If you are anywhere NYC January 24th come to The Queens Museum of Art and see Dizz work the wedge ramp. He is flying out as part of my art installation. A bunch of NYC pros will be on hand as well as around 20 vintage bmx bikes. Feel free to contact me at humphreyryan@hotmail.com

AWESOME! What time? I hope it's in the evening, I have to work on Saturdays during the day. If it's in the evening I'll definitely be there.

My two favorite things, art and bikes.

I looked on the Queens Museum's website and I can't find any information.

Hope good video footage will make it to the net!

Yes please tape it for those of us on the "other coast" that cannot make it!

The day after my birthday It`s a thought in my head to fly up for this.

It was so cool to hang out and ride with John, tons of energy, innovative, positive, and totally gnarly on and off the bike! It was great to catch up with him at the 2002 Vegas Freestyle reunion and he's doin' really good!

Have to bust out some never before seen footage of DIZZ so hear ya go!!!

SEE DIZZ RIDE!!!

Would love to see him do some tricks on my "Luggage rack" CW

I spoke with the guy in charge of putting this together he seems like a really cool guy and very energetic to make this a great presentation. I am definetly going.

Wish I could make that one, NYC is poppin like hot bacon grease!

I might have to make the trip up to the city. I better rebuild my coaster hub!

Awesome! This had better be videotaped.

I got the day off! I'll be there for sure!

Lou come up!

I looked on the Queens Museum's website to see what their photo/video policy was. Many galleries and musuems don't let you take photos or videos. I only found something saying you can't use flash photography if you have an event there. I guess I'll call them and see if I can find out if I can bring the video camera.

Make sure you tell him I say "Hey!"

Now that is the Dizz I remember. Crazy fully past tweaked kickturn variations! That is an awesome pic in some many ways!

Awesome! I will be there.

UH! I wish I had this photo! There may be a shot of dizz in next weeks TimeOut NY!

I definately can`t go. Because my older daughter is in Canada there will be nobody home to help my wife with the baby. I tried talking my wife into going but I know I couldn`t handle a trip that long with my baby. Get some pics and videos.

This is just sick! Now I am psyched for this weekend.

Yeah that video was totally gnarly and wish I could see him ride again in person...real cool dude!

Great, I'll definitely be bringing my video camera too! I dont think I've ever seen Dizz ride in person. Better late than never!

Jeff

what time the show start?

got it

Any footy from this event yet?

last night was insane, the first person I bumped into walking into the bike area was Dizz behind the half pipe getting his vinatage CW gear on. Dizz is just as crazy as bitd. Great job to Ryan who is the artist that put everything together this was more than just a bike jam. He had a huge wall display of vintage rides, and some of his artwork on the wall which was BMX related, I am sure the pics will be up soon and Ryan will let us know where to see the video.

Dizz is the rider in the black Metallica shirt with a black helmet and black bike. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out which one he is after his first time on the kick ramp. Sorry for the grainy/blocky quality, the compression to get this video on youtube kinda killed it, but you can at least get a taste:

Awesome!!!!

Dizz must be around 40-something, and he still gets crazy limb extension on that stuff.

Wow that place was cool !!!! the ramps were to close to each other The man still has IT in him Thats all that Maters!!!!!!!!!!!! Just Ride A Bike LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOO HOO RIGHT ON DIZZ!!!! Still the King of Kick Turns!

That was a strange set up of ramps for sure.. What can you do with those weird ones in the middle,, nobody even used them.... Dizz in action.... It would be better to see some still shots of that stokeness..

Those pics on this thread are pure sickness.....

Since no one posted up pics yet - Here ya go

I Went. it was such an awesome Event...
the Art show was impressive and some of it was inspiring.

It was great to see the setting of the Worlds Fair in Queens too. i'd never been there before.

The OS Bike display was pretty impressive.


Here are some pics I took of DIZZ HICKS.
(still rocking the Metallica Shirt / and CW Leathers)





Here's another awesome rider that was ripping up the ramps on a newer bike.


--------------------

There was also a funny contraption put together by the host Ryan Humphreys.
a "Duchamp-esque" Found Object... adapted to the BMX theme.

A simple Stool - set up with a fork, pegs wheel, and brakes.

I took it for a spin... or tried to... it was pretty hard to maneuver.
(thanks to Guav and Smoovebert for the encouragement )






Overall it was an AWESOME event.
and I'm really happy I went.

Bump alert, I am trying to get the show down to MIA for Art Basel, anyone want to help me?
