tom white, possibly my favorite person to watch ride, especially in person. this has nothing to do with metal bikes... but this is his standpoint part from 2004 in which got me motivated to ride some shits when it came out.
i guess when a video comes out and it makes you want to ride... they were TRYING TOO HARD?

trying hard. what the fuck does that mean?

I make all my creations for my entertainment and exploration into the world. i don't make videos for thecomeup nor to be posted on thecomeup to be shit talked about. Why would you post the le freakies on thecomeup? serious bmx fun, seriously. serious bmxers doing make weird shit right?

its my fucking body, its my bloody time.

i can do with it what ever i please and you can't stop me, burns or any other weirdos from doing what we want to do. we all like to admire another riders, riding style or skills but its swindling to say that i want to be burns or i am a clone. 

really are u a clone for talking english or riding a bmx or even doing a bunny hop. and i bet i have more in common with the next person to read this does this make you a clone? 

true story. before i even met burns or was part of metal i filmed half of that le freaky bone film not knowing anything about burns' weirdo shit.or even "old gold" 

2 guys both doing flips or foot jams on opposite sides of the world are clones? 

who the fuck are you to judge what is right and wrong with what i do or what anyone does?

your not me. and you will never be able to know. my mind is what creates the world i live in. not trys hard. 

try means i didn't quite get what i was aiming for, i tried a mother set of stairs. thats about the only thing you can say i tried hard at and didn't quite pull it off. kids need to have a chillaxe and listen to their world.

its much easy to destroy or give up or quit, why not have an open mind and give shit a chance or a try. or is it so terrible to try shit out? stupid fucking narrow minded fucks. here is that same babe and some more videos including joe meek and a drawing of metal bikes.

Josh Stricker in PLEASE KILL ME... look how fast he goes, i think he might be trying too hard. fuuuuuuuuck that. this is bmx

lets discuss the term "TRYING TOO HARD" it seems to be pretty popular amoungst internet haters.. and i wish they would explain it to me.. it doesnt necessarily piss me off.. but got me totally confused as to what they are TRYING TO SAY. Because, usually these internet haters are nibblers that ride 2mph doing footjams anyway, and are totally serious about bmx. AND TAKE IT TO ALL ITS SERIOUSNESS. Take Alex Liiv for instance.. his Le freaky bone video from you tube had a post, and some kids saying "this guy is TRYING TOO HARD" trying what? hes a weirdo, he has a strange sense of humor, just like the rest of us at metal bikes, the only thing hes TRYING TOO DO.. is entertain himself and his friends. Woopty Fucking Doo. what is he TRYING that is sooooo HARD? the internet nibblers arnt trying hard enough. And the even more mind boggling term of TRYING TOO HARD is the association with riding. When a rider rides 10 hours a day, take for instance JJ Palmere, some kids say he is TRYING TOO HARD. kids like that just like to ride a lot. and for the ones going nuts HUCKING big gaps, or JUMPING big gaps.. that are supposuvly "TRYING TOO HARD" are actually just having fun. For some people such as MYSELF... i get no entertainment or fun out of riding flat ledges, little banks, footjams, and curb riding going really slow. The only things that entertain me and keep me motivated on my big are things either have to go fast for, or that scare me, or grindage. Its just my taste, just because my entertainment level consists of me to do bigger things that might seem a little crazy to some youngers.. it doesnt mean im TRYING HARD. im just riding on what is my level of progression and fun. if i didnt progress to bigger drops and such.. shit would just get boring after awhile and id probably have a thumb up my butt eating cheese doodles and looking at the come up for little nibblers who ARE NOT TRYING HARD ENOUGH

Shooting snaps has been a bit difficult lately. Cemetery missions with cops and grounds keepers. This is a bail as Burns kills his wrists and ankles some more.
