Welcome to the Team / Erik Elstran from Sunday Bikes

If you haven’t already watched Erik’s new Welcome to Sunday video, here it is. It’s actually kind of strange how there are so many videos being made every day, yet they are all basically the same. One doesn’t even fully realize this until Erik comes out with a new video and we remember how creative and original bmx can still become. A lot of pros today seem to have dialed in a set number of tricks, and progress themselves by taking those tricks to bigger gaps, rails, ramps, etc. Erik takes a whole different approach and doesn’t stop coming up with brand new ideas. It reminds me of how Jim C. did all those crazy new grinds on Road Fools. They were done on a basic short handrail, but still blew everyone’s minds because nothing like that had been done before. It set the foundation for people sending them down the scariest of setups today. That’s what I see in Erik’s riding. He is on the front lines of creating what riders in a couple years will be perfecting.
