Smilemon's Ten Influential Riders and their Bikes
Hopefully not the Last Generation of Riding Bikes for fun not $
I wanted to make a list to honor the guys that have been in BMX for a long time, and not for the money or fame; guys who truly love to ride their bikes. Although these ten legends are extremely talented, they are not and never really wanted to be corporate or contest riders. Creativeness and originality has made this culture so diverse. These ten riders have influenced my generation not only because of their riding abilities. Style is what separates BMX from the rest of action sports. We need to look back, pay homage to the real BMX, riding bikes for fun. The styles of these ten guys has been and will continue to be replicated but they can never be duplicated. Click the links below for videos, pictures and parts list for each rider and their bike.
#10 Steven Hamilton
#9 Joe Rich
#8 Josh Stricker
#7 Garrett Byrnes
#6 Sean Burns
#5 Edwin Delarosa
