The Subrosa X Nuclear Blast collaboration has arrived…

If you follow Subrosa, then you know they have been hinting at a collaboration with Nuclear Blast for a little while now. Today we finally get a look at what they have been cooking up! To celebrate Nuclear Blast’s 30th anniversary, they have a special edition Subrosa X Nuclear Blast – Blast Beast 24″ Double Top Tube frame and an Blast Beast 26″ complete with a matching pad set and number plate! These will be super limited edition and it sounds like they can only be pre-ordered through the Nuclear Blast Webstore. Get a full look and more details below!

“Subrosa has teamed up with Nuclear Blast to celebrate their 30th Anniversary and their love of BMX! Check out details of the project and find out how to get a piece of this very rare limited collection!
Heavy Metal and BMX collide to create the Subrosa / Nuclear Blast “Blast Beast 26” complete bike and “Blast Beast 24” double top tube frame!

The two brands have teamed up in the past with music for videos, of course the Slayer bikes, and this time we got together to create some awesome products to celebrate their 30th anniversary! These bikes were produced with the same quality and attention that Subrosa is known for, but in extremely limited numbers to ensure that each fan receives not only a badass ride, but a special piece of history.

Both the complete bike and frame will be very limited pieces! Each bike will feature a custom serial number and authentic stamped number to indicate what number yours is! Nuclear Blast is only going to offer 30 of Blast Beast 26″ complete bikes and 50 of the Blast Beast DTT frames!

As if that wasn’t enough Nuclear Blast wants to hook you up with even more! The Blast Beast 26 complete will also come with a custom limited edition Subrosa/Nuclear Blast/Flite/Vans Number Plate, listed edition Subrosa/Nuclear Blast/Flite/Vans Pad Set, and an exclusive Nuclear Blast Enamle Pin!

Both bikes are available for pre-book right now from Nuclear Blast and will be shipping in early November.” – Subrosa

Van Homan – French Transition Trip

October 16, 2017

Any time you send Van Homan anywhere, you know he’s going to produce. Van recently had the chance to make the trip back to France to spend six days exploring spots galore from skateparks to drainage ditches and more. Below you can see just what he got into during his short but productive time he had to ride and film!

“Filmed over only 6 days, and riding mostly DIY and natural spots, Van Homan revisits France and rekindles a special connection with the country that he first visited back in 1999, making some new memories along the way.

Filmed and edited by Antoine Sabourin” – DIG

5050 BMX – Tristen Cooper Summer 2017 Video

October 15, 2017

5050 BMX dropped this fresh BMX video featuring Tristen Cooper going to work on street spots, skateparks and trails out in Utah! Tristen is not scared to haul some ass and send it on some big gaps and charge some big rails, and this video is clear proof of that. If you’re looking for something with some power, this is one for you to watch!

“Tristen Copper has been a staple in the Utah BMX scene for a while now! He drops some bombshell and show his all around riding skills.” – 5050 BMX

A Week In Brisbane with the Colony Team

October 15, 2017

Some of the Colony team recently spent some time in Brisbane stacking clips for a new video project. They just sent over this raw cut of footage that didn’t make the cut for the final edit, but as expected, there was plenty of dialed riding to take in from different skateparks and dirt jumps they rode. Check out what didn’t make the cut and then get ready for the final edit from the trip that we should be seeing soon.

“Behind the scenes footage of a week spent in Brisbane with Alex Hiam, Jayden Fuller, Chris James, Josh Dove & Polly. These clips are outtakes from footage we’ve collected for up coming projects.” – Colony BMX

Josh de Reus On Haro Bikes

October 15, 2017

It looks like Josh de Reus is following the steps of Chad Kerley and Mike Gray…

What better way to get your first Haro frame than from the hands of @ryannyquist. New Zealand’s Josh de Reus (@joshdbmx) is on the @premiumbmx_ team and we decided to get him on a Haro frame / Premium parts deal to sync up with @chadkerley and @mikegraybmx. Josh, Chad and Mike head on a @premiumbmx_ trip to Northern California next week. Look for content from those guys soon and welcome to Haro Josh!
A post shared by Haro Bikes (@harobmx) on Oct 14, 2017 at 1:05pm PDT

Haro Bikes have added Josh de Reus to their line up! Similar to how Chad Kerley and Mike Gray went from riding fully for Premium on over to Haro with Premium parts, Josh will be on the same program! To kick things off, they had Ryan Nyquist hook Josh up with a new CK Frame. This should mean that we’ll be seeing more from Josh here in the near future. It also makes us wonder if Premium will be transitioning to just a parts brand in the future. I guess we’ll find out if Stephon Fung and Blake Peters make the same transition since everyone else on the Premium team have made the switch on over to Haro with Premium parts. We have a feeling that might just be coming sooner than later.

Kink BMX – Saturday Selects: Darryl Tocco Titan Video Raw

October 15, 2017

You know you cannot pass up some Darryl Tocco footage!

We’re big fans of Darryl Tocco here at The Union and it’s pretty easy to see why… Darryl absolutely crushes it on a bike and has some of the best barspins in BMX. Not only that, but he’s also phenomenal behind the lens as well. Since Darryl spends a lot of time behind the lens these days, we don’t get as much riding footage from him, but we definitely appreciate every time some footage does pop up! For this weeks Saturday Selects from Kink, they uploaded Darryl’s raw clips from his Titan frame promo that came out back in 2014. Even though this is older footage, fortunately his riding is pretty timeless! Gotta love all the brake action, grinds and those buttery smooth barspins.

“Check out the raw footage from the Darryl Tocco Kink Titan Frame Promo release, a few years back! Darryl has always been riding a bit ahead of the curve, pushing himself and his footage to stand the test of time!”

Drifter Snow Bikes – Alberta Road Trip

October 15, 2017

Like it or not, the winter is coming once again. If you’re in a place that gets dumped on with snow every year like we are, there’s always a question of what to do when riding isn’t exactly an option. Last Spring we got a look at each of the sections from this video, but Drifter Snow Bikes decided to put all of the sections into one edit for your viewing pleasure. Check out what the whole crew got into during their road trip to Alberta, Canada where they spent a few days riding the terrain parks. If this doesn’t look like a fun way to pass the winter months, you’re crazy.

“ Last years Drifter Snowbikes roadtrip was insane and one to remember. We highlighted each rider on the trip, Drifter Dave, Shawn Lee, Maverick, and Dustin Cyganik with there own short edit with all there bangers from the trip. This is a combination of those edits to create the 2017 Alberta /BC Roadtrip Full Hightlights video!”
