It’s always interesting when you see companies outside of BMX come through with BMX bikes and try to appeal to actual riders. The reason it’s funny is because 9 times out of 10 the bikes are not designed to actually withstand the abuse that actually comes from riding. Big Boy, Ricky Hoffman and Dom Simoncini caught a session at 5050 Skatepark where they had the opportunity to ride some of these Electric BMX bikes. It turns out these bikes fell into that 9 out of 10 category and ended up finding out what a few grinds from Austin Augie and a flair from Big Boy can do to one of these bikes. Hit play to check out a bunch of clips form the session and then a look at some of the “testing” that went down, haha.
DDASC Complex AM – Mongoose Best Trick Highlights
Mongoose Best Trick – DDASC Complex AM on Vital BMX
This past weekend was the Daniel Dhers Action Sports Complex AM contest out in North Carolina. As expected, the contest had a real good turn out and plenty of dialed riding went down. Here’s a highlight reel from the Mongoose Best Trick jam that lead to some heavy tricks from a bunch of young guns. It’s crazy how much people are sending it these days!
“The first ever DDASC Complex AM went down this past weekend and Mongoose put up a badass prize for the best trick contest – a custom Mongoose / Lairdframe collab. Check out a few of the tricks that went down in the twenty minute time limit!
The footplant to frontflip took home top honors.

Corey Martinez – Nashville Streets
Corey Martinez dropped a fresh video on his Youtube channel for you to check out. This video features clips from some time Corey, Dakota Roche, Shane Weston and Nathan Williams spent cruising spots in Nashville, Tennessee! You already know with a link up like this that there’s plenty of dialed riding to take in! Check it!
… Did they get that guy to un-kick them out of a spot, then basically kick himself out of the spot? Awkward.
Shadow Conspiracy – Johnny Atencio: Los Angeles Dreaming
If you haven’t picked up on Johnny Atencio yet, we’re going to tell you that you really should have this guy on your radar. Here’s another really dialed reason! Hit play to watch Johnny slay spots for The Shadow Conspiracy where he slays a bunch of rails and cooks up some real solid lines. It’s safe to say Johnny isn’t scared to send it! Check it!
“Johnny “Ice” Atencio popped up on our radar over a year ago when he put out some savage footage which welcomed him to the Shadow and Subrosa squads, but also included one of the biggest crank arm grinds I’ve ever seen, still to this day. Fast forward a year and a half later and Johnny is killing it harder than ever. Fresh off his move to Southern California he linked up with Fernando Olaiz for 3 months straight around the L.A. area and quickly stacked up this heater for The Shadow Conspiracy. Johnny is not scared and will make a quick snack out of that gap-to-rail you’ve been eyeing up down the street from your house, but that’s not all he can do. Get familiar with Johnny Atencio in this interview we cooked up, young ICE is just getting started…” – Ride BMX
A Day In The Life Of Mark Webb
Ever wondered what a day in the life of Mark Webb is like? Well, it’s not usually the same every day and things can get pretty crazy. Here’s a new Day In The Life video where you can follow him from some Christmas shopping to antics in the cars to a proper session at The Level skatepark. This is about a half hour long, so if you just want to see the riding, skip ahead to the 15 minute mark where you get a good mix of riding and some laughs. It looks like it a was a long and productive day to us!
Jerome Gauthier and His DIY Ramps
It’s safe to say every BMX rider has dreamed of having their own spot to ride at their home, especially this time of year when it’s cold and snowy. Unfortunately not everyone has the space or opportunity to do it. Jerome Gauthier decided to take advantage of a barn he had to build a really dialed spot for him to spend time on. Hit play and check out this rad video Soul dropped giving us a look at some of the clips he stacked during the sessions that have gone down in the place. How fun does this place look!
“Jerome Gauthier is one of the most talented BMXers that we have seen in France over the past 15 years. Nowadays he may be without sponsors but, he is still killing it on a daily basis, especially in his DIY built mini barn ramp setup. In this new edit by Antoine Sabourin you can watch him ride with intensity and smoothness on some incredibly rough transitions.” – SOUL BMX

“Dollar Bet” Credits
The final section from the “Dollar Bet” video has arrived. The credits feature a bunch of random B-Roll, crashes, antics off the bike and some of weird clips they managed to catch while out riding. Plenty of laughs and moments asking yourself “what the hell?”. Take a look!
