Around this time was when my family were really into going to the dunes in their early 20s. Around 2003 is when everything went to shit so videos like this take me back. Thanks dawes!
@@barneyba Sorry or the long reply. Dad turned into a drunk and my uncles started running the streets getting into heroin. Mom held it all together since then. Got my YZ 450F last year and have been back in it since then. Times went to shit and now they are good again. 24 now so i got a long way to go and much fun to have lol.
That’s exactly the truth. I was born in 80 so that’s my era. I’m in south Alabama and we got some decent places to ride.... or used to before they started developing our fav spots so there’s less and less places to ride every day. Never had the $ to go anywhere awesome like where y’all live or go to. So glad we got videos to watch
@@1XMuleX1 Can relate. Left the shit for the USAF and just got back on two wheels myself a year and a half ago. Didn't like riding on the east coast where I'm stationed and brought it back out west to the desert. Every time I take leave to ride it's the best time of my life.
This is awesome. Thanks for sharing this. Cool to see rare footage of guys that motivated me as a kid. I feel a little older when the og’s stop riding or sharing footage. Also when the fast guys retire. Life’s short, enjoy every ride🙏🏼
Damn Mike looks young as hell, I still remember in high school my buddy and I were blown away by Metz doing heel clickers and grabbing his front fender. Oh good times!
You put out the dopest stuff, just hands down the best. Period. Every time you upload it’s like a new crusty or terrafirma vhs just got in at your local Moto store..
Crazy to think that maybe 15 years ago when I was alittle kid my older cousin would tell me all about twitch and how he knew him. Still to this day I will never forget my older cousin telling me all about him! 🤘 so sick!
Once I met The Godfather himself at The Big Nasty Hillclimb in Idaho. He was humble nice guy. He signed my infants Onesy. Still have it to this day. We drove from Portland, OR to see this event and Mike sure showed up. I watched him climb the hill and jump 80ft down a steep embankment. This guy has real deal free riding skills !
At 8.50 there is a part where they have the bikes parked up. If you look closely both bikes are totally coverd in plastics can't even see the head of the bikes, we're do you get plastics like that? Are they for stopping the sand getting or is it just looks? I can't find a picture of bikes like that anywere. ..
Nick C, you and I partied way back in the day....Riverside Metro days. You always talked about filming/knowing Metz and I never believed you. I eat that full plate of crow sir! LOL.
Dude l miss watching you ride and dominate your field. I’m 42 so l followed everything you did. I hate you got all those injuries but l can relate. I got about 5 LBs of metal holding my skeleton together from tryn to improve my skills but anyways man YOURE THE SHIT AND THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION YOU GAVE ME TO IMPROVE AND TRY NEW THINGS. I HOPE YOURE DOING GOOD THESE DAYS AND MAY GOD (Jesus) BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
Been trying to find these sand covers they have on the bikes. Anybody have an idea on what they are? What do you think Dave? My favourite video on your channel so far. 🤟🏻
That shell reef double double is weak even by 90s standards! I know, I used to hit it, and I was a novice at the time. All good, 90 s moto was the best!!
I was wondering the same thing, at one point they park the bikes up and stand next to them for photos I was pausing trying to get a better look. The plastics seem to come way down covering a lot of the side. and earlier I heard him say time to start the beast I thought he might of been on a yz490,
Looks like same one to me, he pure wrecked his bike aswell on it. but was sitting there 2 broken legs and talking like it was nothing. It wasn't until the writing came on the screen saying what bones he had broke I was like fuk me that gotta be sore. He was sitting so chilled aswell,
Dave what happened to metzger back 3 mins 10 second in? I've seen that gnarly scar on a few videos looks like a burn, wen u Google what happened to metzger back it just comes up with the time he fuct his back jumping boat to boat, but I don't think that's the type of scar from an operation it's to messy ????
@@dawesvideos oh right, that explains why it's such a gnarly scar and looks like a burn, must of been in his racing days was it, thanks for answering 👍✌✌
Times have sure changed, forgot how goofy metzger was and that no fear gear would still look fresh today
These videos are underrated, miss seeing stuff like this🤘🏻
Awesome 🤘🏼 loved Metz and that silver yz, was cool seeing twitch ripping a 125 as well
Your videos are the best I’ve found. This is what a memory feels like.
Around this time was when my family were really into going to the dunes in their early 20s. Around 2003 is when everything went to shit so videos like this take me back. Thanks dawes!
How did things go to shit?

This is what started the quater pipe compition. The real OGs ..
Hey look at that 2020 yz250 he's riding
I get it.
I get it too
Some things never change🤣
Engine is same but 2000 is a steel frame. Same engine tho since 99.
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
So happy that a grew up in this time period. Was so shocked to see Reagan in this. All stoked to see a local Okanagan boy from BC in these movies.
Hell yes Dave!!! I was afraid the goldmine was gettin’ tapped and you brought us more gold!
😂😂😂😂
🤣😂
First lol......Thanks dawesvideos for the upload!!! i love these old vids.
This is awesome. Thanks for sharing this. Cool to see rare footage of guys that motivated me as a kid. I feel a little older when the og’s stop riding or sharing footage. Also when the fast guys retire. Life’s short, enjoy every ride🙏🏼
Thank you🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

He was like early 20s here
This must have been around the same time as Chapter 1? One of the best fmx vids ever made. Metz is the man.
Every time it’s a joy thanks for everything
How is the audio so damn good!? Sounds like everyone is mic’s up! Thanks for the vid bro
Twitch always killing it
Told twitch to step up and Haha man did he show metzger haha.
Metzger Wells! What a classic!
You put out the dopest stuff, just hands down the best. Period. Every time you upload it’s like a new crusty or terrafirma vhs just got in at your local Moto store..
I miss nofear so much
Nobody talks about the metz anymore. Dude was wicked on a bike, one of my first favorite fmx riders
That was a cool video Dave! Cool seeing Metz, thanks for the upload!
Thanks for this upload dude!
Crazy to think that maybe 15 years ago when I was alittle kid my older cousin would tell me all about twitch and how he knew him. Still to this day I will never forget my older cousin telling me all about him! 🤘 so sick!
Back to the future.. amazing video !

