Adam you NEED TO DO SEAN BURNS

[@linuchida]

ADAM, This is what exactly what we wanna see. I don't care about pornstars and "viral" tiktokers. We need bikers and rappers on the show. Thanks for this one

[@markcurry3083]

Real rappers too, not these shit little gangbangers who can mumble out a few lines on a sick beat after chugging a liter of lean

[@drewbladen1668]

Totally disagree. We love the pornstars and we can’t get enough of women like Blu Jasmine. Lin Uchida please stop lying!

This will probably fly over alot of people's radar, but as a BMX kid growing up this was one of those beasts we all looked up to

No shit he is wild

[@schavira1013]

That nose manual in Vancouver? Longest one I had seen by a street rider at the time, then Ian fakie manuals that pad. Good Times!

[@AnaximanderHannan]

I remember when his emerald green DAK frame came out with fit and I saved and saved to get that. Chase hawk and DAK are my biggest influences

[@markcurry3083]

@@schavira1013 I remember when at 10-20 foot nose manual was absolutely insane! Now we got guys like Courage Adams or chad Kerley doing hundreds of feet or curved ledges or up of down ledges

[@lildeathdream]

Powerful ass rider. You’d think bruh was sailing a boat not riding a bike!

[@rickydangler]

This where adam shines imo. Be the one that Dakota was talkin about like being the spokesman for our sport. Adam always talk about bmx still being his biggest passion well lets get bmx to the level skating is.

[@pifficus1]

no. bmx does not need to be like skateboarding

[@Bangbangb]

Both fucking lame

[@rickydangler]

@@pifficus1 if you want your favorite brands to live on you want the popularity that comes with skateboarding. The whole keep shit underground talk needs to disapear. Been riding for 20 plus years and the sport needs to have more exposure to stay alive. I say that because alot of older riders are what keeps the underground mentality goin and we need to get away from that mindset. All opinions so feel free to go with an open mind on. Im open to hearing why you think its bad for bmx to gain more exposure. Thats what i meant when i said it needs to get to skateboarding level

[@charliechrumlish2191]

Adam is one step away from adult diapers. 🤣

For BMX culture to grow with youth is another Banger of a movie is needed. The movie R.A.D inspired me to pursue BMXing as a Teen in in 96 and that movie was made in 85. Great convo fellas

[@SlugLord424]

Mean! Finally some sick content This dude rules !

[@jaishammer1]

YES! Tapped instantly - burnt my food, my kid shit on the floor, my boss called and i didnt answer it, missed picking up new contacts for my wife - doesnt matter! Had to watch this - thank you Adam!

[@alzg3984]

😂😂😂

[@t_ford]

Dakota was my top 3 when I used to ride. It seems he never ages when I watch his clips.

[@liammoodyfilms]

Dakota Roche is honestly underrated as fuck. I was like 10 when I saw my first Dak video starting out riding BMX. I’m 25 now and dude still is as good as he was when I was 10.

[@adrianellis4564]

Edwin Delarosa, Jason Enns, Dakota, Vic Ayala and Dakota Roche goats of this shit right here! This brought me back. Dakota rides with hella power! Fire thx for this!!

[@TrevorCanToo]

THANK YOY ADAM & DAK! The Real real OG nojumper fans are all stoked about this. I wasnt ready for this gem

[@charliechrumlish2191]

LoL no jumper fans. Fkin hippies

[@blkovt2200]

Bring more riders on man! I know they probably don’t bring as many views as rappers but I miss this shit and it’s great to hear from these underground legends. Cheers Adam and Dakota for doing this interview. Props!

[@graffzon]

Love that you are getting back too your roots Adam!

[@matthrsy]

Back to your roots, I rate this a lot thanks Adam for bringing it back to BMX for the OG fans

[@acedesventura]

This was a great interview, mad props to Adam and to the No Jumper team. Would love to see him interview more BMXers, he did such a good job with this one

Dan Lacey is so wild aswell

[@williamrandall8440]

Dak was always an idol rider growing up. Glad to see him still ripping and that he's really a chill dude! Love to see more bmx interviews. Aaron Ross, hawk Dan lacey just to name a few

[@NickGarrison]

Lotek Vancouver may have been the most influential movie in my life. Literally defined my taste in music.

[@jordanwilbert_]

Yes loved that DVD! 🙌🏼

[@matwhite5633]

I love where no jumper has gotten to! I started watching the bmx interviews and been hooked since. I hope to see more of these

[@pascaldigital]

Dakota Roche is my favorite BMX rider of all time. Tied with Charlie Crumblish. Great inspiring interview. 🔥 FIRE MIDS!

[@timcinnati4420]

Lotek mixtape was amazing. Literally switched my race brain to want to ride street and what not. The bikes, the styles, all inspiring.

[@clayheaton]

Yo thank you for sticking to your roots Adam

[@aaronchyea]

I'm glad Adam22 is not wearing sunglasses for this interview. Over the years of watching his interviews I've noticed that Adam has a hard time making eye contact. I'm a fan of his work and I want to see him continue to build the No Jumper brand.

[@jasonstella74]

great listen

Sick that Dakota talked about taking care of yourself. It's NOT A PLACEBO! Don't eat food out of a box and your health will sky rocket. "I like waking up and feeling good."

[@alphadream953]

forgot this was a BMX channel

[@ec0beastLive]

Used to know Matt Nordstrom back in the day when I lived in Austin & rode house park & 9th street so much. Sold my bike when I moved out of town and have regretted it since 😔

[@ec0beastLive]

Love the channel Adam been fw you a long time. I used to live on the come up website 💀 keep it up bro

[@coldbrewshawty]

bmx forever. this comment section is full of day ones

[@kilipodcast]

Never knew this guy until this came out... his insta page doeeee

[@Optillistic]

Is housephone ok?

[@AMM1998]

It's sad that a legend like dak will only get a fraction of the views that some meaningless IG thots will get on this podcast. That is a big reason why I started riding and I tried to copy his writing style but failed miserably as I don't have anywhere near the same amount of power that he does LOL. Absolute legend still at the top of the game

[@zackr1478]

Anyone from Baker or deathwish would be awesome to see here.

[@Ty-nx4nd]

DAK BEEN KILLEN FOR YEARSS!! PUT SOME RESPECT ON HIS NAME. TOP ATHLETE.

If dakota has a playstation he has a dvd player

[@bp4861]

@nojumper or @adam22 please someone what were the sick videos that didn't get much attention around 2010 at like 34:45 or so I need to watch these I just got back into bmx and I left around that Era

[@Freaknasssty]

hell yeah!

[@dragonfather3689]

Shaun white, mat Hoffman & Tony hawk would be so legendary
