[@johnnydangerously9598]

I can not stress how much I love seeing this dude on the channel. Stoked and hope he comes back

[@Fishonabike]

Thank you both!

[@sketchman01]

He needs an invite to the next B.I.K.E. tournament for sure !

[@MyKeQuEsT]

😊hey shot out great video. Came across it by accident. I am I guess u would call old school rider. I wish I could still do the tricks he pulled on the video. Unfortunately the ground seems further away. And it takes a lot longer for me to heal now days. Love it wouldn't mind seeing more . I'm catching up on your vids as well as subscribing

[@Dave-kh3il]

Absolutely. Not sure of his age, but based on how he talks, we started around the same time in the 80s. I messaged him through IG with a bike question, and he was super cool. This channel is definitely motivating me to get back on a bike at age 55, though it will be all old school tricks lol. Love how the guys fully appreciate the old school riders and tricks too.

[@MyKeQuEsT]

Awesome I'll be 50 something as well this year... Love BMX. ( Flatland.)

[@azeraxosu3051]

Theres not much in today's BMX that'll make my jaw drop like this. Fish you are a legend on wheels!

[@steveleamont]

Any rider from the 80s was pulling these tricks - the fact he’s doing it almost 40 years later is kick ass!

[@Fishonabike]

@azeraxosu3051 I appreciate that so much!

[@Fishonabike]

​@@steveleamontHopefully I'll still be going 40 years from now.

[@andywebbzzz9999]

Fish absolutely killed it.

[@brycehamm8718]

Please keep Fish close to this channel.... this is amazing

[@scottbradford4130]

That lil kid just say "do not try that at home" 😂😂😂 8:57

[@AmalgamationofMan]

See lightning strike when you see Fish on a bike! I'll never forget that Bill Nye episode. He's a Seattle legend. Good to see you're still rolling Fish.

[@curtis-e]

theres nothing like Fish on a bike

[@jmaclover14]

That was actually tim Noah not Bill Nye

[@DWSOutdoors]

Scott I am so happy you have turned this channel into EVERYTHING BMX and keep adding in different eras of bike riding showing all the ways you can play on your bike!

[@NeopolitianNPLTN]

I LOVE THIS GUY! Oldschool flatland forever!!

[@lefty5680]

FISH! FISH! FISH! Scotty you are doing AMAZING things on this channel. From the looks of it, Fish inspired a little kid in the park to try his own trick 😆! This is what BMX is all about!!

[@nayfehn89]

Scotty's enthusiasm is palpable, dude clearly loves the sport

[@SD-unlimited]

This was awesome! Incredibly technical tricks performed by a pro. I was in awe seeing guys do this stuff in the 1980’s and am still blown away today.

[@JITLmeHARD]

If backwards rubber ride isn't the ultimate final blow in a game of bike idk what is, some serious bike control Fish damn

[@jamesovens4175]

I believe that the No Handed Hang Five thing is called The Fly. I remember a photo of it in an old magazine and that's what they called it. Loving the Flatland content Scotty. Fish is the man. Plywood Hoods forever!

[@fugitvontherun9624]

I love how stoked fish gets! Thats wicked. Props to him

[@Fishonabike]

Thank you!

[@blake_t2165]

Fish pulled everything! Awesome dude bringing us some BMX history and great riding too.

[@MaverickQuadrijet]

Oldschool rider here. I love riding the same way Fish does. Keep the sport alive!

[@Fishonabike]

Yes! Let's goooo!

[@Aiden4130]

@@Fishonabike I feel like I remember you from a magazine ad in the late 80's or early 90's? Is that true? Who did you ride for?

[@Fishonabike]

@@Aiden4130 I kinda rode for Redline. I say kinda because I worked for the company that owned Redline bikes at the time, Seattle Bike Supply. In the mid 90s they started a new line of BMX bikes and they hooked me up with bikes while I gave them my feedback on how the felt. They used me in the Redline advertising for a couple years. They also owned a safety gear company called Pryme and featured me in a few ads for them as well.

[@collegegymgains1012]

Scott I love how you're showing riders of all styles ride, not just new school riders.

[@danielklever2760]

He keeps being all humble and then doing the most insane thing ever

[@garrybutterfieldfilms4501]

Sign him up ! I love fish !!!! Pay the man enough to quit his job and tour with you guys ! Matty ripping new school tricks, fish bringing the nostalgia (I’m an 80s baby) I love it ! Cheers boys ❤ from down under 🇦🇺

[@keyrone77]

That rubber rides like something off a video game, awesome dude

[@steveleamont]

Reverse is crazy!

