When Brad came to Jakarta, Indonesia he slept at my shops floor, eat whatever, no complaints whatsoever.. hangout with all the kids, ride whatever he can find, sharing stories.. never a dull moment when he's around. He left a mark in every kid/riders that he met in a different way than other riders can ever be. He's the true people's champ... Keep killin' it Bradley Allan Simms, proud to call you my friend..

[@lennartbehrendt788]

That's a nice story, thank you for sharing it!

[@Idisagreethisisnotanon]

That’s truly amazing

[@wvuvino21]

Siiiick

[@rk702]

Wow! I like him even more now. Amazing athlete and man.

[@robtallent8308]

He seems like the most genuine normal honest n fun type dude in the whole universe fr

[@DeMarcusPaul]

Man!!!! This is truly amazing and unbelievably humbling. There’s no other rider like Brad. He has recreated himself and put in an unparalleled amount of dedication. Brad absolutely deserves the world 🙏🏿❤️✊🏿

Brad has been my favorite rider for years but bro you a legend in my eyes too. You ain't done yet

[@tope.sosanya]

💯 agree with you!

[@m1k3g3tz]

people like Brad are why i still watch this stuff daily, even though i am almost 3 decades off the bike myself ...

[@mikeoliver3254]

People like Brad are why I have a Kink in my house after 30+ years of not riding.

[@lennartbehrendt788]

Same for me, it's been 10 years now but my bike stays in the house still and even though I barely watch any bmx videos, if someone like Brad is on I make sure I won't miss it.

[@mikeoliver3254]

@@lennartbehrendt788 I still ride when the weather permits.

[@victerzian7877]

@@mikeoliver3254 I'm 47 and got back into riding a little over a year ago. This is some of the happiest times of my life. Don't mean to sound corny but it's true. If I can inspire you at almost 50 years of age, then that would make me happy

[@iStayKrafty]

I got the pleasure to ride with him years ago ( he commented on my phone choice being a sidekick lx 😂) and while I'm sure he doesn't remember that it will forever be a moment I'll hold on to. Dude was so humble. He'll always be one of my favorites to watch ride.

[@l3gendarylag805]

Omg, I'd probably still take that phone, with an software update that would be dope

[@iStayKrafty]

@@l3gendarylag805 I thought about buying on on eBay a few months back haha

Brad 100% deserves everything coming his way. Congratulations Brad!

The good ol bull dog days🤘🏽

[@rangeroadmoto]

I could not think of a better title for a Brad Simms video. Perfect choice.

[@SlimDonni]

Power sums it up beautifully. Couldn't have used a better word. Its Like Gravity ceases to exist under his bike. I saw him Bunny Hop in to a superman. Whaaat ????

[@ActionAdventureTwins]

This video is just so inspiring, If you have the talent and the vision of what you want to do with it, nothing can stop you from succeeding!

[@jamesannis5372]

Hi my name is Brad simms and I like to 180 over really high stuff. That part got me hooked on Brad Simms, I don't shred anymore but I will always honor him and watch his videos

[@therealjd1503]

His riding has always been amazing to watch. I’m glad that he is getting the support he has always deserved. I know some may not like it but I think the mtn bike shit is just as dope! Proves you should never give up. Thanks for the inspiration. Much love

[@michaelrodgers5105]

Word.... I haven't ridden my 20" in years and I just picked up mountain biking and falling in love all over again

[@xpndblhero5170]

I remember when he got the Real BMX award and he actually said "I'm giving it 6 months or a year then I'm done" and I don't think I've ever been so sad to hear that.... I am so happy he stuck w/ it because now he's literally recognized as 1 of the best riders in the world. I'd say he's easily in the top 10 best street riders on the planet, but as for all around rider, I'd say he's in the top 5.... Watching him ride and the way he sees the world through BMX eyes, not only on the obstacles he chooses but also the tricks he does on them. In my opinion, he's one of the most unique riders and I love watching him ride... I hope someday I can actually see him ride in person, and since he's lives so close I might be able to do that. 😁😂

[@thesamaffliction1572]

I will put it out there. I always like and admired brad but I let the social media and lack of brand support blind me from just how good a bike rider and genuine of a human being he is. Big love to Brad and apologies for forgetting just how truly good you are.

[@TrevorOleniuk]

I could rewatch this video 100 times over.

[@glo5672]

brad simms is the most underrated bmx riders out there

[@AliasMix]

Makes me incredibly happy to hear this, Brad was one of the first pro riders I ever met. His riding style resonated with me for so long, he was humble and polite, always pushing random strangers to break their own limits. A genuine one of kind person and I’m happy he’s getting everything he deserves!

[@ronmexico1392]

Watching this and seeing about this dude for the first time on fathers day. Good on who put this together, and this guy

[@valerirebonen150]

Been watching him since props and always wondered why he doesn’t get the support that he deserves, back in time when he was kinda out off BMX industry. Nice to see him succeeding. Brad is GOAT.

[@noway2836]

49 year old police officer and mountain biker here. Met Brad as he and several others were filming near the Austin Capitol. Stepped out and waved him down, full uniform and all and asked for a pic. He didn’t hesitate and allowed me the opportunity before taking off. Still follow his video parts when I can. He always appears humble and he confirmed that when I met him. I wish nothing but the best for this incredible man and athlete. He represents the best in both bmx and mountain biking!

[@tope.sosanya]

💯 he is super humble and I think misunderstood at the same time! Like all people doing interesting things, right?

[@prestochange0]

Bob Scerbo said it best, that man deserves this new and over due spoils of being the best.

[@JonathonAndFriends]

Scerbo, Hoffman, Enerson, Rigal, Fudger, SIMMS.. An incredible group of BMX LEGENDS!

