Scotty Cranmer – Game of W-H-I-P

June 19, 2016

If you love tailwhips, this is the BMX video for you! Scotty Cranmer uploaded this Game of B-I-K-E, but instead of BIKE, they’re playing WHIP because every trick done must include a tailwhip! Hit play to watch Cory Berglar, Mike Fede and Brooklyn go at it to see who the tailwhip champ is. This gets pretty heated, so take a look!

“The Boy’s had an insane grudge match game going and they were talking all sorts of trash so we had to get to the skatepark and settle this once and for all! Cory Berglar, Mike Fede, and BK all day decided to have a game of Whip! It’s a game of bike but you can only do tail whip tricks! The boys came out swinging and everyone brought there A game. There were some wild crashes and there were also some amazing tricks pulled but only 1 person walked away as the whip champion!”

Mat Hoffman – Secret Ninja Big Air Ramp GoPro Edit

June 17, 2016

Mat Hoffman reminding everyone that he has not given up on pushing his riding to the highest levels he has ever gone.

In a world of GoPro POV videos from nibbler jibbler street videos and skatepark sessions, it’s always rad to see something really crazy from somebody’s point of view. Last year we caught up with Mat Hoffman for an interview where we first found out about the massive ramp that Danny Way had built and Mat was riding, and calling the Secret Ninja Big Air Ramp. Since that day we’ve been anxiously waiting to see the footage from it. Thanks to X Games, we’ve been seeing some of the footage over the course of the week. Below you can find links to the 3 videos they released.

Mat Hoffman – The Quest For High Air

Danny Way – The Quest For High Air

The Quest For High Air – Reflections

We figured that was all the footage from it… Then this morning we woke up to an email from the Condor himself with a link to a video he put together from some of the GoPro footage he collected during his sessions. This has footage from some of the first runs all the way up until the crash that obliterated his collarbone. Needless to say, after watching this we’re still completely blown away by just how big Mat has gone! This is an absolute MUST SEE. The big brother of the Secret Ninja Ramp is an absolute monster of a ramp.

WATCH: More Mat Hoffman Videos!

“Here is my DIY edit I made riding Danny’s ramp. No interviews, I used a POV and then placed a few unmanned GoPro’s around and let them shoot continuously while I rode. This is my original edit I’ve been holding onto for about a year. It’s not the best quality; I just shot it to document the ride, since I went out their solo. Then Stew and Alyssa added to it for the recent posts on X Games, so I’ve kept this one out of sight until now.

The Village BMX Rail Jam Highlights

June 17, 2016

Here’s a rad video that was put together from the rail / box jam that The Village threw . Most of the session went on Shadow Coffin, but there were a few Subrosa Street Rail clips for good measure, plus a couple crazy clips from inside the park. Take a peek!

“We were invited to stack a few Rail Jam clips for a highlights edit for the crew @ The Village park & supply located at 882 Beaudesert Rd, Brisbane QLD, Australia 4108 on the 6th of march 2016. the jam went off with a bang, with a solid crew turning out to session the coffin box and the SUBROSA BMX rail WITH SOME CRAZY bangers getting thrown down by everyone there!

Massive shout out to Chris Courtenay for holding the jam, it was a sick day & if you couldn’t make this one then make sure you get there for the next event.

Product: Subrosa – Brigade Lock

June 17, 2016

It looks like Subrosa have a new addition to their War on Theft line for those of you who are looking for a heavy-duty, high quality bike lock that is going to do more than slow down a thief from stealing that bike of yours! The new Brigade lock is a 45″ long lock with a hardened steel square chain link design that is resistant against bolt cutters and a hardened steel body that resists cutting, sawing and prying. You can also find a crack resistant plastic body, a durable nylon cover over the chain to help resist paint damage and wear on your bike.

If you’re worried that the lock will have a similar key, then you’ll be happy to know that the disc lock barrel has a minimum of 1,400 different key combinations to ensure that it won’t get picked easily.

The beefy Brigade lock will be hitting BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Subrosa worldwide in July! No word on price, but it’ll be cheaper than a new bike, right?
