August 22, 2017

The Fit Bike Co. crew are back at it with a fresh F-Log for your viewing pleasure. This time around we get a little behind the scenes look at filming for their 2018 complete bikes promos where the crew had to get creative to help Tom Dugan get into the action with a jacked up wrist.

“We’re still making commercials for our 2018 line of bikes (arriving in September) and due to Dugan’s recent accident we really had to improvise. Get a behind the scenes glimpse of the video shoot for Dugan’s complete while the rest of the crew runs around with the original F-LOG cam.

Kink BMX – 12″ Roaster Bike Rips!

August 22, 2017

It’s been rad seeing so many younger kinds getting on BMX bikes at earlier and earlier ages. Kink hooked Chad Osburn‘s kid, Ezra, up with one of their 12-inch 2018 Roaster Complete Bikes up to start ripping around on. Here’s a short but sweet video featuring him cruising around the skatepark. Below we have more info on the bike!

“Ezra Osburn Riding the new Kink Coaster 12″ bmx bike!”

“Simply put the Kink Roaster is designed to be a kids first BMX bike. The 12” wheel and frame size make it an easy transition from a balance bike, and means kids will feel completely comfortable on their first pedaling bike. Once again, this bike isn’t simply a bike with 12” wheels or merely a miniaturized BMX bike. It factors into account standard BMX geometry, and applies them to a younger child’s size and needs.

The Gloss Blue Chill colorway really shines while the bike sports some great components throughout. In addition to the miniaturized 5” Kink Puma CC bars and 12” Kink Lance forks, the Roaster features a coaster brake in lieu of a lever based brake system, that could be too difficult for some children to use at a young age. For 2018, the chainstay bridge design has been updated to fit a caliper brake or 990 plate for those looking to add a lever style brake as well.

Note: Designed for children ages 4 and up. Seat height adjustable from 15.5″-18″.” – Kink

The Boardroom – Ryan Aylward 2017 Video

August 22, 2017

It’s kind of crazy that we don’t see a ton of BMX videos coming out of Ireland, especially Dublin. The place looks like it has plenty of spots to ride. Either way, today we’re treated to a new one from The Boardroom featuring Ryan Aylward going to work on spots around Dublin. This is a real solid watch from start to finish with a mix of grinds, spins and more. Take a peek!

“Ryan Aylward in the streets of his hometown Dublin, filmed by Eoin Shiel. Here’s what Eoin had to say about how this edit came about:

“I had this footage sitting on my computer for a long time. There was no reason for never doing anything with it, I guess it just kept slipping my mind.

Ryan and I used to ride, hang out and film quite a lot together, but sometimes things change. Screws fall out. That’s life.

The other week Ryan and his lovely missus moved to Barcelona. A few days later I heard about the terror attacks.

Thankfully they’re both safe, but it got me thinking about how strange the world is and how we’re all just a spark in the fire.

Regardless of that, everyone tries to make their time count.

Reg and I put in a fair bit of work for these clips, I’m glad they’re seeing the light of day.””

Callan Stibbards – Left Over Bacon and Eggs

August 21, 2017

It’s always good to see some fresh footage from Callan Stibbards. Here’s a batch of “leftover” footage that hasn’t found its way into any other projects. We’re not quite sure how these clips are leftovers since there are a ton of bangers in this from big rails to backflips out of tight transitions and more. Callan is a beast. Check it!

Song he enjoys right now.
Enjoy” – JustAGame
