with this.

    next. and this will go for every web edit that gets torn up from now on. if you put out a web video on a major bmx web site with the idea that you are now sponsored, and that includes the take, then you have now gone beyond fun. youve brought money into it, and thusly you are open to the opinoins of others.

    so deal with is.

    that said, while this kid may be better than this edit, this edit is not fun for me to watch, rather the opposite. i spent most of it wondering if maybe this kid is in fact really really good, and this was a joke he was making. like a fucking around video.

    lastly, is suck at riding bmx, so maybe none of what i said matters. (i also like tate’s riding)

  76. FYI Im definately not getting paid

  77. look tanner, this is nothing against you at all, hell, your probably a great guy.

    this is more about how kids put out a video they want people to see and then get all defensive when its critisized

    what im saying is once you start taking free product in exchange for your representation, well thats the same as money my friend, and your going to have to take a little heat.

    so, again, your way fucking better than me, and that above post is just my opinion.

    keep riding, and hopefully keep having a good time on your bike.

  78. some stuff was good, some stuff wasnt, dont do grizz airs off a ledge you look like a goof, thats basically the only bad part for me grizz are for trails and box jumps lets keep it that way

  79. wow, i think this is the most comments i have ever seen on one video
    and the best part is most of them are pointless shit talking because its a different riding style haha not gonna lie, this kinda makes me not wanna check the come up anymore, too many kids talk shit hiding behind keyboard like they’re way tough and amazing at riding when in all actuality they dont have 1/8 the the skill of any rider in any video on here…

  80. i could beat this kid in BIKE

  81. shittest style ever, fuckin bow legged freak in spray on jeans, patch up that hole in the backside of your pants kid you’re making me feel sick

  82. adam22 you r one tit n watch what u write dickhead.

  83. it wouldnta been so bad if he was just going faster..

  84. wtf is the world of bmx coming to and the take. looks like the take is really are going to shit. guess they have resorted to sponsoring their friends.

  85. that video was good.

  86. Too bad he’s a fake that talks shit on the very people who are defending him when they’re not around. Don’t be too hard on him, his life is just one big aweful joke.

  87. or steve orbits look him up take hes got a tattoo on his neck that says the take, and look up how to build bikes because your frames suck dick and break in numerous places

  88. why cant my tight pants make me do that?

  89. what does the take have the shittyest riders EVER

  90. You all need to get off this and ride. Its not about what other people are doing, its about you having fun with your riding. Riding isnt about sponsorships, its not about webvids and its certainly not about ragging like girl scouts on other peoples style. Its about- gaining mates, the places you visit and just having fun.

    Tanner, I wouldnt ride your style, but I know I couldnt if I tried, you have patience- which is more than just a hop-whip or a feeble to barspin. Props.
    Adam, I know its your job, but you shouldnt be throwing be intentionally throwing riders under buses just to get a bigger audience.
    Bitches, stop bitching and go ride your bike.

  91. 3:11… The best trick EVER!!!!
    (portuguese coment: ESSE cara é mais YURI que o YURI!!!!)
    I realy liked the vid!

  92. adam22 why dont you put a video of yourself on your website and let everyone talk about how good you can ride. sure you can make a website and ass fuck a few well known riders so your site is considered legit. but can you ride worth a fuck? put an edit up and let your posse be the judge of how incredibly good you are

  93. song was already in a skate video, so i cant really see that song going with any other video so thats one reason i dont like it. number 2. filming was shit, so dark on every clip, shittiest angles, ect. and most of those tricks were fucking gay, and last, fuck park footy.

  94. adam22 you talk shit blog your shit have a website. why dont you have a mother fucking edit of big ol adam22 schredding… why? because you suck some dudes dick who can actually ride in an attempt to legitimize your bitch ass tatted up excuse of a fuck up… keep it real man ride a bike make an edit and let you TCU crew talk about how sick you are and how progressive and bad ass your bmx skills are….

  95. this shit sucks ass

  96. i don’t understand why this was so controversial to the bike-riding community. the dude rides, is probably really chill, and has a lot of bike control. maybe THATS why he’s on the take. say what you will, i think hes fuckin good.