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

At 56 years old I was just starting out back in '85. Aaron Dull?! I haven't thought about him in a VERY LONG TIME. We rode every weekend together for years. He was mad talented. I miss the old days. Still have my Hoffman TAJ from 94.

[@Larry-rz4ed]

My Hero was Eddie Fiola ☝️😎

[@mikefawcett5596]

I'm 42 and was big into BMX from the early 90's to about 2005. I used to have a Condor but traded it at some point. Still have a Dirt Bike, Trail Boss and STA hanging up in the basement. One of my coolest memories was seeing Taj and Joe Rich riding Lot 8 at Woodard.

[@MrBri_Guy]

Hes so good! Super entertaining to watch! He did a great job, real cool dude. I want to see him go back to that backwards grip ride and land it. You got this!

[@1hipcrip771]

Bro! Skills!!! That’s my era. I started BMX right about the same time on the east coast!!! Thanks for the memories!

[@johnbaines4908]

Fish. Legend.

[@blakemcduffy5599]

I hope the next time you see this man, You let him know that every single one of your viewers loved every second of that . And would like to see him again 💪

[@user-mo9zu9ri7d]

gotta love the old school riders they paved the way

[@Smoshi]

This dude is crazy good. Thank you for showing us these flat tricks.

[@Fishonabike]

You are welcome!

[@odourlessstar136]

The no hand vader is absolutely nuts 🤘🤘 much love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 also 11/01/1987 best day to be born ❤

[@kyleheaser351boombaby]

This was so awesome!! Love this. My favorite flatland riding I've ever seen was Day Smith on the Hoffman Bikes Testimonies video back in 2002. No crazy spins, just smooth, flow, relaxed stylish. Fish crushed it here. I'd say the elbow manual was my favorite with the no handed hang five tire scuff a close second.

[@Fishonabike]

Day Smith was definitely one of my favorite riders. Such an original and distinctive style. No one rode like him.

[@garythurston3927]

I love how you guys keep dropping the old school bmx bikes on this channel!! We need a regular Fish episode, he needs his own Old School BMX channel!!!!

[@jonnyrogers3789]

Flatland is a forgotten art!

[@vinniejudilla3921]

I feel like a kid watching him go. I'll be 50 this year and my 87 haro freestyler fst is long gone and I think about it everyday.

[@antdod1]

Damn I want more of fish these sort of tricks are what made me fall in love with BMX as a kid

[@cyberlingbot3d896]

this gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "teach a man to fish" 🤘

[@JoelArseneaultYouTube]

This is incredible on so many different levels. There are so many different styles / types of riding, and this in my mind is at the top of the pile for skill and technical abilities required. I rode trials for a few years, and I would say flat land and elite trials riders have the most insane skills. Any BMX rider should be able to appreciate how much balance and bike feel these tricks take. Awesome !

[@Fishonabike]

Trials is such a cool discipline; so much skill involved.

[@JoelArseneaultYouTube]

@@Fishonabike I agree. I rode urban trials for about 3-4 years back around 2003 - 2007. I was light years away from mastering it, but the feeling of accomplishment was hard to compare to anything else. I have ridden XC, DH, BMX and unicycle, and trials always gave me that "you're doing something special" feeling.... Same thing with the unicycle, but with a lot more people laughing and humming circus music at you.

[@JoelArseneaultYouTube]

@@Fishonabike When I wrote that response, I didn't catch onto your name, haha. Well done sir ! Incredible talent. Most of what you do, I can't wrap my head around

[@thebodybeatdownDiTi]

Again so glad i grew up in the beginnings of freestyle. YEP i was not good at all..BUT i had passion and loved riding my BMX. Even kept it in my bedroom. NOTHING will be greater than literally anything in the 80s..

[@bunyan4.20]

Dang that dude Fish is dope and those trick so sick i loved it great video and showing of old school BMX would love to see more from Fish

[@boostenmkiv]

What a legend!

[@OntherockNL]

Absolute LEGEND

[@peepineyes]

What a great rider.😎👍

[@SilentGloves]

You just love to see it. Old school flatland is a different level.

[@sockpuppettheatre8861]

That was absolutely awesome. Thank you, guys

[@JustinPivinski-cm2rh]

Big fan of the old school. Hope he keeps coming back on the channel.

