Riders of the Lost Ramp

May 22, 2017

It’s always pretty crazy how many insane spots there are in this world that people probably have never seen or header of. Here’s a perfect example from a trip Daniel Dhers took to Malaysia to ride this old abandoned ramp that clearly hadn’t been touched in years. It looks like there was a bowl in there that never was dug out based off the drone footage. Hit play to get a little bit of the story, along with a ton of great riding from Daniel and some of the locals. This place looks like fun to ride to us!

“Daniel Dhers thought he rode everything… that was before knowing there was an abandoned ramp at the heart of the jungle, on the other side of the globe.”

More About 25.4mm Bars and Stems

May 22, 2017

Are 25.4mm bars and stems the next big thing?

We have been hearing more and more about 25.4mm handlebars and stems and it seems like there’s a lot of debate stirring about if it’s necessary or if it will ever take off and become a standard for BMX. If you aren’t really up on all the reasons for running a 25.4mm set of handlebars and stems, then there is an interview with one of Wethepeople‘s product designers, Mike Frisk, where he explains why Wethepeople and Eclat are moving in that direction. You can check out the full interview over on BMX.com right here — Is 25.4mm The Next Big Thing?

In The Cut – DUB Jam 2017

May 21, 2017

Every time the DUB crew throw a street jam, you know there’s going to be a massive turnout and a ton of amazing riding going down. Here’s a raw cut from the DUB Jam that went down recently that, despite a little rain, looks like it went off proper. Here’s a raw cut from the day for your viewing pleasure.

“We haven’t missed a DUB Jam yet and a torrent of rain wasn’t about to stop us this time. Despite that we still arrived late, so sorry to the folk who were shredding in the rain earlier on – you’ll be able to catch all those clips in the official DUB video soon. As always the best times catching up with old friends and watching the next generation come through. The UK is definitely rife with serious street talent. Massive thanks to DUB, everyone who came through, the sun, Official DIG Partners and DUB Jam sponsors:

Mateus Beckmann – Longest Fakie Manual? (2017)

May 21, 2017

We’re not sure what the longest fakie manual length would be or if there is an actual official world record for it, but there’s a good chance Mateus Beckmann is probably up there for record lengths. Last year he posted a clip of the Longest Fakie Manual he did, but it looks like he decided to try and up his previous attempt and go even further. Hit play on the video above to see just how far he was able to go before he ran out of steam. We have a feeling if he had a little more of a downward slope he could have kept this going for quite a bit longer, too. Take a look!
