Performance BMX In Brussels

July 9, 2018

The Performance BMX crew spent some time exploring spots in Brussels…

We don’t see a ton of BMX videos coming out of Brussels, but it’s safe to say the place has some great spots! The Performance BMX crew over in France spent a few days there recently exploring the spots and stacking clips. After all was said and done, they ended up with a real dialed video! Check out what they cooked up for clips!

“We still don’t know how they managed to find four days of sun in northern Europe in typically horrible Spring-time but this looks definitely like a quality time spent in Brussels by the Parisian “Performance’ crew, visiting Belgium’s local (and infamous) Cluut Crew. The Belgium capital has so much to offer, in the daytime… and at night, and what you see in this edit might just have you re-organising your next European trip.” – DIG

Top 5 Craziest Ramp Builds with John Saxton

July 9, 2018

John Saxton has built some real crazy ramps in some interesting places…

There’s a handful of ramp builders out there that have done some amazing builds over the years. Vital BMX caught up with John Saxton from Skidmark Parks to talk about a few of his craziest builds from ramps on the back of semi trailers to flying to India to build some ramps in a sketchy setup, to building ramps out of salt and Kevin Robinson’s park. This is real interesting, so hit play and check it out!

“World-renown ramp builder John Saxton discusses the five craziest projects he’s ever taken on. From using dilapidated wood in India to building an entire skatepark out of salt in Bolivia, Saxton has a wild résumé.” – Vital BMX

Raw Jibs – Sunday Bikes In Cologne

July 8, 2018

Check out this raw cut from Sunday Bikes’ session in Cologne…

The Sunday Bikes team have been over in Germany bouncing around the country, stacking clips all along the way. Here’s a raw cut Freedom BMX put together giving us a look at what the crew got into during a skatepark session. Needless to say, there was plenty of dialed riding going down. Take a look!

“During the NRW part of their tour of Germany, the guys from Sunday Bikes of course also stopped by in Cologne. Here are a few clips from their sessions at Northbrigade and Bowl 2.0, featuring Erik Elstran, Gary Young, Chris Childs, Aaron Ross, Alec Siemon, Jake Seeley, Brett Silva and their German teammates Daniel Portorreal, Miguel Smajli and Markus Reuss times as well have shaken a few really nice things from the sleeve. And because the camera was already running, Alex Stinshoff, who was a tour guide, and his SIBMX team-mate Nico van Loon also gave some jibs to the show. Yeww!” – Freedom BMX

Brant Moore & Luke Pedals – Overheated

July 8, 2018

Brant Moore and Luke Pedals catch a heated park session…

If you live in the U.S, there’s a good chance you have been feeling the heat lately. Brant Moore and Luke Pedals decided to catch a skatepark session despite it being super hot out. Here’s a look at what they cooked up for clips!

“Luke was in the area all the way from New Jersey, so we met up and then wound up filming enough fun doubles runs to put together into this video.
Luke is an absolute shredder, thanks for meeting up man!” –

A Bike For Che – A Flatland BMX Miracle

July 7, 2018

It’s always rad to see a bunch of riders come together to help a rider out…

Here’s a video Ride BMX dropped giving us a look at how Mark Locke and a few friends got together to help a rider from Nigeria out with a new bike. We don’t see a lot of videos coming out of Nigeria, but there are definitely some talented riders down there, and Che is one of them. This video shows how this whole project came together, along with some great riding footage showing how much progress Che has made since he got the bike! Definitely an awesome story, so hit play and check this all out!

“From the creators of “One Flying Kidney” comes this truly inspiring story of a Nigerian flatlander by the name of Cherechukwu Udenkwere who didn’t have a legitimate bike. But after Shane Hawke left a comment on one of Che’s social media posts, a group of likeminded individuals pooled their resources to hook up the man with a proper flatland bike, and now he’s straight shredding!!! The BMX community is a strong and tight knit group of humans who share a passion and want nothing more than to spread the love.

Back in 2016 quite a few of us were reaching for a hankie over One Flying Kidney, the story of Stuart Crumpton, a rider with renal cancer, and the friends who raised money for Stu’s dream bike to aid his recovery. Two years on, a fighting fit Stu and team are back to pay it forward, joining forces with Ride On (a Facebook group for the discerning older rider) and French flatland company StMartin to try and help out a guy in Nigeria called Che. Che dreams of becoming a great flatlander, but on dirt streets and an old midschool ride, the odds seem heavily stacked against him.
