Battles: Dan Coller VS The Roof

April 6, 2016

To say that Dan Coller went all in for his section for the Kink “Intervention” video would be an understatemnt. Dan absolutely crushed it! Above is a look at the battle he had with the gnarly grind he did off a roof. You didn’t think he pulled that first go, did you? Turns out it took more than one trip, too. Hit play and find out all about it.

““He’s not doing it for you”

Welcome to Episode 2 of our DIG Battles series. This time round we get a closer look at Dan Coller vs the Roof in Kink Intervention. Here’s what filmer Darryl Tocco had to say…

“Dan Coller flipped a switch a few years ago. Instead of pursuing what has now become the norm of outrageously technical riding, suddenly it seemed he was only interested in the scary stuff. Huge rails, grinds to flat, and now apparently, roof setups. In 2013 Dan was working on a welcome to KINK pro video, and this setup sent him packing. Dan quit while he was ahead on this round, and decided to walk away. 2 and a half years later while we were filming for Intervention, Dan decided that it was time to put this one to bed. Not long after we arrived and a few frustrating attempts later, we found ourselves drinking tall cans and laughing at the roof. Cheers, Dan.” – Darryl Tocco

Paul Langlands – The Hills: Part 2

April 6, 2016

After over a year from when The Hills: Part 1 dropped, we kind of figured that part two was scraped and we wouldn’t be seeing it surface. Well, we were pleasantly surprised when we saw that Paul Langland dropped part two online to show us what he had in mind after that painful first attempts he made. Above is the video showing you what came of the plan after things went silent for a while. It looks like the new direction worked out quite well for Paul since he drops some serious hammers in this.

After you watch part one, make sure you go back and watch The Hills: Part 1!

“Part Two of The Hills journey, natural terrain built BMX dirt jumps using only shovels and hand-tools pushing the limits of BMX dirt.

Following Part One, more ‘trial and error’ has taken place in the process of learning to progress this style of riding to where it will lead.

We weren’t quite sure what to expect when Colony sent through this new Ben Thompson video, but damn were we blown away by what we saw. Watch as Ben cooks up some unreal nose balance combos, along with a handful of other crazy tricks from fly outs to manual lines and ridiculous foot jam variations. We loved every second of this one. Check it!

“Ben Thompson resides in Townsville, QLD and spends his time coming up with some super creative moves at his local park. Check his new video for some prime examples. Thanks to Bicycle Centre Townsville for helping him out with product.

April 5, 2016

Tyler Brown hit us with a link to his latest BMX video from some of the street sessions he has been catching over the past few months in Plymouth over in the U.K! Tyler made it a point to pedal to every spot for this one, so he definitely earned it, or happens to have a lot of places to catch a session. Either way, it turned out solid. Take a look.
