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

May 3, 2018

Check out full highlights from the jam the BMXFU crew threw before the premiere of the “FU666” video!

The other week, the BMXFU squad premiered their new “FU666” video at Mission BMX. Before the premiere, there was a jam at the B-Line Bike Park where a bunch of guys got together for a productive session and some good times. Here’s a video showing you everything that went down.

“After what seems like forever, the highly anticipated full-length from BMXFU has officially come out. The sixth instalment in the series titled “FU666” premiered in Niagara Falls, Ontario and Calgary, Alberta at Mission BMX on April 21st, 2018.

I was stoked to be in Canada during the time and close enough to Calgary to make my way down to hang out with a bunch of great humans. Big thanks to Greg D’Amico for letting me crash at his place for the weekend and to B-Line Skatepark for hosting the jam!

Greg did all the filming for this video while I was shooting photos for an online gallery that you can view over at BMX Union here: Photogallery: BMXFU “FU666” Premiere Jam

A few days ago, Greg asked if I would be able to put together the clips he shot into a little video and this is what I was able to come up with. It was fun getting to play around with some special effects that I normally wouldn’t put to use!

Whenever you see a video from Justin “Lil’ Juice” Gautreau, you know you’re going to see something wild. Cult dropped this new Subculture video where Justin shows us what it’s like in Baton Rouge, Louisiana where he lives, along with a bunch of bangers while out cruising the streets in Louisiana and California from truck drivers off roof tops to HUGE tailwhip drops down massive stair sets… We’re not sure how the hell Justin does half the stuff he does, but it’s amazing. Check it!

Endless Mag – Anthony Perrin “Time Off”

May 2, 2018

Anthony Perrin takes some time off to ride spots around Barcelona…

We’re not sure if it counts as “time off” when you’re a pro rider and spend your get away slaying spots, but we’ll go with it. Anthony Perrin got away from the cold winter in France and spent a few months in Barcelona cruising spots and stacking clips for this new video from Endless Mag. Dialed riding, great spots and clean film work. You won’t want to pass this one up!

“Anthony Perrin escaped the French winter to BCN last year for a few months and filmed this piece with film maker Ilja Pavlukevics.” – Endless Mag

Street Riding… On A Dirt Bike?

May 2, 2018

Looks like Justin Mulford has been taking some lessons from BMX…

When you think of dirt bikes, you probably don’t think street. In fact, it’s kind of a weird thinking about a dirt bike riding El Toro, but Justin Mulford decided to take his 450 to the streets riding ditches, street spots and more around southern California. Take a look at what he got for clips… This is weird, but awesome.

“Justin Mulford hits the streets on his 450cc with a skate-inspired mind set. The results are the first ever #streetmoto part. Go watch Justin.
