Ola Selsjord – Riding An Abandoned Waterpark In Dubai

April 26, 2017

Since we know how much you guys love riding water parks, here’s one for you. Ola Selsjord came across an abandoned water park in Dubai that he managed to ride without much hassle besides the sun setting. Although we’re not really a fan of the vlogs and could do without the talking to the camera, this looks like it was a lot of fun (and probably a little scary and sketchy) to ride. We were a little bummed he passed up that perfect curved wallride opportunity, but that’s just us. Dubai seems to have endless spots to ride. Take a peek!

“I heard there was a crazy abandoned waterpark in Dubai, and I just had to sneak in there to ride!! Seriously one of the craziest BMX experiences I have ever had! Waterparks are usually loaded with good street spots, and this one was no exception.”

BMX Geometry Shirt and Mug

April 26, 2017

After we posted up the long winded post about the possibility that there is an Over Saturated Frame Market the other day, it got us thinking about a t-shirt design we had been bouncing around as an idea for a little while but never got around to finishing. It was pretty simple, just a frame with the different geometry features marked. We had a rough design done and tossed the idea to our friend Brant Moore to see if it was worth doing or not. He ended up cleaning up the drawing a bit and we finished up the final details and ended up with this design. We figured we might as well toss up in the store to see if people are into it! Today, we released BMX Geometry Shirt in our STORE. You can pick it up in black or you can go Light with white, yellow and Ash grey colors. Both are available in sizes Small through XXL for $19.99.

Update: We also have the BMX Geometry MUG available in 11 and 15 oz. sizes. Details below!

Nathan Williams – 10 Years United

April 26, 2017

There is no doubt that the past 10 years have been filled with some incredible riding by Nathan Williams. To celebrate United‘s 10 year anniversary, here’s a BMX video with some of Nathan’s best footage over the years that he has been on the team packed into it! Nathan originally started out as an AM on the team and worked his way up to being one of the best street riders in the world. Talk about some absolutely incredible riding and one video you cannot pass up!

After you watch this, watch Corey Martinez’s 10 Years United Video

“Where do we start with this guy? Countless epic video sections, a consistent barrage of progressive moves since he first appeared on the scene, two NORA Cup wins and an attitude second to none – this dude is the real deal. We celebrate a decade of Nathan’s place in the United family with this unbelievable compilation video featuring some of his finest moments. One of the best ever.

Red Bull – Kriss Kyle: Sounds of Unit 23 Skatepark

April 26, 2017

Using the sounds bikes make for an audio track isn’t anything new. Mr. Green made a lot of music with sounds from riding and there have been a few edits we’ve posted in the past that used the technique. We’ll have to dig into the archives to find it, but we did find one from 2012 with Edwin DeLaRosa that is embedded below. However, every time somebody does this, the music that comes from it is always different and leads to a completely unique song or beat that is pretty rad. Red Bull released this video showing how two music producers worked with Kriss Kyle at Unit 23 Skatepark to come up with their own unique sound and beat. Check out what went down and how it all turned out. If you want to hear the two songs that came from this project, hit up the Red Bull Website.

“See the sounds of the skatepark get turned into fresh tracks as Kriss collaborates with two of Glasgow’s most talented producers.

BMX sensation Kriss Kyle joined forces with two of Glasgow’s up and coming producers – Bessa and Big Miz – to capture the sounds of a session at the UK’s largest indoor skatepark – Unit 23. The two producers then used the samples captured from Kriss’ incredible flow of tricks to each create their own exclusive tracks.”

Sunrise Pool Session

April 26, 2017

Here’s one that’ll get you stoked to go out and ride. Ryan Fudger put together this raw cut from a bowl session he caught with Gary Young, Hoang Tran, Ratty Matty, Allen Twin and Rose Huston. It’s hard to imagine this bowl was filled in, but luckily it has been revived and the good times have continued to flow there. Check out a ton of real good riding and plenty of crashes that went down!

“Sometimes you gotta avoid the bowl trolls. This legendary pool in the greater San Diego area got dug out for a short while and we headed out before the sun came up to be able to get proper session. Thanks to the hard work of the dudes who dug it out…we sincerely appreciate you.

Ben “Twin Finn” McEwen “Blueprint” Section (2001)

April 26, 2017

The guys at Snakebite coming through with another gem from the “Blueprint” video for your viewing pleasure. This time around we get Ben “Twin Finn” McEwen‘s section that is packed with some F-Bombs, street, skatepark and trails gold. It’s safe to say Ben was definitely one of those riders that was ahead of the curve when it came to grind combos and he wasn’t scared to send it on everything he came across. This is a really good watch that will probably surprise a lot of you by just how good this section really is! Great watch.

“I remember filming with Ben for this video and he was on it. He was riding at such a high level at this time that almost everything we filmed he did first or second try. Ben has always had an awesome way he goes at coming up with a new combo or on how he approaches a spot. Ben worked hard for the last spot in the video and i think it definitely shows especially with the bangers he throws down.
Also I’m pretty sure this section has the first smith to barspin ever done.”

April 26, 2017

Here’s a highlight video from the Nerang BMX Jam that went down in Australia the other weekend!
