The 2nd day of practice for the Vans BMX Pro Cup went down on Friday with plenty of the guys having their lines and the park figured out. Here’s a few videos giving you a look at some of the riding that went down, along with an interview with Ruben Alcantara talking about the park, how it all came to be and more.

No Wasted Days

May 5, 2017

It’s pretty amazing what a road trip with your friends can produce. Not only will you see new things, ride new spots and do things you might not normally get the chance to do, but it always leads to a lot of memories to look back on. Kevin Schnider dropped this edit online from a road trip he took with a few friends down in South Africa! Awesome riding and some clean film work. This is a really good watch from start to finish! Take a look!

“When a friend says to you “Catch a ride with us, we are gonna go sleep in caves and ride some new towns”, then you listen!

This is the product of 3 individuals from different parts of the country, brought together by a spirit of adventure, a lust for new places and riding bikes. This is BMX.

Scotty Cranmer – Riding a Brand New Skatepark

May 5, 2017

Scotty Cranmer just dropped his latest BMX that features Big Boy and Mike Fede catching a session on a recently rebuilt skatepark! The weather might not have been the best, so the session was kept on the mini ramp most of the time, but that didn’t stop the good times from being had! Check it!

“Every single time we go to an outdoor skate park on this channel it seems we get kicked out. The reason for this is that New Jersey has very strict rules against BMX bikes in skate parks. Finally we have one of the most epic outdoor skate parks that has just been built that allows bike riders to enjoy the fun as well. We went to the skate park early in the morning so that there was no chance anyone would be there so we can have it all to ourselves to enjoy. It worked out awesome we were at the skate park for 2 1/2 hours completely by ourselves and by the looks on the boys faces it is a very fun skate park! We did the first ever flare challenge at the skate park, record of the highest air, big boy got his skateboarding on, and he definitely got the first couple falls. It is so awesome to finally have another outdoor skate park that welcomes bikes we hope this trend continues.”

FloriDeah – How To NOT Concrete A Flat Rail

May 5, 2017

The latest FloriDeah has arrived and they have another valuable How To video for your viewing pleasure. This time around they have a valuable lesson in what NOT to do when cementing a rail to the ground. This one starts off with Trey Jones making a stop at Sparky’s Distribution to pick up a few fresh parts from Shadow Conspiracy, then we get a look at the failed attempt at getting the rail dialed in at their DIY spot. Although things didn’t quite go to plan, it looks like they had a good time with the rail!

“We had the idea to concrete a rail into the ground at the DIY spot and it didn’t go so well. This is what not to do.“

Woodward East coming through with a new Power Hour featuring Alex Leibrock going to work on the ramps, rails and ledges inside and out around camp! As expected, Alex unleashes his deep bag of tricks from flips and whips to grind combos keeping things interesting from start to finish! Check it!

“An hour to capture clips doesn’t sound like a lot of time but Alex Leibrock certainly made the best of it. Enjoy some great riding as Alex navigates through Cloud 9, Lot 8, The Rock and the Mini MegaRamp at Woodward PA in 60 minutes.
