Fit Bike Co. – Holla Wood

June 7, 2016

Fit Bike Co. coming through with a dialed ne BMX video featuring their whole crew getting down on spots around Hollywood. As expected with a heavy squad like this, there was plenty of amazing riding on all the spots they came across. Hit play and take it all in!

“It had been a minute since we had the PRO squad in one spot, so we decided to get the dudes together to shoot the shit and mob around LA for a few days in May.

Since this sort of thing doesn’t happen all the time, we enlisted Jeff Z. to shoot some stills and Scott Marceau to make moving pictures.

We weren’t trying to invite anybody to “Bangerville” with this one, but a few days in Hollyweird with the boys went down a treat. The takeaway from our pow wow was that we should pow wow more often, which means the FIT van may be showing up at spots near you soon – so keep ’em peeled.

Shout out to Mr. Marceau for capturing the crew!

Riders: Jordan Hango, Morgan Long, Brandon Begin, Matt Nordstrom, Ben Lewis, Shawn McIntosh, Brian Foster, Van Homan, Tom Dugan, Justin Spriet and Ethan Corriere.

Filmed/Edited by: Scott Marceau

Music: “Morgan” by the Cloud Nothings”

X Games 2016 – Dave Mirra Best Trick Highlights

June 7, 2016

After the X Games Park Finals wrapped up, the Dave Mirra Best Trick contest went down and some of the top riders from the finals had the chance to throw down. Here’s a look at the madness that went down, along with the tribute to Dave after things wrapped up!

“After the park event this year, X Games decided to honor the late Dave Mirra the best way they could: Bring his family out, have a moment of silence, and then let eight dudes loose on the course for 15 minutes. Best trick takes all. In the end, Kyle Baldock took the win with a wild 720 double tailwhip, but damn, that 540 triple bar that Varga did was just as crazy in my opinion.

Rest in peace, Dave.”

Vans “Illustrated” Crashes Trailer

June 7, 2016

There’s no denying that the Vans crew went all in for the “Illustrated” video, so you better believe that it didn’t go perfectly smooth getting there. Above is a look at some of the crashes the team took, along with some frustration, while filming for the video. This one will definitely leave you cringing from some of the crashes.

“The Vans BMX Team is a group of creative individuals who express themselves by constantly pushing the boundaries of what can be done on two wheels. In doing so, each rider illustrates their own artistic approach and style on the many canvases of concrete, dirt, and wood. Even after they are done riding their marks can still be seen in what has been left behind; from the tire tracks in the dirt to the marks on the walls, rails and ledges. Illustrated, a Vans BMX video available to download now.”
