Merritt‘s connect, Ethan Cole spent the past month or so out cruising spots and stacking clips for his latest BMX video. Here’s a look at what he got into on all the ledges and rails he came across! This is a real solid video that is worth a look!
Quest BMX – Bon Voyage 2016
Here’s one that Quest BMX sent through featuring a bunch of their team riders Instagram clips from the past year all packed into one dialed video. If you’re looking for some flatland goodness, this is definitely worth a look!
“Bon voyage a phrase said to people who are going away, meaning “I hope you have a safe and enjoyable journey”. Bon Voyage takes clips from our team’s Instagram pages. We hope you enjoy these clips from throughout the past year. We look forward to an even better 2017!

Stranger Trip to Las Vegas
Here’s a short but sweet video from some time some of the Stranger spent in Las Vegas recently. This is a pretty short one, so we would imagine they didn’t spend much more than a day or two our cruising spots. Even though it’s short, there is plenty of rad clips to take in. Hit play and enjoy!

Free Billy Perry
The other day Billy Perry posted up a video from a little trespassing action him and a few others did to ride a massive water park. The video ended up going viral and it’s currently sitting at over 5 million views. It clearly caught a lot of peoples attention. Unfortunately, Billy’s video also landed him in some trouble and it would appear all hell has broken loose after seeing some of the local news stories that came out from it since he was pretty easy to identify. It would appear Billy has become public enemy number 1 out in New York and we heard rumors he could be hit with some hefty fines because of it. No, he hasn’t been arrested, but there’s no doubt he’s had to talk to a few cops and other people in the past few days. Up top is one of the news stories and here is another news story that really makes it sound like he’s some sort of monster, haha. We loved some of the ways the news described the videos and Billy’s “crew” making this come off like they held the place up at gun point or something. Must be a pretty slow news day for this much attention, haha. On the flip side, maybe the owners of the water park need to thank Billy for getting millions of eyes on his water park… I mean, I definitely would go to that place in the summer.
If these things can’t hold a couple of BMX riders, why are they able to hold a couple thousand gallons of water?
You can watch the video from the session at the water park here.
On another note, the news people calling out Billy and his “crew” and “gang” made us think of these savages.
Jeff Crawn – Beauty is Everywhere
Here’s one we dropped the ball on. The other day we checked out this video Kenan Harkin put out on his Youtube channel and we realized the post never actually got posted until now. Kenan caught up with BMX legend Jeff Crawn who was a rider that was definitely making some serious waves back in the day before he unfortunately ended up paralyzed after his forks had snapped in 1993. Kenan recently made a trip out to where Jeff is living these days to take a look at his crazy pond that he has turtles and fish in, talk about and take a look at his history in BMX and then we learn about his photography work that he took up after he had everything taken from him from the crash. This is amazing to watch and it’s a really good reminder of just why it’s so important to keep your bike dialed and be aware of your bike. Unfortunately when Jeff’s accident happened, quality of bikes were NOT anything like they are today. It’s a bummer, but it’s good to see Jef still finding something that keeps him progressing and motivated!
Jake Seeley – Snow Rail Session
If you’re in the northern hemisphere, there’s no doubt that you’re starting to miss summer with the colder temperatures and shorter days. Jake Seeley decided that he wasn’t going to let the snow keep him from getting a session in on a rail that he spotted. Here’s a quick video that should get you in the holiday spirit giving you a look at what he got into during his session. What we want to know is how many takes this took? Snow and plastic pedals are not a good combo!
Woodward East – Dan Foley: 3 Lines
Woodward East dropped this new video featuring Dan Foley getting a few lines in all over the camp. Although this is only three lines, it still ends up being about two minutes of footage! Hit play and take a ride! Dan brings a ton of style as always.
