It's been years since I've seen Dylan (X Games 2000 I believe), when I was in my younger years-Hutch trickstar days (yes that long ago!), Dylan lived just down the road! We rode together a fair bit, then wouldn't see him for a long time. Eventually he moved to the US, and has never looked back. Dylan has more tricks than you and I put together, i've seen some incredible stuff over the years, and remains very humble and out of the scene, I guess just how he's always liked it. Sorry to ruin it for a lil moment Dylan :), Last times with one of the best flatlanders ever! Respect is due!

With the brakeless, pegless riding going on, I'm waiting for his rear wheel on-the-pedal stuff to catch on again bigtime! Awesome tricks.
Ha, I liked the last question E.
Props groundwork was the first flatland video I owned, and Dylan's section really stood out in my mind, even though I was pretty new to riding at the time.
Obviously haven't seen too much from him since back then, but its good to know that he's still out there.

Good point Rick!
All that stuff you mentioned remains untouched, Dylan actually did a bunch of stuff pegless for his props interview!
Think about now all that stuff he's done that's remained untouched, xft locomotive gliding on pedal, the junkyard flips both sides, antrider gliding on pedal no handed, more modern day the bar flip backwards crackapckers spring to mind! What a creative talent!
Dylan is one of the all time greats! Never got the exposure he deserved, but never seemed to want it either. Keep killing it Dirty D!
The stuff he did on that Hutch (pre USA days) is untouchable seriously hard tricks i challenge anyone to try them to this day that trick repetoire is up there i recall at Rider Cup in 92 on that green S & M he was doing pedal stuff ,Worthings finest still as rad as ever.
Anyone remember Scott Santamaria, he did the locomotive on the pedal at the nbl make a wish foundation contest in Virginia. If i remember rightly that id what inspired Dylan to go in that direction. I've done the junkyard crankflip to junkyard on the other side, didn't even try any of the rest tho, bonkers stuff!
Scott Santamaria name rings a bell ,sick trick.
Scott rode with Craig Lepage, Mark teo, jay Jones, they were all at the Trier Worlds, classic contest. Also the video "A lesson in aggression" features Scott and aboe mentioned. (Ever so slightly getting away from topic here).
Also I forgot Cliffhanger turbines, Dylan killed this trick so long ago, baco 6??
he stayed at my flat for ever in Austin but I wasn't riding flat anymore and never rode with him sounds stupid now cant even think of a reason why I wouldn't have even gone watch besides the fact I was sewing all the clothes and shinguards for every bike company for 10-15 hours a day?? He did bring home a bag of bagels every night that the store put out as day olds that was our breakfast lunch and dinner :))))
Much respect Dylan come back I promise we will ride this time!!!
