Cruisers have proven themselves at the trails, track, park and the street. They’ve also shown that they are more than capable flatland machines.
That’s why I find it a bit surprising that we haven’t seen more cruisers on vert. Pictures and web edits are few and far between.
But I’ve done some digging…and this is what I came up with.
If you’re old school, you probably remember this BMX Action magazine cover, featuring R.L. Osborn and Eddie Fiola busting a couple of flatties on the T.O.L. ramp on some 24″ test bikes.
Then there was this picture of Joe Rich tearing up the Terrible One ramp on a Volume Sledgehammer. (I love this picture…awesome style.)
More recently, Ollie Sandles posted the following web edit of Peter Beer shredding a concrete bowl on his cruiser.
Will we see more photos and footage of cruisers on vert? I think it’s just a matter of time.
