Dylan Stark's heavy BMX and MTB edit came out in February and was absolutely worth the $3 it cost at the time, but now it's available for free on YouTube.
Oh I'm gonna sound like such an old man here but I really hope that, given they were charging people for the clip originally, they paid to fix whoever's roof they f*cked up at 4:19...
@Tacodip420: I'm sure they did... And when I was a teenager (as a skateboarder) I probably would have done too. But then you grow up and realize that stuff costs money and repairing a roof is a) expensive, and b) a ball ache. I'd be pretty pissed if that happened to my roof for the sake of someone's short bike film, and even more so to find out that whoever made it was asking people to pay for said film because of the time and money it cost to make (you know, like a roof does)
@suspended-flesh: I'm always surprised when people that shred this hard rely on their hands for work. WTF do you do if you break your femur and you are a roofer? I have a desk job so I basically just need one hand to work.
Since this is cali he will not be shooted or so that easily, however for anyone who is violating private property and causing vandalism consequences could be literally fatal
@nickmalysh: You can't just walk up and shoot someone because they are on private property. You have to trespass them and even then, if they refuse, you cannot shoot them unless they pose an imminent threat to your life.
@kleinblake: It was obviously not a home, but someone owns it and has to pay for a roof. My status as homeowner is meant that I understand how much it sucks to have to pay for a new roof....even more so when you have to pay not because of a weather event or age, but because some person decided that you needed to pay for a new roof just so they could have a spot of fun.
@Explodo: It looks like an old mormon church building, so it was paid for by a group that sits on at least 100 billion that they conned out of their members by functionally charging for access to rituals supposedly required in order to be with your family after you die. I wouldn't feel bad about it.
@HB208: I'm not saying anyone should, what I'm saying is that there a lot of people who can non adequately react on trespassing and property damaging, so the person who is doing stunt can face person who do not give a s* about that
@dragonbones: The spot where he dropped was pretty clearly on the east end of the building going north. The aerial image is from 2018, so I don't think that a repair would show yet. Further, his original comment was that the building was "abandoned" and in a "bad part of town". He also said that they were "shingles" when they were concrete tiles, so he is definitely not a roofer (like was stated earlier in this thread). These concrete tiles can be difficult to match if the original profile is no longer produced. Tiles in good condition should last a minimum of 50 years and these looked pretty pristine. At a minimum they did several thousand dollars worth of damage to this roof, and I sincerely doubt it was an abandoned building as they have "open" hours listed on google maps. Dick move to vandalize a building, regardless of who the owner is.
@speedfreek I'm glad you said it. As to why he doesn't have more sponsors, the dudes like 30 and acting like a 15-year-old hooligan. Even the BMX sponsors won't touch him. I suspect he had the talent but didn't do the work necessary to take it to the next level like Zink, Semenuk, Macaskill, etc.
I know a million bmxers that would ride your bathtub if they could get away with it, me included. Nobody wants to damage property especially if your relying on it not breaking to survive but it’s part of the sport. Bikes and property destruction go hand in hand whenever it’s tearing up a rut or smashing a roof tile. Outlaw 4 life.
@thenotoriousmic: I take it a lot of older mountain bikers getting into the sport didn't grow up street skateboarding, BMXing, snowboarding, etc. Probably why they get so upset about this sort of thing.
I think it's more that most MTB'rs are more likely to be homeowners than bmxers (as a generality) Replacing a roof is like $10K easy...so...when it's someone else's problem...sure, jack it up. But once you yourself have to start paying them bills...it's a whole other story.
@preach: But it turns out to be a religion-owned building, not an individual's hard-earned residence. Religion steals money from suckers based on lunacy, so I have no empathy for their 'property.'
@Lineofbestfit: ahhh you’re right. When you click the link the view isn’t oriented N/S. we’re talking about the same spot. Do you see the lighter tiles?
@chriskneeland: That’s an immature/uneducated attitude. The principle of the matter is: You break something, you fix it. Never mind that it’s against the law to ride the roof of a private building without permission.
@gnarlysipes: I think what @chriskneeland said was a clever and amusing commentary. The real "principle" of this "matter" is that some of us are Starks and some are Lannisters and your parental hectoring falls on deaf ears in the Stark camp. PB comments are antimatter. No Laws - No Permissions. Except Lord Radek.
