“Featuring riding from Brandon Boyle, Chris Richard, Colby Richard, Hunter McCleaf, Isaac Boyle, Justin Groft, Michael Pettis, Matt “Mouse” Aumen, Matt Malone, Mikee Kenemore, Ryan Parks, and special guest appearance from Brian Kachinsky. Filmed in a span of about a year & a half using various iPhones & a GoPro Hero+ LCD in Hanover, Gettysburg & York, PA, Baltimore & Towson, MD, and Washington D.C. Enjoy.” – Brandon Boyle

Jesus Ortiz 2017 Video

June 17, 2017

The word Savage has been getting thrown around a lot lately and it seems like it’s not quite the same meaning that it used to have. This video featuring Jesus Ortiz set the bar pretty high with the actual title and we were kind of questioning things as soon as we heard the song from Orange Is The New Black. This video featuring Jesus going to work on street spots and skateparks with some real solid grind combos. There’s a few clips that could maybe be classified as savage like the tailwhip down the stair set and the ender clip, so we decided not to oversell it too hard with our title. Overall, it’s a solid video regardless of the title, minus a bit of shaky film work. Take a peek!

DUB BMX – Filippakos Kosmidis In Liverpool

June 16, 2017

Here’s a fresh one from Filipos Kosmidis getting get down on the streets of Liverpool, England for DUB! This video starts out with a massive 360 down a stair set that probably left a few bumps and bruises, then it gets into grind combos and more on ledges and rails he came across. Check this out!

“You may know him by the name Filip Baf but don’t be alarmed, it’s the same guy and he’s back with a stormer of an edit for DUB. We bumped into him while he was over from Greece at the recent jam those guys threw in Liverpool and his knuckles were destroyed after the wild opening clip. Dude put in serious work throughout. Hopefully we’ll get to see him come back to the UK soon and handle that beast.

Scotty Cranmer keeping the videos flowing as always. Here’s a fresh one from a Game of BIKE where they got creative behind Scotty’s shop where the only rules are that they have to stay in the box and have to do tricks with two random pieces to use for a setup. Despite the concept being pretty simple, things got interesting!

“We got all the boys to the shop to play an awesome new game we came up with call MYSTERY BOX GAME OF BIKE! It was so much fun you have a box and the ability to pick two items and set a BMX trick on them. It s really tough to build something and set the trick in a small space. Hope you guys enjoy this one!”
