Wanna B(MX) - a BMX inspired moto montage

GTA 5 - Wanna B(MX) | a bmx inspired motorcycle montage

here is my new montage, inspired by all the awesome BMX stunts and stunters GTA V has.
i wanted to showcase the diversity of my favorite bike, the Dinka Thrust. i love moto stunting, but always dreamed of more technical stunts like bmxers pull. this is my attempt to do just that.

also, keep an eye out for what could be a new type of stunt

[Reynard The Fox]

Damn these are some smooth ass grinds man! Very nice looking forward to checking out this bike.

[FrankInsanity]

 I fucking love your stunts m8, keep it going

I hate to critique my best stunting buddy, but I feel like you're too good of a stunter to be doing allot of these spots.

For example.

1. 0:23
2. 0:32
3. 0:48
4. 1:08
5. 1:32

And every other straight thrust grind, because you know as well as I do that straight thrust grinds like that are no harder than doing a wheelie for a few seconds and they really don't meet the level technicality this video seemed to be striving for.

The grinds on the nose of the bike looked awesome, I always have a hard time finding a place to do them, and your spot was pretty much perfect (if you're the first to show that in a video, congrats).

Overall, it was good, but I really think you're allot better than this video leads on.

i wanted this more to be a showcase of the thrusts abilities and various hitboxes and was hesitant to call it a full montage from the start. if i hadn't added the sanchez stunts, it was just going to be called a showcase.
i'm working on a second now that focuses on combos. none of the simple one hits.
that said, i like the small hits and some are more difficult than they look. i treat this game like Skate, no ledge is too small for a stunt.
i feel like i can do a video like this once, because these stunts are so new and i just want to expose people to them.
plus, i had to get the noseslide out there (pretty sure it's the first out).

[BIGpoppaKEGdog]

I feel like most people already get the point with the Thrust grind, they've already seen you're other montage if they're watching this one (most likely) and other peoples as well, it's not in its infancy stages anymore, it's months old at this point. We're past simple Thrust grinds like the garbage in my montage (which was good enough for the time, but we're past that point now). 

Just like the Shitzu slide, Slayer made a video with very simple slides (which was awesome at the time), and now everyone is sliding under trucks and over building and shit lol, the time for sliding down a road is done.

The nose slide might be new to allot of people though, it's neat that you got it out first (you can do a nose slide on almost every bike by the way).




Keep in mind, I'm only saying this because you're good enough to do better stunts, imagine if Vanilla started doing simple grinds, you'd be like "wtf?."

[foresttravesty]

judging by the amount of comments and questions i get about what i thought was the easy general stuff, people are not exposed to this as much as you think.

plus, i got the BMX community watching and enjoying . which was my main goal.

noseslide ( we are calling it the Frontside Slide  ) can be done with anything, but you'll find the thrust has a much bigger hitbox. it's just hard to rotate into the proper position. 
 
 also, progress is important, but tricks don't just  get old and die off. if that was the case, people would have stopped watching roof hops and GTA V stunting would have died a long time ago. there havent been many new tricks until recently. difficulty isn't the only factor to consider either. rooftops are some of the easier stunts in this game, but they still get tons of love...

i'm no vanilla  i'm just a guy who likes grinding. even if it's the simple stuff. but yeah, my next vid shouldn't be this simple.

also, if you would hit me up in the week maybe you could dissuade me from making such decsions    jk,i appreciate the the critique. i'll get out and make it bigger and better next time.

[BIGpoppaKEGdog]

I guess it's a different perspective or some shit, I'm over here thinking you underestimate how many people can already do the simple shit, and you're over there thinking I'm overestimating.

Maybe it's because I spend my entire day doing similar stuff it seems different to me.

I'm not saying stunts die by the way, I'm saying they evolve into bigger and better stuff, and you don't wanna be a chimp while everyone else has evolved to their human stage.

Remember we're on very different time zones, that's why I don't hit you up as often as you might expect.

[foresttravesty]

it's all good sir 
i reeled in the BMXrs with this one. but my next one gotta be bigger to keep the moto's around. it's gonna be a balancing act.
truthfully, i just like stunting for fun and there are very few people i want to impress. but you're one of them so of course i'm going to take all this into consideration.

[MrCooper]

rooftops are some of the easier stunts in this game, but they still get tons of love...

That is not true, at all, whatsoever, not in the slightest. First fo all, people are really underrating builing stunts, you see all this top 5 where sick building landings will get the number 5 spot and some new straight grind or some new technical stunt will get the number 2 or 1 spot. People right now are looking for creativity, and that's fine. But you saying building stunting is easy...

Of course if you go for a stunt where you try to land on a small-ass building with the OP hackouchu you will hit it in 20 minutes, but true, insane rooftop landings take the longest.

It took me 4 months to finish my solo, while you released like 4 montages on the last couple months with these grinds. And it's fine, people like to do different things. But you saying: "rooftops are some of the easier stunts in this game, but they still get tons of love..." When it's exactly the opposite

Btw nice montage man, really liked the new method, I think no-one has done that before 

[foresttravesty]

ohhh man, i really just meant the single bump glides to rooftops. i wasn't talking about your video. your video actually pushed rooftops where they need to be headed.

i do think single bump glides to rooftops are some of the easiest stunts in the game. i've hit relands that i thought looked amazing in other peoples vids, within 15 minutes of trying. but, from a visual standpoint, any large roof hop is going to look appealing to the uneducated stunter. i think rooftops are some of the biggest draws for new stunters in this game, that's what i mean by "lots of love".

your stuff was obviously different to anyone who's ever tried this and i'm not knocking you or your stunts at all.
and i don't know a thing about the tank stunting, so i can't even begin to comment on that. it looked really cool.

as far as time and output goes, i've put over 14 days real time into this since i've began stunting 2 months ago. i can't really sit around with footage and i'm creative naturally, so i used this as a way to keep myself busy. i'm most proud of my 4th video, which took me the longest. but i've got 3 or 4 other crappy videos to showcase my growth and i've documented 2 new stunt methods in that time now. plus, this BMX type video was done intentionally quick because those guys release content so steadily.

[BIGpoppaKEGdog]

I'd say large glides and roof landings are by far the hardest stunts to land, I could Shitzu slide under and Thrust grind over every ledge in the game in the time it takes to land 4 big glides (like Slayers bridge landing). That said, most huge glides are left up to chance for the most part, which is what turns me away from attempting them.

I think the reason they don't get as much love anymore is because the map is all used up, there's not many, if any, big spots for it anymore.

[foresttravesty]

slayers bridge landing is a precision (almost a technical). i am strictly speaking on single bump roof landings with no precision involved. precisions (especially technicals) are my favorite landings because they are so difficult. gliding to any random tall roof off a single bump is not difficult, and videos are still filled with those kinds of stunts.
but, this wasn't about difficulty. this was about having fun and putting out something different.

[foresttravesty]

this wasn't an attempt to talk trash about any kind of stunting. i was just speaking in jest, and giving a shitty example.
nothing is as definitive as i laid out. a single bump to glide can be very hard if the bump / run up is shit or based on any number of other difficulty factors.

you guys are all awesome and i appreciate the support and critique.

Cool video dude, I hadn't seen many of these things before. I hope to see these different kinds of slides be utilized in combination with other stunting methods!! e.g. imagine bumping to a rooftop, doing a funky 360 wheelie slide (like that last stunt) over the roof, and then dropping onto a rail!

Thanks for sharing, looking forward to the next one
