IAN SCHWARTZ
hands down
he has way better control and style
August 12th, 2009 at 11:37 am
Ian may be the smoothest freecoaster rider out there, but no one even comes close to matching Bruce’s talent on a freecoaster. No one has even come close to matching what he did in the fcad video. He’s got unmatched style, talent, and originality. Plus he’s ridden pretty much every bike set up around over the years since he won the xgames.
August 12th, 2009 at 11:38 am
tht was rather shit really .
dave dilleward is the best , …..wait does he runa freecoaster….
August 12th, 2009 at 11:46 am

August 12th, 2009 at 11:49 am
karl poynter. all day. dan cox also. but bruce has the raddest half-cab to manual lines ever. so wild.
August 12th, 2009 at 12:44 pm

August 12th, 2009 at 12:55 pm
CORY JARMAN
August 12th, 2009 at 12:57 pm

August 12th, 2009 at 12:59 pm
ian destroys this.
August 12th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
Yep. I’d say Cory Jarman too. He has the craziest fakie whip and bar variations ever. Bruce is pretty amazing too.
August 12th, 2009 at 1:18 pm
IAN SCHWARTZ!!!
August 12th, 2009 at 2:02 pm
I LIKE BMX IN GENERAL!!!!
August 12th, 2009 at 2:27 pm
TJ henderson is the best freecoaster rider. Check it out at The 217 BMX wordpress.com
August 12th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
check out this dude for some good coaster action: http://www.vimeo.com/4435008
August 12th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
Bobby Kanode!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bruce, Poynter, and Jarman wreck it too.
August 12th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
the first rider I ever saw doing a real line of awesome tricks on a F/C is still the best in my opinion: Bruce Crisman.
And no, it´s not ’cause he’s in this video.
When I watched Façad’s video he became #1 for me. and then came federal’s video, and now this.
August 12th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
karl poynter
August 12th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
dustin fields….he’s pretty good too…….but he’s not pro…
August 12th, 2009 at 4:26 pm
i was pretty sure that on vital or here it was already decided that karl poynter is the people’s favorite. but that’s always questionable.
and i’m sorry for being picky, but i’m not a big fan of “let’s coast backwards all day on my freecoaster and half-cab out over [almost] nothing”. just cause you have a freecoaster doesn’t mean you have to be riding backwards in every single set you do (in the edit). freecoasters obviously help you do more, but isolating yourself to freecoaster tricks kinda ruins it (for me).
August 12th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
This is gay … no barspin no tailwhip no 360 no rail … just ride fakie and try to have a good style style is important but this guy do only easy thing but ” with style “
August 12th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
ian poynter and troy merkle all destroy but ian has talent and stle u cant even compete with
August 12th, 2009 at 5:43 pm
suck it cunt muscle!
August 12th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
bruce is a great rider but in this video it didnt show anything close to his full skill, his facad video was amazing but it seems to me that ever since he left federal for khe he has gone a little down hill but still bruce has done some massive stairs backwards and dan cox is trying to catch up to him
August 12th, 2009 at 5:56 pm
Josh Eilken
Shane Weston
Devin feil
Done.
August 12th, 2009 at 5:58 pm
Ian Schwartz
but troy merkle shits all over them
August 12th, 2009 at 9:13 pm
true man.
August 12th, 2009 at 11:46 pm
karl poynter for sure, just watch his shadow conspiricy videos
an
August 12th, 2009 at 11:47 pm
THE BEST IS PATRICK KING HEHEHE
August 13th, 2009 at 1:27 am
Ian Schwartz is my favorite for sure. I love his style. A lot of other frecoaster riders don’t look natural. Their lines always look like they did a normal run and forced a bunch of fakie tricks. Ian always looks smooth and natural.
August 13th, 2009 at 1:44 am
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhh, ian, merkle, kanode, not the gay guy in the vid and crisman for liffffffeee!
August 13th, 2009 at 2:07 am
I like his bike
August 13th, 2009 at 2:42 am
sorry but free coasters are SHIT
there was prob like 2 tricks in there which he didnt go backwards in
August 13th, 2009 at 2:49 am
CRISMAN AND BLACK ARE THE BEST
REPPING PORTLAND
August 13th, 2009 at 3:49 am
dan cox and karl poynter
August 13th, 2009 at 8:39 am
im with you
August 13th, 2009 at 9:29 am
crisman schwartz and jesus are my choice for top 3
August 13th, 2009 at 9:45 am
i cant believe no one gave respect to luc-e or bob scerbo
August 13th, 2009 at 11:39 am
