a few years ago i didnt really have very much direction in bmx (a little over deep but im going somwhere hold on) i would ride a bit of trails, a bit of park, and a bit of street but didnt really know much about any style untill one year when i went to the old King Of Concrete down southsea.
there was a man with a stall selling a couple different videos (and i meen vhs) one of them being something like cream (really cant remember) and another being NSF 2, well to cut a long story short my mate phil bought a copy of cream (cuz i told him to) and later changed his mind and swaped it for NSF 2.
This swap was the best idea in history we got back from southsea and the next morning i had bangs at the door followed by phil waking me up so i could watch quote "the best fucking shit you will ever see done on a bike!!!" at first i thought it was a dream, it was early, who wakes up this excited and this early?... a couple minutes pass and i realise phil is still in the room pointing at the tv so i get up.
i wake to an onslaught of O.G. bmx stunts the likes know one had seen before and my first visual of a crankflip (the most awsome trick of the day) opened my eyes to the ways you can ride street.
if you can get hold of a copy of NSF 2 and watch it in original crapy vhs quality its still good, if you cant be bovered with that streetphire are starting to upload loads of sections to there vimeo acount just like this one of the jimrik...
damn son thats one fine looking section, enjoy...

yo nsf on vhs was the one video the video that got me well into street and riding, it seemed to have the same magic quality on me that it had on you, me and my mate darren would wake up every day and watch the video from start to finish,including all the crazy shit at the end before we would do anything. i rember watching the "whip in the bedroom" advert on slow mo about 20 times in a row and evry time going "fucking hell thats amzing" (that was back in the day when whips of the floor wernt being done by everyone under the sun.
basically i love nsf video it was fucking boss and still is im so glad its on the dvd of nsf 3 as i have worn my copy out but still have it in my video cabinet to remind me how rad those days were.
i could go on forever bout this video but ill just sum up with a few bullet points of boss things i rember.