[@xpndblhero5170]

I love doing stuff like this when riding street because people don't know what to think of it.... Some old riders will say something but most people have no idea that BMX is even a thing so it's cool to have people come up and ask questions. BMX4LIFE ❤

[@clombardi1256]

We need Matty to try these. Especially the no handed hang 5

[@jimblake1584]

Awesome stuff!!! Old school represent!!!👍

[@TopFloorEricc]

I’d love to see more of this artsy old-school stuff get mixed in with the more dynamic modern stuff. These old-school dudes have a lot of style. Love this guy 💯

[@jayjayfrank]

Old school is awesome.

[@leonschneider3551]

Man the positivity and enthusiasm in this video is just so infectious! Thank you guys for that

[@vucko2885]

First time seeing a backward bar ride. Dude needs to make his own channel! He has skills and old-school insight that I’m sure he’d like to share more of and many of us would like to hear.

[@steveleamont]

Loveeeeee G Turn!!!! My right ankle would get smashed back in the day cracking hard into it!

[@scottbradford4130]

Fakie grip ride was epic

[@bradycate2959]

Fish is an absolute legend!! Didn’t even know some of these tricks were possible 🤯

[@jrvega9559]

The channel definitely needed someone like Fish in it!! I love old school riding and it’d be amazing to keep Fish or other old school rider to come on the channel more often. This what BMX is all about

[@marvelous1987]

duuuuuude ...i am watching this video for the third time in a row now and still can't get my head around it. Fish is such an inspiration an absolute mad man, especially for older riders getting back on the bike, like me. Ride on !!

[@Fishonabike]

I appreciate that, thank you!

[@amandajeanbmx]

the no handed hang-5 vader thingamabob was incredible!!!! definitely on my bucket list of tricks. so sick

[@ryanbaillie5009]

Epic Flashback. 🙏 Thanks guy's and Fish, a moment like that is what it was all about. Youre the Man!

[@mrantdog]

Damn you Scotty. Now I have to build my flatland bike before the race bike. Lol

[@junka1975]

Fish just showed us all why old school will always live to be old school cool, that was totally awesome and I realise I have no skills whatsoever but I will not stop riding. 😎 👍 Thanks Scotty for having Fish on the channel and thanks Fish for being so awesome!

[@Fishonabike]

You're welcome!

[@kchez5586]

So funny that Mid-school is now old school. Us old guys gotta hold it down! Got two years to hit the 60+ Freestylers club! Fish is still rad as F - I remember him from the mid 90's when he was on Redline.

[@jbkibs]

Love it! This reminds me of 80-90's. What a time to be a kid... Fish is phenomenal!

[@BoSSLeVeLs]

As a kid The flatland guys would blow my mind The control they had with a BMX was crazy

[@darrelllockard2107]

Finally a trick Scotty hasn’t seen or know the name of that dude literally knows every trick I think

[@SCABRFB]

Seeing freestyle as a kid about 25 years ago, made me want a bmx bike. Finding out how hard it was made me just ride bmx instead. I love seeing content like this!

[@hecrockusandmorikus3744]

Bringing back memories. I used to have a Haro freestyler, a Hutch Trickstar, a Quadangle, a Redline Rl-22, a Gt-Pro performer, and a PK ripper. I loved all my bikes and could only do half of what that dude did. The 80s Rocked!!

[@hectic6981]

It's awesome to see an "old dude" hold onto his passion for something like this. Makes me want to dust off my skateboard and get out there. Well done Fish keep it up!

[@wmlong6172]

These last couple videos with Fish in them have been my favorites by far! It brings back a lot of good memories of my bmx days!

[@Mediocre00Rebel]

Scotty sounds so genuine.

[@pedrorodriguez7122]

Dude thank you so much. Variety in your channel is much appreciated. I’d like to ask for a big bowl riding session. Please! Thank you.

[@arielgarcia8377]

Dude I've been getting into old school BMX just recently and I recognize this man is a BEAST!! Hope to see him more often

[@IsNoGood4uM1kkel]

We need more videoes with the flatland dude

[@spivak74]

Awesome seeing these old school flatland tricks and Fish did an amazing job! I notice older guys get back to flatland lately. glad to say I'm one of them. keep doing these king of video's. kudos Scotty and Fish!

[@bramdriessens5942]

This guy is my age and he is pulling those tricks like hes 18. Bravo! Greetings and much respect from the netherlands

[@nonename7869]

I'm 48 and echo this sentiment 💯

[@jacksonfromm8365]

Fish is awesome, and he’s soo good on a bike. Such crazy hard tricks it’s cool to see a guy who’s been in the sport as long as he has. And you can tell with skill like that.

