[@ScottyCranmer]

Dak is a such a Legend! Congrats on another unbelievable video part!

[@McAlpineBrandon]

shout out to you too scotty man for sticking it out there and staying with us. some day i hope to shake the hand of all yall legends.

[@xpndblhero5170]

You was right about this video part Scotty.... He's crazy. LoL

[@sockpuppettheatre8861]

Speechless

[@Coupleofbrokeboys]

I have the dak death row frame. Dudes a legend in the bmx community.

[@chickenjoe59]

Fr tho this was a great video part dak

[@BillyPerry]

That was incredible! Trick and spot selection were pure art

[@Tlynch4130]

Dude has inspired me since I was like 13 I’m now 30 and he’s still doing it. Dak will be talked about for AGES

[@DesperadoDufel]

Same....ever since the old lotek videos and insight dropped this dude been one of my favs

[@wibmerfabio]

that was insane! unreal part

[@itsssjustzach]

8 and a half minutes of absolute savagery,Dak's creativity and spot usage are always so inspiring,loved every second of this!

[@pedal66]

Dak still rips. So creative! Has such a style of his own and sees the streets differently. That was way bigger than I expected. Collection of serious bangers at the end.

[@unclemoom1]

What a legend, everything he puts out is amazing.

[@TheBClark88]

Insane we get this and Gary's part so close together! Two mid school OG killers still doing it in their mid 30s. I also love the fact these BMX edits are the antithesis of recent MTB trends. 8 mins plus of straight bangers, hardly any b-roll, no slow-mo scrubs, no overly fussy editing - just straight great riding.

[@OurBMX]

Like fine wine, but really really gnarly wine. Hell yes, Dak!

[@danarobichaud9493]

Mike Aitken and Dak were the two guys that really made me fall in love with riding. Can’t believe this guy is still crushing it the way he is… 2010 till the end!!!

[@DesperadoDufel]

Same ..can't forget Edwin tho....Edwin's #1 for me, followed by Aitken and dak...and Mirra of course, late 90s x games and seeing Dave rip it was the reason I got into BMX. RIP MIRACLE BOY

[@icedearth10000]

This better get a Nora Cup nomination for video part of the year. So damn good!

[@sole__doubt]

Im gonna watch this one a whole bunch of times. Incredible riding.

[@nathancraddock1733]

That second last clip was amazing🔥

[@bboymyers3853]

High IQ spot usage/trick selection. The massive double peg, the wallride to tooth hanger and that last clip sheesh

[@guiseppecamolle]

We all love ya Dak

[@joelypolely]

Has anyone in BMX history put out as many banging video parts as Dak? Dude keeps churning out the hits!

[@nyanmhong162]

No skateboarding mimicking technical tricks just pure BMX. I love it! (don't get me wrong. I'm also a huge fan of technical tricks but this reminds me of how I became so obsessed with BMX in the first place , which is going down huge rails and stairsets and massive wallrides)

[@dmbbmx7100]

Man well done pure poetry in motion

[@andrewmapstone]

GOAT 🐐

[@saturnvi5421]

Always put the scariest stuff at the end, I like it that way.

[@ViktorVaughan]

This wasn't something you watch. It was something you experience

[@raimundozuninomaomed8032]

Absolutely

[@Hassan-Alnajjar]

This guy is not kidding 😮 God bless him ✌️

[@anthonypallante2966]

unbelievable..... that wallie to flimsy rail jammer to tooth actually blew me away. so much amazing stuff in here going to have to watch on repeat to get the full effect!

[@SWalkr]

Just got your Vans in the mail. I expect to ride like Dak now. I'll have an ambulance standing by.

[@thisisnotmyrealname9049]

Damn dude this is savage. This is why Dak has always been one of my favorites.

[@eskimo4130]

Big respect for still killing it now Dak. That dead man rail was insane.

[@pepsi9164]

The individual riding style of this man is amazing 🤩

[@glenngruell4291]

I'm 47 been watching him from the beginning in fit little guy with long hair doing crazy things and lines see we're he is now I'm not even surprised how badass he truly is great job bro 😊

[@sourcebmx]

What a beast! Thank you Vans, Dak and Calvin!

[@mcciggy]

I love how dak doesn’t crank between big tricks in a line. He just sorta surfs his way to where he needs to b. So sick! Salute to Our Bmx. Bmx needs more!

[@9deadBand]

Please tell me Im not the only one over here getting Criminal Mischief vibes? Especially in the beginning? Reminds me of the start of Vans part or Pat Julifs. Great Edit Dak!

[@tmingng]

Dak was already a legend 10 years ago. He's better than ever, so I guess he's transcended into diety status. Thank you for the years of inspiration and artistry.

[@xTriggerTreatx]

Dak still got it and he proved that with this one !

[@tech12mods]

making things look easy that are unbelievably hard!!!

[@MTB-ENG]

Everything in this is deliberate. True art. No unnecessary pedals... carving for speed when needed... style for miles

[@CrymInAction]

SOOGOOOD!! ANY rider would be happy to get one or two of these spots checked off, and Dak kills absolutely all of them.

[@lautaromarin552]

i heavily appreciate how creative, yet classic, Dak's riding was in this video

[@Suckmycog]

What an absolute legend man. After so many years of putting out so much good riding, he continues to keep blessing us with top level progression and aggression. Incredible work to all involved

[@pieb0y1]

The spot usage by Dak is just amazing as always!

[@taylordmadetaylor2361]

Top 10 Street Video Part All Time!! WoW!

[@kwmountainbikers]

Dak parts always inspire me to go grab my bike and ride... that and get better at wall rides!

