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.

Red Bull – Raditudes: Endless Possibilities

December 23, 2016

Red Bull have released Season 3, Epsisode 7 of their Raditudes series! This time around we go to France to get some insight from Matthias Dandois on his style of riding which mixes flatland and street riding amazingly. After that we get a look at him pulling off a completely new trick! This is an awesome watch. Enjoy!

“Matthias Dandois believes that the potential of flatland BMX is still largely untapped. To prove it, he draws on BMX park influences and attempts a new trick that has been in his head for nearly a year.

Mongoose – A Weekend In NC with Pat Casey

December 23, 2016

Mongoose just dropped this new video featuring Pat Casey having a very productive weekend in North Carolina throwing down at the DDASC park, a few cement parks, Leigh Ramsdell‘s backyard and more! Needless to say, Pat made the most of this short trip!

“Pat Casey went to North Carolina for a weekend to see what the local parks around Raleigh had to offer. The temperature was way colder than Pat is use to but he powered through and came out with a solid video filmed in just a day and a half.”
