Act Like You Know – Summer 2016 Promo

July 25, 2016

It has been a little while since we’ve seen a BMX video out of the Act Like You Know crew, but that’s because they have been busy stacking clips for their next full-length video “Fed Up With The Bullshit“. Here’s a short but sweet promo featuring Bobby Simmons, Yazan Odeh, Kyle Murway, Scotty Wemmer, Frankie Lang, Brandon Galosi, Jake Frost, Damian Racut, Tommy Gunn and Torey Kish all putting in some work on the streets. Expect good things when this DVD drops!

“The ALYK Crew are back, forever doing it their own way, without compromise for the trends of today. “None of us do this in hope of Instagram followers, a paycheck, or a ring at a Monster Energy jam. It’s pure personal satisfaction. And we won’t stop until we can’t physically ride anymore.” The best has been stashed away for their upcoming ‘Fed Up With The Bullshit’ DVD, so this taste will have to be enough to hold you over for now.

Red Bull – Drew Bezanson “The Learning Curve” Episode 3

July 25, 2016

The 3rd episode of Drew Bezanson‘s “The Learning Curve” series from Red Bull gives us a look at Drew putting in some work at Joyride 150 to learn some of the tricks on the bigger bike, along with some insight as Drew deals with being sidelined from injury for the first time thanks to a crash at his first contest. Nobody said this was going to be easy…

“On this week’s episode of The Learning Curve, we find Drew Bezanson putting in time at the Joyride 150 bike park warehouse, near Toronto, in Canada. With the mercy of a foam pit, Drew hucks his way to perfection as he prepares for competitive action.”

“Using the foam pit is key because of how fast I have to learn this stuff. If I was going to do it the old-fashioned way, on a regular jump, we probably wouldn’t be filming right now!”

““#BMXDAY 2016 – Johannesburg

As we rolled up to Museum Africa it was pretty clear we were going to have a huge crew. Already at 10am there was a posse 50 deep playing game of bike
and entertaining themselves on the various jibs the meet up spot had to offer. It’s always cool coming up to Joburg and meeting so many new faces and all the different styles that come with it.

While we waited for some of the notorious late risers to arrive, Rico from the Evals BMX Shop broke out the flat rail and his gnarly wooden kicker that looked like something out of Hot Rod.
I’ve never seen so many tricks go down on a flat rail in such a short space of time! Standouts in my mind were Darren Oatley’s switch pegs whip, Hann Jansens backwards crook wizardry and Nathi’s backwards manual combos.
Paul Soderlund managed to stick a super long manual line while dodging 100 riders and pedestrians just in time for a quick group shot before we hit the streets with the mob.

From that point on, the whole day pretty much turned into a blur of cranking around town, blocking traffic, incidents with the cops, handing out a large amount of tubes after riding a sketchy glass ridden bank under the highway followed by witnessing Murray Loubser and Jason Hood lay down two bangers on a crazy setup which can only be illustrated in the gallery and video.

Just when everyone thought the day was over, someone suggested a damn long jump contest! While I’d never openly condone such a thing because of them being notoriously sketchy and dangerous.
There were more than a few willing candidates ready to send themselves off the kicker to their doom. I swear if some of these kids moms saw what was going on their bikes would be up for sale the next day.
Luckily no one got seriously injured, Sean Fritz definitely has a damn guardian angel or something. After taking a massive slam (Watch video) he took home a tough as nails package from Fox Head South Africa earning himself a new helmet, which was quite fitting.

Huge shout out to everyone that made it out this year, the Botswana crew and the brands that got involved. Monster Energy, Vans ZA, Evals BMX, Hunter BMX, 1933 Classic Tattoos and Fox Head South Africa.
Special mention goes out to Hann Jansen for all the help leading the pack to spots. Kevin Schnider and Grant Maclachlan for handling the visuals. We hope jams like this inspire you to continue pushing and remind you that we’re all part of one big family! #BMXDAY has become a global success! #Bepartofit”” – Colin Loudon
