Take a look!

Eastern – How To Bike Lasso with Adam Banton

October 5, 2017

If you’re looking for a fun trick to do while you’re just screwing around, Adam Banton has a trick tip on the Bike Lasso (I honestly had never considered that to be the name of the trick)! This trick is fairly basic, but takes a little practice to perfect and can be mixed in, in the most random times. Hit play and let Adam give you a bunch of tips and examples, then give it a go… I know there’s footage of me completely eating shit doing one of these somewhere online, haha.

“The Bike Lasso is an oldie but a goodie. Eastern pro Adam Banton takes you through the steps of the trick and adds in some helpful tips to get you slinging that thing in no time.

Song: “German Film” by Adam Banton”

Brian Tunney – Summer 2017 Clips

October 4, 2017

It has been a while since Brian Tunney has put out a full edit, but we were stoked to see this new one pop up from some of his flatland sessions over the course of the past few months. The video has a pretty laid back vibe to it, but there’s plenty of great riding to keep your attention from start to finish no problem, and the song selection is on point, too. Plus, Brian even managed to get us pretty good with the description, haha. Hit play and enjoy!

“This is a collection of random clips from June to September of 2017, filmed between the garage, the same garage, the church and the school, which makes me sound like an upstanding citizen on paper, but I can assure you, that’s sometimes the case. As evidenced in the video, I have been a little obsessed with smith decades lately but I’m slowly working past that. Basically, I can write anything in here and any BMX sites will just copy and paste what I’m saying. The song is unknowingly provided by Mark Kozelek and Desertshore, but I met him in an airport once in 2012 and we talked about snowmobiles and I could tell he would approve of me using this song” – Brian Tunney

Morgan Long – Fit Bike Co. Hoodbird Build Video

October 4, 2017

One of the perks of being a Pro rider is that you get the chance to build up a fresh bike on a fairly regular basis. Morgan Long was due for a new setup, so he had Fit Bike Co. sent over his signature Hoodbird Frame and Hoodbird Bars and a bunch of other Fit Bike Co. parts to dial in a new bike with. Here’s a look at him building up the new bike, along with a couple quick clips from the first cruise on it.

“Morgan Long builds up a fresh new signature FitBikeCo. HoodBird frame and HoodBird bars and rolls around the City for a clip!”

Close Call For Scotty Cranmer At The Skatepark

October 4, 2017

Scotty Cranmer, Big Boy and Cory Berglar decided to catch a session on a sunny day. Here’s a look at what all three of them got into. This starts out with Cory and Big Boy stacking clips, then Scotty gets on the bike for a little session at the end. Things get a little sketchy for Scotty before calling it a day. Take a peek!

“Today Cory, Big Boy, and myself decided that we wanted to enjoy the nice weather and head to a local skatepark around our area for a quick little session! We drive all the way there and when we pull Cory’s bike out of el blanco diablo it had a flat. So Cory was pretty bummed, good thing I brought my bike to the session, because Cory ended up getting some tricks on my bike even know he was not to happy about it. I ended up riding at the end of the session and I saw this jump I could hit which is a major step for me and my progression so stay tuned till the end of todays episode to see how much progress I have been making.”
