1993 was the peak of civilization

[@Steven-mo3zr]

We're gonna drink some beer ,smoke some pot,smoke some coke, I still have this video , I love the slow mo parts,the music, everything,early to mid 90s videos were the best

[@GolfSux]

The older I get the more I respect Moeller. He's so awesome. I have always tried to have a couple S&M parts on my bikes.

I burned this VHS out when I was 17!!!! And now I am 44 something and back riding!

[@jasonellis2129]

19:49 blastin dirt jumps to frank black doing x up tables, im 16 years old and this got me more pumped and stoked than anything else nowadays, just wish more kids my age would appreciate this generation we built our sport off of! s&m for life!

[@crujones4046]

[@radkesrods1184]

haros built it bro. with out bob and his bikes we wouldnt have never gotten gnarly. sm is a ripoff. poser sht wanna bes and trytoohards rock that shit

[@Steven-mo3zr]

Dude ,that cliff jump on the dover section is serious,

[@opengnosis8555]

This played everyday in my V....C.....R.....! This is what set riding off again in those days in my opinion! There was that dead era after the GT, Haro, Mongoose, Redline, PK, Ect era of neon, racing, and selling out... Bikes were light, broke after one bunny hop. Forks, headtubes, cranks... All broke if you dropped the bike.. S&M came out with the fat drop outs, headtube gussets, pitchfork, ditchfork, grind sticks, ect.. Riders just wanted to ride street and bigger jumps! Back before rhythm sections... When you would go to the bike shop and look up high on the wall and aee that S&M frame and fork... Those 3 piece cranks behind the glass... The HP 48 rims, with sealed catridged bearings, crome... So you can use 990's...bending the brake lever for 1 finger action... Hells Yes! S & F...ing M!!!

[@d4t4b4s3f4c3]

Been waiting about 30 years to see this. Too broke to purchase it this whole time. Worth the money! And the wait. Anybody got the whole episode of Jane Pratt

[@Paul-666]

44 Something is one of if not The Most amazing BMX videos ever made. So raw and so brilliant in every single way.

[@radkesrods1184]

you never seen taj ride then, hes better than all these rookies combined

[@thedirtheadshed]

I love seeing the old footage of Mission Trails. I rode there every week during these years. It was so cool being a 13 year old kid and getting to hit the trails with riders like these legends.

[@jdmbeaner182]

I find it insane how much BMX has changed in the last 20 years.

[@smiley37greg]

this video brought back so many memories, I bought a Holmes frame in '92 and started digging lips into every hill in my home town. We used to pay to race just so we could blast off the "big" set of doubles or whatever the track had, Chris Mueller and Dave Clymer were my idols

[@patrickchanning2801]

This is the first bmx video I ever saw back in the day I must have been like 10 years old I must have watched this like 1000 times and I used to sing all the songs haha back then I had a haro shredder then changed to an s&m dirt bike when I got older awesome video thanks for uploading brings back some good memories haha

[@brandonlizzle523]

Sounds like my timeline! Went from Shredder to Dirt Bike to Next Gen Dirt Bike. Ahh the good ol days.

[@viejochase]

Same here man!! we were pbbly watching it at the same time hehe awesome!

[@mickreynolds3065]

Awesome vid! My brother brought this home from the snowboard factory he was working at up in Washington state, and somehow it made it into my rotation. I've had it ever since, and it's always inspirational and educational. From the riding, to the music, and Moeller's description on the Jane Pratt show of how the hardest part of his day is deciding where his facial hair ends and his chest hair begins, this video is the complete package of 90s bmx attitude.

[@stephenfrancis303]

I heard about op ivy from this video at 11 and gorilla biscuts. I got the gorilla biscuts bmx jersey at 42.. also i realized you guys used the song clean cut american kid before crusty 3 travis pastrana part s&m always the innovator

[@brandonlizzle523]

Been out of BMX for awhile but always repped S&M! Thanks for everything, and wish the Next Gen Dirt Bike was still available!

[@genomeisotope3711]

Cool to see this again! A bunch of friends and I used to mail order bikes and parts from these guys back in those days.You couldnt get anything near that quality, at the time, in Canada.Really strong reliable bikes.I still ride an S+M 24.

[@radkesrods1184]

you couldnt get quality in 93 other than sm? LIAR. or stupid

[@janilsonmetal]

[@XFTP5150]

Amazing reminds me of when. Was younger at the trails and it’s great not one kid has a cell phone on them

[@jessebellfontaine6383]

[@Gouki4130]

[@dynamike7108]

[@19thestuff82]

Been trying for years to find out who sings that song. Still no luck

[@kingbender4164]

​​Hey mate the song is called I Am Right. Sonic Youth are doing this cover, but it was originally recorded by Saccharine Trust on a 12" 45 called Paganicons. Hope this helps. Stay Rad!!!​@@19thestuff82

[@agusglauber]
