December 9, 2016

Here’s a video we had sent through from the Aros BMX crew from some of their indoor sessions they have been getting in since the temperatures have dropped over in Sweden. Hit play to check out what Anton Markgren, Andreas Lundin, Robin Lundin, Adam Vesterberg, Fredrik Dahlström, Jonathan Thane and Jesper Söderman threw down on the ramps, rails and ledges. Plenty of real solid riding to take in, in this one.

Dan Foley – #CoverageMatters

December 8, 2016

There has been a big push to get people to give Obama Care a shot and it seems like more and more people have been finding it out to be really helpful, especially for the BMX riders and freelance people out there that normally can’t cover the cost of insurance. Here’s a video the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services dropped featuring Dan Foley dropped giving some insight into his experience with it since he’s not only a Pro rider, but a freelance film maker as well. Sounds like we don’t have to worry about setting up any GoFundMe pages if something goes wrong. Check it out!

“Dan Foley is a BMX rider from Raleigh, North Carolina. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, Dan was able to stay on his parents’ plan until 26. After that, he went to the Health Insurance Marketplace and got coverage for $32/month after tax credits. Dan is young, but he knows he’s not invincible. ” – U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

“Volume Two” Dissected by Mike Mastroni

December 8, 2016

The “Volume Two” video from Volume Bikes is just a few days away and we’re definitely in for a treat. Since this video project should be pretty heavy, Ride BMX caught up with Mike Mastroni to get a little perspective on just what we can expect! Hit play and get real excited.

“Volume Team Manager and Videographer Mike Mastroni gives you the play-by-play of their soon to be released (Dec. 15th) “Volume Two” web piece… breaking down each dude’s section in a way that makes you appreciate the riding without even seeing it. (But we did pack this thing with behind-the-scenes footage). Filmed over the past year and featuring full sections from Boyd Hilder, Drew Hosselton, Brady Tweedy, and Eric Bahlman, this is sure to be a standout piece of BMX cinema that leaves you wanting to ride your bike, or watch it over again.”

Billy Perry and “Gang” Arrested

December 8, 2016

It looks like the law finally caught up with Billy Perry and his “gang” and have put Billy, Anthony Panza, Jonathan Nemecek and Brian Chliek under arrest for riding the Splish Splash Waterpark. We’re not sure of the extent of things yet since it appears that Billy and Anthony are out since they have tweeted and released videos since. It does sound like they will be going to court in February, where things will get all figured out. Base off the news story (which you can check out below), it’s safe to say the media has been, and is, blowing this way out of proportion. They’re clearly milking this for everything it has by trying to track these guys down to get comments on the situation from their door steps. It’s really unfortunate they are painting these guys are the worst criminals ever. It’s unfortunate, but as far as we’re concerned is this is all just making the water park and news look bad, haha. This could have flown under the radar, but because all the media attention it’s causing the video to get more and more views and more people talking about it.

You can check out a news story RIGHT HERE.

We’re just wondering if this will have any sort of impact on other riders. Will this keep you from riding street or hopping fences to ride spots? Let us know in the comments!

Jack Mould – Park Life 2016

December 8, 2016

It has been a little while since we’ve had a new Jack Mould video pop up, but it looks like he’s still out there absolutely shredding skateparks over in the U.K! Here’s his latest video from a couple different skateparks where he puts his deep bag of tricks to good use. This also has some really dialed film work. In short, this is a really good BMX video that you won’t want to pass up!

“I first saw 18 year old Jack Mould riding at Corby earlier this year, his riding stood out from everyone else. We got talking and I found out he was looking to start filming a new edit. I imediatley offered to film him, he said yes and four months later we have produced this. Jacks progression from the first session until the last was unreal and I even got to film tricks here that he had never done before, including the last trick. Enjoy.” – Mike Alford

BSD have released another banger of a section from their “Transmission” DVD for your viewing pleasure! This time around we get Luc Legrand‘s section that is loaded with big gaps, rails and wallrides. Lucc brings plenty of speed and style to the table, and had a great eye for spots many people might not consider. Enjoy!
