The Ciao Crew coming through with a short but sweet video featuring Sebastian Anton putting in some work on the streets of Frankfurt, Germany! This might be short, but the riding and spots are solid and the film work is on point. Can’t go wrong with hitting play on this BMX video!
“Before the temperatures in Frankfurt fell to subzero conditions Sebastian ‘Nacken’ Anton spent a day with Vincent Sylvain to capture some riding & devilish laughs.
Between editing & directing several music videos, Vincent found to time to piece the clips together.
Be on the lookout for more ‘A Day With’ features soon!”
Filmed and edited by Vincent Sylvain
Martin Ochoa coming through with some fresh east coast street goodness for your viewing pleasure! This video is packed full of heat from a bunch of different riders getting down on spots around New York and New Jersey. Even the legend Ralph Sinisi gets in on the action. Take a peek!
Johan Nissen coming through with a dialed BMX video giving us a look at what he got into over the course of the summer. This video has a pretty laid back vibe to it, but Johan did end up coming across some great spots to put work in between Denmark and the United Sates. Hit play and enjoy!
“Good vibes from this summer, including some shots from my travles. Thanks a ton to 4130 shop and HoldFast for hooking me up.
And thanks to everyone who grabbed the camera for this one, and everyone who I spend a session with over the summer. Peace.”
Billy Perry and Anthony Panza have been using drones in their videos lately and they recently got hooked up with a new one to try out called the Yuneec Breeze. Hit play to get a look at the drone, along with some footage from a session they filmed with the camera. Billy and Anthony both give a little review of the drone as well. Overall, it looks like it produces some really quality footage. $400 is not a bad deal for a drone that shoots that quality.
“I headed out to Tanner Skatepark on Long Island, New York to show Panza our new drone. It was a solid afternoon enjoying the Yuneec Breeze drone and riding the park.”
Soul BMX released this dialed video that features Florent Soulas. Not only is this video packed full of amazing riding with Florent’s incredible style, but it also has a bit of an interview with it giving us some insight into how he got into Oyster farming, his past of racing, gardening, juicing and more. We already knew he was an absolute shredder on a bike, but we didn’t know much about what he was into off his bike. Excellent watch! Enjoy!
“FIT’s Florent Soulas has always interested us here at DIG. Never one to put himself into the spotlight we wanted to know a bit more about the man behind the ridiculous front end skills. In conjunction with Soul and Ben Bello, we’re happy to bring you a documentary by Antoine Sabourin delving into the world of oyster farming, family life, mangled pancreases, and of course Florent supplies some of those wild signature clips.
Filmed and edited by Antoine Sabourin” DIG
