“It was in mid july after french national day, Soul bmx mag organised a jam on the new backyard of Aurélien Hutchings a unique character who collected and recycled wood and materials for the past years. With the support of Soul and financed by Nike 6.0. he managed to create that crazy bikepark just in time for what we have called THE SOULARTISANS (Soul’s craftmans). Soul invited 30 of the best french riders and some special guests from Nike 6.0. Europe to shred the spot on a very intense day ended by a best trick session at night. Before checking the full report and Aurélien’s interesting interview in an upcoming soul issue, look at this edit made by our lovely Hadrien Picard.” –
Coco Zurita Profile
“Last week, just prior to X Games BMX Vert, we were scheduled to post a profile video with Chilean vert sensation Coco Zurita. Coco, as many of you might know, is the very stylish vert pro that can blast a vert ramp almost better than anyone in the pro vert class right now. His style, for lack of a better description, is that of a vert version of Ruben Alcantara. And yes, it’s awesome to watch.
Unfortunately, Coco stepped down on his foot the day before X Games 17, fracturing his ankle in the process and eliminating any chance he would have of riding in X Games 17 Vert and Big Air. So there our profile sat, unused, while Coco hobbled around at X Games, unable to ride. But the video is still great, so we’re featuring it this week in a rare version of “things you missed out on at X Games 17.” Video by Shad Hopkins.” – ESPN

Levi Hucke Edit
At two years old, Levi Hucke is probably the youngest rider to have an edit at a skatepark. Given, he’s not quite up to what his dad, Ben Hucke, can do just yet… If Levi ends up being half as good as Ben he’ll still kill it on a bike. This is rad.
X-Games 17 – Chad Kagy Big Air
If you happened to see Big Air during the X-Games last week, there’s a chance you might have seen this clip from GoPro of Chad Kagy. They had him strap a couple of their cameras to him to give you an idea of what it’s like to run the Mega Ramp. That’s some scary shit.
