TCU Exclusive: Drew Bezanson Interview.

Who Has The Best Turndowns In BMX?

by adam on 12/21/09


The thread about who has the best tables in BMX has the most comments of any TCU post ever (well, it did until I did a bunch of feeble grinds on flat ledges), so I’m assuming that this post will get a lot of responses too. Seems like Joe Rich and Chris Doyle dominate the results, although there are a few newer names mentioned like Sean Sexton and Sergio Layos.

  35. haha i was waiting for someone to say dan lacey. he is the man

  36. Lacey doesn’t have trails style, and I think that wins you some legit Brownie with this ole classic… Its like comparing a Tony Watkinson’s invert to Stuaffer table. Of course Stuaffer wins – by miles.

    Hmmm.

    My vote goes with Joe Rich. For style and slow, thorough, solid, classic execution.

    Other contenders: Garrett Byrnes has a nice click on him too. Gerry Galley takes some beating. James Weston (UK rider, circa 02 Urban Games). hmmm.

  37. Dan Lacey, they are unimaginably clicked in!!!! No questions…..

  38. joey hills are def up there

  39. Tomislav Radić go on his facebook there is a picture of his turndown over the box, awsome

  50. DOYLE!!!
    MILLER
    SEXTON
    LACEY!

    word.

  51. Doyle, and Aitken, Can’t decide which is better. I’d have to say Doyle edges out Aitken.

  52. I would say Dan Lacey. It’s no doubt about it, imo.
    Strange that it was only catfish who mentioned him?!

  53. Lacey and Miller. But I’m a little bit surprised nobody mentioned Matt Roe. He has some super sick turndowns for sure.

    Dan Lacey.
    Sean Sexton.

    MIKE DIODATO
    and MARK BAR-CHECK 1212

  55. JOHNNY STEVENS!?

  56. Kyle Hart, Mat Hoffman (1 handed turndowns???), Sean Sexton

  57. MIKE MILLER!, it’s ovbiously he fuck Joe and Chris easly

  58. punjab for sure, but Taj’s squatting turndowns should get an honorable mention…

  59. dan lacey, jared chilko, SEAN SEXTON

  60. MIKE SPINNER has a wild ones

  61. DAN LACEY!!!

  62. I can’t believe how little Mike Aitken’s name has been dropped regaurding this subject. Think about the fact the he won dirt @ the slc dew tour last year by combining “simple” tricks with clicked and styled out TURNDOWNS. Nobody will ever win a dirt contest like that again i.e. (no flips, whips, or bars). Best Turndowns in bmx= MIKE AITKEN.

  124. AITKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  126. i have a feeling if catfish didnt say dan lacey his name would have only been mentioned a few times.
    go watch “ANTHEM” you trendy little fucks and then answer the question

  127. ive never seen anybody come even remotely close to doyles turndowns, dan laceys are more clicked…but they are circusy. doyles are by far the most stylish and the most burly. three turndowns over 35 foot sets and its burlier and looks better then anyone elses. all the new school kids look at how clicked it is and not how burly and good it actualy looks. doyle is amazing and no one can touch anything he does. period

  166. “This is out of place here (sorry turndowns) but I wanted to post it where it would be read. The internet is doing bad, bad stuff for BMX; anyone over 15 years old knows it. And the posting a few days ago about personal stuff going on in mine and another BMXer’s life is a new low. I’m embarrassed. I’m embarrassed that something like this would be brought to a BMX website instead of between who’s involved. I think anyone who rides a bike should be embarrassed. Anyone who goes to this website should be embarrassed. The only reason I’m writing this is because I hope to embarrass the guys below, too, if they‘re not already. I won’t post anymore or follow the comments, so they can feel free to go back to saying the same shit they’ve been spewing for the past six months. But, if nothing else, this just makes me feel slightly better about it.

    Adam22: You prefaced the post about Catfish talking shit on me comparing it to TMZ because you knew it was a lame thing to do and you were sinking to an all-time low, but you did it anyways. Are you trying to be as hurtful to BMX as you can? Are you trying to see how shitty you can make it?

    Catfish: It’s things like this that just remind anyone that has ever experienced you that you are sad (and judging by the comments, a lot of people agree). You could have easily got my phone number, I know Quinn has it. But no, instead of calling me and saying your piece about it to me and possibly getting the other side of the story, you posted it on the internet. That shows where you’re motivations were. Calling me would have got you no recognition. You needed to make a post about a personal thing between two people you barely know on the fucking internet. And by the way, this dear friend of yours, Cody, his daughter is 2 years old. That’s 2, not 4. And, he works 30 hours a week at a bike shop, he doesn’t own it. But, I’m sure you knew that, probably just a typo or something, seeing as how you hold him in such high regard.

