A little while back, some of the Merritt crew rolled through the Louisville park for a session. It’s crazy that we don’t see much from this park anymore thanks to the construction going on all around it, but luckily we get a look at what Brandon Begin, Marcas Grubbs, Tony Hamlin and Justin Care threw down during their visit! Hit play on that BMX video to take in some damn good riding. Tony Hamlin absolutely crushes the place!
Shadow Conspiracy – Team Session at Trey Jones’ Backyard Ramp
It might not be the prettiest setup in the world, but it’s safe to say that Trey Jones has one of the most fun looking ramp setups in his backyard. During the recent team meeting, The Shadow Conspiracy team caught a session in the yard where you better believe some amazing riding went down. Hit play on this BMX video to watch Simone Barraco, Trey Jones, Mark Burnett, Joris Coulomb, Seth Kimbrough, Matt Ray, Eric Bahlman, Johnny Atencio, and Johnny Devlin have their way with the place!
“Nothing is better than a backyard ramp session with your friends. Hit play and watch as the crew puts a hurting on teammate Trey Jones’ backyard set up in this new edit from The Shadow Conspiracy.

Scotty Cranmer – Street Mission 1
The weather has been pretty nice this winter in comparison to past years. Scotty Cranmer and the rest of the crew decided to take advantage of some nice weather to cruise around a plaza for a while. Here’s their webisode that came from the day. Catching some riding, a Ronnie Surridge melt down, a hang five contest and more!
“So it was a gorgeous day on the verge of a long cold winter so we decided to get some out door riding in while we had the chance! Me, Ronnie Surridge, Matty Cranmer, and The Big Boy rode around a plaza in Lakewood, NJ and found some really fun stuff to ride! I made a deal with Ronnie, if he didn’t grind a rail he had to wash my GT-R! Ronnie had a melt down and I recorded the whole thing! we had a hang five competition and Big Boy did the longest fakie ever past a cop! It was a blast and I hope you guys enjoy it!”
We Made It – Quick Fix: Wes McGrath
Wes McGrath might spend most of his time behind the lens shooting photos, but that doesn’t mean he can’t shred on a bike! Here’s a quick one featuring Wes putting in work on spots around Albuquerque, New Mexico this past summer! Short and sweet!

Mat Stiehl 2015
Canada has been on fire with BMX videos lately. Not sure what’s going on up there, but we’re loving it. Here’s a heavy one from the streets featuring Mat Stiehl putting his pegs to heavy use on everything he could get them on as of lately around Ontario and a few other places! Real good watch!
“Mat Stiehl engineered some elegant technical variations for the fuckclowns at Team Luxury this year, despite being smothered by a team full of unmotivated alcoholics. Mat wreaked havoc on the streets and possibly even some of the girls on the corners in his 2015 street edit. Brace yourself for just over 2 minutes of 4 peg tomfuckery and pure murder of many spots around his local retreat in Eden Mills and the rest of southern Ontario.

Flatland Tricky App Review
We caught a look at the Flatland Tricky App a few weeks back. It’s now available now on iTunes for FREE. Above is video review that Diversion TV’s Bobby Carter put together giving you a look at how it all works and some of the special features. All in all, it looks like an excellent learning tool that can have some serious benefits to up and coming and existing flatland riders. Check it out!
“THE MOST POWERFUL TOOL EVER CREATED FOR FLATLAND!!!
Quentin Pelorson in France teamed up with a new technology startup with 4D technology and created Flatland Tricky App. With this app, riders can watch tricks performed from any angle. If you want flatland to grow tell everyone interested in learning tricks to download this app. It is the next best thing to having a personal instructor with you at the riding spot. Check the review.

Scotty Cranmer Bike Build
Scotty Cranmer has been on fire with these BMX videos lately. We missed a few because he’s been hitting it so hard. The other day he dropped this new video giving us a look at the build up of his new bike, which includes his new signature frame from Hyper called the “C2”. Scotty starts this one off by explaining all of the details and information on the frame, which was made right here in the U.S.A by Mike Laird, then he proceeds to take us through the rest of the bike until it’s completely dialed in. Looks like a dialed BMX bike to us! What do you think?
“I just got the newest version of my Hper Bicycles signature frame called the C2! The frame is awesome and it is made in the USA! In this video I go over all the specs and I show you how I build up my bike! The frames are available now at www.hyperbicycles.com so head over to the site and order yours!”
989 Crew – “Our Video”
There’s so much talent coming out of Michigan on a regular basis. The 989 Crew is the next generation of guys who are putting in some heavy work out in the streets. Here’s a full-lenghter from the crew that features footage that was collected over the course of the year in a handful of cities around the Midwest! Great watch from start to finish! Get on that play button and check this BMX video out!
“The 989 crew’s ‘Our Video’ full length features full parts from Alex McTaggart, Jonathon Dietz, Trent Lutzke, Gage Keller, Grant Ueberroth, and plenty of local friends. The Michigan scene has been a source of a ton of talent over the years, with the 989 crew proving that the next crop is ready to leave their mark too. Consider this your formal introduction and keep your eyes peeled for these kids in 2016!
“The 989crew is based out of Bay City, Michigan. Located half way up the mitten state resting in the pocket of your thumb if you were looking at your hand. Michigan is harsh and the weather is unpredictable if we’re lucky we get 6-7 months out of the year to ride outdoors. As far as riding indoors we have a 2 hour drive south to the Detroit area where the majority of the Michigan scene is from. For this years project we set out to explore some of the major Midwest cities including Chicago, Louisville, Cincinnati,
Detroit, Grand Rapids, and a handful of small towns throughout Michigan. The highlight of filming for this video was the trek to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It’s hard to put into words the experience of going up there. It’s like no other place you could go to in the states. The spots are insane up there and I can see why BK and Tony Neyer traveled up there years ago. Filming for this project has been a big learning experience, nothing has came easy and I didn’t even know how to use a camera 2 years ago. I’ve got a lot of my inspiration from The Michigan Video crew. Our scene needs people that put out videos it keeps kids stoked on BMX. I’ve seen a rise in my local area of kids that come out to the parks. For the most part everyone in the state is really supportive of what we are doing and that’s what keeps us going. The plans are heavy for next year and you can keep up with us on Instagram @989crew. Thanks to Dig and Devin Feil for this exclusive.” -Alex McTaggart
