i love a silent hub too, but i also love that king/hope chainsaw ripping sound for trails. i actually remember in the early 2000's a company named stealth was making cassettes that were infinite instant engagement points and ran completely silent hence the name. i really wish more hub companies went this route it seemed like it really would have taken off but i guess it sank. they were race hubs, but i'm sure the technology could transfer to a more substantial hub design. also they were true cassettes. not like the drivers of today, 12t is about as small as it got back there back in those days 😂
OMG Leigh is sooo funny that in 2001 when I saw him at the ' park, he rode up to-beside-me on the ramp, and when he came into my aura space, dude, I literally burst out laughing and rode away embarassedly ... his energy just made me laugh so deeply. 20 ounce ? It more like 40 !!!!! (Only the old timers will know that one) Good to see you're doing well Leigh
Just found out you even did these videos (you can thank RodeoPeanut for the shoutout haha). Have binge watched just about every video over the past 3 days. Have been a huge fan of yours since I was in high school. Keep up the good work man, your channel represents BMX so much better than most of the other channels.
I cracked my top tube the other day and haven't been able to ride. It's on the verge of snapping off at any moment. What frame would you recommend for a 6' dude who mainly rides street? I haven't bought parts besides tires and shit in a while.
Damn that's a bummer about your frame. Definitely get off that thing ASAP. Not worth the risk. I'd recommend the Cult Hawk frame. It's what I ride and feels great on street. Has a little longer of a back end than most street frames, but I think that'll suit you well since you're 6' tall. If you want something a little more responsive, look into the Cult Dak frame. The back end is a bit shorter and the headtube is a little steeper. It may be better for tech street riding, but also may feel a little too easy to handle. It all comes down to personal preference though. Both those frames have somewhat taller standover heights (the Dak frame is really high) and come in 21 and 21.25 sizes. Both being advantageous for people 6' and over. Hope this helps!
oh shit its drew bezanson dude is a beast. him and steven moxley gotta be two of the craziest riders from canada. well besides the canadian beast but he doesnt ride anymore.
Not planning on it. Trying to keep 1 or 2 videos coming out weekly though. Daily seems like an insane amount of work and I don't think I'd be able to ride enough doing that.
It just ended and I was hanging out for more!!! That was such a teaser but awesome. Did you ever study a degree or work a "normal" job before being an athlete?
Everything there is more on the advanced side. Not that it's super hard to ride, but it's good to feel comfortable on quarterpipes, spines, and vert walls since there are a ton of them there.
Pull off of the coping a little harder on your way up. Mellower quarters you have to pull hard in order not to hang up. Steep quarters you don't have to pull as much.

dan Foley i've always looked up to the way you ride, I even took a trip to Greenville to ride your old local skatepark. amazing please keep vlogging
Cheers man! That park is so fun. Definitely miss having it down the road.
This format is the best format. The daily vlog (all talk and no riding) is boring af. Quality over quantity. Thanks Dan, you the man!
Awesome to see Leigh ramsdell and Rob Darden still killing it man
awesome one here, some legends ridin on the youtube 💃🙌☺👍👌
i really like the format of this video with you talking over the clips and stuff. keep it up
Two thumbs way up.🤘🤘🤘

It's like Planet Earth, but for BMX! Love the edit style
Haha thank you!
Your riding style is so satisfying.
Thank you! Greatly appreciate it.
I really enjoy your style of filming more than most! Great work dude, keep shredding!
Thanks man!

Thank you!
Love to see you visit the Cranmers at The Incline Club in NJ. #standwithscotty
I'd love to get up there. That park is amazing and Scotty and his crew are rad.

I fully enjoyed this video... How does this park stays alive? Who plays the bills? Place is sick!
Thanks man! Nyquist runs it.

Party Marty!
that bowl in the beginning is so sick
One of my favorite parks.
Dan Foley where is it ?
oh shit its drew bezanson dude is a beast. him and steven moxley gotta be two of the craziest riders from canada. well besides the canadian beast but he doesnt ride anymore.
haha, polar bear discrimination. Totally went over Kyle's head.
Are you going to start uploading daily?
Not planning on it. Trying to keep 1 or 2 videos coming out weekly though. Daily seems like an insane amount of work and I don't think I'd be able to ride enough doing that.
i spy my little eyes that i see a red little Mongoose bike lol
Dan what kind of mic are you using? Audio is always so perfect in your edits!
Thanks! Just been running the mic that's built into the GH2. Pretty mind-blowing how good it sounds without needing an external.
Really it is! Just checked it and now I'm really thinking about it as another camera in my bag! Thanks for help :)
It just ended and I was hanging out for more!!! That was such a teaser but awesome.
Did you ever study a degree or work a "normal" job before being an athlete?
Thanks! I have a media production degree. Haven't really had a normal job, but I do freelance video work alongside riding.
Dan Foley I thought you must have done some something extra well done and it shows in the quality
Is the unit open to public? Or did nyquist have to get you in?
Darden is the true mvp
How are the jumps at the unit?(easy to jump?)
Everything there is more on the advanced side. Not that it's super hard to ride, but it's good to feel comfortable on quarterpipes, spines, and vert walls since there are a ton of them there.
Cool, thanks for letting me know👍🏼
Whenever i try to air the quarter i always case, any tips anyone?
Pull off of the coping a little harder on your way up. Mellower quarters you have to pull hard in order not to hang up. Steep quarters you don't have to pull as much.
