The latest BMX Videos, Products and News!
We don’t see too many BMX videos from Tasmania, but Mark Freeman keeps them coming. Here’s his latest from his DIY backyard ramp setup, quite possibly the smallest dirt jump ever and his local skatepark. This has a real good mix of tricks including some real stretched out supermans. Check it!

We’re not quite sure how Scotty Cranmer has time to ride while producing all these videos lately, but we’re not complaining! Here’s another round of Add On for your viewing pleasure from the Incline Club! Big Boy definitely makes things in this one real interesting.
“In our 2nd game of add on we all met at The Incline Club Skatepark for an after hour session. We tried to go to another skatepark but it snowed in NJ again.. But the crew rolled up including Matty Cranmer, Vinny Mannino, Brooklyn, and the Big Boy! We started the game with Big Boy and he decided to go on a power trip and set a flair on the 10ft quarter for the very first trick! That immediately took out almost everyone! So we decided to do a 2nd round and try to see how far we could go and we got to the 12th trick! After the game Matty and Big played the rolls of Connor Mcgregor and Nate Diaz and had a grappling match in the skatepark! A lot of laughs in this! ”
Eki Vainikka has been doing it for 10 years now for Signature BMX! To celebrate, he has this brand new BMX video packed full of gold from some skatepark sessions! Eki has a buttery smooth style and keeps things interesting with a good mix of tricks from start to finish. Definitely a rad video!
We don’t see a ton of footage from vert ramps unless the X-Games are going on or somebody is having a session at Woodward. But, that doesn’t mean it’s dead by any means. Here’s a few of vert’s finest having a super good session on Tony Hawk’s private vert ramp! So good.
“While you may not experience it every single day, vert riding is alive and well in 2016. And, believe it or not, it doesn’t just go down at corporate contests and random demos. While it’s not limited to just these three, Zack Warden, Simon Tabron, and Mykel Larrin ride vert multiple times a week simply for the love of the big U-shaped ramp. These guys continue to push themselves and progress regularly, all while having a damn good time. We caught up with the guys to take a look into one of these sessions and check out the madness firsthand. Believe it or not, this all went down on a weekday morning.
Big thanks to Tony Hawk for welcoming us into his lair and consistently producing fun video games. Cheers, Birdman!

If you saw one or all the teasers dropping online this past week for Sergio Layos‘ new Fly Bikes video, you were probably anxiously waiting for today all week. Now the video is hear and damn is it good! Sergio Layos brings his classic speed and style to everything he touches and this BMX video came out so good. Absolute MUST SEE.
“It must be the upbringing, the culture, the vibe or just a different overall outlook on life and riding, but somehow the riders that Spain breeds have shaped a style that others aspire to emulate. Sergio Layos is at the forefront of this with unique simplicity, speed and being almost ‘as one’ with the bike’s synergy, epitomising this generations’ riders and those that came before him with his pure ‘Suave estilo’.
“I’m super stoked with the result of this, my latest Flybikes video, filmed by Hugo Almeida. Hugo and I have been friends since the early contest days in Portugal and it’s amazing to be able to work with him. Stefan Lantschner and Courage Adams were also on hand to help film, riding some amazing terrain in Catalonia where we spent a few days on some of my favourite spots in the country. Included are also clips from Malaga where I ran into Hugo by accident! The whole video was filmed in less than a week and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Hope you guys like it as much as I do.” – Sergio Layos

Plus, they’ve been doing a lot to throw huge events and really support BMX with that extra money that’s made from doing things the way they do it now.
