RUBEN ALCANTARA - ETNIES FORWARD

[@jjclasicas]

The man who reinvented the midschool BMX.

[@joshua2809]

My favourite bmx section of all time god bless that man.

[@Infilade]

Ruben changed BMX...He changed it from crazy 4 peg dudes hucking them selves to Style and finesse that we have today...I looked up so much to this dude growing up ridning.

[@accursedomega9662]

Ruben Alcantara was one of the best BMX riders in history!

[@LSluaP]

"is" not "was". And Maybe "the" not "one of the"!

[@Kimoki313]

I had a poster on my wall of him table topping out of a wall ride. For years I had no idea how he'd managed to get so damn high off the pavement. Then a mate told me he was fucking awesome at wall rides and I spotted the wall he'd just come off.

[@damagedgoodsbmx]

This is so epic! Im just reminded of the first time I ever saw this video. I'm really glad that this was one of the first BMX videos I ever saw years ago. The wallrides he does over the fence and the door over the rails is epic as fuck!

[@mfpv_detroit8182]

Best of all time in that era on street

[@kenolson6098]

Probably the best natural bike rider of all time ..... the Rodney Mullen of the BMX world

[@kennybmx]

[@strikingpythons]

this video part was the biggest inspiration for my riding...back in 2002 I saw the vid premiere in cologne at the worlds, it was awesome to hang around with nearly the complete etnies team...fast with style!!! Song: Built to Spill - Stab

[@petergoldammer3595]

I was there to. Was it the year when John Heaton nails Backflips to Tailtaps / Fufs / Abus on the Quarter? I was standing 1 Meter besidethe ramp. Crazy time.

El padre de Chase Hawk.

[@xman402]

the original version of sean burns...

[@cyester]

Anyone else worried that most future riders are only going to be grinding a foot off the ground and going a couple of miles per hour. I feel like that's whats getting popular and I just think that's so fucking boring to watch.
