FloriDeah – Pool In The Hollywood Hills

August 10, 2017

It looks like Trey Jones has been making the most of the trip out to California for the Vans BMX Pro Cup. The other day he checked out the Mt. Baldy Full Pipe, now we get a look at what he got into with some of the Cult crew in a pool session. After the session they checked out some live music! Hit play and take it all in.

“This day was kickass! We headed from HB towards Hollywood. We stopped at a skatepark and then headed to the pool that was located in the Hollywood Hills. It was pretty surreal. After the pool session, we went to a heavy metal show to see a few bands including the sludge metal gods, Eyehategod. IT WAS AMAZING. COMPLETELY INSANE DAY

Billy Perry – UK BMX Road Trip Part 2

August 10, 2017

Billy Perry coming through with part 2 from his trip to the United Kingdom where he spent a few days checking out spots with Josh James and the Boqer crew. The weather wasn’t the best, but that didn’t keep a proper indoor skatepark session, a little outdoor session and some dirt bike time. Check it!

“In typical English weather fashion, it rained for two days in the middle of our UK road trip so we headed down to The Base Skatepark for a session. The Box Jumps, smooth rhythm section and foam pit ended up making it one of my favorite indoor skateparks yet. The last day of the trip consisted of a chill outdoor skatepark session and some dirt bike riding at the quarry in Josh’s hometown of Cheltenham.” – Billy Perry

Mike Hinkens – BMX Street In Ecuador

August 10, 2017

For those of you who didn’t know, Mike Hinkens made the move from his hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin last year. As expected, he immediately went to work finding all the best spots to ride around the area. Here’s a video giving you a look at Mike and a few friends putting in work on the spots that he has come across so far. As always, Mike comes through with some real solid riding with plenty of grinds and cassette usage! Take a peek!

“Mike Hinkens moved to Guayaquil, Ecuador last summer and has been steady searching the largest city in the country for spots. When I got the chance to be there for three weeks I jumped at the opportunity to experience Ecuador. The days were short and extremely hot/humid but as you can see, Mike pushed through. – Grant Castelluzzo

“Super stoked on the awesome spots in Ecuador, but more stoked on the awesome dudes that have made riding here possible. Shoutout to all my homies in Guayaquil for the spots, the tours, and the good times! Muchísimas gracias a la gente de Guayaquil.” – Mike Hinkens
