A Day With Rob Darden

January 23, 2017

Here’s a combination we are stoked on! Rob Darden took a trip out to visit Dan Foley where they spent a day out cruising spots. Rob took care of the riding and Dan spent his time behind the lens for this one, and it turned out real dialed. Hit play to watch Rob go to work on street spots and a DIY spot, bringing a good mix of tricks to the table like a PROPER abubaca 1 handed X-Up. We were kind of hoping to see a few clips from Dan, but we are still beyond pumped on what Rob cooked up. Hit play and enjoy!

“Rob Darden took a little day trip over to Raleigh the other day, so I took it as an opportunity to point the camera at him. Whether he’s 720ing huge doubles or just cruising the streets, Rob is a true OG on any terrain and always a pleasure to watch.

FBM – Warehouse Vert Session

January 23, 2017

It wouldn’t be a proper BMX brand warehouse without a few ramps to ride, right? FBM have a few ramps set up in their warehouse out in New York and have ended up having some super dialed sessions on them. Here’s a video giving you a look at some of the riding that has gone down on what appears to be two narrow quarter pipes around the 7′ or 8′ height. Definitely some dialed riding and a few real rough slams. Either way, well worth checking this BMX video out!

“The FBM Crew at the FBM Warehouse and Machine shop…
Eric Holladay, James Lukas, Eric Hennessey, Garrett Guilliams, John Corts, Dylan Cole and even a cameo from Dennis McCoy!”

David Grant – Barcelona 2014

January 23, 2017

We cannot even begin to imagine how much footage Alex Donnachie has collected over the years filming the different Nearly BMX videos. Over the past week or so, Alex has been digging through the archives and putting out these raw cuts of footage from different trips that the crew have taken. Above is a short but sweet batch of clips featuring David Grant going to work on spots around Barcelona, Spain back in 2014. As always, David slays some big rails, ledges and drops and maybe gave a person sleeping on a bench a little more than they bargained for. Take a peek!

All Day BMX Shop Street Jam 2016

January 23, 2017

The crew down at All Day BMX Shop are notorious for throwing some BIG jams down in Mexico and this years street jam was no different. Once again, there was a massive turnout, plenty of Pros turned out for the session and it doesn’t appear they had much for problems with the fuzz keeping them from riding. Hit play and check out all the action that went down!

“All Day BMX Shop back at it hosting their 4th annual street jam in Mexicali, Mexico. It seems like every year the turnout gets better and better, a sign of a growing and thriving scene. Locals Javi Quintero, Oscar Santiago, and Maik Alvarez were joined by visitors Reed Stark, Lahsaan Kobza, Demarcus Paul and Tony Malouf for another very successful event. Shop owner Alex Quintero does a great job keeping the good vibes going in Mexico and beyond!

Montana Ricky – Sponsor Me Edit?

January 23, 2017

Despite the fact that Montana Ricky works for Merritt and has a signature frame colorway through Freed Bikes, he still felt compelled to put together a Sponsor Me video for everyone to check out. Montana Ricky is a creative and unique riding machine that never seems to run out of energy… Like an Energizer Bunny (Hey, Energizer… Check this out!) or something. In reality, this video is just a compilation of clips he collected over the past weeks sessions. Once again, plenty of solid riding and a few laughs to take in! Check it out!

“I always wanted to make a new SPONSOR me tape since the last one I made was in 1998…….so here’s a new one 19 years later. I stacked these clips over the weekend on a trip to Ohio. Never know dreams can come true…….I hope !!!!!!”
