Anthony Napolitan Almost Died Front Flipping A Fence

December 29, 2017

We’re not sure how he managed to walk away from this one without a metal spike through his body…

I really don’t know how to describe this except for the fact that I’m really lucky. I’ve been going in on my @colonybmxbrand edit with @nathantsykes behind the camera and this madness happened. I can’t wait for you guys to see the edit within the next month! @evanflockalane . • • • @colonybmxbrand @maxxistires @pie_not @profile_racing @ethika #colonybmx #colonybmxbrand #maxxistires #pienot #profileracing #ethika #WithYouEverywhere #bmx #bmxisfun #ridebmx

Over the years we have seen Anthony Napolitan do A LOT of super gnarly things on a BMX bike, and a few hilarious things off his bike, too. Today, however, this clips surfaced online of him trying to front flip over a fence at a skatepark out in California. Anthony came up short and bailed, and somehow landed on TOP of the fence without impaling himself with one of the many stakes that could have easily penetrated his body like it was a piece of meat. We’re really stoked Anthony is okay, but this was WAY too close for comfort. I have a feeling his wife wasn’t too pumped on this one, and she’s one of the most easy going people we have ever met! Below you can find another version of the clip DailyMail uploaded with a better look at what happened… This is seriously madness.

BMX Streets “Pipe” Coming To XBOX?

December 28, 2017

The long awaited “BMX Streets” game will be coming out on XBox… Finally.

UPDATE: This is an older post. According to Mitch, BMX Streets Pipe is now available for XBOX One! Learn more here: BMX Streets Pipe Now On XBox One

Here’s some news we randomly stumbled across on Youtube’s suggested videos that we have a feeling some of you will be real stoked on. According to this video, the BMX Streets “Pipe” demo should be dropping on XBOX soon. It’s currently available for PC for $10, but it looks like they’ve been working on getting it to XBox as well. As you can see from the video, the demo is just a big halfpipe, a weird mini ramp and a few benches and not the full game that’s been in the works for… what feels like forever. However, it’s a step in the right direction. If you have been waiting for this option, we’re sure you’ll be stoked on it. I’d keep your eye on the BMX Streets Website to see if it pops up. According to this video it should be some time after Christmas, which is where we are at right now.
