Perry Mervar // Ride Like A Man // 1990

[@LoneWolfed]

He retired way too soon. Would have liked to see him ride a solid 10 more years after this.

Ya i feel like he had way more in his tank!

[@MARLEYDIDIT]

he made a controversial comeback at the 1999/2000 xgames … then quit again

[@rodneybowcock3598]

I think he may have done some shows for GT around the time he started competing again. The controversy was that he had no new tricks and just basically did the same routines that you see here, but placed high because the judges were only looking for touches.

[@SnakebiteBMX]

I do remember that! Did he place? I can't remember if he did?

[@rodneybowcock3598]

@@SnakebiteBMX I don’t think he placed top 3 but did fairly well. Weird thing is, these runs would still get tons of applause in shows. I see both sides for competition as someone who never competed in pro.

Great riding and great song!
