Empire BMX – “This Is The Way We Ball” with Aaron Ross and Tom Dugan

January 7, 2016

What happens when you give the keys of a Lamborghini to Aaron Ross and Tom Dugan for a day? Well, this BMX video from Empire BMX will give you a good idea. A while back, Aaron’s friend hooked him up with the car for a day to do whatever they wanted… Needless to say, they pushed the limits on what would probably make the owner of that car cry, haha. Check it out!

“2 years ago a dude was starting a luxury rental car place in Austin Texas and he let a good friend of mine (@365thingsaustin) borrow this car for a day to advertise about it… She hooked me up with the guy to borrow the Lambo for 24 hours and we made the most of it. We pretty much drove that car for 20 hours straight and had so much fun. We did a 180mph (not a safe idea) didn’t get any tickets and @tommydugan jumped over the car over and over. @devonhutchins filmed the whole day and sat on the footage for the last few years not knowing what to do with it so he finally put it all together and here’s the edit.”

“Roc Bottom” – Phil Demattia & Tony Hamlin

January 7, 2016

So stoked on this one! Phil Demattia and Tony Hamlin‘s section from the “Roc Bottom” BMX video is now online. Between both of these guys getting crazy on the grinds and Phil mixing in some brakes to create some unique riding, you have one hell of a video you can’t pass up! Check it!

“DIG proudly presents the next Roc Bottom section featuring two of Rochester’s finest Phil Demattia and Tony Hamlin, one a kickflipping transplant from the UK and the other a local who has been a mainstay of the scene for many years. These two are familiar faces who don’t need much introduction, so press play and enjoy!”

“I think this section represents what it’s like to ride with Tony & Phil. Y’know, the kind of stuff they’d be doing any given session. Tony is an amazingly nimble bike rider, and Phil has accurate precision. I’d say 90% of Tony’s clips he was just messing around. Phil’s crankflips can’t be fucked with. He has a unique bike setup; two pegs on the same side as his sprocket. Giving his back left pedal / crank a nice open spot for grinding. The over pedal slide is so dope. Both of these guys kill it, and it’s cool seeing them in a split part. Next up is the dynamic duo of Cork & Ickspat (Nick Spath) who close out the video.” – Matt Smith

Scotty Cranmer – The Worst Skatepark Ever

January 7, 2016

For the latest in Scotty Cranmer‘s series of BMX videos, Scotty, Cory Berglar and Big Boy head to Howell Skatepark to ride the very under sized, unmaintained prefabricated setup this place has to offer. Although there isn’t much to ride, these guys made the best of it. Take a peek and see what went down. You might just be surprised.

“We ride the Worst skatepark Ever! well, atleast the worst skatepark around us! I always hear kids saying ” Our local park sucks!” And I wanted to show everyone that just because you don’t have an awesome park like The Incline Club that you can still learn new tricks and have an awesome time! Big Boy and Cory Berglar joined me as we rode Howell Skatepark here in NJ. Even though we knew the skatepark is pretty beat up we knew we would still find a way to enjoy ourselves because that is what BMX is about! And the truth is we had an awesome session! I want to go to other not so great skateparks around the country and ride with the locals and have fun so comment which park we should come to!”
