I hope people truly understand what this video is. 1 of the greats of BMX shouting out and singing his praises for the forefathers that came before him. Giving them their roses. This is the equivalent of Kobe sitting down watching jordan highlights and giving him love and praises for what he meant to the sport and how he changed it. We get to have a look into the mind of Scotty who is very much a kobe of his own craft. That being said Scott we need to give you your roses! We got to stop only celebrating people when they die and start giving them their roses while they are here with us. I Appreciate and am truly grateful for the sacrifices you’ve made and what you have given to this beautiful sport Scotty! The Goat!🐐 🌹 thank you
One of the best things about these sort of action sports (BMX, MX, Skateboard, etc.) The guys that were in their prime 20/30 years ago have paved the way to the new age 2015 and on era. this includes Scotty of course but without these greats, you would not see the types of tricks and riding you see today without them.
@@marktate2683 exactly and think about it that contest he wins at 16 isn’t some bullshit contest with nobody’s, the absolute goats were riding against him and he still won even tho he was no where near his prime at that time! Dude was the chosen one! Also To be honest I don’t think we ever saw his full prime. When he had his injury in 2016 he was still progressing still working so I don’t think we saw 100%. He was 30 tho so I’m not saying he was far from his 100% full potential I still think at best we saw him at about 91% of what he was yet to become.
My dad said Mike Andrews and Brian Terada! Lol …. He also said “thank you both for the love at the beginning of the video….. it’s an honor coming from you two for sure!” -BV
I remember the riding from back then and it made me what I am today.... I wouldn't be the same person without riding and learning what I did, it taught me that nothing is scary unless you walk away without trying. It made me take a chance or "shoot my shot" and I also learned to have no regrets because that can eat you alive.... I don't want to be that person showing up at "Heavens Gates" wishing I had tried more or that I wish I knew myself better, I want to show up sliding in sideways screaming "Woooooo" and when I come to a stop I'll think "What A Ride" and knowing I did everything to the fullest of my ability. That's what BMX has done for me and I wish everyone could experience something like that in life, even if it's not BMX, it could be kayaking or rock climbing or whatever.... Just pour your heart into it and you will learn what kind of person you are and that's something you'll never regret. 😁👍
"And I had no aspirations of being a pro, I just knew that I wanted to be best that I could on my bike." Then he goes on to be one of the best that's ever ridden. Such an inspiration Scotty, so happy to have watched along with you for all these years. Through the best, and the worst, you've continued to be an absolute inspiration. The GOAT!
I went to all those Roots Jams at the Orlando fairgrounds. That's Jim Reinstra they couldn't name on the hitching post doing a nosepick. Nevermind, I think it's Mike Andrew. Morgan Wade was airing a strange quarter there one year and back peg was bonking the beam on the ceiling.
I remember just a couple weeks before that jam in 2002, we rented out the Mission Valley Skatepark here in San Diego for my 16th birthday. I have camcorder tapes of that whole day. 12 of my homies and myself riding that famous park to ourselves for several hours. I was on a 2000 model General Lee with T1 bars, WTP Everlast forks, and mostly the rest were Pr1mo parts. Etnies Vallely shoes, fox pawtector gloves.. What a magical time those early years of the 2000's were. Damn...
That's some seriously cool footage. I love these nostalgia videos and the input Scotty and Matty give into the tricks, the riders and their own experiences. It's a great way to get an insight into what is involved and the riders participating.
It’s so crazy watching this because I remember seeing similar stuff on tv and I remember whenever everyone dressed like this… every skate park seemed to have that rough plywood on the ramps. I was a skater, but I still loved BMX as a kid, still do now
Scotty you are one-hundred-percent the best there has ever been, one of the greatest tragedies, was your accident, I am glad that we have Matty and Kevin Peraza they are my top two riders in the world, and no offense to Matty, there's just nobody who will ever be as great as you you will always be number one Scotty 👍💯 Dave Mirra was a little bit older and he was in a different era, when you showed up Scotty all the old school great riders knew it was over for them, no disrespect to any of the great riders that have come in the past, hell one of my favorite riders is Eddie fiola, but there comes a time and a place for everything, when you just can't do no more, and Scotty I think that you were that person, you just can't do no more than you did, there's limits to everything, and you were a f****** Superman, and you still are and always will be😊 👍💯👍💯💪😎😎😎
That nose stall to 360 spin on the spine (I know i'm describing it wrong).. holy hell that was awesome !! Hard to believe this was 20 years ago, already..
