The Vans BMX Pro Cup is a very, very serious event with some of the top BMX riders in the world, and some of the finest in BMX media on site. It’s a little known fact that Jason Watts is one of the top BMX filmers in the world, and crushes it all with the dad cam. Here’s a little behind the scenes look Vans put together showing you Jason’s very impressive filming techniques he used during the event with his top of the line camera. This is amazing.

Poiss Barbier was sitting on a bunch of clips that didn’t have a home from his travels from the United States, France and Spain, so he decided to whip up this fresh video for your viewing pleasure. This has some real solid clips, great shots of the cities he visited and more.

“Here are some clips that never found home in a video.From MIAMI, PARIS, LYON & MADRID. Some are just terribly filmed, other are from project that never came out, and the rest have just been lost in my hard drive.

Enjoy!” – Poiss Barbier

Mongoose Jam 2017 – Camper Selection Session

August 9, 2017

It’s that time of the year again for the annual Mongoose Jam! The other day the crew had all the campers compete for their spots on each of the teams. Here’s a look at what went down and who got picked to ride on each of the teams! This should be another awesome year for the contest, so get ready!

“One of the coolest parts of the Mongoose Jam is the camper selection session. It all goes down during the Woodward camper jam where the Mongoose teams watch the action and discuss which rider they want to have join their team. It doesn’t have to be the best riders with the hardest tricks, either—the only criteria is that all the riders have to be actual campers. The level of riding at the Mongoose Jam 2017 Camper Selection Session was super high, and in the end, the five campers who got picked to ride and film with some of the sickest pro riders and filmers were Ren Ota from Japan, TJ Ettinger, Jack Seeley, Oliver Foster, and Jacob Senger.” – Ride BMX

Scotty Cranmer – Ice Cream For The Whole Skatepark

August 9, 2017

Scotty Cranmer dropped the final video from his trip to California where he spent the day with Matty Cranmer and Big Boy cruising a skatepark. Scotty was feeling generous, so he bought all the kids at the skatepark Ice Cream to beat the heat after the session. After that, they grab some food, then give a little tour of the fancy hotel room they had for the night, haha. Check it!

“Last video in California, bummed we are leaving but excited to get home to get the 1 million challenge going. Thank you to everyone that we met in CALIFORNIA for such a good time! Let’s get to 1million we can do this!” – Scotty Cranmer

Woodward West coming through with a new Power Hour featuring Nikita Ducarroz getting loose all over camp from the trails to the ramps and rooftops.

Empire BMX – Steven Hamilton “Gardenhead”

August 9, 2017

It’s always a good day when Steven Hamilton has a new video to check out! Empire just released this new video featuring Steven doing what he does best… Riding unique spots on his bike and skateboard with a creative and different approach to spots. This is a damn good watch from start to finish, so hit that play button and enjoy!

“Steven takes you on a journey through time and space, relentlessly driving his unmatched spot awareness and trickability through your gray matter like the trillion trillions of neutrinos passing unimpeded across the barren expanse of our solar system, detached from the choking constrictions of irrational emotional attachments and immune from the distractions and limitations forced upon us by a moral code rooted in the fear and uncertainty of ancient civilizations who gazed upon the sky thousands of years ago, moved to make sense of the void, unwilling or unable to look inward upon the true nature of truth: that we are beings of stardust, empowered by the very thing that simultaneously subjugates us and sets us free, a physical body ingeniously encoded with spiritual profundity” – Empire BMX
