Sometimes the borders get blurred between Old and Mid School, this 17 Expert run from Rob Compton at the NBL Nationals 1990 in Raleigh, NC does just that. The beginnings of Mid School tricks in old school uniform, Rob always killed it with a really fast, powerful style. Many of you might not know the name, but get to know it.

Rob was always high speed, great to watch! Don’t think he rides anymore Rodney
Sadly, Rob no longer rides. Health issues stopped him.
Likewise, rode with Rob and few times along with Keith King and Anthony Brogden a few times during the late 90’s. Amazing talent.
He rides the bike and not the peg. Today most people ride the peg and not the bike. Very cool. thanks for posting
That wide circle landspeeder! That was excellent to watch. And he was still running a freewheel!? Great riding.
I was fortunate enough to ride with Rob all the time. He was one incredible talent, and humble as they come.
