That F. in Franio’s last name must stand for freecoaster because he knows how to put one to damn good use! Take a peek!
Cody Duff and Daniel Wood – Filmers Edit
The other weekend Cody Duff made his way to Fayetteville where he spent the weekend checking out spots and riding Daniel Wood’s local park. They both were able to stack a bunch of clips for us to check out in this new edit loaded with goodness. Take a peek!
Freegun – Tyler Gilliard Bumped to Pro Team
In Freegun’s newest online ad promoting their Flatland team, I noticed that Tyler Gilliard was listed as part of the pro team. I checked with him, and it’s no typo. He has been repping them for a few years on a flow basis, but now he’s running with the big dogs. Congrats!
CFB – Merritt Island – 2000
Here’s a Throw Back Thursday worth seeing! Now through June 5th, Mat Hoffman will be uploading over sections from the CFB contests from back in the day for us to enjoy! I know all you old guys checking this out will be stoked. I definitely advise some of you younger guys to take a peek at these since there’s A LOT of history behind how BMX is done these days from these contests! This first one from the Merritt Island contest back in 2000 is an hour of pure BMX goodness!
“Pro Competitions: CFB Merritt Island FL, air date: 4.21.00

1. CFB Merrit Island FL 2- 24/27.00
Every Thursday from today ‘til the X Games in Austin (June 5th (11 weeks)) I’m going to share a free download of one of the episodes of the Crazy Freakin Biker Contests Series between 2000 and 2004. Each one is about an hour, so pull up a chair, or get some friends together and check out some of the greatest BMX moments, history and heart that help defined our lives and influenced who we are.
This CFB goes back to 2.24/27.00 at the Paradise Funplex in Merrit Island FL. The Pro Contest are Vert, Park, Dirt and Flatland. I also I made some other features between the contests to show what our sport looks like outside of competitions and called it “Another Perspective”. Those sections in this episode are “True Street Riding”, “How to transform anyplace into a dirt jump Mecca (9th street)” and “Hanging with Evel Knievel”.
peace, love, bmx!” -Mat Hoffman

Paul Shariff 2014 Edit
Hooooooly hell… I knew Paul Shariff was good, but DAMN is this video out of control. This video progressively gets gnarlier and gnarlier, so I would advise you watch the whole thing to prepare yourself for the hammers at the end. This kid kills it on a BMX bike!
“Fifteen year old Paul Shariff has been putting in hard work for the past few months in order to put out this edit. From huge roof drops to super clean smooth riding, this kid can do it all. Aside from a few clips in Texas, this whole edit was filmed in Northern California.
Filmed and Edited by Kevin Johnson.
