April 21, 2016

The LFS crew have released Mikey Almodovar‘s leftover footage that was filmed while stacking clips for the “LFS 2” video! Although these clips didn’t make the cut for the actual video, there’s no doubt that these are some damn good clips. Watch as Smallfry puts a hurting on every street spot he came across out on the east coast.

“LFS2 Leftovers:
When not filming and editing the LFS content, Smallfry can be seen on the other side of the lens. Here’s the clips that didn’t make it in his section.

Sebastian Anton – Eurozone

April 21, 2016

Sebastian Anton coming through with some fresh heat from the streets of Frankfurt, Germany where he put all four of his pegs to heavy use with technical grind combos and some serious rail slaying. Add in plenty of spins and bike control and you have a video you won’t want to pass up. Take a look.

“f you’ve seen the new Still United DVD then you will know how good Sebastian Anton is but now we’ve got some more for you.

Snakebite – BMX Handlebars Through The Years

April 21, 2016

One reason we really like Snakebite is because of the incredible amount of history knowledge that website drops on the regular. Today, they dropped a new feature taking a look at some of the crazy BMX bars that were released before most of us reading this ever started riding. If you think bars these days look wonky with their 10″+ rises and crazy widths, you haven’t seen anything yet. Head over to the Skatebite website and check this one out — BMX Handlebars Through The Years

Too Many Skateparks

April 21, 2016

We’re not too sure if it’s possible to have “too many skateparks”, but maybe we’re taking the title out of context. Either way, Lucas Rusinak dropped this mix of footage he collected from a handful of skateparks along the east coast, with a bunch of street clips and even a few clips from a trip down south for good measure. This has a good mix of tricks and styles, so take a look and enjoy!

“Happy to say I’ve been riding a ton again with a dope crew, some old friends and some new. This edit is the result of me hoarding every GoPro clip (all clips are filmed on a GoPro) we got for probably over a year now. Clips from all over the boroughs, Jersey, and even a bit of New Orleans.
Riders are myself, Alex Avilla, Steve and Charlie Quigley, Marc Kachtan, Tom Lagressa, Andrew Paino and Nick Ponterio.
Song is West Coast by FIDLAR
Expect to see more edits this year. Or don’t, I don’t care.”
