BMX Street Station 2017 Highlights

October 17, 2017

Plenty of amazing riding went down at the 2017 BMX Street Station contest in Lyon, France!

The annual BMX Street Station contest over in France that the Bros Bike Store crew put on always looks like such a good time. Every year is a little different and it looks like this year they mixed things up and turned it into a street jam that hit up a few different spots around the city with portable ramps at each stop to the skatepark. There was a huge turn out from pros like Simone Barraco, Alex Valentino and Mark Burnett to the locals that all threw down. Check out the highlights above!

“This is not your average street jam! The guys at Bros Bike store put in a ton of effort with this year’s Street Station event, customising a series of Lyon spots with some special ramps and holding sponsors best trick events. Apart from the first spot, no one knew what to expect and no doubt this helped towards making this one of the best jams of the year! There’s too much to mention in here – hit play for the gold.” – DIG

Billy Perry – Amazing Dirt Jumps In New York City

October 16, 2017

When you think of New York City, it’s not likely that dirt jumps come to mind. In fact, we would be surprised if they did. That might change after checking out Billy Perry‘s new video. It turns out that there is a rad little pump track spot with a set of dirt jumps nestled in the city that’s open to the public to ride. They aren’t super crazy, but they do look like a lot of fun to ride. Billy made his way there for a day of riding and brought his cameras along for the ride as always. After that he meets up with Stephon Fung and a few others for a street session. Hit play and take it all in!

“Riding dirt jumps is one of my favorite things to ride on a bike that I rarely get to do. I finally got the chance to ride the upgraded pump track in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and I was not let down! The track may only have a few jumps but I could ride it all day.” – Billy Perry