I remember these clips of Scotty coming out with the Bucky helmet and then only a few months / weeks later props had an Eastern bikes road trip on an issue and he murdered everything on that trip
Bro, I e got a VCR (stereo audio) and a converter. I’m in Richmond, VA and just off 95 north. Hit me up when you’re heading to NJ next and we can get these tapes converted.
you get rca to hdmi convertor, with a hdmi usb capture card then you you'll be a to use obs to record the footage off VHS tape. just a method i used to get footage off a DV cassette tape
Wow!!! What?! Have you ever heard of someone getting killed in a car wreck? Do you walk everywhere you go? Have you ever heard of anyone getting struck by lightning in the bath tub? I bet you are very smelly if you have heard of it. Oh btw. People actually choke to death too, that’s scary too. Might wanna stop eating. Dude no one else can make you know what to do either. People have died because they took advice from others. Stop basing your actions on results of one rare case
Dude midschool was the absolute best era of BMX hands down. Everyone had their own style and someone's run wasn't about how many whips and bars they can do in one air or how many tricks they could link together. Modern day BMX is cool but it's too much like a video game anymore.

Man the Roots Jams were always where the craziest videos came from and the newest version of BMX came to light!
Thanks for the history lesson. The world needs more BMX historians.
Roots and Backyard Jams were the most punk rock BMX events. I still have this one on DVD.
As someone from Kansas City, I just want to say that your shirt is the shit and that band is GREAT. Much love Scotty!!!
I love old videos like this. Sometimes I still watch props and roadfools
My dad said Mike Andrews and Brian Terada! Lol …. He also said “thank you both for the love at the beginning of the video….. it’s an honor coming from you two for sure!” -BV
I’ve never even had a good bike for bmx, I used to skate but I’ll always watch every video on this channel
BV Was always a good dude to see ride and get to ride with when he was in town!

Love that shirt Scotty! Haven't thought about The Get Up Kids in probably 20 years, was a big fan long, long ago.
"And I had no aspirations of being a pro, I just knew that I wanted to be best that I could on my bike."

It does look like Jim Rienstra looking at his style
bonking a ceiling beam.. what a beast !!

The best part of this video is The Get Up Kids shirt.
Been subscribed since the birth of the channel and haven't missed one yet! This channel has become a ritual 🤣
I was 15-16 Years old I remember seeing Scott riding @Roots jam lol 😂 feel old. He is a legendary rider. Rip Dave mirra Rip Colin winkleman.
Love The Get Up Kids shirt too
Nothing will ever do better than the riding in the late 90s early 2000s. The tricks and combinations are just not seen that much anymore, if at all.
Man parks like that with those ramps setups need to make a come back! I want to see what everyone these days would do with them!
That's some seriously cool footage. I love these nostalgia videos and the input Scotty and Matty give into the tricks, the riders and their own experiences. It's a great way to get an insight into what is involved and the riders participating.
I remember reading about this in BMX PLUS! in 2002! There was an amazing photo of you flip whipping the rail. Such a sick trick!
Love you guys. You're both such a positive influence for BMX and people in general.
Love that Get Up Kids shirt!
Would love to see more of these style videos! Love the vintage bmx
It’s so crazy watching this because I remember seeing similar stuff on tv and I remember whenever everyone dressed like this… every skate park seemed to have that rough plywood on the ramps.
I was a skater, but I still loved BMX as a kid, still do now
Awesome shirt Scotty. I remember seeing them back in maybe 99
Love these old videos
Awesome! What a blast from the past!
Man old bmx and skate footage is awesome
Love these retrospectives of your career and who inspired you.
you are the man scotty. It is a shame about mirra he had CTE the same concussion problem as the NFL.
That no footed nosepick looked like Jim Reinstra. Long hair and awesome dialed brake moves.
Scotty you are one-hundred-percent the best there has ever been, one of the greatest tragedies, was your accident, I am glad that we have Matty and Kevin Peraza they are my top two riders in the world, and no offense to Matty, there's just nobody who will ever be as great as you you will always be number one Scotty 👍💯 Dave Mirra was a little bit older and he was in a different era, when you showed up Scotty all the old school great riders knew it was over for them, no disrespect to any of the great riders that have come in the past, hell one of my favorite riders is Eddie fiola, but there comes a time and a place for everything, when you just can't do no more, and Scotty I think that you were that person, you just can't do no more than you did, there's limits to everything, and you were a f****** Superman, and you still are and always will be😊 👍💯👍💯💪😎😎😎
So much nostalgia
That nose stall to 360 spin on the spine (I know i'm describing it wrong).. holy hell that was awesome !! Hard to believe this was 20 years ago, already..
I remember these clips of Scotty coming out with the Bucky helmet and then only a few months / weeks later props had an Eastern bikes road trip on an issue and he murdered everything on that trip
To this day, I still think early 2000's bmx was the peak
These were the best days of bmx!
