Epic Fails Compilation – Part 2

December 24, 2016

Sam Baskett sent through another batch of clips from crashes and fails that he collected over the past few years for you to check out. Much like Epic Fails Compilation Part 1, we get a ton of BMX crashes, along with a few randoms like roller blades, mountain bikes and more. Take a peek!

“When I said I have recorded a lot of fails, bails, crashes over the years, I wasn’t joking, Here is montage 2, another 10minutes of brutal crashes and epic fails, for your entertainment. No one died in the filming of these crashes, plenty of lumps and bumps, but awesome memories. Like I said before, I always see crashes as Epic attempts rather than epic fails. But I know most people see it as fails, so that’s what ill call it. Episode 3 needs a few more fails and it will be uploaded soon. I don’t go out purposely wanting crash footage, but in my line of work and the things I do and film, crashing is always part of the game. thanks for watching and hope you enjoy” – Sam Baskett

Diogo Santos – Self Employment

December 24, 2016

It’s always a good day when some Diogo Santos footage pops up online. Diogo has had a really interesting year full of moves and it looks like he’s been enjoying every minute of it. Here’s his latest video that appears to be for the most part all self-filmed. Great spots and awesome riding. Can’t go wrong with that combo!

“Diogo is the kind of guy who lives off the land. He doesn’t require much to stay happy – perhaps just his bike, friends and some fun projects to stay involved in. Early this year he parted ways with his sponsors as a way of stripping back his life and enjoying the finer things – that doesn’t mean he’s slowed down on his bike though, far from it. Enjoy some of Diogo’s latest bike escapades on those teensie pegs. Bean out.” – DIG

Tall Order – Where Is My Red Bull Footage?

December 23, 2016

There’s been a bunch of people asking when Sebastian Keep‘s footage from the crazy gap to wallride drop-in off the bridge would surface online. Especially considering that it was on a cover for Ride UK over a year ago. It looks like we FINALLY get an answer in the latest Tall Order webisode where Bas goes to the Red Bull headquarters to hash out the details and take care of some other business. January 16th is the day and it’s going to be awesome to FINALLY see the footage from the wallride. Until then, hit play and take a look at what Sebastian and Ollie got into during a trip to the Red Bull offices.
