Photogallery: Puerto Rico Vacation with Mark Mulville

May 20, 2014

Being a professional BMX rider generally means you travel a lot. The only downside to that is when you’re on a trip, you’re usually on a tight schedule, sticking to a budget, hitting as many street spots, parks, trails and shops as you and the team can so you can have a video or something come from the trip. That pressure leads to you missing out on a lot of things when you visit somewhere. Mark Mulville is one dude who is no stranger to trips and putting his passport to good use. The other week he took a trip, but it wasn’t for anything other than enjoyment to Puerto Rico to ride some spots, catch some waves and explore what the place had to offer. We had him snap a bunch of photos from his trip so we could see what he got into during his stay! Mark came back with this rad photogallery for us to check out!

“Sometimes we need all need a vacation! A time to escape, relax, drink, explore and do whatever you feel like doing on a NON-BMX schedule. But as a BMXer I still can’t go anywhere without my bike…
So on a recent vacation trip to Puerto Rico with my girlfriend Courters, we did all of the above listed vacation activities… But I also found time to ride my bike.
Here are a bunch of photos taken by myself, Courters and Carlos Santori showing some of the highlights from this (NON) BMX trip.” – Mark Mulville

The Future of BMX

May 12, 2014

If you pay close enough attention to BMX, you can always see trends coming and going. Those trends have been the evolution of the sport from the riders to the bikes all the way to the videos and photos you’re seeing every single day. One of the biggest trends we’ve been following as of late is how brands are keeping up with the constant changes and ways to attract new riders to BMX. Within that, we’ve been watching one thing in particular that has been happening to BMX lately that has been pretty mind blowing; the age of riders riding at higher levels at very young ages. There have been a handful of factors involved in this fairly new phenomenon and we figured we would take some time to see what has lead to all of this.

Insight: GoPro Hero 3 + & The GoPro App

May 7, 2014

Technology is a funny thing. It’s literally to the point where you find something new on a daily basis that you didn’t even know existed, but once you have it you cannot imagine living with out it. Cameras are something that are constantly evolving whether it be better quality images being produced, more functionality or a more compact design. In the past 15 years or so, I’ve been toying around with video cameras, filming my friends and I screwing around on our bikes. I’ve gone from Hi-8 tapes and Mini DV’s to tiny memory cards that can hold more footage in high-definintion than 3 tapes combined. It’s pretty amazing constantly seeing and be able to give the new technology a go with BMX being my excuse to use it. The other day my mind was blown thanks to GoPro and their new Hero 3+ camera and iPhone app. Let’s take a look at this…

Originals: April 2014

May 1, 2014

Man, time has been flying! Fortunately for a lot of us, were finally seeing some warmer temps and getting to the outdoor sessions again. April is always a crazy month because it is when we see a lot of change with spring coming in and everything. This last month in particular was pretty crazy for The Union because we literally dropped an Original feature every day during the week except for the 17th and Sunday’s (The Daily Section still gets updated on Sunday’s). We figured with 25 Original features, there’s a good chance you guys missed a few. We have gone through and compiled a list with links to each one for you to give a look incase you missed something or wanted to check it out again!
