We Need You: Best am ramp rider in the UK?
This is Alex Coleborn who rides for Total BMX. In this edit he’s unleashing a whole host of hard moves and even some new ones. The 540 bars to footjam whip… this is something we’ve seen Harry Main dabbling with in the past! A few trick he reels off, without much care – 540 bars, vader canadian, truck to fufanu, canadian footjam whip and a whip to footjam whip!
Anyway, check this out. Let me know what you think in the comments because this kid is out of hand…

September 29th, 2009 at 13:20
Yeah hes good but its just the same tricks over and over again. Mark Webb wannabe
September 29th, 2009 at 13:41
George is a jealous prick, he just wishes he could do that stuff
September 29th, 2009 at 13:46
the progression is unreal…i mean look how much better tht ramp is by the end of the edit….amazing..
September 29th, 2009 at 14:21

September 29th, 2009 at 14:25
The ramp in the second half is a different place to the one in the first half of the vid.
SO GOOD
September 29th, 2009 at 14:41

September 29th, 2009 at 14:43
Banging!! Alex is sooo good!! Truck to foot jam whip in five attempts, kids talented…Look out!!
September 29th, 2009 at 15:00
easily as stylish a chase hawk
September 29th, 2009 at 15:04

September 29th, 2009 at 15:25
insane best rider in uk
September 29th, 2009 at 15:34
Yeah he is unreal, defo going places with that bike !!!!!!!
September 29th, 2009 at 15:36
Nice stuff! Very similar to harry main and mark webb. But I still think Webby is the best park rider we have.
September 29th, 2009 at 15:39
turned it off after 30secs.
boring as f**k.
September 29th, 2009 at 15:40
ride for me
September 29th, 2009 at 16:21
Boring..
September 29th, 2009 at 16:56
much rather watch the s&m rail jam..im getting really sick of the sqeaky brake sound in all of these tech vids haha
September 29th, 2009 at 16:58
props to him he’s got crazy skills, but its was SO boring to watch
same ramp over and over doing lip tricks
i wanna see something interesting, not an entire trick list
September 29th, 2009 at 17:54
wooh,firstly if you think this is boring then your just jealous as fook..amazing,he is as good as any pro..if he was american he would be on top dollar.a 540 tap feels amazing so to be able to put a bar spin and a footjam whip in there aswell must blow your mind.rad as fook.
September 29th, 2009 at 18:28
TOO MUCH AT ONCE.
September 29th, 2009 at 18:33
right you fuckers that have given shit comments you can get fucked he lives in jersey, got one shitty skate park, the places that are in the vid are peoples own ramps aint built by anyone special. fair play to you alex your guna go far !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeh boi
September 29th, 2009 at 18:49
yea boi ripping it….. and fuck all u who gave bad comments your just jealous pricks tht cant ride bmx’s for your selves … have it
September 29th, 2009 at 18:54
yeah sam totaly agree this kid is the new face of bmx so get screwed all of those who cant face it \,I,,
September 29th, 2009 at 18:55
black woods, james, tim ocallaghan, jez , o dear :S, goerge ….. your all jealous pricks, leave a good comment or dnt comment atal u nobs …. JERSEY …. YEA BOI
September 29th, 2009 at 19:00
yeh boi fockin havin it son cya soon
September 29th, 2009 at 19:28
thoses of you sayn its boaring as fxxk and its the same ramp over n over same trixs blah blah blah,the 1st ramp you see is alexs in jersey the second is ours in guernsey,we dont even have a skate park for fucks sake!!! and jersey only just got there little outdoor park early this year! so its not like we got tons of parks we can roadtrip to unlike most of you guys on the mainland.and yea so wat,he does have a simlilar style to that of harry main/webb hes obviously seen them ride and was influenced by them, everybody gets influenced/motivated by somebody otherwise bmx would get no where!! if his riding is’nt your cup of tea thats fine just dont talk shit.
September 29th, 2009 at 19:36
dude how the fuck is he not pro i mean hes not THE harry main or mark webb but i mean hes SOOOOOO much better than some of the pros iv seen
September 29th, 2009 at 19:36
right, i am one of Alex’s mates so you may think i migth be biast towards him, but im not, to the people that think the vid is boring your comments are valid as it is your own opinion, some people dont like the tech stuff and prefer more street, dirt etc which is fine,
but what you dont know is as stated above he comes form a small island called jersey which did not have a skatepark untill last dec so basically he has learnt about 80% of those liptricks etc since then which i think is very very impressive!
on a recent trip to the UK where he rode with Mark Webb after an invitation from Mark to go over which is maybe where the Mark Webb influence comes from, he learnt flair whips, tripple whips 540 bar, 540 whip, 900 and many more all of which i had never seen him even attempt before hand…
all in all he is incredible on a bike and his prgression is at a rate i have never seen before
September 29th, 2009 at 19:58
sick whoever is winging about the riding lets see you do beter only then can you say anything about it and you should help him with his riding not slait it
September 29th, 2009 at 20:07
:O hes amazin
and to all the haters FUCK YOU
you prob cant do shit
September 29th, 2009 at 20:15
oh my fucking god thats insane- webby watch out! — with tricks like trucks to footjam whips why havent we heard of him before? haha
September 29th, 2009 at 20:35
yes the boy obviously has a talent riding a bike, but do something original. Mark Webb is enough, no more clones please.
September 29th, 2009 at 20:49
yeah man your gnna go far but all you have to do is leave home well leave this shittty island and get noticed
September 29th, 2009 at 20:52
hes good at every thing but it is a shame he dont do moto x because he would probably be good at that aswell
September 29th, 2009 at 21:14
very nice riding, again like everyone else said alot like mark webb but its still some sick riding
September 29th, 2009 at 21:28
amazing he got mad skillz.
September 29th, 2009 at 21:52

