X Games Real BMX 2017 – All Videos

June 14, 2017

Earlier today, the X Games unleashed the Real BMX 2017 videos that we have all been waiting to see! We posted up each individual section, but figured it might be easier for people to check out all the videos in one place without having to click around so much. Below you can find all 6 sections from the Real BMX 2017 video contest, which all turned out absolutely amazing. Each rider and each filmer brought their own unique style of how they like to do things and it ended up creating very dialed BMX videos that you won’t want to pass up. After you check out each of the videos, make sure you head over to the X Games website to vote on your favorite video. Your votes will go toward the fan vote that will be announced in a few weeks. Also make sure you watch the full behind-the-scenes show on ABC on June 24 where the judges will announce who got their vote and who took the top spot and why! Until then, enjoy all of the Real BMX 2017 videos below…

Let’s start out with Chad Kerley‘s section that was filmed and edited by Christian Rigal!

Next up, we have Alex Donnachie‘s section that was filmed and edited by Dave Sowerby!

Keep on rolling. Here’s a look at Nathan Williams‘s Real BMX 2017 section that was filmed and edited by Peter Adam!

Back for another round after winning voters choice last year, Colt Fake brought the heat once again with filming and editing being taken care of by Darryl Tocco once again!

Here’s a look at the duo we don’t think too many people could have predicted when they were going to announce the teams this year… Dave Krone – Filmed and edited by Ryan Navazio

Last but not least, here’s a look at Demarcus Paul‘s section that was filmed and edited by Mike Mastroni!

That is all six of the BMX videos that were produced. Like we said up top, these all turned out absolutely amazing and everything from the riding to the film work really kicked ass.

Scotty Cranmer – BMX Obstacle Course Challenge

June 14, 2017

Scotty Cranmer decided it’s time for another obstacle course! This time around they managed to outdo themselves with a bunch of wild obstacles including a massive duck. Hit play to watch Big Boy, Mike Fede, Mike Shimak, Dom Simoncini and Vinny Mannino try and master this mess of madness.

“It’s time for another BMX obstacle course challenge! Our whole crew met up at my bike shop and we build an awesome new course to ride that involved jumping out of the truck, riding over pools, riding through a mess of pallets, jumping over a massive rubber duck, and then finishing with a bunny hop over the fence! All the guys tried their hardest to get through the course but 2 of the guys were able to conquer the obstacle course challenge! And someone even back flipped over the duck!” – Scotty Cranmer

Oakley Dirt Lab Session

June 14, 2017

We’ve seen a handful of videos from the Oakley dirt lab, but it never fails to blow our mind how good it looks. Dylan Stark uploaded this video from a session he caught at the place with Mike “Hucker” Clark, Max Vu and Aryei getting down on all the lines. This has a good amount of POV footage which is rad since Hucker and Dylan crush it from that perspective.

“In this video I head up the the Oakley Headquarters to meet up with Mike “Hucker” Clark and John Brewton and ride the Dirtlab. Later in the session Max Vu and Aryei (a 10 year old shredder from Oregon) come thru for a few laps and Max gets some new shades from Steve!

Oakley Dirt Lab is not open to the public and is for Oakley athletes and guests only.“
