The year is 2009… Dak has left Lotek for Vans, everyone is snapping Pitchforks, rumours of a break-up at FIT are live annnnd in Ride UK’s 2009 Ride To Glory… Ben Hennon of Vans UK – eggs rival Odyssey TM TM, Jim C… the BMX forum/blog sphere is ignited
It “WAS” a hilarious video. Hennon takes the piss, Jim C takes it the wrong way.. and drama plays out.
Jim C continued to be grumpy about the whole ordeal. I wonder with his spurt on TV at the start of his running career he’s had the whole saga scrubbed… sad state of affairs when you cant have eggs on Sunday

Nah nothing of the sort. It’s only relevant to those from then, most couldn’t give a shit now or even know or care who both riders were.
Personally I thought ben went to far, Jim’s a solid guy and I’d probably react the same.
Also everyone breaking pitchforks? Yeah that didn’t happen ? Although granted by this era and still pretty much true now, everyone was running odyssey race forks.
Got this on DVD somewhere.
Wow Jim Cielinski that’s a name I haven’t heard in a while
Anybody that wears or wore their hat backwards and to the side has and will always be a d bag. But wearing white sunglasses as a dude is sus also. Makes sense neither squared up. Both prolly ride dudes and or scooters now
Thank you for posting this and restoring some sense of enjoyment/fun I’ve seen from reddit bmx lol.
I think next it’s time we bring back up the dinosaur cancan handplant lol
