I havent seen Ross Smith since his days here in norcal. If you want to see some good Ross footage, check out Blend. Hell, check out Blend whether you like ross or not. Awesome video.

I also have some footage of Ross from the Burning Bike Festival in 1998. Its currently stored on a camcorder tape (high 8?), but the footage was shot by some amatuer nucklehead (me). I'll see if I can get it transfered onto my computer, but the footage is real shaky and stuff. Mabye not even worth the time...

Im glad to hear he is still riding. His multiple rolaids were just plain crazy.

I would guess that Ross might be the the best "unknown" rider ever. I remember seeing him in Norfolk, VA. in 1990 and just being completely blown away. Jumplashes will never go out of style. Double rolaids....those double rolling walkover things...some of the hardest tricks ever.

I just found some awesome ross smith footage from back in the day! I got the Dorkin Box Set for christmas from my wife. The box set has a bonus section that includes riding from many of the different jork jams over the years. A very nice bonus section!!!!!
There is a skinny, young ross smith riding flatland in that section! I was amazed to see this, because I have never seen footage of ross this old. It was from 1994. Awesome.
I would highly recommend the Dorkin box set to any serious flatlander. Its a piece of history. Amazing riding from all flatlanders, especially kevin jones and chase. Dorkin 4 and a half and dorkin 5 are just simply amazing. Go buy it.

I popped that tape into my old camcorder, and its got a lot of static and lines. Really bad. Sound is all garbled too.

Not sure if its the tape or the camcorder. I tried using a cleaner tape on the camcorder, and that has not helped.

Hopefully, my footage isnt ruined :(

Ive been in contact recently with Ross and you can expect to see some new footage of him very soon from a couple different sources. There are also a couple videos I made from the mid 90s with Ross Smith sections in them called Doses.
Here is a review ewire did on one of them.
Note: Do not send anything to that address I have not lived there in 8 years

Ross is an alien — he does all the tricks you never wanted to practice. How many kids have you seen hit a triple rolling walkover? Huh? Rewind. Slow motion. Rewind. Slow motion. Rewind. Frame advance. I still didn't know what the hell was going on.


lol. So true.
