GT have added Jeff Purdy to their already stacked lineup of riders consisting of Brian Kachinsky, Jason Phelan, Albert Mercado, Dan Conway, Jeff Ludwig and Rob Wise.

Merritt – Justin Care 2017 Video

August 18, 2017

Merritt coming through with a fresh batch of footage featuring Justin Care absolutely slaying street spots. Justin is a grind technician, but that doesn’t keep him from throwing the occasional flair on a tiny bank, throwing tailwhips out of everything, sending it on huge railhop drops and more. This is packed full of heat, so make sure you get on that play button and check it out!

“Justin continues to progress and amaze me every time films. Filmed and edited by Dan Conway” – Merritt

Cam Hardy – BMX Canal Boat Life

August 18, 2017

If you have been wondering where Cam Hardy has been, then this new one from Ride UK has your answer. We’ve seen a few guys living in modified vans that are basically miniature RV’s, but we haven’t heard of too many guys that have been living in a boat, traveling around and riding. Check out this video where Cam talks a little bit about his living setup, along with a bunch of riding clips. This guy loves himself a curved wallride!

“Cam Hardy spends his days living on a canal boat and doing wallrides around London. Watch as Cam cruises the canals, explains the boat life and shreds curved walls.

Rest In Peace, Jason Brown

August 18, 2017

BMX has lost another talented rider… Rest In Peace, Jason Brown.

It’s always a bummer to wake up and hear the news that another BMX rider that left their mark on the history of our sport has passed away. We caught wind that Jason Brown had decided to take his own life the other day. Jason was a professional flatland rider that rode for brands like 2 Hip, GT and Redline over the years and made appearances in the X Games throughout the 90’s. There’s a few words from Effraim over on Flat Matters and Brian Tunney put together a piece on the X Games website. Jason was 46 when he passed.

“Jason Brown-2nd place flatlad pro BMX Worlds. The Netherlands BMX freestyle worlds 1997, Eindhoven. Camera: Tone Stojko & Simon Stojko Falk; director: Simon Stojko Falk”

There have been a few riders that we’ve lost to suicide over the past few years and losing just one is far too many. Depression, anxiety, stress and more can lead people down a very dark road. I’ve been there and many, many, many others have battled with mental illness. If you’re having thoughts of suicide or just having a hard time dealing with life, reach out to people… As many people as you can. Family, friends, drop a few lines on social media… Somebody will be there to help. If you don’t have those, there are a number of different suicide hotlines that are there for you, too. Don’t let it win… Live to ride another day.

Chad Curtis – Burning Daylight

August 17, 2017

You know you’re always in for a treat when Chad Curtis drops a new video. Here’s a look at his Burning Daylight video that is packed full of clips he stacked at a few different skateparks, a bunch of street spots and ditches. As always, Chad brings a unique approach to everything he touches and mixes in X Ups wherever he can. This is a real good watch, so get on that play button already!

Chad is just one of those dudes who is super enjoyable to watch ride and makes you want to get on your bike. Shouts to that 5-cab to manny 180!” – Ride BMX
