Real bummer news came across the wire today. Legendary The Flow Skatepark will be closing it’s doors very soon. The 28th of this month is the last day, so you better hurry up if you want to get a last run in on it. As you may have noticed from the image above, the day before closing is the 3rd stop of the Recon Tour.
Red Bull – 24 Hours in Queenstown with Mike “Hucker” Clark
Mike “Hucker” Clark has been able to lead one hell of a life the past few years thanks to BMX. This video Red Bull dropped gives you a look at just how good things have been in one day. If this doesn’t make you wish you were him, I don’t know what the hell you’re aspiring to be.

Scott Powell – HD Test
Spotted this one over on Flat Matters. Scott Powell might have just got in on the HD camera game, but he’s been killing it on a bike forever. Check out this video of him testing out the new camera along with putting in some work on a few of his bikes. I forgot about that crazy bike he has with the cranks on the front axle like a unicycle. Take a look!
“I finally stepped into the 21st century and got an HD camera; it is an action camera so it does not have a stablizer. I decided to test it out by filming a quick edit in the same way that I would have if i was using my TRV 900.

The other weekend, Tom Villarreal and Chad DeGroot made their way up to Milwaukee to spend a day at Ray’s in Milwaukee. While they were there, Mike Hinkens and Grant Castelluzzo stopped by to hang out and get some riding time in. This is a quick video from Grant giving you a look at some of the riding that went down. Always good to see riding from these guys.
Josh Mannion – Street 2012 / 2013
Not going to lie, I’m pretty bummed to see this posted up on a few other sites and all they can talk about is how the song is jacked. As far as I’m concerned, who gives a shit. This video of Josh Mannion is rad and there’s a ton of good riding. Take a look and turn up the volume because it’s a good ass song.