    Mike Brooks: You seem to have such strong feelings about this, but its funny that you’ve never called me to throw in your two cents. Well, wait a minute, I guess you have sent a couple 5th grade shit talking text messages without telling me who you were. But, other than that I haven’t heard a word out of you. Except, of course, now this stuff that I see on the come up. You throwing out bullshit comments about my diet choices which I never once pushed on anyone else, the fact that I used to live in my mom’s basement while I was traveling too much to waste money on an apt, a tattoo that I got 10 years ago, attacking farming (THAT is what‘s called biting the hand that feeds you) or whether or not I wear fucking deodorant. I mean seriously mike, I never cared much for you but I didn’t realize you were this bad. I’m not asking you to agree with my side of things, but I would ask you to at least pretend like you are an adult. You of all people, considering what you told cody’s ex the other day when she saw you, should know that this is not black and white.

    James: You’re a pathetic little kid that has no clue what he is talking about.

    Cody: I’ve tried to talk to you, but it’s impossible to have any kind of actual conversation with you. You won’t hear anything because you’re yelling too loud that you are going to murder me and then kill yourself, over and over again. How’s that for putting you’re daughter’s needs first? And now it’s not enough for you to try to sell you’re sob story to anyone that crosses your path, you have to take it to the internet. You think it’s hurting me but it’s you you’re hurting. You’re broadcasting personal things about the family that you supposedly love and cherish on a fucking BMX website! So since that’s the way you want to handle it, here we go. You are not a helpless victim in this thing, no matter how much you try to convince everyone that you are. Did you forget to mention to everyone how you would scream at her, calling her a whore, a lying sack of shit, a slut, and anything else you could come up with? All the while with your daughter in the room. What about leaving her alone with you’re new-born baby daughter 10 minutes after getting her home to go to the bike shop, even though you didn’t need to? Even though she was crying and scared and begging you to stay and help? What about the once every six months that she would try to go out with a few friends and you would fill her voicemail with fucked up messages within an hour of her being gone? All that when you knew that she was so fucking dedicated to you; so faithful to you. Everyone knew that about her. She is the most beautiful, most genuine-hearted person you could ever hope to meet. Anyone else would have left you a long fucking time ago. But, she tried to stick it out. All she wanted was for you to be there when she needed you, and you shit on her, time after time after time. You were fucking horrible to her and you knew it, everyone knew it. You fucked it up on your own. You deserve everything that’s happening. YOU made it all happen. You ruined the chance you guys had to be a family. You lost her years ago, way before any of this happened. She tried to hold on. She left you because of you. But now, you think that calling her everyday talking shit about me, crying, and telling her that you’re going to kill yourself is going to make her feel guilty enough to come back? That shows how much you just don’t get it yet. She has nothing to feel guilty about, you do. I didn’t steal her away or fill her head with bullshit like you try to tell people. She’s a big girl. She can make her own decisions. She gave you eight fucking years of her life hoping you would be the man you said you would be. And, for 6 of those years, I ended damn near every night I hung out with you trying to convince her that you would be that man someday. You would get 2 drinks in you, be a shithead to everyone, say some horrible shit to her, and leave her stranded all within about 30 minutes of getting to where everyone was hanging out. Remember leaving her in Columbus, 45 minutes away from home with no way back? Remember taking her shoe from her and making her walk home across town barefoot because she didn‘t want to go home at 8 o‘clock on her birthday night? And I would be stuck there with her crying on my shoulder because she had no one else to turn to. So, I would lie through my god damn teeth defending you and telling her that you loved her and that you would some day be better. You would wake up in the morning, say sorry and blame it on the alcohol, then do it all over the next night. Six fucking years of seeing that shit and defending you. There just came a point that I was done with it and in those 6 years I came to care a hell of a lot more about her than you. She came to me, I was forced to choose between two friends, and I chose her. I knew that I would give her more than you ever planned on giving her. The only thing I regret in it all is that I didn’t tell you more often that you were fucking up; that she would eventually leave you if you didn’t start treating her like a fucking human being. But, then again, it wasn’t my responsibility to tell you how to love someone. That was your job and you weren’t willing to do it.

    Are you happy now? Are you happy now that kids all over the world can read about the personal issues between two white trash guys in Ohio?”

  167. ive been told I do

    so…..id have to say

    well…..me
