Matthias Dandois – BMX Pit Stop Tire Change

April 10, 2016

When it comes to flatland, some worn out tires aren’t going to do you any favors. Sometimes you just need to swap out a tire or wheel to make sure you can finish your combo you’re working on. Here’s a video we spotted on Flat Matters of Matthias Dandois showing you how his pit crew get tire changes done in just a few seconds.

“Changing a BMX wheel while doing an upside down manual was not an easy task but we pulled it off after a few crazy crash. Featuring Matthias Dandois, Alex Jumelin and Quentin Pelorson. Filmed by Jeremy Brosset”

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.

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!”
