Arya Dypta – Day Dream

October 30, 2017

Arya Dypta takes a break from work to catch a session… Was it all a dream?

We’re always stoked to get a BMX video from Arya Dypta over in Indonesia to check out. During a little construction he decided to take a break to ride a convenient spot that just so happened to also include a flat rail. Despite it being a pretty simple setup, he was able to cook up a few real solid clips, that is if it wasn’t just a dream.

Gabe Brooks Memorial Street Jam

October 30, 2017

Check out what went down at the Gabe Brooks Memorial Street Jam in Los Angeles!

Last week we found out that BMX had lost Gabe Brooks in a fatal shooting. Since then the BMX world has been coming out in droves showing their love for the rider that had so much influence and impact on everyone from friends and family to riders on the other side of the world that never had the chance to spend some time with him. This past weekend there was a big street jam in Los Angeles to celebrate Gabe’s life and it brought out everyone for a day of riding, just how Gabe would have liked it. Take a look!

“Watch as the BMX world joins Gabe’s family to celebrate his life. Riders include Ty Morrow, Dakota Roche, Augie Simoncini, Sean Ricany, Colin Varanyak, and many more. Big thanks to Peep Game and Thee Block for making this happen. RIP, GABE!” – Vital BMX

Secta – The First Video

October 30, 2017

25 minutes of serious heat from the Secta crew over in the Ukraine!

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

If you’re looking for a BMX video that is loaded with wild riding and appears to have a heavy disregard for the nibbler jibbler edits we see very frequently, then we highly advise you check out this 25 minute mix from the Secta Crew. This video kicks off with some seriously heavy footage from huge roof drops, big slams and some laughs. After that, we get into sections and mixes from a bunch of different riders getting down on street spots, trails, roof tops, piles of gravel, bridges over streams and pretty much anything else they could get their tires and pegs on. If you’re a fan of Bone Deth style riding, you’ll love this one. This is a real good way to start the week, so hit play and take this in!

“Thank you for being here. This video is a show of how we spent this season. Everything for fun, friends and adventure. All scenes from the video – JOKES, NO POLITICS, FASCISM and other bullshit. If you liked this video – the best thanks to us is spread this video. Big thanks for everyone!

Halloween In Paradise – BMX Trails Jam

October 29, 2017

Check out what went down at the annual Halloween Jam at Shawn Shimkets trails out in California!

It’s that time of the year again for a Halloween Jam in Shawn Shimkets crazy backyard trails and pool spot! As always, the trails were dialed in and some crazy costumes came out. Hit play and take it all in.

“Every Halloween Shawn Shimkets has invited anyone who was down to come ride his rather epic backyard trail setup. This year it just so happened to be over 90 degrees and absolutely perfect outside…well, possibly a bit hot when you’re riding in a gorrila suit. Nothing crazy here…just a dope backyard setup, friends, and some laughs. Thanks for making it happen, Shawn.
