SI BMX – Markus Reuss Welcome Video

September 28, 2017

Markus Reuss is now doing it for SI BMX over in Germany! Here’s his official welcome video that Freedom BMX put together featuring Markus putting in work on ramps and street spots. As always, Markus lays down a ton of excellent riding on everything he touches from grinds on big rails to blasted airs on the ramps. Check it!

“For a time, it was quite quiet around Markus Reuss, which was mainly because he had to deal with some serious injuries. They have been fortunate since the beginning of the year and since then, the Wuppertal Allroundtalent has been very steep again. With SIBMX, he has also landed a new sponsor who supports him with Sunday Bikes, Odyssey and Fuse Protection. Here is his Welcome Edit, for which Markus the dish 2.0, the Lohserampe and some Streetspots in Cologne has pre-buttoned. And lo and behold, he has forgotten nothing.

PS: Unfortunately Markus has hurt again a few days ago. At the Belgium Open in Hasselt, he has torn the band, which holds coals and lunar legs, and must be operated soon. We wish him all the best and a quick recovery!” – Freedom BMX
