Aoi – Backside Walkaround

We featured 14 year old Aoi doing a triple decade a while back, here he is again doing what I call an applecrate, (backside walkaround). Kid is good!

  1. Sorry thats not an applecrate. Check out dorkin 3, Mark Mckee does one. Its like stepping into a cherrypicker off the seat post one handed then coming out the other side. But the kid is awesome.

    • Thats what we call an applecrate here in the Uk! How to’s from Andy Brown in Bmx Action Bike way back in the day. So thats what I’ve called it for 15+ years I guess the same tricks can have different names globally Will. And yes of course I remember Mark McKee in Dorkin’ 3…..

  2. That is an Applecrate check out Fred Blood in TV’s RADDEST TRICKS video from 1984 he invented the thing and that my friend is an Applecrate,the one Mckee does in Dorkin 3 is an Excomumicator totally different, guess you should contact Fred Blood the inventor and get proof if it bothers you that much.

  3. Freestyle’s Raddest tricks video 84,101 Freestyle tricks part 1,Rad T.V ,numerous adverts for SE and General with Fred Blood (have you heard of him) a how- to in BMX Plus and Freestylin,countless pics in Freestylin of other with the caption Applecrate etc etc guess you could sue Andy Jenkins Editor at the time haha its an Applecrate aka Backside Walkaround ,E you know and i know what it is ,christ its in flatland folklaw for gods sake ,the Mark Mckee trick is in 88 wayyyy after and is totally different ,Andy Brown also did the Excomunicator a frontside versionas well as the Applecrate , if in doubt contact Fred Blood i’m sure he will help you.

  4. Tricks have so many names…Vertical Boomerang or Decade? Applecrate or Backside Walkaround? Caboose or Stick B? Whatever the case…this kid is rad. Long live back brakes!

    • exactly Tod! I remember decades being called around the worlds, anyone else remember that far back? 🙂
      Backwards decade brakeless anyone? hahaha
      I forgot all about the variations Andy Brown did, he was a beast! I have visions of a no foot can can fakie at the edinburgh ukbfa 4ft out with coaster brake, andy could do it all, always rode on the edge, as cheesy as that sounds. It was awesome!

      Getting off topic, the kid is awesome!! Skills!

  5. my point is this is an Applecrate (backside walkaround) the mc applecrate that Mark Mckee did in Dorkin 3 is totally different Will Redd is soooo wrong ,like i said its in flatland folklaw,Andy also did the Applecrates of the coaster brake like i did circa 1988 South Bank day, rolling Applecrates anyone ?? anythings possible i guess.
