Ghetto Dirt Jump Flip Challenge

February 27, 2017

Scotty Cranmer coming through with a new video for your viewing pleasure. This time around Scotty watches Big Boy and Cory Berglar build a little dirt jump out of a random pile of dirt they came across, then Big Boy and Cory send a few tricks. Big Boy made some big promises by saying he would backflip it… Does he pull it off? Hit play and find out.

“We drove past a pile of dirt and big boy opened up his mouth and said “I could backflip that!” I was quite surprised that he called himself out so on the next nice day we were at the bike shop and the time came for big boy to put his money where his mouth is! Cory puppy arms Berglar was there to help build the jump and teach big boy how to backflip it! So we built a jump and it took a lot of effort to make it Good enough to do the backflip! But the boys also did some other tricks to get warmed up like tail whip and 360 which were both very impressive! The jump was barely 3 feet but both the boys did try the backflip it was insane!”

Vans BMX Pro Cup – Rider Profile: Dennis Enarson

February 27, 2017

We don’t necessarily need a rider bio on Dennis Enarson since most of you checking this out are very familiar with how much Dennis shreds on a bike… BUT! We won’t say no to a rider profile video on a guy like Dennis, either! Hit play to check out a few clips of Dennis going to work on both of his backyard ramp setups out in San Diego!

“Dennis Enarson is a World Title Invitee in the Vans BMX Pro Cup Series. Vans wanted to hang with Dennis before he headed out to the first stop of the series in Australia. Make sure to watch out for Dennis killing in the park at each stop of the series!”

Dan Foley – Training For Vans BMX Pro Cup

February 27, 2017

Dan Foley is one of the 19 invited riders for the Vans BMX Pro Cup this summer, so he figured it might be a good time to get a little practice in before heading down to Australia for the first round. Here’s a look at just how Dan prepared for the contest… This is definitely some super serious training regimen that we don’t think any average rider could possibly keep up with. Check out how the Pros do it!

“Training hard for the first stop of the 2017 Vans Pro Cup in Sydney, Australia. The journey to Australia takes over 24 hours and definitely isn’t cheap. Trying not to blow it.”

“Markit Zero” – Full Video

February 27, 2017

The full “Markit Zero” video is now online…

Here’s one we were tipped off about that we did not expect to see online. The first full-length video from Markit, “Markit Zero” is now online for your viewing pleasure. This video originally came out back in October of 2013 and hasn’t been available online until now. Even though this video is a little over 3 years old, it’s still absolutely amazing and the riding still feels ahead of its time with so many bangers. Everything from the riding to the film work, spots and Dennis Enarson’s old car exploding to a million pieces is amazing! Hit play and enjoy this one over and over again! There’s a reason this won a NORA Cup for BMX video of the year.

“Markit is a crew of good friends who all love shredding bikes, filming clips, and going on trips together. Featuring the riding from Chad Kerley, Connor Lodes, Dennis Enarson, Mike Jonas, Geoff Slattery, Rob Wise, Ronnie Napolitan and Christian Rigal, Markit Zero is our first full length feature. Enjoy!”

Filmed and edited by Christian Rigal

Above is the original video cover that is too good not to reshare with the video!

One section not in the video above is the crash bonus section that’s been online for about a year now…

“This is by far one of the heaviest crash sections you are ever going to see! The crew took a beating for MARKIT ZERO. We had to make sure the BMX world got a behind the scenes look into what it really took to create this DVD. Get ready for over seven minutes of raw, savage falls for your viewing pleasure.
