Scotty Cranmer – Blindfold BMX Challenge

October 11, 2016

Have you ever tried to ride your bike blindfolded? It’s not easy and it takes all your other senses to keep you upright on two wheels. Now, riding is tricky, but imagine going through an obstacle course! Scotty Cranmer and crew decided to give it a go and see who could do the course the fastest.Hit play and find out how this all went down!

“Do you have a friend that you trust? Would you trust them enough to give you directions while you rode through a sketchy maze with obstacles while riding a BMX bike blindfolded?? Well we do and his name is Cory “Puppy Arms” Berglar! We built this maze at my bike shop and put a jump into it and a jump out of it along with a random deep pothole filled with water and 6 tight turns! The result was an INSANE race that turned into an epic ending! After the event I decided to try and tail whip the rainbow kicker with the help of everyone’s favorite Englishman Ronnie Surridge! After a few scary crashes I was able to ride away!”

Dan Foley – Cruise Control: DDASC

October 11, 2016

We have been really stoked on the steady flow of BMX videos coming out of Dan Foley lately! Here’s his latest from a session at the DDASC park! Based off the footage it looks like he had the place to himself and that meant plenty of lines to work with! Hit play because you know this is loaded with style and great riding!

“This was a bit of an experiment. Cut some GoPro POV footage with some static tripod shots of a few runs through DDASC in Holly Springs, NC.

Overall it seemed to work out alright, but it could definitely be improved upon. Turns out, pumping through a skatepark isn’t the most stable thing for a chest mount. It also produces more wind noise than expected. Hope it’s not too distracting!

Huge thanks to DDASC. Hit up their site at www.DDASC.com for info about the park.

Filming/Editing: Dan Foley”

DETAILS: SUNDAY BIKES – EXCELSIOR BARS

“Mark Burnett’s signature frame is designed around a geometry that matches his technical East Coast riding style. It features short chain stays, a taller bottom bracket, a longer head tube, and smaller hollow dropouts with integrated chain tensioners.

Simplicity rules on the Excelsior and it’s built without u-brake hardware and Gyro tab holes. The frame’s front triangle makes use of traditional round MotoRoss style top and down tubes with proven internal gusseting.”

October 11, 2016

It looks like Verde have a new addition to their squad from California! Here’s Rocco Giuseppe‘s welcome to the team video that’s packed full of buttery smooth grinds and plenty of style. This guy is not scared to put all four of his pegs to good use on every ledge and rail he comes across! If this guy isn’t on your radar yet, he will be after you watch this! Enjoy!

““We are pleased to welcome Rocco Giuseppe to the Verde team. Tony Neyer is the man responsible for discovering Rocco last year when he visited LA with some friends. Here are some words from Neyer.”” – Will Stroud Verde TM/Filmer

“Rocco Giuseppe is one of those kids that when they ride, no matter what he is doing from big rails to the tricky ledge lines there’s nothing but sauce all over it. Swag pouring out of this kids ears on everything he touches. Rocco has been bouncing back and forth between his home town of Fresno and my house in Hollywood stackin’ for this project and we are more than happy to welcome him to the Verde team and family.” — Tony Neyer

Linwood Bosshog Monk – Welcome to Long Beach

October 11, 2016

A little while back, Linwood “Bosshog” Monk decided to move from the East Coast on out Sunny Southern California on the West Coast. It looks like he has been busy out stacking clips since his arrival and ended up coming across plenty of spots to get down on! Hit play for plenty of grinds, tire rides and more!

“My man Linwood Bosshogg Monk just moved out west from Richmond, Virginia and has quickly become a welcomed addition to the Long Beach squad. With a wrist injury shortly after getting out here, then getting his bike stolen (while he was sleeping on it) right after his wrist healed, he had a string of bad luck, but S&M helped get him rolling again and he’s since managed to conquer two beastly tire rides in Long Beach, and from what he tells me, this is just the beginning. Welcome to Long Beach Bosshogg!” – Jeff Z

“Substance At Home”

October 11, 2016

Here’s one we’ve been excited to see for a minute now. Hit play to check out the new Substance video, “Substance At Home” featuring Greg Layden, Guy Scroggie, Jack Campbell, Sam Colville, Joe Jarvis, Jonny Moffat, Si Gibb, Jonny Blaikie, Craig Sime and Shahbaz getting down on their home spots in Scotland. This video is a good mix of guys we’ve been watching for a few years now and a few new, up and comers all putting in the work. Great spots, dialed riding and some clean film work. You won’t want to pass this one up!

“It’s been a year now since the release of the ‘We Are Substance’ video and it’s crazy to see the progression of Glasgow, UK’s Substance store and it’s crew. This new project, ‘Substance At Home’ has been in the works for eight months now, and between clashing commitments with filmers, leg haematomas, eagle eyed parking wardens, and some good and bad security wallopers, it’s been a rough ride but i’m sure you’ll agree the final outcome is a winner. Some unbelievable clips from the likes of Greg Layden, Joe Jarvis, Craig Sime and more – these dudes just keep getting better and better! It always astonishes me as to how much influence a BMX shop can have on it’s local scene and Substance only reinforces that way of thinking. Don’t sleep on these young’uns – they’re the next generation.” – DIG

“All this wouldn’t have been possible without a huge help from Luc Lynch-Rice who helped to film the edit and went on to save the day and edit it with help from Lee from Ugly People.” – Si Gibb / Substance BMX
