@Balanced-Miracles4 жыл бұрын
I remember how big he was and gave Mirra great competition in both street/park and vert comps. and been wondering what the "Canadian beast" which was his nickname has been up to. It was ultra enlightening to see this vid today. I'm greatly inspired it left me teary eyed. For him to transition from being an expert at bmx freestyle to expert in furniture and demonstrate and project the same level of joy and fulfillment is incredibly inspiring. I said to myself he's got his mind working perfectly. he transitioned and to a completely new topic and kept his technique entirely the same and now he's a super high end furniture expert. That is an incredible story.

I've read Jay had developed a kind of degenerative disease due to several concussions. That's why he decided go to furniture school, to keep his mind alive (and busy). That's a real hero. I shaked his hand, back in the time at Rio in 2003. I'll buy one of his creation someday. For sure. Thanks for uploading this vid!

Jay Miron was one of the first freestyle bmx riders that inspired me. His riding speaks to everyone. So happy for him. I want Jay Miron furniture! He should build custom ramps. Jay probably has a bicycle and rides around his custom furniture annually. I barely ride anymore either. The next chapter indeed.
