Eddie Roman sent over this cool link the other day of the FULL Hammertime video. What’s Hammertime you ask? It’s pretty much one of the first (if not THE first) MTB video packed full of dirt jumping, ramps, flips, & basically riding MTB’s like BMX bikes. WAY back before the bikes were built to withstand the abuse. This video is straight out of 1995. I’ve got some parts in the vid, including the first flip ever on a MTB. And take note that I’m riding a Haro CROSS COUNTRY bike in all the clips. Straight bars, quill stem, flimsy wheels, you name. Ah, the good ol’ days!
The pic of me doing the flip is from one of the shoot days. Sheep Hills represent!
Check the links for the clip & to see the mad respect others are giving to the vid:
