How do you destroy a modern BMX bike in five seconds or less? Try the Austin Church gap, of course:

I know Jimmy Levan, sir, and you’re no Jimmy Levan. That said, ridiculous props for even attempting it. Solid Steel for sure.

If nothing else, this should serve as a public service message in support of straight-gauge spokes, 48-spoke wheels and (gulp—check 1:46) bars with fewer butts than a Sir Mix-A-Lot video. Not that a stronger rear wheel wouldn’t have self-destructed too, but man. Dude’s lucky his bike was the only thing that got destroyed. And cracks or no, I’d retire every part on it with full honors.

Obviously I have no intentions of jumping TACG™, but my new/old bike is ready for it on the off chance I lose my freaking mind:

In semi-unrelated news, there has been a Troy McMurray sighting on the East Coast. Hide the women and children.
