Chronic Bone – Stay In School, Kids

May 10, 2017

The Chronic Bone crew coming through with a new split video featuring Samson Ross and Matthew McCallum going to work on street spots and skateparks. This one has a pretty unserious and laidback vibe, but there is a bunch of real good riding mixed throughout this one with plenty of laughs and weird moments to keep things interesting. The big take away from this? Stay in school, kids! haha

“When we started filming this is March 2015 we had no idea what we were doing, we still don’t but here is the video.
This is pretty much a bunch of B-role clips from a bender.
SAMSON ROSS and MATTHEW MCCALLUM, the two bestest mates, making memories.

Chad Osburn Road 2 Recovery Update

May 9, 2017

Last week we caught wind the Chad Osburn had a bad accident and landed in the hospital. We didn’t get much for details or hear how the accident happened. The crew at Road 2 Recovery have been helping Chad out and just issued an update to fill everyone in on what happened and Chad’s current condition! You can check out the full update below. They are also working on raising an additional $20,000 for Chad’s medical expenses that are piling up. You can Donate Here!

“26-year-old Kink pro BMX athlete, Chad Osburn was recently injured while practicing a trick at his local skate park. He suffered serious injuries to brain that caused two hemorrhages that were localized to the front of his brain. He is also suffering from systems of head trauma; leg spasms, lack of taste and severe pain. Chad is currently recuperating between Dallas Baylor Hospital and his home in Texas.

On Sunday, April 30th Chad and his friend Alex went to a local skate park to practice some tricks and film for Chad’s social media when the accident happen. According to Chad, “It was at the end of the session when I hit the back of my head off a foot tall ledge pedal grind”. He got stuck going backwards from the trick and hit his head full force, knocking him out. He doesn’t remember anything after the fall. Currently surgery is not an option yet. His doctors at Dallas Baylor, want to see if the brain will be able to heal itself. They are closely monitoring him with multiple trips between the hospital and home. Each time his has to go into the hospital to be checked on, he has to be medically transported.

Due to the amount of blood in his brain from the hemorrhages, Chad is not allowed to drive among other things like work and lift anything. Medical transportation is extremely expensive; combined with the fact that he’s not released to work, the expenses are accumulating exponentially.

Chad’s doctors are still accessing the damage but they are expecting him to heal completely. With that being said, Chad still has a long road ahead of him and a lot of expenses that his insurance will not cover. If you are able please donate to his cause here. If you can’t, please share his story and leave a positive message for him to read. Thank you for your support!” – Road 2 Recovery

Scotty Cranmer – 7 Months Since My Accident

May 9, 2017

It’s been a hell of a ride following Scotty Cranmer‘s recovery from his life changing crash 7 months ago. In that time, Scotty has made some incredible progression to get his life back on track. Today, Scotty released his latest video update to give us a look at some of his progress that he has been making! Keep it up, Scotty! You are an inspiration to everyone.

“It’s been seven months since I had my life-changing accident. It has been a very difficult time and I have been working as hard as I can to get back to a normal life. Every day I struggle with regular day to day activities. In this video I decided to show everyone just how difficult normal things like walking and leaving the house are and also how eating food is a struggle due to my issues with swallowing. I also show the progress that I’m making compared to the previous update videos by playing the piano. As terrible as my accident was and as difficult it is to live with this injury I am so blessed to have so many amazing people supporting me and keeping me motivated and inspired to keep pushing. Thank you all”

Haro In Central Mexico

May 9, 2017

A few weeks back, the Haro Bikes team ventured south of the border to central Mexico to see what it had to offer for spots. Below you can find the video giving you a damn good look at what they came across for spots and how hyped the locals were at the shop stops. This is packed full of incredible riding from Dennis Enarson, Tyler Fernengel, Mike Gray, Chad Kerley and Matthias Dandois. The film work was handled by Christian Rigal and turned out absolutely phenomenal, too. Everything about this BMX video is a MUST SEE! Enjoy!

“On arrival into Mexico we were surprised with a full schedule of 8 shop shops in 7 days. Finding spare time to actually ride our bikes became a challenge. Somehow with a crew like this, the good weather and amazing spots equaled quality footage and a video to add to the collection.

Thank you to Xtreme Bike distribution for taking good care of us.