Twitch on a 125 is awesome
Hahaha for a sec I was thinking does Metz have Tourette’s also🤣then I figured it out🤓
Totally forgot about Split. Dope video
I was ten years old so this was like a gathering of the gods to me. Lol still is actually:)
I love this!
24 years ago is so fucking crazy
Thx dawes!, please more old schold!

Those are old school plastics from back in the freestyle days in the early 2000s, nobody uses that cringe sh*t anymore lol
Ahhhhhhhh the good ol days!!!!
Pretty freaking AWESOME!!!!
Man that scar on metzgers back is so gnarly, whats that from? Is there footage of it happening?
Wow the 250s were so pokey, one touch of the throttle gets an instant braaa
Dam dude I’d love to even just ride with these dudes I’ve always been a fan of FMX and freeriding
Love these videos.
Dave you know the drill. enjoy your week brother
Even then, Twitch was always the most naturally talent free ride guy..."Step up Twitch!!"... lol he kills st Ocotillo
Nick C, you and I partied way back in the day....Riverside Metro days. You always talked about filming/knowing Metz and I never believed you. I eat that full plate of crow sir! LOL.
Metzger dosen't get enough credit... FACT! Thank you DAVE!

Dope channel !! Subscribed 🫡
Were those stock bars on that yz125 at the beginning of vid? 😁
I would watch more of these. !! Thanks for yo
twitch has all the skill in the dessert
These are the clips from chapter one and it is what it is huh?! I love itttt 🤘
Old metz footage has to be the best haha
Hey Dave, do you notice chemtrails in your old vids??
Twitch on the 125 comes in at the end to show The Godfather how to crank a turn down
Metz was the only one who went for the bigger line
the old silver front fenders
The God Father of FMX!!! 🤘💀🤘
That red shirt 😢❤
Even before thumbnails they got a good thumbnail
You have the lost footage!!?? Sick #braaaaaap
Twitch on his 125 hahaha awsome
How shit are them stock bars on the yz
"What do you think Dave?"
I always wondered if dave had his own bike to keep up with the dudes, or if he just hitches a ride to the next jump? or what? ha
Time fucking flys
Yeah it does
Step up twitch! .. goes for it.. classic
Hahaha dude twitch on some gymnastics shit with his heel clicker at 8:55 higher than his head wtf hahahah
Taylor J Robinson he even twitched after
Metzger Wells
My favorite sign ...the Brown one..😂
I’m surprised someone hasn’t built a modern 500cc for free riding!!!😎💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I miss ocotillo being this empty
Riegan Sieg, the snowbike king!
That shell reef double double is weak even by 90s standards! I know, I used to hit it, and I was a novice at the time. All good, 90 s moto was the best!!
devils play ground. been there a few times
Yeah, best videos . wish you make some money with this vidz.
I was 11 years old, jncos and prolly getting in trouble somewhere, blonde tipped hair.
Before twitch used to call the grandfather
What kind of bike is Metzger riding
I'm pretty sure it was a YZ250
I was wondering the same thing, at one point they park the bikes up and stand next to them for photos I was pausing trying to get a better look. The plastics seem to come way down covering a lot of the side. and earlier I heard him say time to start the beast I thought he might of been on a yz490,
Jeremy pulled it 👊
DrrrragguunnnBack😂
I’m friends with Mike’s son Myrie. The mannerisms are familiar. Genetics is weird.
Is that were Steve Madrano cased it and broke his legs on Children of the Metal God 2.
I believe that was caineville Utah
Looks like same one to me, he pure wrecked his bike aswell on it. but was sitting there 2 broken legs and talking like it was nothing. It wasn't until the writing came on the screen saying what bones he had broke I was like fuk me that gotta be sore. He was sitting so chilled aswell,

He got wedged between another riders rear tire and rear fender and the tire ripped his back apart.
@@dawesvideos oh right, that explains why it's such a gnarly scar and looks like a burn, must of been in his racing days was it, thanks for answering 👍✌✌
Who know what red shirt he wear
Step up dogs the big one twitch ok greased it first try lmao
Twitch wasn't hitting the same line as Metz
Can I have my non butchered version
El Twitcho showing Metz what’s up
No fear chapter one
(2000)
Eckō team racing 🦏🏍🏍💨💨
Film doesnt do it justice, these jumps are way hairier than they look
I guess he didnt buy into the 4 stoke koolaid bandwagon.
Oh no...who its scaring
Twitch with the clean 180
Damn twitch out riding the godfather on a 125 lol
Two different lines on that jump they were hitting, it's hard to see from our perspective but Metz was trying something different.
Twitch is the Godfather Deagan 38 is the grandpa Metz is the cool uncle
Metzger was cool as hell until he starts talking
Blumpy......
