November 24, 2017

If you build it, they will come… Or something like that. Check out what went down during the Red Bull Build The Trick contest.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuqJEAtQrmo

Here’s one for all you guys that love riding DIY spots. Last summer Vasya Lukyanenko worked with Red Bull to come up with a unique video project that involved having two teams explore the Ukraine, riding street spots and building up unique DIY setups to film on. Here’s the end result that shows what both teams cooked up for riding footage during the trip!

“Full video of BMX project – “Red Bull Build The Trick”.

2 teams of professional bmx riders went through Ukraine for building spots and accomplishing tasks.

Riders:
Team 1:
Vasya Lukyanenko
Andriy Piskun
Anton Kozlovsky
Andriy Gaevskiy
Artem Bahchedzhi

Team 2:
Bruno Hoffmann
Anton Makarenko
Dima Zurabyants
Sokrat Maslov
Artem Prokopenko

Partners: Peugeot, Citroen, Panasonic, Gud.ua, Syndicate Originals, Bagazhnik.ua.” – Vasya Lukyanenko

“Travel to Ukraine in search of tricks
Known riders Bruno Hoffmann and Vasya Lukyanenko assembled teams and went on a journey
for new spots and impressions.
The largest BMX journey to Ukraine has been completed! From August 8 to 14, two rider teams
fought for victory in the Red Bull Build The Trick, traveling the country in search of locations for cool stunts, creating new spots. At the head of the teams were Red Bull athletes Bruno
Hoffmann from Germany and Ukrainian Vasya Lukyanenko, whose team celebrated the victory.

“I consider this project one of the most interesting and useful for the BMX-scene in the history
of the development of this discipline in Ukraine. We have invited our country to one of the best
street riders in the world. In addition, we gave the chance to other riders to spend a week with
him on a trip, and also built new spots on which local riders are already riding,” Vasya
Lukyanenko said.
The peculiarity of the contest is that the team of winners was determined by a set of tasks:
complex, medium complexity and entertainment. To earn points, riders visited Kiev, Dnipro and
Odessa, where they showed their skills not only at the found points, but also on those that they
had to create by themselves.

“I really liked the spot our team built in Kiev. It was a kicker on a tornado. Many guys did not dare to jump, but those who jumped on the wall looked pretty impressive.” – continued Vasya Lukyanenko.
Each team had five participants. In addition to Vasya and Bruno, eight other riders from
different cities of Ukraine went on a trip. Six of them received invitations from the organizers:
Socrates Maslov and Anton Kozlovsky were represented by Kyiv, Andriy Gaevsky – Kamenets-
Podilsky, Anton Makarenko – Kramatorsk, Dmitry Zurabjants – Dnipro, and Artem Bachechey –
Odessa.

Two more riders were selected through a competition in social networks, where everyone
could put their video with tricks and win the right to join the teams. They were Andriy Piskun
from Kyiv and Artem Prokopenko from the Dnipro River.
"It was a very difficult and interesting project. Many forces went to the construction of spots,relocations and the organization of the entire process. But we did it for ourselves and therefore were satisfied with the results, "Vasy Lukyanenko summed up the results.
Watch the video as it was!“

Planet TMPRD Team Mix

You can always count on the Tempered team to come through with a dialed video!

Here’s another phenomenal video from the Tempered crew down in Australia for your viewing pleasure! This 14 minute long mix is packed with great riding from street spots, skateparks and trails. There’s an awesome song selection and some clean film work, making this one of those BMX videos that is hard to stop watching once you hit play.

“TMPRD have a treat for us today with this banging team mix. Getting every team rider in one video is a mean feat when you live in a country as big as Australia so hats off to the fellas. Mix sections from Jake Corless, Marius Dietsche, Mike Vockenson, Wilton Hedley and Dylan Steinhardt. Full sections from Jonny Mackellar and Jerry Vandervalk. Brew up your preferred beverage and enjoy.

“Planet TMPRD, a collection of footage from the entire team, wrapped up into one global project. This is the first time everyone will appear in the same project, and is pretty exciting for a number of reasons. For me, I’m most stoked about being involved in a project which showcases the various riding, over various parts of the country, of each dude and how it has been able to be mould together into a single consistent entity. In being spread around this huge country of ours, a huge focus for us is making sure that there is an air of togetherness. I hope this comes through in the video.

Kick starting this project was the Brisbane trip earlier this year, where everyone met up and rode together for the first time. We collected a bunch of footage and then decided to keep the footage rolling for this mix. Hopefully this is only the start of things to come.

Featuring mix sections of Jake Corless, Marius Dietsche, Mike Vockenson, as well as Wilton Hedley and Dylan Steinhardt, with full sections from Jonny Mackellar and Jerry Vandervalk. There may or may not be another full part mixed in for good measure.” – TMPRD

Crispy Stream X Chronic Bone – Big Mac

November 23, 2017

Big Mac coming through with a new video for Crispy Stream and Chronic Bone!

The Crispy Stream crew coming through with a fresh video featuring Big Mac putting a bunch of different skateparks and spots to good use down in Australia. Big Mac brings plenty of style, speed and nose balance in this one and it stays interesting from start to finish! Check it! You won’t be disappointed.

“Just when you thought he was done and dusted, the mac is back on the attack. This is a collection of footage captured since the release of 2016s ‘Dulwich’ in which Big Mac had a full part.

Hot moves, grace, steeze and a badboy attitude make Big Mac one of BMXs most promising young talents and surely a contender for hottest boy of the year.
