Very honored by this Scotty and Matty. Thanks!

[@airgunshooterssyndicate103]

bro i rode in the mid 80s so i was way past my time when you were out there but let me say your one of the top rides ever in my top 3 thank you for many enjoyable moments

[@DerpDerpityDerp]

No way.. it's you! You're such a legend man.. 😮 my buddies and I watched that DVD before riding all day. Thank you for making BMX So special to so many people.

[@davidobrien1]

I think you should choose the next rider and video part for matty to try and recreate! 👍🏼

[@RoPEK123xd]

amazing riding, aged well

[@calvindenzmorejr3088]

My dude I have always loved the way you ride. Very original. You're dope bro.

[@anthonydecker8925]

Prince matty yet again proving he can do anything he actually tries. Wish he’d enter another contest. Truly

[@sitlong1]

We need matty at xgames with his scotty covering his run

[@nickymac6598]

Matty can’t ride in comps anymore because of his modelling contracts. If he gets injured he can’t model at London fashion week or the ones in NYC or Milan. Austin Augie hooked him up 👌🏽

[@fraq]

love these tech-y tricks. matty does them so well, wish he would do stuff like this more frequently!

[@junka1975]

Honestly Matty did that so well. Taj, thanks for inspiring Matty and Scotty to pull out your best tricks from that edit and create this video. It was one of the best ones yet. Matty, watch this video again, you did good, really, really good. 😎👍 I still love the fact Scotty got just the right amount of trash talk in to help Matty in his journey to awesomeness.

[@tbtron]

down whip to disaster to revert was so clean, Matty!!

[@markfeldman4802]

It was insane. Just needed a fisheye

[@ThunderWarrior77]

this really shows Matty's insane talent 💪💯

[@hungrylawrence]

anyone that was good on a bike in my area wanted to ride like Taj. Huge inspiration to everyone in the sport.

[@alleng332]

Matty is exceptional at learning new old tricks so fast 😎🤙🏼

[@bentbird]

So cool seeing Matty doing these. I hope to see all these in his daily riding.

[@adZHARRISON]

YOU GUYS ARE GREAT - Thanks for all your videos - Matty is amazing , a natural

[@MrBri_Guy]

I love videos like this they’re so fun to watch, Matty did real good on every single one of those tricks

[@LS-vg1bk]

Yessir love these classics videos with the mid school best school!!!🔥🔥🔥

[@staticausgamer6486]

Taj is a beast! His style was so unique. We always knew our minds were about to be blown when a new Taj clip came out.

[@SKEC212]

Do a bunch more of these type videos. Very fun to watch. Go matty!

[@adam.521]

Heck yeah right on Matty hats off you naild it. Keep on rocking BMX brother

[@therealcaliswaggonpoint6457]

Matty always killing it great job bro

[@ShadLife]

Taj was definitely one of my favorite riders from back in the day.

[@Simplytanner]

Matty handled this like the pro he is. Made it look easy. Much love to Taj!

[@oprazi4927]

a vid of matty attempting tricks from some of scotty’s old vids would be pretty awesome. if you’d guys haven’t done it already!

[@zubrhero5270]

That's crazy... When you were talking about the brakeless legends in one of the last videos, I started reminiscing about the old great BMX parts, and this was the first to spring to mind. I knew you were talking about Taj Mihelich just from that thumbnail. When I saw that part for the first time, I was like "that's it! that's my move! I'm gonna make THIS my entire thing!" I used to do footplant, fastplant... whatever-plant... basically kick off any object into a trick because of this video. One of my favourite tricks to do was to lean back and really snap the BMX into an upright manual position, step off the back with my back foot and in one motion like a "boneless"/"no comply" hop up into a trick _usually because the bike was "escaping from me"... a seat-grab barspin._

[@zubrhero5270]

Also... for some reason, if a guy had dreads at some point in the 90s, they were way up there as my favourite for some reason lol. Good ole 90s. Joe Rich, Nate Wessel, Taj had dreads at some point, same with Troy McMurray.

[@Ozerex]

Matty killing it as usual 🔥🔥🔥

[@Jester68uk]

Great riding Matty, really enjoyed it.

[@nolanfoster15dagoat]

the “haven’t seen you like this since you watched cops” was so good 😭😭

[@allenroughton]

Loved this video! Hope to see way more of these kinds of challenges.

[@skicr8zguy]

Nice work. I love the side by side videos.

[@RomanMoroniesFargingWall]

I love downwhips so much, man.

