This video features Erik Norrman, John Lind, Robin Törnroos, Mattias Bjärkby, Benjamin Åkerman and Nicholas Jackson all going to work on spots. Although this city has seen thousands of BMX riders and hundreds of videos, it’s still producing. This video has some great riding and some clean film work with a chill vibe.

Throwback: Tobias Wicke 2012

December 29, 2016

If you Subscribe to Freedom BMX on Youtube, you might have noticed they have been uploading a bunch of their older videos to their Youtube channel. This morning we woke up to this Tobias Wicke video from 2012 that was too good not to give a repost. We haven’t seen much from Tobias this past year or so, but it’s safe to say he’s probably still absolutely DESTROYING everything he comes across from his super technical lip tricks to bombing down big rails and more. Either way, this is a great watch, so hit play and enjoy!

December 28, 2016

You can’t go a day without one of these fan compilation videos popping up on Youtube. Somebody went through and grabbed a bunch of Garrett Reynolds‘ clips from this past year and compiled them into one short but sweet edit. This has Instagram clips, a few clips from his Real BMX section and more mixed throughout. All we know is this can’t possibly be all of his best clips because that video would probably be like an hour long, haha. Take a peek!

However, after you watch this video you have no excuse not to keep and eye on this kid because he has a DEEP bag of tricks that will blow your mind. Hit play to watch him throw down at the Daniel Dhers Action Sports Complex for this new Power Hour. Super funny how Daniel and Kyle gave Justin the Danny Hickerson History Test in the middle of this one, too.