[@gertmzazi7701]

Great guy(s) for putting this one ☯️❤️💪🏼

[@shadyvito]

That's for always remembering us old guys! Now I want to see Matty try a Gumby. I think it will be hysterical.

[@goiboi-4130]

Classic stuff

[@JimmyNuisance]

Love it love it love it! Flatland is so cool, fish is also just a rad dude. I could watch this all day long.

[@3mta3]

You can tell when someone is genuine and that’s Scotty. Stay real bro.

[@nikitis13]

Where's this man been hiding!?? More of it! That Haro BMX is so cool.

[@IsNoGood4uM1kkel]

I have waited for this 🔥

[@frodoadventure1]

Thank you for bringing back all the memories of the days when I was learning flatland freestyle BMX!

[@johnsolovera6993]

It’s so awesome and jaw dropping everything he does, it makes you wonder what our bmx will look like in 40 years because it’s like going back in time.

[@richardclark8970]

Would be awesome to have Fish and a new school flatland rider do a game of BIKE!

[@Fishonabike]

I'd probably have a hard time with it... scuffing is ingrained in my style. A new school rider would hit some switch-hand turbined pump rolling bar-flip combo and I'd be toast. lol

[@xandercain8294]

Love seeing my uncle do tricks! 😁❤️

[@Fishonabike]

❤ Love you!

[@LazyDaysPlays]

nothing can beat the skill and tech of flatland its so good

[@caseface2645]

Wow incredible, love the flatland stuff and Fish is awesome!! Would love to see more of him❤

[@kva30s]

Heck yeah Scotty great video!!! You and Fish did an awesome job! I bet riding flatland bmx really helps Fish stay in shape and maintain good balance and coordination. Fish is an older rider but he can still bang out some awesome tricks on that Haro. Very enjoyable to watch. Most people who watch this video will watch it more than once. I know I will. Thanks again guys!

[@thefridaynightcrew1319]

great riding fish thanks scotty im 50 in may still ride my bmx great to see more old but gold rad as//////

[@nonename7869]

I'm 48, my friends who still love old school BMX are 48 and 50... Stay Rad brother!

[@RomanMoroniesFargingWall]

Thank you, Fish! Incredible bike and body control. I cannot imagine having that type of balance. Also, was that Frazier casually throwing a 720 in the background?

[@pjcruiser1]

I'm an old schooler that loves watching the Scotty channel. I love it when they try some of the old school stuff but get frustrated when they don't quite have the correct steps to get it done. So cool to have someone like this to show what old combined with some new can look like. Is he on the museum and what name on there?

[@Fishonabike]

Yes... I'm not there too often, but for any social media or web forum I am Fishonabike or Fishonabike43.

[@pdg421972]

Love watching Fish ride! I remember riding with him and a couple of our other friends in an old Albertsons parking lot and him pulling a long rubber ride all the way across the parking lot them attempting to roll it through a Jack in the Box drive thru! He didn't quite pull it off through the drive thru but in his defense that turn into it was very sharp. Love ya buddy! BLEAH!

[@Fishonabike]

Yo, Rickus! I forgot about that one. Love ya back!🤘 Bleah!

[@terriblesarcasm]

Could have watched him pull tricks all day, super sick!

[@bevestush]

I went down a nostalgia trip the other day and watched the movie "Rad" again. I had forgotten that the front pegs were fork mounted, not axle mounted. That makes a huge difference for front leaning tricks, I'm sure.

[@donniespears3226]

That dump truck and backwards rubber ride was EPIC!!!😅😝👍👍

[@rticblue2843]

Me and my brother would watch" Rad "and "BMX bandits" it would get us all hyped up and ready to ride.

[@churchclothes1]

I witnessed Fish ride a hang five full speed in the rain at a Mat Hoffman show. He just borrowed one of their bikes and went nuts. He has some serious hang five skills.

[@quincydread5204]

Damn man seeing this brought tears to my eyes.. so cool seeing someone around my age still doing these kind of tricks.. I never got good, but I always wanted to learn flatland tricks, wish I had actually stuck with it and never gave up. Now i really have to restore this old school Dyno i have, if fot no other reason than just to have it looking prime.

[@ShadLife]

Hucker definitely has the grip ride record. This dude shreds! Old skool flatland should live on forever!

[@TexasTimelapse]

That little kid is coming for ya Fish! 😂

[@imdbtruth]

Unbelievably amazing talent! Love that bike too! Brings back so many memories! I was never good like that, but boy I wanted to be!