[@rollintuff]

Hell yeah Matt!! That was tough as nails!!

[@HAMMER_2.2]

This needs to be a series with all the legndary midschool video parts!!

[@flyinsaucer138]

i liked this before i watched it, respect to Taj

[@ZhenqiTV]

Matty is a machine the way he gets tricks done! 🦾🤖

[@zachisaacs8018]

This was awesome to see forward was my first VHS when I was nine

[@hackisack]

Not many tries if you think about it. The OG rider probably had those tricks dialed perfectly before doing the video part. Matty is so talented! Love these tech Trick videos.

[@DoubleJ-o1989]

Honor matt Beringer

[@DWSOutdoors]

Taj style done right!

[@airgunshooterssyndicate103]

ill argure with anyone matty will be remembered as on of the best of all time in the future

[@matthewcrampton5523]

Nice video, Taj was one of my favorite riders… bought the new Hoffman Taj release recently to get back into riding

[@StoneAquatics]

Matty is such a beast

[@60ftkingyahurd]

Down whip to tire tap would be crazy and Matt can easily do it

[@adhawk5632]

I heard him gasp when he seen that trick in your vid, you could tell he was stoked, the couch tricks that is👍👌🇦🇺Taj was it back then

[@Makethemsayoyvey]

great video. maybe consider Van Homans Criminal mischief part

[@robalexanderofficial]

Matty is too clean 🧼

[@DavidParker]

The 180 downwhip disaster revert was so nice

[@dangerdave5921]

Matt Beringer’s little devil criminal mischief part! Some cool tricks.

[@xtaticego]

There was some awesome riding in Little Devil Seek&Destroy

[@girlthatloves2sk8]

This is awesome! Love the old school and creativity. Wish i still lived in Orlando so I could come out and see you guys! Where is this park? And why is no one at the beauty! I come from a state where the parks have horrible ground and pre fab metal ramps :(

[@edtank7687]

Van Homan - Holy Fit awesome part!

[@thebodybeatdownDiTi]

Nice work Matty

[@justinyates1154]

I wanna see Matty pull one of Spencers specials, a double tire 180 double tire, oh and cant forget the bar out

[@bermchasin]

one hander rail ride to one handed bar

[@justinyates1154]

@bermchasin even he hasn't brought that to a rail successfully yet lol!

[@1Life_FITS]

Next video based on your tricks Scotty ?? Sorry Matty. Sick riding bro 👊 awesome video !!

[@jedijakobi8978]

Matty should start a classic redo tricks channel/shorts. 2 min clips showing Matty attempting to pull off forgotten classics..

[@beatarcheologzt]

Matty works full time on Scottys channel. He already did his own channel thing but working for Scott pays the bills

[@Taylor_Gang1]

Beast Matty. Fun video boi’s

[@Legoman585]

Bring in the couch. Matty new, we need the couch.

[@TiagoMarques-z7j]

That was such a fantastic video. Taj is definitely an OG. Please try to recreate Vic Murphy's curb tabletop or honor Ruben "pollo" Alcantara!! Amazing content Scottie and riding Matt !!

[@kotix720p9]

Merry Bmxas Boys

[@darrellficken1433]

This might be a very basic trick list for Matty, but I would like to see Matty replicate the entire trick list Dave Mirra did on the trick tips video he did way back in the day with Nyquist. I wish I could remember the year off the top of my head but that is what ultimately got me into BMX. The Dave Mirra trick tips video.

[@michaelrizzi6448]

Go get the sofa in the woods already…haha awesome edit guys…cheers from Long Island ny

[@TubeandJar]

I would like to see Matty do a few tricks back to back on a vert ramp. You could honor someone like Matt Hoffman, Dave Mirra, Simon Tabron, etc...

[@ballodium9358]

thanks guys.

[@younggotti8195]

Now we need to see Matty do a 1 hand downside tail whip over a box jump like taj

[@cattalkbmx]

I miss riding Ramp Ranch.

[@solohour]

It's an "alley oop". Does it ever bother anyone else that Scotty always calls it an "Ollie oop", or is it just me? 😂

[@SliderMermerli-k5i]

loved the video thanks ^^

[@martintuson]

Hello Scotty from accross the pond in Northern Ireland. I saw some of the olschool videos. What about having having Matty and some of the guys having a fronthop comp on pedals. Trying to do fronthops whilst standing on the back pegs and trying to go backwards on front wheel whilst doing fronthops. I do all these in my demos. Keep up the great work

[@anthonybalestrieri1035]

Dude Matty is Good!

