One Dude, Two Days: Sven Avemaria

October 26, 2017

Freedom BMX caught up with Sven Avemaria for two days of filming…

The latest “One Dude, Two Days” video from Freedom BMX has arrived. This time around they caught up with Sven Avemaria who spent his time putting his bike and skateboard to good use on spots over in Germany. Sven brings

“Why wait until retirement before you begin to enjoy life? Sven Avemaria, the art form team rider, has also come to the conclusion that a year ago he decided that it would be the highest train for him to take a break from his banker’s existence to give more time for life in general and BMX in the Special ones. For this purpose, the young man with the sympathetic priorities in the autumn of 2016 moved from the idyllic Uhldingen-Mühlhofen on Lake Constance to the Swabian metropolis of Stuttgart, a distance of just two cars, where he found a connection in the local scene in the Nullkommanix. What is not surprising is because Sven is not only a maximally relaxed type, which is a positive basic attitude, but also always for his session to have. That he is also an extremely smoother two-wheeled acrobat and skater (!), You can find in our new series of “One Dude Two Days” last summer on a wonderful July weekend on the streets of his election home.” – Sven Avemaria

Common Crew at Woodward West (VX)

October 26, 2017

Check out some VX footage from the Common Crew‘s trip to Woodward West last summer that never made its way online.

It’s pretty crazy how much footage just sits on a hard drive and doesn’t end up being used. A while back we got a look at a Common Crew at Woodward West video, but it turns out there was a TON of other footage that didn’t get used! Well, they decided to put the footage to good use and now that footage is online for your viewing pleasure. Hit play and enjoy!

“In summer 2016 Francis and I had plans to film an HD vs VX team competition but for whatever reasons we both weren’t pleased with the footage we got and it ended up sitting unedited for quite some time. Francis released a partial version of his a couple months ago (some of the footage was lost) and mine just kept sitting because I thought it was trash. Then the other day I found this amazing Hank Jr song, I knew it was perfect so I just started editing and here we are. I now present you Team VX @ Woodward West. Sure wish I would’ve heard this song 14 months ago.” – Sauce

Demolition Parts – John “Baby Johnny” Wadlund Video

October 26, 2017

Looking for some speed and style? Baby Johnny is your guy!

Here’s a fresh one that Demolition Parts just released featuring John “Baby Johnny” Wadlund going to work on a few different skateparks, street spots, backyard ramps and trails. If you’re looking for speed and style, John brings the heat. Hit play and take this in! It’s a real good watch from start to finish.

“Johnny has been one of our younger riders on the team for a bit now and proves from this new video that he’s one to watch out for. Beyond all he proves his place as one that goes high, fast, rides everything, and has some good comedy chops to dish it out with the older guys on the team.

Karl Hinkley “Aspire Round 2” Video

October 26, 2017

Here’s a proper Throwback Thursday for you! Karl Hinkey’s “Aspire Round 2” section just surfaced online…

Anyone who has been riding BMX for around 15 years knows about the old Aspire video contests. Riders from all over would submit video parts and the best ones would be picked for the full-length video (Pretty sure it was only on VHS at this time) that came from it. Karl Hinkley ended up with his section he submitted that hasn’t been online, so he uploaded it and it’s a serious throwback that is so awesome to watch. Not only is this packed with a ton of riding we just don’t see anymore, it leaves you guessing what’s coming next from start to finish. We’re pretty sure Karl still does a bunch of these tricks in this video, too! That’s not a bad thing! Enjoy!

“Here’s my edit I submitted for the round 2 Aspire video contact in 2004. Had a blast filming it and a big shout out to Jim Reinstra for finding the old DV mini tape over 15 years later and mailing it to me so I could watch it again.” – Karl Hinkley
