Billy Perry – The Street Series In London

July 27, 2017

If you caught the past few videos from Billy Perry you probably knew that he took a trip over to London, England for The Street Series and BMX Day. Here’s a video he put together giving us a look at what went down from his point of view! Looks like it was an amazing day despite not the best weather.

“I visited London to attend the last official “The Street Series” that took place on July 22nd. It ended up raining so we didn’t get to ride any street spots, but madness ensued at London’s famous South Bank skatepark! Massive thanks to Monster and The Street Series for throwing this event. Even though The Street Series has ended, BMX Day will continue next year.” – Billy Perry

BSD have just released details on the latest colorway for the Alex Donnachie signature ALVX Frame! Here’s a look at the Special Edition Digital Camo ALVX frame that’ll be hitting BMX shops and mail-orders that carry BSD worldwide.

Scotty Cranmer – Big Boy Gets Knocked Out

July 26, 2017

Yesterday Scotty Cranmer uploaded the first part from the Scotty Cranmer BMX Jam, now today we get a look at part two from the dirt jumping jam, Big Boy taking a little nap after a fakie front flip gone wrong, product toss and more! As expected, plenty of madness! Check it out!

“The scotty Cranmer BMX jam was such an amazing event! Over 900 people came out to support me and have an awesome day riding BMX! This video is the second half of our experience in Connecticut we left off showing an insane crash that big boy had an in this video you see the crash was on a front flip attempt gone wrong. Big boy went face first on the pavement and scared everyone of us but somehow he got back up on his feet and continue to give everybody an awesome show! Cory puppy arms berglar also took a huge crash trying his first ever backflip double tail whip over the box! But Cory is the toughest guy out there and he got up like a champion! After the show we had the dirt event and we also had the pit bike race and both were so much fun. This event was absolutely amazing and I am so grateful for everyone that came out to meet us. Thank you everyone for helping me out thank you Joe Doherty and everyone else for your kindness and support!”