[@xrobfrankx]

I remember being a kid when this come out and trying to figure our that sofa fastplant downside wip and the bike flip for like an entire summer.

[@jonlavigne3270]

Next up: Paul Osicka's part from Standard Country.

[@brandonribeiro7809]

Roof top 🤘 mike

[@DWSOutdoors]

Brian Vowell hang 5 everything 🤣 Matt Beringer anything he did from the beginning till just recently! Rick Moliterno anything he has done on his Margarita ramps or prior! Hell anyones style from Road Fools 8 would give you enough things to film for a year!

[@Ryan_honest]

"You got another one" reminds me of the old days of this channel. "Another One" lol

[@OLI-vx1md]

Heck yeh dudes, great video Thanks guys 🤘

[@peterjarvis7335]

I would love to see Marty honor the great Dave Mirra!

[@FuwaFuwaOfficial]

I too would like to see Matty land a flair on a vert ramp, double flip a box then session a kinked street handrail on the same day. Y'know, regular Mirra things 😀

[@PhilCarey-s9v]

Mike aitken electronical best video part to date 🙌

[@Elrigger]

Looks like Matty has got a few new tricks to pull out on the next game of bike

[@16valvehate]

One foot tabe mani was fire. Did you see the pedal back from taj in his version

[@隠れた花]

I can’t stand the way Scott calls it Ollie oop lol

[@G59-r7t]

Nice vid Scott

[@hamishholden2922]

Nice!

[@gladlawson61]

The best taj tailwhips u will ever see is in props best of 95.

[@OGTubs]

I would love to see a video about Ron Wilkerson. Ron of haro and 2hip ❤

[@EdK-ux6xq]

Since matty has the front brakes, how about trying some mike dinello style tricks, loved his tricks in OSS front brake brethren

[@123lowkey]

The bike flip is an underrated trick.

[@InfamousTactical]

Try some of Dave freimuths lip tricks. He was masterful

[@charlesdemar9612]

Best table on dirt is by far Mr. Fuzzy hall!!!! Brian Foster has some beasts too..

[@heartlessplague]

You guys should try to do a video where Matty does all the tricks that he didn’t want to try before on previous videos of games of bike; where he just took a letter instead

[@OREGONized]

Beringer. You toured with him. You know him. I met both of you on your tour to the northwest and witnessed you doing the Kennedy rail in Eugene. If you’re doing another video like this. Beringer

[@jimjambmx1872]

Ultimate challenge: Mike Aitken - Anthem 2 😂

[@2thejoshua]

EAST COAST TERMINAL Binghamton NY CLIPS 🤙🤘

[@briandugan4054]

Van Homan - Criminal mischief

[@adhawk5632]

Rip Thunderdome, taj's skatepark that the earthquake ended👍👌🇦🇺

[@dieseldabz7104]

Dylan Stark perhaps. I know he is big into the MTB scene but also shreds on a BMX bike, think he used to ride with Ryan Torrance.

[@fallenshallrise]

Taj is left foot forward so that was a switch-footed one-foot table to a regular manual with a half back crank. Still cool though. ;D

[@neonnerd1364]

You guys should check out Steve Questa. He's a local pro in my area. The dude is insane on a bike.

[@thomasmelo9819]

I'm certain Tajs bike was a lot heavier then also. Remember those old chain wheels lol

[@steveaustin6786]

Rooftop Mike escimilla

[@steveaustin6786]

Dave osato Jim cilenski

[@ThunderWarrior77]

I don't understand how you can do a switch manual. do you just put your opposite foot forward while you manual ?

[@justinyates1154]

Yup, it's harder than it seems

[@justinyates1154]

Yup, it's more difficult than you would think

[@Banana-rg9pz]

Yea, "switch" is uselly the short form for "switch footed". But a lot of people use "switch" and "oppo" interchangeably, so I understand the confusion

[@bermchasin]

tbf, for proper midschool, shouldnt matty be riding a cassette instead of a coaster?

[@robertbeard2078]

Any of the webisodes would be sick or harry mania feel like they might need to be done a Woodward or somewhere with a pit but would be cool

[@MikeKrueger-c7k]

Woop wooo

[@Pro-TechServices]

Leigh Ramsdell

[@SolemnStacker]

Etnies Forward had some great songs. The Fucking Champs, The Adolescents, Obituary, among other bands.