@HB208: mountain biking used to have the same outlaw spirit before it became middle aged and middle class. Sorry but if someones offended by a roof line they need to piss off back to the golf course.
@preach: My Ex GF lives in North Cackalacky. I should have married her when i had the chance, but I'm off topic, yeah sure - anytime.
If you're flying or driving out here, just make sure you have your Prius Pilot License, a Preferred Pronoun card filled out, have your proof of Vax card, and an embedded 5G chip with the current firmware version. If not, you can always swing down through Mexico and pop right in to CA.
@humanpowered: Dylan's sponsored IDK what you're talking about, quick speaking out of your ass you don't know the man. yet here you are acting like a god, I bet the trails you ride are "legal" and never touched a real spot.
I'd say he would have come in 3rd if this vid was in the contest. But this was a long time in the making skate style compilation and time is everything for bangers like these guys are chasing
While he shreds, video quality is actually really important for x games, as well as censorship etc, that video will not pass by any means, while the rider is
The owner of the roof was The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.. talk about shredders, they shred all day every day in a shirt and tie! #respect
Love seeing Stark getting some attention on pinkbike. He's such a crazy rider. I'll always remember that roof drop video from a few years ago. Just insane what he's willing to try.
When up from the rooftop there rang such a clatter, I put down my beer to go see what was the matter. And what before my eyes did appear, expecting St Nick and his mighty reindeer. There was no Santa and his four legged friends, just madman D. Stark romping some mighty sick sends!
X games may not like it....but Dylan is a gladiator that needs to be in their TV drama series. No one is riding BMX, DJ and DH on this level. And I didn't even have to suffer through a rap song for this edit. Bravo dude.
This video looks like the modern version of every bike edit that came out of Vancouver in the early naughties. If it weren't for the HD quality and lack of Monster Ts I'd assume it was.
Because sponsors want some dweeb trail clone YouTuber with perfect diction and imagine. Not some gnarly sender who thinks after he jumps. (Ps if I owned a company id be on a plane to CA right now to find Dylan and hand him a FAT check)
He's sponsored by yt now I'm pretty sure. And hes had weed maps as a sponsor for a long time lmao. I think many companies want a "cleaner" family friendly imagine like bkxc vs someone like Stark. But yeah he really does deserve more sponsors, the dude is insane on a bike.
Sponsorship is all about marketing. Look at Wyn Masters; he does the same thing manuals and wheelies week after week but has a huge following on Insta and FB so he does really well with sponsorship. Not to take anything away from him, he works really hard and is always on social media. I reckon some people just don’t want to or cant do so don’t get the level of sponsorship
@freeridejerk888: if i owned a company...hand him a fat check, if i owned a company...hand him a fat check, if i owned a company...hand him a fat check. talk is cheap.
@Blackhat: haha, I've definitely enjoyed some of his videos since I'm from CA too and they're great trail previews but I know what you mean. It's just nothing special, I'd have more fun just riding myself. If I'm watching YouTube I want to see crazy shit that blows my mind.
I've always wondered why riders would chase sponsors instead of creating premium content to sell. I'm pretty sure he's better off with his $3 video parts marketed to a 100k instagram audience than he'd be if he was stuck in a contract that told him what to do and what not to do.
@DylanH93: I’ve suffered through at times for the same reason. Trail video previews are hugely valuable if you’re considering driving to ride something.
My problem isn’t so much his riding it’s that everything he says seems contrived and calculated. When he says that something was gnarly, it feels more like a computer analyzed the trail ahead of time to find all the places that could be said and he’s just playing them back on cue for the video. Never heard him say anything interesting.
And honestly, I’m not sure how on earth someone who rides so much could be so mediocre. Maybe his appeal is making dentists feel better about their riding?
@Blackhat: oh right, yeahhhh. Etc he’s like a shit soundboard with a mediocre grasp on how to ride a bike but some how has like ten times the following of say 50:01 or someone like Jeff Kendal weed who basically does the same thing but way better in every single way. I don’t get it.
@thenotoriousmic: I fully concur! And, there are a shiat ton of dentists w/ $10k plus bikes that eat up the BKXC stuff like candy. Lots of free time in between patients to watch Youboob.
@Blackhat: lmao I know what you mean. He seems like a nice guy but f*ck if I had to guess anyone is actually a robot I'd be guessing him. Or like some sort of possible psycho haha! Definitely nice checking out a trail preview for something new. Also helps avoid any unexpected shit that might catch you up.
