In Memory of Denis Mowgly

January 11, 2018

The French trails scene has lost a great rider and person… Rest in Peace, Denis Mowgly.

The BMX world has lost too many great people over the years. A few weeks back, the scene over in France lost Denis “Mowgly” Darbeau who had passed from heart complications while running. Denis was a big part of the trails scene over in France, but was one of those riders that crushed it on everything he touched, which is clear in this video Tom Arkus put together from time he had spent with Denis. We highly suggest you give the video a watch since it’s a reminder of just how talented Denis really was on a bike and the good vibe he put off. Also, if you want to help out Denis’ family, they have a Fundraiser page setup that you can donate some money to. Rest in Peace, Denis. You won’t be forgotten!

“Loosing a friend is never easy, especially at such an early age. It has been very difficult to accept. It took me some time before I could watch any video footage of Denis. He is a dear friend that I admire very much. Denis left a positive impact on the trail community all across the globe. I wanted to share some footage I had of him from a couple of Trail Trips we did when we where younger.” – Tom Arkus

Ryan Nyquist Returns To The Unit

January 10, 2018

Ryan Nyquist and his family moved back to North Carolina! Check out Ryan throwing down at his private park, The Unit!

A few years ago Ryan Nyquist moved with his family back to his original hometown in San Jose, California. Last year they decided it was time to head back to North Carolina where Ryan spent most of his professional years as a rider, helping to make Greenville known as “Pro Town”. Although he’s living in Wilmington two hours from Greenville, he’s a hell of a lot closer than being in California. That means he has been able to get plenty of riding time in at his private park, The Unit, once again! Here’s a video with a bunch of dialed riding that Ryan threw down during a recent session! You already know Ryan brought his deep bag of tricks and put the endless lines of the place to good use!

“Ryan Nyquist recently re-relocated to his adopted home of North Carolina, which also happens to be home to his private skatepark – The Unit. Watch as Ryan rides the place like only the man with the keys can. Timeless!” – Vital BMX