September 29th, 2009 at 22:22
alex totally kicks ass , this vid is sick !!
September 30th, 2009 at 00:08
i could not be more jealous of them skills
September 30th, 2009 at 07:21
yee alex sikk vidd
September 30th, 2009 at 08:58
sick vud amazing as they have nothing like corby near them to learn stuff on like most of us as he only has one park where he lives props!
September 30th, 2009 at 09:06
Wot bike is he riding? Is it a total? What model is it?
September 30th, 2009 at 10:37
Total Snapper I think?
September 30th, 2009 at 11:25
fair play alex. with 1 tiny park and a homemade shit half pipe you are definately flying the jersey flag! go big or go home!
September 30th, 2009 at 11:53
alex is riding for TOTALBMX and he will be on the our 657 frame and our 8.25 rise peace bars and our guy fawkes and thanks cranks(www.myspace.com/total.bmx).jim i wondered if you had read that above that he rides for us.
he is 17,and i watched him learn triple whips in two attempts after he watched webbie do one at total hq 7ft ramp.
watch out for him,he is going to be bigtime.
remo
September 30th, 2009 at 13:39
I guess one of the main issues here is this… If Alex turned up to a comp, would he really be in the am class. He’s consistent like a to pro us, first trick everyday I saw him was bars to foot jam! What is a pro? This is pro standard riding for sure like it or not..
September 30th, 2009 at 15:03
‘alex is riding for TOTALBMX’ – surely that makes him not AM?
September 30th, 2009 at 15:32
mini mark webb love it
cant wait to see alex in a few years.
September 30th, 2009 at 16:30
That was the most disgusting thing i have ever seen!
September 30th, 2009 at 17:28
JERSEY!!! same tricks over and over again that your cant do
!!
September 30th, 2009 at 17:55
this is such an amazing video, even if it is slightly boring.
definatly prefer this guy to mark webb though, alex lands everything just a little bit cleaner and rides with slighty more finesse.
September 30th, 2009 at 18:05
[...] Best am ramp rider in the UK? [...]
September 30th, 2009 at 19:26
man if you ain’t pro i aint even half decent, that was great
September 30th, 2009 at 19:35
impressive but at the same time i dunno if i give a shit
September 30th, 2009 at 19:43
alex ,,,, i ride wit u like nearly every day ( when i can be assed ) and i have never once seen you do a whiplash on the cooping hahahaha looks sweeeeeet yea boi
September 30th, 2009 at 20:55
Excellent vid mate,sooooooo smooth/fluid,the’s so many good riders in the channel islands but this is exeptional skillz.
September 30th, 2009 at 21:00
this is unreal man, well done pal ur doing jersey proud and fuck all u haters, u jealous pricks!!
October 1st, 2009 at 07:40
Right, I stopped the vid myself. Amazing riding, but yea, mix it up (sounds impossible for such a small island but hell throw in a wall ride or 2, i mean jersey does have walls I hope). But the main reason I stopped it is I couldn’t handle another fakie whip. first one cool, second one whatever, third one I would have rather seen anything but a whip. A plain simple hop when fakie would suffice and break up the fakie whip fiasco. Just because you can do something does not mean you have to do it. One can jump off a skyscraper, but are we all dead? And yea so many similar tricks… I know they are not the same trick, but it kinda felt that way. As another person mentioned, I too felt there was too much going on each trick. Any way to break up the vid, just balance a fuf for a second and bring it back it. Or stall anything for a short period of time
To all the hater bashers, you all look st0000pid. People can learn more from what “haters” have to say than the people jockin their sack. Retarded haters are an exception of course.
October 1st, 2009 at 11:27
Best vid i have ever seen this kid is amazing, hes gunna go far with them skills.
October 1st, 2009 at 20:02
Great Tech but the streets is where it is at and me riding with the likes of Harry Main and Mark Webb i know they can hit the streets can this kid?
October 1st, 2009 at 20:19
his middle name is Street
October 1st, 2009 at 21:57
Cheers.. not only can he do that on a bike.. he fucking kills the local ramps on a skateboard and blades.
October 1st, 2009 at 22:10
yer that was totally like 4 years ago man he just ripps it p on the bmx =)
October 2nd, 2009 at 05:09
UAH!!
Harry main, please awnser for her….hehehe….it`s a joke…
This guy is INSANE!!
October 3rd, 2009 at 01:28
No offence, The riding has tricks in it but its not clean at all. Below coping truck to fakies like every other rider, duoble whip tap to bitch crank in!? I would have done it till i did a clean one yknow.
The point im making is the tricks are nuts but have no flavour and to the fact he was riding an amazing spine mini hiped ramp but just went back and forwards on it not flying around at all.Sure thats fine if he likes to do that but to Me I would constitue a best rider to have his own style, take on riding and to at least see his face in the video and not just a trick section. Moreover He would not just do one big trick then do all the 1/4 pipe tricks he has just done already in the section.
This is my opinion.
Tho I bet the kid is a nice guy and as long as he doesnt comp people out in a session then Im cool with it.
happy days
October 5th, 2009 at 12:36
FUCK YOU REMO, I’M OFF TO AUSTIN!
October 5th, 2009 at 17:09

Is Alex riding for Total or have Sunday poached him?
October 5th, 2009 at 23:06
very good stuff, but he’s needs to bring in other tricks like no handers, tobogans, tables etc.

October 14th, 2009 at 23:10
i like when you go to a contest and everyone does all these crazy lip tricks bouncing around on there front wheels and then chase does a simple alleyoop air and everyone gasps and stops what they are doing to watch in awe…
