Here’s a rad video giving us a look at what Kris Fox, Jason Watts, Corey Bohan and Mike “Hucker” Clark got into during their recent trip to Queenstown, New Zealand for the Farm Jam. This trip was 10 days of good times, sessions at a bunch of different spots including the Gorge Road Trails that may not be around too much longer, some wake boarding, luging and much, much more. Take a look at everything that went down!

“Kris Fox (Vans/Demolition), Jason Watts Vans/Demolition/Backbone), Corey Bohan, and Hucker (Vans/S&M/Demolition) spend 10 days in one of the most picturesque places in the world; Queenstown, New Zealand. From the crew meeting up to the dudes shredding new parks it was all a good time, with a few leisure activities like wake surfing and hitting the bungee jump up! When in Queenstown the Gorge Road jumps call to you, some of the best in the world, although they are threatened by development you can check out more info and sign the petition at the link below.

Red Bull – Sand Castle Project

May 3, 2018

Kostya Andreev and Irek Rizaev throw down on a crazy sand castle ramp setup in this video from Red Bull!

We have seen some crazy setups to ride over the years from Red Bull and they never fail to completely blow our minds on what is possible. The other week we got the Mirror Park video, now today we get a video featuring Kostya Andreev and Irek Rizaev throwing down on a frozen SAND CASTLE! Well, we’re not 100% sure what this thing is actually made of, but it looks like a sand castle and it seems to hold up well to the riding these guys throw down on it. Even with the cold temperatures, which were sure is how they held this all together, the guys were able to produce! This turned out damn good and it’s well worth a watch! Check it out right now and make sure you give it a share!

“Two of Russia’s best BMXers head to the freezing northwest of their country to embark on a unique skatepark build.

Four hundred tons of sand and water, frozen to almost concrete-levels of hardness. This was the material chosen to construct a giant skatepark castle on the shores of Lake Ladoga in Northwest Russia. The unusual playground was the brainchild of Kostya Andreev and Irek Rizaev.

Everyone is familiar with building sand castles; fragile structures unable to withstand the returning tide. Irek and Kostya decided to build a bigger-size castle suitable for BMX riding.
It took the pair quite a while to choose exactly the right location for building the park. Eventually, they selected the northern part of Lake Ladoga where they found a beach with a beautiful view and access to the water. In the winter, the air temperature is incredibly low – perfect for ensuring the sustainability of the build.

Only two ingredients were used for constructing the park: sand and water.

At -30 Degrees Celsius, frozen sand was very similar to concrete in its properties and provided excellent grip. Irek and Kostya rode several truly frosty sessions and managed to demonstrate a totally stunning performance” – Red Bull
