Soulcycle BMX coming through with a fresh batch of Anne Hofsink clips for your viewing pleasure…

Here’s a rad one that Soulcycle BMX just uploaded featuring Anne Hofsink going to work on street spots over in the Netherlands. Anne might only run two pegs, but that didn’t stop him from putting them to heavy, heavy use on a bunch of rails and ledges. Add in a freecoaster and you have a bunch of real solid clips from all the spots he cruised. Fair warning: This one may or may not end up with more sunshine than you want to see though…

“Soulcycle crew rider Anne Hofsink filmed a bunch of clips this year! Anne is always stoked to ride his bike and filming clips with his homies! all these clips are filmed by: Halux Visions, Jack Nieraeth, Chiel Rieks, Lennart Horst, Bart van der Kamp, Sharvan Debi Tewari, Sybren Planting.

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
