“Blueprint” – John Bristol & Andy Merrall Section

November 10, 2016

We have been really stoked to see all of the parts from the “Blueprint” video popping up online. This BMX video came out back in 2001 and it’s a great flash back to a time when riders got down on everything and it wasn’t as dominated by street. Here’s is John Bristol and Andy Merrall‘s section that is packed full of goodness from skateparks, vert ramps, trails spots and some street. This has a great mix of tricks and styles keeping things interesting from start to finish. Enjoy!

“Bristol & Andy both are both all terrain beasts. Watch as they hold it down on whatever they want. Andy Goes for a beast of a rail hop in here too!” – Snaktebite BMX