[@billyarlew]

Hammers, tech, creativity, spots all mind-blowing. Also have to note that's the lowest dip i've ever seen at 6:28

[@DavidLuna-wf4ix]

Best rider ever !!! Style and tec !!!

[@dfz4130]

This guy never misses!!! DAK IS A LEGEND!

[@simple-session]

Such an instant classic! 📼👏 Congrats to Dakota, Calvin and Vans BMX!

[@vanxdustd]

The most creative rider ever

[@dlygrind]

Instant classic. Putting in work doesn't do justice to Dak's level of effort and commitment. Thank you so much for making this! Also, imagine a Dak and Hango split part! That'd be one for the ages.

[@joshnicholson6194]

Those bangers were so innovative. Dak is out here changing street 20 years in, not surprised.

[@irie-dragon]

Dak is 'The MAN.' Props Triple O.G.!!! -The Joys of Riding🙏😁

[@larsyoung]

EXCELLENT!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🦾🏁

[@diskreteone1967]

Wtf..!? This guy is doing things on his bike that nobody else is doing... I don't think I've seen anyone who lands their tricks so Smooth & Clean, he looks so natural on a bike

[@maidthehormone]

Sick-Insane-Bombastic Part🤯

[@BasicBeachCommunity1]

Going off of roof like that on a bike must be crazy. 😳😳🌴🌴🔥

[@terribleed15]

1966 - Part is amazing I love how the last two clips could have been the banger!! Dak is the goat hands down! 👊👊

[@sonerozarkojazzcosmico.3588]

🔥Siempre Vans Siempre ❤️

[@dragonridersally]

Dak killing it still. True professional, one of a kind. Progressing still and doing it nice

[@conradquiroz185]

I don’t ride, but I like Vans, so I watched and one of the spots is right by my house. Tripped out

[@gnartalk]

One of the best videos I’ve ever watched

[@Thunderactionsports]

That was RIDICULOUSLY tech ❗❗👏👏

[@chuckt8557]

The dak attack is back jack 😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MOUNTAINOUS]

this might be the greatest bmx video part in the history of the sport.

[@importedfilmz]

You the man Dak!!!! OG

[@BMXOPHY]

It makes me happy to see that Dak is riding this well. So much creativity, technique and best of all, his signature style.

[@slept-on_SP]

Dak got them power-moves

[@JoshP81]

BMX is definitely the king of all the extreme "sports".

[@killkill1484]

Creativity x Obstination x Balls Dak is a machine!!!

[@dantrombley8148]

Been watching dak since fbc. Still motivates me to take my bike out at 31 🤙

[@ianswayne7296]

Nose tricks at another level the nose to 180 on the dock was BANGER

[@davidsmith2910]

man is at his peak this was incredible

[@MakeEverything]

Wow that was incredible!!! One of Daks best for sure!!

[@henrybarrett423]

OMFG WOW my jaw hurts from dropping so hard

[@Sharpened_Spoon]

Sometimes I see the Vans or Cult vids and Dak is always pulling some neat stuff out but then he does a full part and reminds you he’s a goddamn weapon on a bike.

[@keithjohnson1830]

Best BMX part I've ever seen!

[@aggeloskarazournias8593]

Let's go Dak!!!🙌

[@benrawson6684]

This made me want to ride again.

[@joblogister4235]

what a Masterpiece

[@smallsee]

i remember when Dak used to just hop stuff and tweak his bike and it was the best. now its all progression at the expense of style. regardless... incredible video and clips.

[@tristencooperbmx]

So many wow moments. Well done Dakota

[@borntoolate]

unbelievable level of riding!!!

[@thomasluttermoser1654]

I still ride one of his FIT frames. Incredible rider!

[@nfsmwv30]

Thank you Dak. Don’t ever stop doing you

[@fawwazmedia9479]

Vans filming always 🔥🔥🔥. The vibes ❤️❤️❤️

[@claudeohashi1854]

dak is the absolute best!!!

[@flybynaturegear4617]

THE G.O.A.T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

[@abner_bmx]

No words can describe the feeling right now! THIS IS STREET! Dak is a true legend 🙌🏼🔥

[@MattHooverDotCom]

Street indeed. I rarely watch street videos, usually prefer park or dirt. But Dak riding street is just something you cannot look away from. His lines are so unique that I end up having to watch some of them 2-3 times to understand what he even did.

[@lookmagazine2667]

Flabbergasted by almost every line….and he must be nearly 40!

[@MomentYT]

It’s unbelievable what this guy has done and will continue to do on a bmx. Legend!

[@sudakabmx9753]

Years of validity and always with quality!

[@robwagner4615]

Mind boggling riding! LEGEND!

[@fawwazmedia9479]

Dak is an absolute legend 🙌🏻💯🖤🔥🔥🔥. Nose and manual combo trick was insane.

[@gioreyes9710]

Dak is for sure the 🐐

[@petervanbrigglejr.2297]

What a beast! Been a fan for over a decade, ALWAYS KILLIN IT!!!

[@panzaanthony]

Beast.. this was fire

[@LeighRamsdell]

Incredible! Always stoked for Dak videos!

[@RoYaLMarTineZ]

[@jonathanrobertson7984]

Dakota Roche is a certified mad man. Wow.

[@CooperBrownleeVisuals]

Definitely one of my favourite DAK sections, so many epic spot use moments. Great work from Calvin as well.

[@Petrol1995]

[@hardpvp6759]

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

Now that Im almost 40, growing up in peak bmx is really taking its toll now😵‍💫

[@peteroneil9017]
