Well, good morning
Bumex arrggh, how's it going? Everybody out there in the virtual world. It's another month. It's another one of those months
I'm gonna do a rider profile or spotlight. Oh, yeah rider spotlight. Either way you get what I'm saying?
This is a segment where we talk about riders that people probably don't know Underground riders
people that live on the west coast people that live on the east
mexico canada
All around the world. I'm just trying to do something to showcase and give back to riders for this month
I'm gonna choose someone that I actually know now normally people be like, oh that's like cheating
Well, realistically it's not cuz well, I guess it's all up to me to do the picking
so this month I'm going to pick Oscar Ruiz and Oscar Ruiz is from Passaic, New Jersey and
He came from Colombia what I love about Oscar
Number one other than being the most humble dude, you will ever meet if you ask this dude for $20
he will have no problem reaching in his back pocket in grabbing 20 bucks and
Given $20 to you if he knows you if he's your friend. He's just one of those guys that's down for anything
Doesn't talk does everything let's talk about his writing. His writing is
Phenomenal and to give you a little background story on him. I believe when he was 12. He started out Racing BMX and
If you guys all want the secret to be a well-rounded rider my suggestion to you Racing BMX
Racing BMX seriously gives you bike control
discipline now as corny as it sounds
Discipline is pretty good when it comes to controlling your anger and all that bull crap
But also just bike control is a huge thing to have now Oscar can ride it all he can ride skate parks
He kills it on the trails. He's one of those dudes that can go to the trails roll up
Grab his bike out bro up to the trails take one
Look, no, puss runs nothing and go through the whole set first try. No problem
Just one of those great riders that's like that and let's just not get it wrong
If you haven't seen this dude ride Street, you're missing out Oscar can ride Street
He's got a really really deep bag of tricks now Oscar isn't one of those riders that you're like. Oh
When you watch him
You know when you're flipping through Instagram and you click and you go oh this rider and you know two
Seconds in you can already guess what he's gonna do
Oscar is one of those dudes that you're like, oh you just did that
Oscar is one of those riders the good thing about those riders is they're
unpredictable and they're hard to guess but then at the same time when you get to know somebody that's just
as good as he is you do this you watch him and he does like a
360 I don't know truck driver and then does a down whip and then does a double bar and you're like, okay
He's just one of those riders when you see him do something
You just expect him to do it cuz it's Oscar and that's a great thing about a man
I have taken tons of trips with this guy I have
I've been stuck on the George Washington Bridge with his ass and I've been miserable
complaining crying
Hating my life cuz if anybody's been here to New York and you live in, New Jersey
We all know we love to pedal and go all the way to New York
But the trip coming back sucks cuz you're going uphill it's dark you've been riding Street in New York, which is all day long
You're tired. You're cold. You're miserable. You're hating traffic
and all you want to do is get to your car and end today and every time that me and Oscar and everybody goes and
Does that all of us are bitching and complaining and the Oscar just has this on his face that?
Good smile man, cuz he just loves to be on his bike
He loves riding and he's just such a great dude such a team player now
I know when I do these segments all you guys sometimes will watch these if you're watching them and go like oh
Well, how is Rickey gonna you know, he always says that he's gonna be picking all these people and doing this, you know
realistically
it's really hard for me to do this sometimes because there's just so many people to pick and
I have a full-time job
Number one and I have a personal life
So sometimes I always like cut it really short and the deadlines and it's like one more day
I have to hurry up and get this done before the next month comes and I really really want to thank Brando
We're out there for you know sticking together with me because to be honest working with me is kind of a pain in the ass
cuz I'm so I'm like did it I'm like a
Pinball or a laser beam that flies everywhere. Seriously when you get a chance go to Instagram and right here will be Oscars name
I want you to follow him now. He doesn't post every single day
but when he does post there good quality amazing and
Oscars own style is so great
now I'm gonna do something kind of funny here and
I'm gonna throw in a bonus Rider and this bonus rider is Juan Ruiz and you're probably asking yourself
hmm who is one well one is
Oscars little brother talent doesn't fall far from this tree this kid
I've known him since he was like 13
And I remember just riding around with them and he was just a kid peddling and wanting to keep up and he had that ambition
and that hunger and what I loved about one is
When you have a brother like Oscar who's really super talented
But doesn't try like Oscar is one of those dudes where it's just natural ability
There's no trying. It's just effortless now
You take his little brother on the other hand and his little brother
all he wants to do is be just as good as his brother, but secretly wants to be better and that kind of drive is
amazing
Oscar's little brother I swear within the last year has learned so many new tricks
He's got nollie bars on lock. He's doing down whips tail whips truck drivers
Oh and the same trick that every kid has
nowadays
not every kid but a majority of all these kids that are getting really good all have double bars and
What I really love about Oscars little brother is the hunger
so to all you kids out there if you got an older brother that rides BMX the key to
getting good at BMX is
just to have the goal of being like
You know what?
I'm gonna be better than my brother and when you have a brother that's like Oscar that's
Super amazing and really good
You can tell that one is going to be really good when he gets older now wanna 18
I think you just graduated high school has a full-time job. Just like Oscar Oscar has a full-time job
So both of these boys when they get on their bike, they're just out having fun and doing what they want
Now when you get a chance
Make sure you follow Oscar and make sure you follow
One and I think Juan's Instagram is like flings or something to do with tossing bar spins
You'll see when we show the clips
And also, I like to thank all of you guys that sit through here and watch these ten minutes of me
just sitting here rambling on and talking about writers and I really want to thank you guys from the bottom of my heart and
All the support and everything that I get from people is amazing
It's overwhelming cuz I could just go to a random skate park and a person will show them like hey
I watched what you and Brant Moore did and it's really amazing that you guys are doing this for the riders
You should take a look at my friend. He's really good and that's good
Give me more suggestions
if you have a rider out there that you think I should do this on tag them below in this video on YouTube or
Go to my Instagram and you can DM me or you can write a comment
Anything you can do will help cuz I can't see everybody and it's really hard
But at the same time I want to try to show everybody that I can give them love, you know what I mean?
So I hope you guys enjoy the video that Bratz more put-together
And also make sure you guys follow Brant more in his page Bratz more does a lot for BMX
He's a great guy
everything he does is seriously to give back, you know majority of some people have pages where they're just like
Oh, I got a pump stuff out so and get these numbers and I can do this
I'm telling you Brett more lives in the middle of Ohio or wherever he does out in the middle of a farm and I'm telling
