“LFS2” – Mikey “Smallfry” Almodovar Section

July 7, 2016

It’s always rad when a filmer for a DVD can also fire out one of the best sections in the entire video. Mikey Almodovar was the driving force behind the 2nd LFS video, and still managed to get in front of the lens to stack clip after clip of goodness. Mikey is a grind technician, so you know he put all four pegs, along with his pedals and crank arms to good use for this one, along with some big gaps, drops and wallrides.. Check it!

“Not only is Mikey Almodovar aka Smallfry the main filmer and editor for the crew, he also kills the game with his eye for unique set ups and his ability to combine technical skill with burly riding. Raw, creative, and just overall wild.. don’t sleep on this section.” – Steven Jones

Product: Villa Road – Villacase iPhone Case

July 7, 2016

There’s something about BMX riders that bring out the innovation to solve some interesting problems. We’ve found that especially in the multi-tool department over the years. However, the Villa Road crew decided to find a different use for the classic 6mm allen key… They’ve created an iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S case that uses a 6mm allen key as an adjustable stand and even a filming handle (handle included). Hit that play button. If you have an iPhone and don’t want one of these after you watch the video, then you’re nuts. Plus, it’s only £15.99 direct from the Villa Road Webstore.

July 7, 2016

You cannot go wrong with some fresh Dan Norvell footage! Here’s 12 fresh clips courtesy of DIG where Dan goes to work on street spots, trails and a pool. As expected, Dan brings some really gnarly riding to the table and makes it look like it’s easy. Take a look at what went down!

“Our new series A DIG Dozen starts off with Southern California’s Dan Norvell who shows that he’s more than capable of riding whatever is around to shred, whether it be a drained pool, sizable set of trails, or rooftop street spot.
