Frank Ocean “Biking” Ft. Tyler The Creator and Jay-Z

April 8, 2017

It looks like BMX is getting some love in the new Frank Ocean song “Biking” featuring Tyler the Creator and Jay-Z. Above is a snippet that started floating around last night that has a little BMX action mixed in there. The official music video and full song hasn’t officially been released, but it looks like a few people took the opportunity to rip it from the Blonded 003 episode (1:35:25 into it) where the song was premiered and uploaded it to Youtube. Below you can find a Youtube video with the full song that we would imagine will be taken down sooner than later, but you might as well give that a shot. Otherwise, it won’t be long before you can actually stream or download the song.

Update: The full music video now online and can be found up top The video features riding from Nate Richter and you can hear Nigel Sylvester gets a shout out from Jay-Z in the song at the 56 second mark (“Right quick, Nigel Sylvester with a his bike flips”). Pretty wild!

FloriDeah – Heavy Metal Pizza Party

April 8, 2017

The latest episode of FloriDeah has arrived. One again, Trey Jones, Jabe Jones and Alex Lomelli spend some time cruising around spots, mostly just goofing around and having fun. They also spend some time making bad decisions at Cici’s Pizza where we’re sure they ended up having a terrible time in the bathroom after, scaring unsuspecting people on the sidewalk and more. Take a look!

“Jabe, Alex and I drove down to International drive to ride some street and eat pizza! We didn’t ride much but we did laugh a lot!! @treyjonesucks @jabejones @alex_lomelli
music:
Hank 3 – can i rip you (acoustic)

Eh Net! Wikstape

April 8, 2017

There wasn’t much for information to go along with this video from Germany, but we can tell you it’s 25 minutes of real solid riding for your viewing pleasure from the Fettarmemilch crew. This video is a mix of street and skatepark footage with plenty of laughs mixed throughout and a pretty hilarious soundtrack that covers a lot of classics like “Down Under” and “Bad Boys”. Hit play and take it all in!

New Territory: Alicante

April 8, 2017

When you think of Spain, you probably only think of Barcelona or Malaga, which have proven to be two cities that are absolutely amazing for riding BMX. However, the country has plenty more to offer. Tytus Kulinski sent through this video from a trip to Alicante that he took with Mikolaj Mazierski and Mikolaj Pierko! The video has a pretty chill and laid back vibe to it, but it’s loaded with great spots and some clean film work. Plus, all three of these guys have different styles of riding, leading to some creative and unique clips. Overall, this was a great watch, so hit play and take a look! You might just want to take a trip to Alicante, Spain after watching this one.

Empire – PuckPuckPuck Fest 2017

April 7, 2017

Empire BMX coming through with some goodness to enjoy on this Friday Afternoon. Here’s a look at what went down at the second PuckPuckPuck Fest in Austin, Texas. The concept was simple… Have Ryan Corigan and a bunch of others built up some ramps with pallets, bring in a few bands and have a good time! This video shows the build process followed up by the riding and good times that were had! Looks like it was a success to us.

“PuckPuckPuckFest 2.0 went off recently, and was multiple pallet-loads of awesome! huge thanks to Puck, Jack Hartje, and Mabry! big ups to Fine Southern Gentlemen for the venue, and thanks to anyone and everyone who lent a hand
