It’s crazy how big the crowds are at the FISE contests are. Here’s some highlights from the BMX and skate guys. There’s ramps, dirt and some street action to take in. It looks like the massive crowd was treated to some damn good riding. This is just over 2 minutes of banger after banger. Check it!

Scotty Cranmer – Trey Jones Is Back and Doing Barspins
Scotty Cranmer dropped a new webisode from a parking lot session that he caught with Trey Jones, Big Boy, Matty Cranmer and Cory Berglar. Despite only having a little manual pad out, they ended up with a bunch of clips. After that, they decided to roll over to the race track for some fun, too.
“Trey Jones is back in Nj for a whole week and we are planning on riding every single day! I know there are a lot of trey Jones fans on the channel and to be honest i am a huge fan of his riding also! My back is just getting better and we all met up at my bakeshop to hang out and get some riding in! We started riding a flat plank of wood and the session got serious! everyone started throwing down and having an awesome time and Big Boy was killing it! He did so many awesome tricks with his freecoaster! Then we went up to the BMX track and got a few laps in and it was a blast!”

The Curious Riding of Andy Maguire and Mario Alonso
Andy Maguire decided to make your Saturday awesome by dropping this new split featuring him and Mario Alonso putting in some work out in the streets. This BMX video is packed with a good mix of tricks and spots keeping things interesting from start to finish. You won’t be disappointed.
“I feel like Mario and I have completely different styles, but consistently try to incorporate the element of surprise into our riding. Whether it be riding a spot in a strange way, doing a weird trick, modifying (or not modifying) a spot, or just riding away from something where the viewer is most likely thinking “That guy did that?”, our bikes have given us a means to let the underdog within us come out. Both of us got new bikes around the same time, so it only seemed fitting to cut loose the rest of the footage I had on my hard drive of our old whips. We are also driving a cross country tour of the US from July 9 – August 14th if anyone wants to meet up and ride; chances are, we’ll be coming to a city near you! Thanks for watching.

2015 Apple Creek Trails Jam
2015 Apple Creek Trail Jam from Brant Moore on Vimeo.
It always blows our mind how a video can end up popping up a year later. With the 2016 Apple Creek Trails jam coming up, Brant Moore decided it was time to whip up the clips that were filmed at last years jam. That’s okay since you could have told us this one was filmed last week and we would have believed it since trails footage never seems to go out of style. Check it!
“A year later, here is the 2015 Apple Creek Trail Jam video! It’s always a great time at the trails.
This years jam is July 23rd! Be there!
Huge shoutout to Brenden Wargo and Zakk Sheehan for filming this!!!

The Best Turndowns In BMX?
Sometimes when I look for some older videos that popped up in the past the might have been forgotten, we come across some gems that we completely forgot about. Above is a video came out some time around 2010 during the Baco Jam at 4Seasons Skatepark in Milwaukee when I was working for DIG. The concept was pretty straight forward… Walk up to somebody, point the camera in their face and ask a question on the spot. Although this video is this old, it’s pretty awesome how relevant the answers still are. It was originally on MPORA and DIG but it doesn’t appear to be “online” anymore, so I decided to get the video back and upload it here. There’s a lot of legends and riders that at the time weren’t pro, but are pro now like Reed Stark. Funny story, there’s a few clips where my voice went to hell… Literally lost it 100% at this contest and ended up communicating by typing text into my flip phone, haha. Good memories from this find.
Rest in Peace, Dom Trovato, who also makes an appearance in this one.
Original caption from the video below…
“With Baco in Milwaukee going down, there were more than enough people on hand to ask the golden question – “Who has the best turndowns in BMX…. Ever?” The consensus was for one man… but there are a hundred names that still come to mind.
Filmed on a Canon T1i

Sorry for the out of focus shots. It was a “surprise” question to everyone so there wasn’t time to focus.

Hacksaw – Gray Boys and Sun Boys
The Hacksaw crew coming through with a new mix of BMX and skate footage from the streets of Rochester, New York for your viewing pleasure. This video has a pretty raw feel to it with a laid back vibe, plenty of spots and solid riding to take in. Check it out!
“A couple months of clips mostly in chronological order. first song was picked at random second song is Rochesters Attic Abasement. Cory Orourke made that cool art thing, it’s on a tee shirt you can buy. Other than that it’s just gray boys and sun boys doing what we do. Oh yeah the intro is from kate who wanted to make a movie intro for this. HCKSW.”

Scotty Cranmer – Close Call at the Trails
It looks like Scotty Cranmer is back after taking a few weeks off after breaking his back at the X Games. To celebrate, the crew decided to head to some local trails spot for a day of riding. I’m sure some of the hard core trails guys are going to be pissed they didn’t see any shovels come out, but that’s okay. There is some solid riding and good times to take in!
“We drove over to this BMX dirt jump spot that I haven’t been to in years! It’s called Lobster John’s and to our surprise the trails were still in rideable condition! This is the first day back on my BMX since I broke my back and it felt so awesome to finally ride again but I still have to be careful and take my time! The whole crew came out and the crazy tricks started happening straight away! The Go Pro broke off Vinny’s helmet on his 2nd run! Big Boy did his first trick on a dirt jump! Dom Simoncini crashed and got dirty and we ended the session with an insane crash when Vinny tried a 360 tail whip over the last jump! He almost died! he got up and stomped the trick out the very next go!”
