2Hip Meet The Street, Palm Springs, CA. october 1990.
Jay Miron did his new sponsor Bully no wrong by winning the Great class hands down: No footed 360's over the spine, full-steam-ahead nose wheelies across the table and perfectamundo 540's and rocket airs on the spine to name a few of his stunts. Jay has more than post-modern maneuvers -he has style and he's "not afraid to die" either.

2-Hip/Haro thrash festival
Jay: I did a 270 to smith grind, and kind of like a backwards to forwards grind like Matt's alley oop thing, but I don't turn my bars-I just turn the whole bike. I got front peg grinds too.
The second day at the Meet The Street, Jay was "set up pretty good" by GT and will tour for them this year.

Jay Miron, www.bmx-test.com, april 2004: I think this nickname came from HSA announcer Steve Swope. This one comp I just kept crashing over and over again trying to learn backflip fakies at the end of my run (Arizona BS march 1992). He just kind of yelled out that I was the Canadian Beast and it became a bit of a joke between friends. Then a few years later when ESPN came along and needed a villain to make Dave Mirra seem nicer they got all crazy with it. It's so funny because I'm a pretty small guy. Most of the time when someone meets me for the first time they comment that I look a lot bigger on TV. I don't think I really look bigger it's just that usually guys who have the nickname "beast" are huge.
Jay's doing backflips over the spine at every GT shows.

Jay Miron's section (which starts off with a song from the movie Rad) has some of the most amazing riding ever done: everything he does is SO high, stretched and fast! From technical lip tricks (fakie whip nosepick, decade tailtap) to HUGE airs on vert (540 turndown, tailwhips, boomerang air, 900). And the stuff he does on Woodward's "safe landing" jump is insane, including a 360 with a tailwhip, 720 with a barspin, and a double backflip!
Jay Miron pulled 540 tailwhip.
I had seen Hoffman and Parker getting pretty close (...) I learned 360-whips over a spine and figured out how to nose them in. Sean Peters really started pushing me after that. So on the flight to the Florida comp where I actually pulled it for the first time, I just sat there thinking about it and figured out what to do. I tried it in the comp and pulled it second try.
