Kink – One Hit Wednesday – Tony Hamlin

There’s no doubt that Tony Hamlin’s one of the gnarliest guys in BMX. But not everyone know’s he has an irrational fear of spiders. This is what happened when he spotted one sitting on the ledge he was aiming for in a manual line for Kink Squash it.

Or maybe it was just the pressure that comes with filming such tech lines. The only thing that’s for sure is, it would have been sweet to see him pull it.

Here’s the official story:
“Tony is pretty notorious for losing his temper while filming. He puts a lot of pressure on himself to do crazy shit, and when we’re filming for big projects like “Squash It”, it’s even more extreme. Tony was trying this bar manual to feeble switch whip for some time while we were visiting Seoul, South Korea. It was super cold out and also really windy, two factors that you don’t need in your life for barspin to manual lines. Eventually he lost it and sent his bike into this ledge, but since the front of the ledge was banked, the bike went flying, directly into Darryl’s LCD screen. Keep it together, Tony.”