Good vid, good riding. As a carpenter, I resent the roof damage. Not cool to ride on tile roofs. Concrete tile roofs are very long lived and demonstrate a commitment to lowering the carbon foot print of a building by not needing to replace a roof every 15-30 years. Breaking one up is a shitty move.
I had clips like these back in VHS days. Man, I'd love to see those. Circa Gary Fisher Joshua with Judy triple clamps. Taco'ed a wheel off a 10 stair in front of the high school girls volley ball team who was practicing that weekend. I was a legend. Ah man, nostalgia....
Great clip. Ankles of steel. Brought me back to my urban free ride days.
I watching the video wondering what was the ender going to be like, every clip was ender worthy, that whip roof drop into that water thing is up there neck and neck with Enarson's whip roof drop, but the huck to flat at the end was nuts too, I guess YT is paying him the big bucks to put that instead of the whip for the kids
All you old crusty mtber's on here complaining about the roof. Get out of here! What about all that insane riding? This site is a whole lotta old ass mtb hacks. Admire the riding in the video and the fact that he does all of this with out any major factory backing! No redbull or monster paying or producing this. the roof is fine get over it! Stop acting like the old grumpy men most of you seem to be!
Definitely not a "must watch" unless you like watching overshoots, huck to flats, and destruction of bikes & private property. Maybe some others style, but not mine.
people complaining about vandalism don't realize that 99% of all extreme sports practiced in cities is vandalism.. skateboarding, bmx, rollerblading, even the dudes in scooters are always vandalizing something.. roofs, schools, benches, ledges, rails, pools. you name it.. That's just the way it is.. sucks for the owner of the roof, but hey, when schools and public property gets "vandalized" (meaning people grind and break/damage rails, stairs, ledges, picninc tables and whatnot) you are all paying for it in the form of taxes.. and I don't see anyone crying over broken school picnic tables in every skateboard or bmx vid..
Does any of redbull vid promote that? The issues is not the pro hit and run(owner of property have law enforcement and insurance), the 12 y old jerk will follow and crash and boom - cali ban bmx/mtb and any drop higher then 1 inch
@nickmalysh: Hop onto RedBull Skateboarding's youtube channel. They promote this all day long. The whole point is to have younger skaters/riders watch and be inspired. That's why it works as a business. Also, skateboarding and bmx in the street is banned, we just do it anyway. It's part of the culture and is what it is. Hence clips getting kicked out of spots. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8h7sOUDklg&t=760s
$3 seems pretty damn cheap to support an amazing dude in the mtb world. I follow him on youtube but didn't even know about this. I'm only a student and definitely would have paid just to support him.
most people here are probably the type of people to spend $200 on a Patagonia jacket but when it comes to a video where a pro rider is sending harder than diamonds, they suddenly feel like $3 is a lot of money.
There are many things I spend spare change on that I generally consider to be a waste of money. This however, considering how rad Dylan is, I consider to have been $3 well spent.
If you get pissed at people that steal bikes you should get pissed at people that damage or other peoples property. Its that same principles, lame excuses about abandoned buildings are a cop-out. This video sucked
How about the graff in the Catacombs? Does that activate your inner Chad? You have no idea of the context. I'd be OK with him riding off a burning church, but I'm not pushing my lack of morals on you.....
The guy is talented no doubt about it. But this video is far from "cool" , worth paying for, or even highlighting here on Pinkbike. It's a lame vid because: * There's obvious vandalism there. It's clear they ran away and didn't pay * Big tricks with no helmet is a turn off. Anyway, good luck with the production career.
tsk, my comment got deleted. how about pinkbike you do a poll on whether or not it's cool to climb onto someone's roof and ride your bike off it causing a lot of damage, then run off sniggering saying 'go,go,go before being made responsible for the damage! yea i'm old, yea i'm grumpy but dammit that just aint cool.

also i guess it was kinda disrespectful but I'm sure he would have done it at any other suitable building so whatever

but the adult in me wept inside lol
That's definitely an expensive roof , on an expensive house. "go go go go ! " straight vandalism.

The rest of the riding was good, but I'm glad I didn't pay for it. Seeing the same jump three/trick times certainly drags out the length of the video.
* There's obvious vandalism there. It's clear they ran away and didn't pay
* Big tricks with no helmet is a turn off.
Anyway, good luck with the production career.
