if your like me, your love of motorcycles started way before you got your first rd125
i was smashing myself up long before that on my trusty BMX, i was OK at jumps and stunts, but i was nothing, NOTHING like this bloke. This is one of the best links i have been sent in a long time, hope you enjoy it as much as i have,

Nice. That kid can ride. There's a fair bit of bmx stuff on free to air these days, which is great, always good to watch. Speaking of RD125's Stan... I've got a AS3 out atm... you should use it to pollute Harvey Bay.

I can remember my RD125. It was a brand new LC mark 2 in black & red bought in 1986. What a great bike they were, I learned alot riding that bike, it also got me through both parts of my bike test.
Sold it to a friend to buy a 350 YPVS who later on crashed it into a ditch! :sad
You don't see many about these days which I think is great shame.

That guy's just magic. Youtube him and you'll find that same video at a better resolution, a neat TV ad he's recorded and some other stuff.
That's MTB trials, not BMX, but yeah.. he's doing a lot of BMX stuff and then some. If I get time later on I'll post up some links to other MTB disciplines like DH and Dirtjump that're worth watching too.
BTW. Talking RDssss, my first road bike was an RD50, then a RD350YPVS, then a GSXR750 slabby! I think I crashed about twice a year for a few years there...

I'm a little too young for RD's, but I loved the RZ I rode. Just begged to
be thrashed and ridden hard... good fun.

OK, I'm empressed - really impressed
I've tried a few of those moves myself - usually after I hit some oil or shingle on the road unexpectedly
Sorry guys - I was a Suzuki man myself:
T125
T250
T350
2 x T500's
but I did have an RD400G (the very last of the air cooled RD's), and a Mach 3

Could you imagine the things that young man could do on a gas gas machine or other brand of trials bike. UNFRIGGEN REAL. Two moves that stand out in particular, the flip off of the tree and the change in direction through the air from brick burm to brick burm. Truly talented young lad, my 7 year old daughter watched with me and was equally impressed. Cool tune even as well.
