Real City Spin 2015 Highlights + 2016 Flyer

April 10, 2016

Jean William Prevost hit us up with a link to a video from last years Real City Spin flatland contest that went down in Montreal last summer. This video documents everything from the build out, to the pre-jam session, qualifiers, finals and more. The contest looks like it was amazing and some incredible flatland riding went down. This is one video that’s well worth a watch. After you check that out, you can check out the flyer for the 2016 Real City Spin contest that’s going down August 27th and 28th in Montreal this year!

Jason Phelan – Awesome Fast Dunkeld Enduro

April 10, 2016

We don’t usually post up much in the mountain bike department just because that’s not what this website is about, but every now and then we will still post something that’s pretty rad. It seems like more and more BMX riders are starting to get stoked on the bigger bikes. Ryan Nyquist, Drew Bezanson and now it looks like Jason Phelan is taking a liking to it, too. Here’s a video he put together from a little downhill action he caught recently. I’d imagine it’s pretty nice having GT Bicycles as a sponsor when you’re interested in trying out something a little different.

“Im getting into mountain biking big time these days. In my final days still on my GT Zaskar hardtail I went to a section of the scottish enduro series the awrsome fast Dunkeld enduro track and well somehow survived. It was amazing and I can’t wait to come back on my full suspension the GT Force X when I get it. Peat and doug are the lead riders.”

Keep It Rolling – Rolling April 1st

April 10, 2016

The Keep It Rolling crew tend to keep things less than serious, as well. They just sent over a pretty raw cut of footage they collected while cruising around Salem, Virginia. This has a few spots, quite a bit of random footage and a few solid clips. If you are looking for something a little less serious, take a peek.

Mike Vitatoe – An iPhone Edit?

April 9, 2016

Here’s a new one that The Daily Grind‘s own Mike Vitatoe whipped up on his iPhone from riding clips he has been collecting, and a few guest clips from some friends. We’re quickly becoming bigger and bigger fans of Mike with each video that he pops up in. This one is packed full of lines, grinds, nose balance and some real unique spots. Hit play and enjoy!

“Decided to save up some clips that I would normally use for the gram and put them in a edit. Boredom I guess. Filmed for a couple of weeks, got some weird B-Roll, and put them all together. Enjoy!”

One Day with Irek Rizaev In Krasnodar

April 9, 2016

Here’s a little bit of a webisode with Irek Rizaev for you to check out. I say it’s a little bit of a webisode because it has a lot more editing involved that your typical webisode. However, this does follow Irek through a full day of riding, with a bunch of extra footage where we have no idea they’re saying… Either way, if you’re just here for the riding, you won’t be disappointed. Take a peek.

Scotty Cranmer – The New York Trip

April 8, 2016

Another day, another video from Scotty Cranmer! This time around we get a look at what went down during a trip to New York that Scotty and the rest of the crew for the Vans 50 year anniversary party. Hit play for some laughs from the drive, a look at the party and some of the riding they caught during the visit. Looks like it was a good weekend to us!

“We jumped in my truck and drove up to Brooklyn, NY for my sponsor Vans 50th Birthday Party! Cory Berglar, Matty Cranmer, and Big Boy tagged along and from the second we drove away from home the laughs began! Cory was cracking jokes all over the place and he also had a serious toothache but that didn’t slow him down at all! We got to NYC and walked rode the streets to see what we could ride! We then went to the party where NAS took the stage! The next morning we got on our bikes and headed out to the House Of Vans to ride but the skatepark was still set up for the party so we had to hit the streets to find other stuff to ride! We then our bad luck continued as we accidentally broke into a construction site looking for the williamsburgh bridge pump track and got kicked out by a worker and threatened with a fine! We then finished off the trip with a session on this awesome wall ride! We had a blast and i can’t wait to do more trips like this!”

Build Your Own Fun

April 8, 2016

It’s pretty wild what you can do with a few bags of cement, plywood and a bunch of broken up concrete chunks and rocks. Check out this crazy DIY spot that Nathan Sykes, Evan Lane and Matt Cordova recently built out in this old abandoned ditch spot in California. This video Ride BMX starts out giving you a look into the project, followed by riding from those guys, along with Keith Treanor and Larry Edgar! Definitely a video worth giving a watch!

“D.I.Y. Do it yourself. More like D.I.W.F. Do it with friends. That’s what this whole project was about. We wanted to build something of our own. And well, we didn’t exactly know what we were doing, but that’s what made it fun! Life is about making memories with the people that you surround

yourself with and being able to create your own excitement. Building this quarter was more work than we had all imagined, but in the end it was well worth it. Go out and build your own fun!” — Nathan Sykes
