Yea, it just sux seeing beginners riding the "up-to-date" frames and parts and riding brakeless and not doing too good. Just because it's what everyone ELSE is doing. My thought is that you NEED to learn bike control first. And brakes is where you start. If you don't want to use your brakes, then DON'T GRAB THEM!!!!! I think Chase IS a trend setter and is ahead of everyone's time and will always be. I guess now-a-days it's just the younger state of mind. You have to have the latest and greatest parts, the latest clothes, and try to do the latest tricks. I know of guys that can do all the forward rolling on the front wheel tricks and can't even do a decade. I guess this is why I'm loosing interest.
You guys are going off on trendy guys, who are the trendy guys putting out videos right now that you have a problem with enough to know what they're doing is "wrong" or however you want to say it compared to Chase?
What kind of frame is Chase riding?
Wow, Killer riding as usual. I swear he is STILL pushing the envelope without ever lookin like a trend FOLLOWER ,ALWAYS a trend SETTER!!!! No pumping as well just straight momentum.How refreshing to see this caliber of riding. I spied 2 future up and comers in the background too...

Not to be rude, but telling people that they're riding the wrong way (which is your own personal paradigm of what riding should be) goes completely against the grain of what you're saying here.

Stubble I don't think it's anything to lose interest over. You're still free to ride however you like and I think there are a lot of other guys out there like you so you're not lacking for support here on Global. Things change man and kids are kids. There was no shortage of these types when we were kids too... theres always a ton of crappy practitioners in any hobby or sport in any given era. I try not to get too hung up on it because there is so much more awesome stuff going on in the flat world right now that overrule the BS. Tricks like the decade are still very well represented in serious flatland. Those kids will prob learn them eventually if they haven't already given up the bikes entirely for girls, cars, or partying.
So either you are too much of a coward to name names, or you're just spouting off nonsense for the sake of talking sh*t. Alright then.