Scotty and Matty that Ledge behind the Pool would be some good Content 🔥🔥
Dude I saw the get up kids live in Bakersfield the day this video uploaded 😆 opening for the all American rejects
Good video I like seeing old clips
I like that shirt Scotty!!! Hope to see you in kc one day!
Mike Aitken did that Ice to fakie was pegless. Look close.I remember when that went down.
Yep I remember that and saw it here too. Pretty sure he just stuck it on his dropout.
@@matthoover111 axle bolt
would love to see an hour long vid of just all of scotties old jams
YES! They can make this happen for sure.. :)
I like the way that Scotty when he finished a trick, he did the the hand gestures like that ain't shitt, just another day riding 🤪🤪🤪🤪
Love you guys much 💕 UGP SHIRT HAHAJHA
Loved the TGUK shirt!
I'm guessing the five tap on the hitching post was Jim Reinstra
Love those videos🔥
Dave Mirra ❤
It was Crisman .. rubbing his gold in Mirra's face.. haha.
I never watched any kind of bmx till I saw scottys channel
Bro, I e got a VCR (stereo audio) and a converter. I’m in Richmond, VA and just off 95 north. Hit me up when you’re heading to NJ next and we can get these tapes converted.
I was there. I knew Ronnie the owner of UGP.And did the timing for the runs and helped build the course
That was awesome!
I love when you guys do stuff like this.
Love every video
There are lots of places that will convert your VHS to DVD or even right to digital
Imagine the solid gold VHS BMX home movies Big Scott has collecting dust in his house. :0
Saw the behind the scenes of the snippet picture 🤣
Mattys next trick should be 360 fast plant seems right up his alley
Ofc you like The Get Up Kids 😁 Good band 🤘🏻
8:27 is Brian terrada
you get rca to hdmi convertor, with a hdmi usb capture card then you you'll be a to use obs to record the footage off VHS tape. just a method i used to get footage off a DV cassette tape
Midschool BMX is the best!!
Was the 540 tap on hitching post Taj?
Challenge to Mattie to try and get 3 of those tricks in that video that he has never done before. 🙂
The stance on the guy who did the 540 tap on the sub rail looked like Dave freimuth? Could be wrong but looks very similar!
8:08 colin winkelman maybe? was also left foot forward
Brian terada with the 540 tap on the hitchin post
That hurricane on the hitching post isn’t Kris Bennett is it?
✌🏼
360 foot plant is a dream trick.
Mattys gotta do the no footed nosepick. He's one of the only people that ride front brakes. Even if it's just on a bank, I know he can do it
the nosepick no-footer is not that guy called " hollywood '' ?
👍❤️✌️
I think that was could possibly be Mike Andrews in the hitch-n-post with the no footer nose pick
Tip for footy trapped on a vhs tape....set up a phone/other camera on a tripod and point it at the tv screen
Mike Andrews who did the no foot noes pick
6:33 might be Mike Brancato
THE GET UP KIDS!!!!
Local Goodwill has VHS players.
Was that rider Bruce Chrisman
When ever u got injured i stopped riding because I’m scared idk what to do anymore
Wow!!! What?! Have you ever heard of someone getting killed in a car wreck? Do you walk everywhere you go? Have you ever heard of anyone getting struck by lightning in the bath tub? I bet you are very smelly if you have heard of it. Oh btw. People actually choke to death too, that’s scary too. Might wanna stop eating. Dude no one else can make you know what to do either. People have died because they took advice from others. Stop basing your actions on results of one rare case
Just wear your helmet and pads, and don't do anything too crazy
Was the nose pick no footer Dave Freimuth?
Dude midschool was the absolute best era of BMX hands down. Everyone had their own style and someone's run wasn't about how many whips and bars they can do in one air or how many tricks they could link together. Modern day BMX is cool but it's too much like a video game anymore.
Right, now it’s like gymnasts on bikes.
Pretty sure Brian Terada that 5 tap hitching post
That was my guess too. Just based on the style of riding and clothing
Rad shirt
It sounds to me like Matty’s next project is a hitching post build and ride 🤷🏻♂️
That is in fact Kimler with the no footed nose pick on the hitching post.
I think that’s John Heaton
Mike Aitken forever
I think i got 5th in your class that year. You were a random kid no one knew doing turndown flips in 15 and under lol.
Matty please try nose pick no footer
How ironic is it that there's a Colin McKay pro skater and a Colin Mackay pro bmx rider. Last names spelled differently but still the same.
AIRWALKS
I gotta throw out Mike ardelean especially with the mosh logo
Matty's tattoo is horrible 😅
Yooo the inopia days!
Dave asato?
