Bernhard Ebner – 9 Months In Salzburg

June 22, 2017

It has been a while since we’ve seen Bernhard Ebner‘s name pop up, but it’s safe to say he’s been busy putting in work on his bike. Check out this dialed new video that was filmed over the course of 9 months from psyche wards to street spots. Bernhard isn’t scared to send it on anything he comes across. Everything about this one kicks ass from the riding to the film work. Hit play and enjoy.

“Bernhard Ebner enjoys a few things, fixing up his old Ford Granada, exploring weird and wonderful Psychiatric children’s wards (seen in the intro) and firing out handrails. Bernhard spent 9 months filming in Salzberg for this and filmer Jakob Deutschmann put a huge amount f TLC into this. Sit down, and watch 7 minutes of Mr Ebner.

NASS 2017 Rider List Announced

June 22, 2017

The annual NASS Festival is going down over in the UK July 6th – 9th and we just got word of the rider line up for the BMX park, vert, dirt and flatland contests. As expected, there’s plenty of big names that should be a draw for a good show. Check out the full list below!

“Once again, an epic line-up of the world’s best BMXers will compete across Park, Vert, Dirt and Flatland at the UK’s number one action sports festival this July.

For a second year, the iBMXFF World Championships will return to NASS Festival on the 6th – 9th July.

Reigning BMX world champions Logan Martin, Vince Bryon and Nick Bruce are all returning to defend their crowns and are joined by the likes of Mark Webb, Daniel Dhers, Daniel Sandoval, Brandon Loupos and Alex Coleborn.

Last year Logan Martin took Pro Park Gold with ease and in Vert no-one could touch Vince Byron as he took top spot ahead of Simon Tabron and Douglas Oliviera. Ohio’s Nick Bruce was unstoppable in Dirt as he was named World Champion ahead of Leandro Moreira and Daniel Sandoval.

Richie Inskip, NASS Sports Manager, said: “BMX is a massive part of what NASS is all about and to host the BMX World Championships is a huge honour so to host it two years in a row is just insane, we couldn’t be happier about it.”

“We’ve got some of the biggest and best names in the sport coming to NASS this year and I have no doubt that this year’s contest is going to be even bigger than last year. These guys may be young but make no mistake, they’re the best around and they’re all serious competitors so we’re going to be in for quite a show.”

Inspired by the individuality and creativity of alternative youth culture, 15,000 music & action sport fans will make their way to the Bath & West Showground for a weekend of action sports, live music and hardcore revelry.

Hip Hop royalty in the shape of Wu Tang Clan’s Method Man and Redman have been announced to headline Friday night supported by rising grime star Giggs. They join grime legend Kano, Aussie Drum and Bass outfit Pendulum and DJ duo Sigma with many more musical acts still to be announced.

Scotty Cranmer – Budget Build Ramp Challenge

June 21, 2017

Scotty Cranmer decided it’s time for another Budget Build. This time around he’s having the guys try and figure out how to build a ramp setup out of old pallets and random parts around like folding chairs and saw horses. Sounds sketchy? It is! Check out what Big Boy, Vinny Mannino and Cory Berglar were able to throw down on the ramp below!

“We have done the budget build here on the channel before but it has been a while. So today we decided to try and create a sketchy spine ramp in the back of my bike shop. After a couple hours of building it we finally had a ghetto but working spine ramp. Videos like these are to show you don’t always need a skatepark to have fun and learn new tricks on your bike you just need to have some creative brains and the ability to have fun!”

June 21, 2017

Day two of the Woodward East trip that Trey Jones, Matty Cranmer and Jabe Jones are on this week. Here’s a look at Trey and Matty out cruising a bunch of the different ramp setups around camp. It looks like Jabe is rocking crutches, so he’s probably out for the week. Plenty of dialed riding and laughs throughout the day. Check it!

“Day 2 was amazing! I filmed through out the day of just everything that was going on. A lot of stuff went on and we rode tons of parks. Overall solid day. Stay tuned for Day 3 tomorrow!”