[@devonsykes2598]

Brad will always be in my top 5 for this wait no top 1

[@huludicidal]

Scerbo is the shit and Simms is a beast. Much respect to both those dudes, keep killing it.

[@DesperadoDufel]

Brad been one of my favorite riders since his shook video with that kryptonite song dropped. POWER....

[@petergoldammer3595]

This Video should win the Noracup. New category "Best Bmx Documentation"

[@tope.sosanya]

💯

[@Shinless.]

I remember seeing Brad on TV when he was a little kid competing at a King of Dirt Am event held on Pier 17 in New York (had to have been the early 2000's). There were so many legends like Evan Vandetti, Superfly and Darryl Nau in attendance but Brad stuck out in my mind as someone to look out for. He was just a kid and holding his own against these older dudes on some big jumps and it was quite a sight to see, all in all Brad has been killing it since the early 2000's and its about time everyone outside of bmx see's how good he is and what he's capable of.

[@itskevinzerbe]

Back in 2010, I was living in San Francisco and stumbled onto Brad double-pegging up a handrail near Chinatown. As a BMXer, I knew him immediately and chatted for a sec before getting a quick pic and going on my way. Super chill guy. I'm stoked to see he's still at the top of the wonderful sport that is street bmx.

[@kkkk-wg6je]

What they said about doing things that no one else can do is so true. Truly mind blowing tricks.

[@andrewsiasparks]

One of my favourite riders! His IG posts are 🔥

[@Cra1g1380y]

Brad Simms. GOAT. 👏🏽🤘🏽

[@paulessdot2]

Ive seen many people do tyre rides on handrails but ive never seen anyone manual down one. This dude is on another level

[@bigben1986]

I'm an 80's 90's BMX rider and this guy is amazing!!!!!!!!

[@paullehrbmx]

I'm glad y'all did this, was all pretty much covered in the podcast but maybe this can reach more people. I love how BMX is a subculture all it's own outside of the rest of the cycling industry, but it's crazy how hard it is for someone as talented as Brad has always been to not have this breakout sooner. I see MTBers and road racers become household names but how many people know who Ruben is? Cheers to Brad for making it for all of us and showing what BMX is all about, hard work and determination.

[@christopherwallace131]

could watch this all day.. Mans too crazy

[@bmx4ever20]

Let’s Go!!!!

[@lukedeatley9480]

I grew up in the same town as Brad. One of my early childhood memories was riding with him as a young kid. Got to see what bmx was other then just jumping kickers on the sidewalk. This dude I’ve always looked up to

[@pokesly-az6280]

Wow..he does not talk about Himself...just amazing...and Gives..

[@SourPlanet]

Hell yeah 🤘🤘 Brad and Sean Burns been my favorite riders since the mid 2000s. It's all about attitude for me, and they're both just coming from the right place. Not to mention brutal riders taking chances absolutely no one else does. So glad Brad took off on IG. It's a stupid social thing but- as always- he saw an opportunity and worked it and look at him now. King Brad 👑

[@TheThemattyo1]

Bad Brad !!!......I'm 54 years old now and we were good in my day--late 70's all of the eighties) but if we would have ran into Brad , we would have thought that he was from another star system.

[@popeck27]

Wow impressive! So powerful riding!!

[@piechantangsu2421]

One of my favorite riders of all time. This dude has been to more countries than you have cities.

[@drfiting38]

Honestly besides Edwin, Brad has always been my go to rider for pushing to do better. I still have the its on video and to this day love his part. My dream is to someday atleast shake his hand for the inspiration that he has given me in life in general.

[@clementtyska3753]

Shout out to brad for keeping the dream of bmx alive

[@user-fs2pe2ox3z]

один из лучших bmx-еров последнего десятилетия bmx это далеко не спонсоры и награды... для многих это просто образ жизни... можно путешествовать и катать на разных спотах получая бесценный опыт... и при этом зажигать других...

Such a beast on the bike! Happy for you dude

[@raymondhawkins6314]

Wish Brad nothing but the best, met him in Durban South Africa late 2000's. Great guy.

[@versustires5494]

So good. Keep crushing it, Brad.

[@shrimshrimma1243]

Was really hyped when Brads first Unclicked came out. Then all that shit happened and was gutted that he'd signed with an MTB sponsor after just because it meant I didn't know how or where to find his clips (non insta user) Glad to see he's still killing it, who cares what bike he's on the guy is a beast whatever he's doing. Much respect Brad keep pushing boundaries! Thanks Our Bmx!

[@truckerjay8568]

When I first started riding when I was like 16 way back in highs school the first Bmx video I watched was animal can I eat and the Hoffman video with brad sims in it I was hooked I’m 31 now and still shredding great video brad sims is a legend.

[@drfiting38]

Wow that brought back so many memories. So glad to see him still at it and making it this far. Keep killing it brad❤

[@drokkr]

A living legend. Without a doubt an icon to BMX and to sport in general.

[@MrFreerideForever]

Say what I want about FMB? K lil' bikes & lil' jumps for lil' boys, big bikes & big jumps for big boys. The speeds are higher, the jumps are bigger, the riding is gnarlier, the bikes are more versatile, it's far more popular for good reason with much more money & travel ops than BMX. The great disruptor. The next step in evolution. Moving up in the world Brad, congrats. Your Real MTB parts will be insane! 🤙

[@forshurangelo2987]

YEEEEEEESSSSSSSS! LOVE YOU BRAD!

Good dude, appreciate his kind words. Shout out to Hoffman for their historical recruits, Day Smith made it all seem possible. I'll always have love for this tie.

I pray that his joints last a long long time cuz he is definetly one of the best just hard-core riders still out there doing some stuff that is unhuman.
