RUBEN ALCANTARA - ETNIES FORWARD

[xman402]

the original version of sean burns...

[WuTangChillaBee]

0:35 fakie smith to table, this guys insane, fucking don of bmx no doubt

[TheFrankGecko]

To me, Ruben is the greatest rider I've ever seen. Absolutely my favourite, and this part in Forward is definitely up there as one of my favourite sections.

[icedearth10000]

is that a lawnmower grind 2:31?



[w8lifter201]

I remember that wallride to tailwhip being the craziest thing i ever saw and no i can do it. I dont wear skinny jeans that shit is seriously SERIOUSLY HOMO.

[tharbk01]

@w8lifter201 good for u dude..thats inpiration right there man!

[punxneverdead]

he is the best rider ever my gfriend bought me this vid when it first came out and this section made ne ride so much harder!! 0:38 0:48 0:53 say no more the first minute actuallly the whole section blunt slide on the spine!!!!!

[NoParks]

damn, baggy pants on bmx suck more than anything else

[seanfg]

@NoParks This was the REAL time in bmx! when i did not matter how fucking tight your pants happen to be....

[NoParks]

@seanfg i don't say that you have to wear slim pants, but for me, it looks better.

when i watch videos like this, i always think: hey, what he does is really hard and it even looks cool and there IS flow, but the pants make him look so....dumb somehow, the baggy style makes it hard to see his actions clearly

[robertito836]

ruben had the sickest part of the etnies video

[flava666]

ruben...gracias a ruben las bmx son ligeras y sobre todo con su estilo euro asiq ue todos los que usen su bmx ultra ligera y no sepan porque es asi...solo den gracias a ruben alcantara

[bruce1D]

he's like the earlier version of chase hawk. so fast and big and stylish. awesome

[muffthepuff]

do some euro tabletops

[disfruta66]

ruben es el mejor siempre ha ido por delante en estilo y en trucos que ahora todo el mundo imita...yankeess menos con ruben el es el mejor joderr.. el mejor mejor que cualquier americano truquero..

[Infilade]

Ruben changed BMX...He changed it from crazy 4 peg dudes hucking them selves to Style and finesse that we have today...I looked up so much to this dude growing up ridning.

[legobike]

i memba this way back when i started riding. was favourite riding section. then i met ruben when he came to nz. OMG best riding xp iv had still to this day.

[bigd021191]

shits crazzy

[rapjls]

i remember watching tis back when i was in year 5 thinking it was the radest shit out. It still is one of the best videos of all time. Full on inspired you to try new things as a kid. also RODEO GRIND!!!!!!!!!

[damagedgoodsbmx]

This is so epic! Im just reminded of the first time I ever saw this video. I'm really glad that this was one of the first BMX videos I ever saw years ago. The wallrides he does over the fence and the door over the rails is epic as fuck!

[legobike]

probably my all time favourite. i remmebr when i first started riding. id watch this almost every day. like 5 years ago

[xShaminox]

Spaniard stupid

[rapjls]

didnt he used to have an old signature frame on macneil called the mexican?

[xShaminox]

so what? thats a typical joke for people like you that doesnt distin between spaniards and mexican

fucking retard

[rapjls]

i didnt mean it like that dude just chill. It was either him or mike escamiller who had a frame called the mexican. and i made a mistake it was volume not macneil.

[LazelDazel]

@xShaminox

It's not a joke at all, don't be a prick, there is in fact a BMX frame called "The Mexican" by Volume.. the dude got it mixed up, he wasn't being racist he was asking a question and you're being an ignorant cunt.

If he asked "Didn't he have a frame called The Spic?" I'd have flagged his comment and told him to swallow my baby gravy.

[Jazzmany11]

RACIST!!!

[Jazzmany11]

his wallrides r just too crazy!!!!~!

[Kimoki313]

I had a poster on my wall of him table topping out of a wall ride. For years I had no idea how he'd managed to get so damn high off the pavement.

Then a mate told me he was fucking awesome at wall rides and I spotted the wall he'd just come off.

[atherton84]

this video part was the biggest inspiration for my riding...back in 2002 I saw the vid premiere in cologne at the worlds, it was awesome to hang around with nearly the complete etnies team...fast with style!!!

Song: Built to Spill - Stab

[philcollinz666]

what is that song?

[greggo1001]

its called learntogooglelyrics by youfuckinglazyass

[chuppachee]

Ruben ,you the man. What a legend.

[icedsnapple]

this isnt real street cuz obviously they spend weeks setting this up he doesnt just go into the city and gets perfect ass jumps.

[rebel4055]

they dont spend "weeks" they spend a few days or maybe a few hours to get the right shots...

[chuppachee]

Why would you even bother contradicting someone, with an OPINION and state it as a FACT? Really, I'm curious,why would you do that? How many video's have you made/been involved in making?

[rebel4055]

it wasnt a OPINION it was a FACT ive seen behind the scenes on allot of tv shows and biking videos. They spend a few hours or a few days getting the right shot to edit into the final cut

[chuppachee]

Yeah, a few hours for EACH shot / trick. When you said "they don't spend weeks" you were correcting 'iceedsnapple' who said "they spend weeks setting this up". He meant the full video section, not weeks for each stunt / trick. They didn't shoot that whole video section in a few hours or days. The new FIT video has been months in the making.

[jjvv1993]

if you go to that spot for one year , you dont get ruben shotss so shut up

[Justin686]

you obviously don't ride... some comment some place else since you aren't properly educated on the subject. some of the most epic things done on a bike aren't on film and further more, if you'd actually read the articale of ride from when forward came out (most likely when you were about 7) you'll know that the one shot in the entire video that would be considered staged would be Roof tops rail flip section.. Ruben is street, before street became Nike sb barspin city...

[scratch12321]

[icedsnapple]
