Let’s Save Spirit Skatepark!

February 3, 2016

Our friend out East, Chris Saunders, hit us with some news today that his local skatepark, the Spirit Skatepark in Hopkinton, New Hampshire, which so happened to be a local park for Aaron Smith, Lee Hopkins and Josh Heino over the years is on the verge of being shut down if they can’t get repairs made. There’s a GoFundMe page setup with a goal of $15,000 that needs to be raised! If you have a few bucks to spare or if you could just pass the link along, that would be huge! Check out the GoFundMe Page here to get the full details and donate!

Note: The photo above was taken years ago… It’s in pretty tough shape now.

Scotty Cranmer – Game of Add On

February 3, 2016

If you caught the video Scotty Cranmer dropped the other day talking about his signature shoe from Vans, you might have heard him talk about heading to the Incline Club to film a Game of Add On. Today, we get a look at what went down. Essentially it’s a extensive game of B-I-K-E that makes things real interesting. Take a look!

“We play a game of BMX Add On at my skatepark The Incline Club! The whole crew was there and this was the first time we have ever filmed this kind of Game so we were all excited to ride! The game is like a memory/ riding game where you have to remember the order of the tricks and it gets pretty hard in the later rounds! Trey Jones was on fire during the whole game and made it to the finals! But I won’t tell you who he was against! This is a fun game that anyone can play with their friends at the local skatepark!”

Almost “Nearly 4K” – David Grant

February 3, 2016

Here’s a little more leftover footage from the Nearly 4K DVD that’s out now! This time around we get a look at a bunch of footage that didn’t quite make the cut for David Grant‘s section. Big grinds, rough crashes and some good laughs!

Almost “Nearly 4K” – Part One

Almost “Nearly 4K” – Part 2: Alex Donnachie & Friends

Almost “Nearly 4K” – Part 3: Jason Phelan

Almost “Nearly 4K” – Part 4: James Chalmers

“Last week we told you that we had just released the final section in the Almost Nearly 4K series. Well… we lied. David Grant produced one hell of a section in Nearly 4K and we’ve got some extras / crashes / outtakes from that. If you’ve never met David before you’ll get a nice look at some of his superultramegaweird quirks and if you have, don’t worry, there’s some big feebles and giant out ledges to satisfy. Wait until you see DBG’s full section in 4K, you’ll probably shit your pants… If you missed any of the Almost Nearly videos make sure you check back on DIG to watch them, and then get a hold of the full DVD here – http://nearlybmx.bigcartel.com” – DIG

Role Crew In Cinzas Trailer

February 3, 2016

The Role Crew down in Brazil hit us with a link to the trailer for their “Cinzas” full-length BMX video that will be dropping next month! This 5 minute trailer gives us a taste of what’s to come and a look at who all will have footage in the video. Based off this, it’s looking like it should be a real solid video. Get stoked.

“Role Crew in: Cinzas Trailer – Role Crew is a BMX Crew from São Paulo. “Cinzas” is a Brazilian BMX film which depicts the evolution of the sport in different regions of the country, shows the lifestyle of those who ride mainly on the streets with psychedelic traits and a small references to Greys aliens to give a different touch and out of sameness, boarding this ship you too!!!”

Weird Brand – 9th Wonder

February 3, 2016

It looks like Tyrone Williams, Andy Gregory, Ikeem Allen and Jeff Crosley have fired up a new brand called “Weird Brand” and they’re kicking things off with this rad BMX video from some of the sessions they have been catching in New York City and Jamaica lately. These are two very different places, so you get some diverse spots and great riding. All in all, it’s a real good watch and we’re sure there will be plenty more to come from these guys.

Aaron Simone VS The Backflip

February 2, 2016

Jay Dalton caught up with Aaron Simone at their local skatepark because Aaron decided it was time to send a few backflips. We’ve seen snow come into play for BMX before, but not too many people have used snow as their foam pit for trying to figure out how to huck a backflip out of a cement bowl. Either way, Aaron put in some work for this with a shovel and on his bike to get it done… Check out how things went down in the BMX video above!
