“It’ll Buff” – Full Video

May 24, 2018

Check out the “It’ll Buff” video from the crew down in Florida!

It seems like there’s been a lot of footage coming out of Florida these days, and that’s not a bad thing! Here’s a rad new full-length video that was produced by Jona Jahchan featuring him and a bunch of different riders out cruising the endless spots the state has to offer. This video has a pretty chill vibe because of the soundtrack, but don’t let that fool you! This is packed with amazing riding from start to finish. Check it!

“”We started this project to showcase some of Florida’s street spots as well as some of the up and coming riders from the area. There is this stigma that ‘Florida has no spots’ but that is because no one wants to put in the hours to find them, Florida is a super flat state surrounded by water so it definitely dampers the selection and quality of the spots. We spent the past year and a half driving throughout Florida, and parts of Georgia to get all the clips in this video.” —Jona

In The Cut – Nighthavest / Ultimate X

May 24, 2018

Check out this raw cut from the Nightharvest Jam and Ultimate X…

Here’s a raw cut of footage from DIG giving you a behind the scenes look at some of the action from the Nighthavest Jam, followed up by the Ultimate X Jam down in South Africa! Plenty of wild riding and laughs in this one.

“Every year South Africa plays host to two rad contests – Nightharvest and Ultimate X. We split south of the equator and first went to Cape Town for Nightharvest, then onto the Sun City resort for Ultimate X, and got up to a whole lot of fun along the way. If you ever get the chance to visit this incredible country, don’t make sure you go – just don’t mess with the baboons…” – DIG

Doomed – Sunday League

May 23, 2018

A little hangover session for the Doomed Brand squad…

Last week the Doomed Brand launched with their Doomed Promo video, that lead to an after party that we’re sure was far from light on the booze and extra curricular. The next morning a bunch of guys got together for a jam that, despite a few hangovers, was fairly productive. Check out what went down!

“After the night that Doomed launch the guys got together for a sesh in Leeds. I don’t think any of the crew were actually alive for this.

Shout out to the riders: @mudhutdan @foley_20 @littleshredder1 @bengdonbmx @crazzypetebmx” – DIG
