Nitro World Games 2017 – BMX Semi-Finals Highlights

June 24, 2017

The Nitro World Games are going down this weekend out in Utah and things are starting to heat up! Below you can check out three videos from the BMX Semi-Finals for the triple jump and best trick contests. As you can imagine, a ton of insane riding went down that you’re going to have to rewind and watch a few times to get some of the tricks. Check it out! We’ll have the LIVE STREAM for the Nitro World Games up on the site later today. Things kick off at 3PM Central Time!

“Triples is gnarly. No joke about it. Just before the Semi-Finals was set to happen, Logan Martin took a hard fall and got knocked out. Fortunately it seems like he’ll be okay, but no doubt that he was one of the dudes that was likely to win it. With Logan out, everyone was a bit weary in the beginning, but began firing as usual. Sorry about all the digital zoom…I thought I could hang filming most of it fish and I was both wrong and had some mental/technical issues. I’ll be keeping it simple tomorrow.

And yes the music is more cleared bullshit.

Results (qualify for the finals):
Alex Coleborn
Nick Bruce
Colton Satterfield
Brian Fox
Andy Buckworth
Brandon Loupos
Marcus Christopher” – Ride BMX

“Watch Kyle Baldock, Nick Bruce, Brian Fox, Colton Satterfield, Marcus Christopher, Andy Buckworth, and more battle it out for a chance to compete in the finals of BMX Triple Hit at the 2017 Nitro World Games!” – Vital BMX

“Semi finals is a bit of an underwhelming title for this event, as literally everyone has to do their hardest shit in this four run, two tricks count format to even get into finals tomorrow (which, hey, you know that the finals will be live on ridebmx.com?). So 15 dudes went absolutely ape shit and attempted to throw the hardest tricks they know and probably even some tricks that they’re just hoping to know how to do…

Oh, and I’m sorry that I missed a few tricks. The event wasn’t open to the public and there was no announcer, so people dropped unexpectedly at points.

“Triple flips, 1080s, bikeflip combos, and a whole lot of tricks you probably can’t even name. Watch James Foster, Brandon Loupos, Jacob Bailey, Dawid Godziek, Colton Satterfield, and more throw down at Nitro World Games!” – Vital BMX

Want To Win Anthony Panza’s Bike?

June 24, 2017

It was time for Anthony Panza to build up a fresh new setup, so Cult and Merritt sent through a couple boxes to get him dialed in. Since he has the new bike and his old bike wasn’t going to be getting used, he decided to give his old bike away. Below is a video showing you dialing in his new bike, then he gives you the details on how to win his old bike. Get on it.

“Before I left California, I grabbed some much needed parts, flew home, and instantly starting building up a new bike. This is what I came up with. Huge shoutout to my sponsors (Cult & Merritt) and also Mike & Anthony at The Vicious Cycle Bike shop (@theviciouscycleny) for helping me with everything! To participate in this giveaway, leave a comment on my Instagram post of THIS BIKE and tell me why you think you deserve my old bike. Once I hit 30k SUBS I will choose a winner and make an update video. (U.S ONLY) Thank you guys for watching and don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE!

This episode takes Rick, Keith Treanor, Brian Castillo, Andrew Lazurk and a few other riders and skaters to the Furstcastle pool. Here’s a look at what everyone got into. This one is a little cheesy with the whole sneaking in and “getting caught”, but overall it’s a good watch. Check it out!

Hoffman Bikes – Mason Ritter Early Summer 2017 Video

June 23, 2017

Hoffman Bikes helping you kick the weekend off right with a fresh batch of footage from their team rider out in Pennsylvania, Mason Ritter who has spent the past few months stacking clips at The Wheel Mill, street spots, trails and skateparks! Mason is one of those riders with a deep bag of tricks from technical lip tricks to wild air tricks that helps to keep things real interesting from start to finish! We’re particularly stoked on the number of heel clickers in here and we’re not even sure what to call that last trick!

“For the past few months Mason Ritter has been working with Filmer/Editor Murphy Moschetta hitting the local PA spots. Mason wanted this early summer edit to be relaxed with a few bangers. If this relaxed with a few bangers then we can’t wait for the next edit.

You have to check out his final trick. WOW.

Rider: Mason Ritter

Munich Mash 2017: BMX Spine Ramp Practice Highlights

June 23, 2017

The 2017 Munich Mash BMX spine ramp contest is going down this weekend and it looks like things are already heating up! Freedom BMX dropped this video from practice featuring Daniel Dhers, Tom Justice, Kevin Peraza, Alex Hiam, Pat Casey, Tim Schulze, Kostya Andreev, Daniel Wedemeijer, Jack Clark, Michael Beran, Tobias Freigang and more throwing down on the spine ramp. This is packed with a ton of dialed riding, so we can only imagine the contest is going to be amazing.

“What was already going on during the training for BMX Spine Ramp was almost as hard as what Mr. Kevin Peraza, Pat Casey, Alex Hiam and the crew had unpacked later on the day of the Best Trick contest. He then won Pat Casey with a 180 Barspin to Tuck No Hander to Fakie 360 Whip. Congratulations!” – Freedom BMX

Scotty Cranmer and FloriDeah At Woodward East

June 23, 2017

All week we have been posting FloriDeah videos from Trey Jones, Jabe Jones and Matty Cranmer‘s week at Woodward East. Now today, we get a double whammy because Scotty Cranmer and Big Boy took a trip out to Woodward to join the crew for a full day of good times. Here’s TWO videos from Scotty and Trey’s channels to give you a good look at what they all got into!

“So if you don’t know camp WOODWARD is the Disney world of the action sports world. They have some of the top skatepark facilities in the entire world. We decided go down for a day and enjoy some fun times with the campers. Matty and Trey were already down there and we met up with them. When we got there everyone wanted a flair challenge so I came up with the idea to get Big Boy to flair every single park at woodward INCLUDING THE MINI MEGA RAMP! I am convinced that Big Boy has lost his mind But sit back and enjoy the riding from all the boys at woodward because they all killed it.” – Scotty Cranmer

“Another awesome day at camp woodward! Big Boy and Scotty decided to come over for the day to come hang out with us! We rode around camp all day and just did what we do best…. HAVE FUN.” – Trey Jones