all freecoaster riders are gay it is retarded and basically cheating
August 13th, 2009 at 11:39 am
be a real man and backpedal.
F/C’s are for pussies
terry adams, bobby altiser, tj henderson.
August 13th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
Bob Haro King!
August 13th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
00:13-20 doesn’t make sense. F/C are gay
August 13th, 2009 at 1:34 pm
Karl poynter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The biggest hustler out there!
August 13th, 2009 at 1:57 pm
We dont care who your favorite freecoaster rider is. The topic is THIS VIDEO. As for all you freecoaster haters, you only hate them cuz your mommy wont buy you one because they cost too much. So shove it. I ride cassette and FC.
August 13th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
All of you are ignoring tyrone williams! Hello, half cab no foot cans on a bank? tire grab no footers to fakie, half cab bars down 8 stairs, innovative lines on street. We can all respect that right?
August 13th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
SHANE WESTON WILL MERK ON YOU FOOLS!!!!!
August 13th, 2009 at 7:29 pm
freecoasters are just a different style and every pro rider thats runs a freecoaster is different and they are all very good
August 13th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
so are you
August 13th, 2009 at 8:33 pm
dude so true!!!! i miss scerbos FCing.. <3
August 13th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
thats right dude
August 13th, 2009 at 8:37 pm
troy merkle is the best !
August 14th, 2009 at 3:20 am
maybe i should be pro cuz i can 180 down a 7 stair all day with a cassette and mess up maybe 2 out of 10 tries….
August 14th, 2009 at 3:21 am
major props to freecoaster cats that shit was sick but it aint for me
August 14th, 2009 at 3:54 am
no ur wrong, it is not cheating it is a different way of doing things. it’s just like saying if u have breaks that cheating to ppl that don’t run breaks
August 14th, 2009 at 5:54 am
one reason why i’m not using FC is davey watson, i think he can do all FC things whith regular cassete hub, fakey manual to 540, fakey hang five and ofcourse offtopic but huge switch ice pick’s
August 14th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
sloppy
August 14th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
fuck this pussy shit. this shit is cheating. and i that 180 was so weak. regular cassete guys can do that shit way better that you. fuckkkkkkkkkkk!
August 14th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
your gay and dont know how to bike fag
August 15th, 2009 at 12:26 am
Cassettes are awesome. It is a different way of riding, and to anyone who has not ever ridden one, whether you like them or not, they are not easy by any means to ride with. you ahve to change the entire way you ride- you cant just give a little crank to help slow you down, or to get that extra force to pull the bike out of a fakie. None of this was weak, and these guys can really ride. Until we see ANY of the people who say otherwise on this site or in the mag, it is quite apparent that your rambling incoherent responses, doused in foul language, will not make you any of a better rider- little lone that your opinion will even be remotely considered. Well done guys! I want one, but I cannot ride them worth a damn :/
August 15th, 2009 at 9:51 am
i like the music who is it?
August 15th, 2009 at 11:53 am
poynter is the shit!!!!!!!
August 15th, 2009 at 8:15 pm
its a freecoaster edit dumbass, thats the point
August 19th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
my favorite freecoaster riders are ian schwartz, karl poynter, and bruce crisman. But Ian schwartz’s part from lotek mixtape is what inspired me to try freecoasters and i love it. This is why id have to say ian schwartz is my favorite. Then theres shane weston, this guy can ride backwards, very unique lines, im surprised no one mentioned him
September 9th, 2009 at 12:54 am
troy merkle is my favorite cause hes a local and he ride everything on a freecoaster
he comes to this trail spot and just shreds the trails and with the freecaoster its sweet cause theres no rolling noise so all u hear is the whoosh of rolling up the lips its awsome
karl poynter is sweet t though
September 23rd, 2009 at 8:45 pm
karl is homo,the best riders to watch on freecoasters are the guy on madera(forgot his name,and shane weston….and fuck faggot ass ian shwartz too,i dont like watchin 10000000 pedel slides in a 10000 minute video of his bull shit (up up and away part)
September 23rd, 2009 at 8:52 pm
troy merkle sucks weaner
September 23rd, 2009 at 8:55 pm
your a homo. trendy fuckin homo.
September 23rd, 2009 at 8:56 pm

November 3rd, 2009 at 11:50 pm
