He thanked me over and over every time I saw him for the remainder of the week, and that always stuck with me.

I automatically commented on how great his riding was, and he seemed stunned, unable to comprehend that people were appreciative of his riding, almost guarded. Plenty of video proof shows Taylor's amazing exploits on a BMX bike, and I can't overlook how genuinely friendly and gracious Randy was as a person.įollowing his clips in "Stoked On Being Pumped," Taylor was at Interbike in Las Vegas several years ago when I met him. Taylor quietly stepped away from the BMX spotlight earlier this year, and while he continued to ride, he was doing it without the pressure of sponsors or video deadlines. Randy Taylor with the second version of his signature Loosefer frame in 2010. In July 2011, he was able to start riding again after a year and a half, but required additional surgery in November 2011 to reduce pain in his foot and leg. Ensuing nerve damage required Taylor to undergo additional surgeries in his leg, to remove the hardware to stabilize the bones from the previous fracture. In early 2010, Taylor suffered a spiral fracture in his leg, which kept him off the bike for the majority of the year. He was no stranger to technical flatland-inspired combinations on street, but was also never afraid to fire himself down huge handrails or tailwhip what was arguably the biggest set of stairs to date on a BMX bike (as seen on the cover of Ride UK BMX Magazine several years ago.) Taylor's riding was as well-rounded as it could possibly be. Taylor had breakout sections in videos such as Mutiny's "Stoked On Being Pumped," "Road Fools 17," and clips in "Let's Get Mystical," as well as a jaw-dropping 2008 video bio in issue 69 of Props Video Magazine. Taylor had a signature frame dubbed the "Loosefer" which was available in top tube sizes that included 20.666 inches, and additionally rode for brands that included Etnies Footwear, Demolition Parts and éclat.

Feel free to get loose on a Loosefer this frame can take it. And he's gone above and beyond the call of duty to prove that the Loosefer V2.5 is a versatile frame that can hold up to the abuses of modern day street riding in Mutiny's recent videos. He can tailwhip down huge sets, but also get as technical as he wants on the tightest setups. Randy isn't afraid of too much in the streets. I should not have to add anything about Randy's wild brand of riding, but I will anyway. Additional highlights include an ovalized down tube and chain stays to prevent denting. Construction details include 4130 multi-butted chromoly with offset tubing in the front triangle, an offset machined head tube, externally machined B/B, wide stays for clearance and a custom external gusset on the down tube.

It still came out weighing 4.9 lbs.," he adds. Ten stairs are a modern day jump box, so we wanted to make something that is more durable. "Another factor was that the direction of street riding is pretty crazy right now. The production cost had been slowly rising and working on any product, the retail price is always a concern, and we want our products to be affordable," says Mutiny's Gaz Sanders. What's new? "We are no longer using heat-treating on the frame. In production for just over two years, the Loosefer has seen several revisions, hence the V2.5 addition to the name. The Loosefer V2.5 is a modern day street frame, with three top tube sizes (20.25", 20.666" and 21"), a short rear end (13"), a 75 degree head tube angle, 69 degree seat tube and a decent standover height (8.95" from center of B/B to top tube).
