His presence will forever be missed, as well as his recent penchant for Instagram likes, but his influence on riding and graciousness as a person will remain. From that moment on, I counted him as a friend. 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. Founder Gaz Sanders wrote to the firm’s website earlier this week: We have decided that Mutiny Bikes has reached the end of its journey. 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. BMX frames, parts and accessories label Mutiny Bikes has announced that it will close its doors after 22 years in business. 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.
