Allan Cooke // Saving the Best for Last

Спорт

In “Saving The Best For Last,” a former BMX kid eventually, at age 40, finds the capability of a mountain bike and merges his past with the present for some wild stunts.
“I couldn’t not, I just couldn’t drive or ride past these spots anymore without knowing what it felt like to ride them,” Allan Cooke said. The Old Dawg is up to the same tricks-enjoy the show.

    Proof you don't need a billion dollar budget to be excellent. This made me want to ride more than any over produced drone zipline slowmo hype edit ever did. The focus is on the riding , not the hype. Keep up the good work.

    Seems like every day I find a bmxer I used to look up to and love watching from my bmx days, riding a mtb. So much of my mtb riding style and inspiration comes from those days, and it’s so rad seeing all these riders absolutely shred big wheel suspension bikes. Stay rad!!
