I believe what is being said here is that “torker” sort of reflects the current state of BMX racing. One of the glorious old school companies who had names like Jason Jensen, Clint Miller, Dave Marietti on it and would basically “give birth” to freestyle BMX bikes through Bob Haros freestyle master has at this point in time fallen so far as to become a company that makes unicycles.
In effect “disappearing” from the market, much like the racing aspect has disappeared from the market of promoting BMX.
Very deep, almost existential.
