Tyler Wheeland: While I Have It

When Tyler Wheeland first hit the scene a few years ago, he was overlooked by everyone. His riding was pretty dull compared to the people he rode with on a daily basis. At an early stage of Tyler's riding he made the decision that he didn't want to become just another "So Cal Rider" sharing the same tricks and style, or should I say lack there of, as the majority of other riders in Southern California.

Tyler started to blend a lot of Bmx style into his tricks and riding, and people were liking it, a lot. He is most known now for his wallrides, being one of the best at them in the sport.

Tyler is definitely one of the most opinionated riders in the scene, if he has something to say, he will most likely say it, and accept the consquences after. To be honest that's just another thing that turn a lot of people on to Tyler, and sure it turns a few people off. Tyler now rides for Lucky Scooter Parts, and knocks out amazing videos from time to time. The video below is honestly amazing, check it out.

Tyler accepts that for him, riding is not something that will last forever...While that seems to be something he's easily accepted, I don't know if it's the same for everyone else who enjoys Tyler's riding.

Wow. This is amazing. Lucky's Tyler Wheeland has quickly become one of the sports most vocal riders on the online scene, and chances are that you either love him or hate him on the forums. Whether you think he's funny or just immature, I think this video really clears up what Tyler's real outlook on riding is...and I would go ahead and say he knows whats up. I don't know who exactly this Stephen Diaz person is whom made the documentary, but he did an amazing job, super well done.

  14. I love how everyone hating on Tyler prefers to stay anonymous. 90% of you need to realize that Tyler acts like a dick on the forums just to get a reaction out of you and that's what he gets.
    I absolutely loved this video. I really liked the idea of a documentary and Tyler def made it look legit. HP for life dude.
    Steven stole my fucking post so this next part is intended for him. Crucio cunt

  15. This documentary on Tyler was so good !
    I love the way that was filmed and edited, it make this video so professional and interresting to watch. I think he has to keep this way of seeing scooter like he does, because, that's how everyone should do. But unfortunately, almost nobody think like him...
    According to me, I prefer a video like this instead of a kid whom backflip his local park everywhere... Good job Tyler !

  23. I just feel like the video is a little fake because Tyler, you don't really come off as a guy who truly loves to ride and keep pushing yourself. I wish the slow-mo was better used, considering it was like a RED camera slow-mo quality. But hey, this is the opinion of an ugly piece of shit with a gender confused brother, so it's not like it matters.(I'm not sure why I even bothered to post my name when I have those final words above Tyler. hahaha)

  24. Set your goals? the wonder years? Fuck yeah Tyler!! Although I'm not a big fan on SYG newest CD but none the less an awesome band.Anyways Back in 07 i was the only kid at the skatepark riding scooters, now only 3 years later there are more riders than skateboarders and bikes combined. Now i feel that its my job to keep their passion in the sport without Being looked down on just because of the skill level.

    Tyler you say whats been on my mind for a while now. I;m not getting any younger. i'm 21 now and i'm not getting any younger.Great edit and this was more than just riding.

  27. well yeah people get sick when they drink to much.. maybe learn how to ride before you enter a comp so you dont have to worry about last place"?? or maybe you could learn some harder tricks and be a dick to yourself not everyone els. the camera qualitysa and editing were gread but honestly? the riding in this a4 year old could do that shit first try
