100% agree ppl don't TALK about ppl like this as much as they should! A lot of the ground breaking world records or worlds 1st, couldn't have been done without guys like THIS in the picture. Ppl like him need to be identified in each record broken or any other type of work they do
I remember being 13 years old and cutting out pictures of Nate Wessel and stapling them to my wall. Mind I am 31 and ever day I wonder why I stopped riding. Watching this really reminds me of the fun times I used to have on my bike and building trails.
same boat. I stopped riding for 9 years, and just recently started back up again. I wish I never hurt my back back then. Now nothing will stop me from staying off of it.
I feel you guys, I'm 31 this year as well. I remember reading one of his interviews back in the day, I think it was in "RideBMX" shortly after he started building ramps professionally. He was talking about walking into a dodge dealer and he told them he wanted the biggest, baddest truck they had and they looked at him like he was a joke because of his crazy hair and stuff. Then he whipped out a handful of cash and they all straightened right the hell out lol. Him and Vic Murphy were two of my biggest influences growing up riding. True street/dirt diehards that just inspired the hell out of me to ride anything and everything in front of me.
Wow.....just wow. I remember watching the uncontainable video the day it dropped. I was mind blown!! I always wondered though, who thought of that? Who build it? Same goes for Pastranaland....who's the brilliant mastermind behind all this craziness?! Now we know! Also major props 🤛 for your simple session designs! I love watching simple session every year!
I've had the opportunity to meet Nate and Ron, and they're both such a down to earth guys. Their careers obviously shows how creative they are. I used to watch them in old BMX videos. I practically fanboy'éd out when I saw them both at Woodward PA during the off season while on a trip with a previous sponsor to shoot a video at the camp and advertise their upcoming summer program. It was an honor to meet them both.
When it comes to skateparks you never really think about the guy that builds them, thanks redbull for showing the hard work that goes into building these
Hey this is that guy we used to call "The wannabe Joe Rich" . Damn good thing he's doing something major. Caught up on the old riders i used to watch LIke Taj, Joe Rich, Van Homan, etc. Then got a punch in the gut when i looked up Stephen Murray.
I first saw wessel in a road fools video from the late 90s early 2000s I can't exactly remember but it was a video tape that's how long ago it was. But Nate was at this one park and he just hucks it out of some bowl or something full speed and onto some building at this park. It was amazing to watch then and I'm glad he was able to keep building and creating amazing stuff.
If you're looking for raw emotion, soulful voice. look no further than Charles Bradley's cover of "changes". The live performance he does for a radio station in Toronto is hauntingly beautiful
I'm a skater, rider and I love carpentry. I always wanted to build ramps this guy is so inspiring. damn I love to be his apprentice. I'm fuckin struggling to find reliable honest employers, been down. But this really inspired me to get out there and make it happen. This is why we live for the passion and progression of raw adrenaline sports.
I didn´t know, that he´s doing such crazy stuff. I only knew him from the Mat Hoffman´s Pro BMX games, where he was one of my favorite Charakters. Dude, he´s a much bigger Player in the Game than I expected.
I remember, i first saw Nate, in a bmx feature film, called Props road fools 4, like 90's or very early 2000's, he was a heck of a rider, and influencer ...
Being from northeast Ohio, it's rare to get any exposure that doesn't have to do with LeBron James or the Cleveland Browns being more terrible than before. Watching this video was absolutely thrilling. Knowing that Nate built every skatepark I progressed in since I was 10 years old and seeing him getting the exposure and respect he deserves is awesome. Action sports wouldn't be where it is today without Nate Wessel and Scott Powell starting it all with Chenga and Chenga 57, and I'm lucky enough to say I spent countless hours at both of them. This video kicks some serious ass and I'd love to see a full length feature.
I want a full length documentary about this guy.
Same here bro
I said the same 😂
Yes! Each project explained and troubles that happened during building :)
100% agree ppl don't TALK about ppl like this as much as they should! A lot of the ground breaking world records or worlds 1st, couldn't have been done without guys like THIS in the picture.

yessss

I'm 31 and I still ride. who cares man be a kid forever
