Shola – Davey Watson Section

January 4, 2016

Snakebite dropped the Davey Watson section from Bruce Crisman’s “Shola” BMX video that came out back in 2009. This was right around the time Davey was hitting things the hardest, bringing his laid back, but gnarly style to spots. It’s crazy how good he was and unfortunate the path he ended up on later down the road. Either way, hit play and enjoy this!

“I met Davey when he was 15 going on 16 and by the time I had just 2 sessions with him I knew absolutely, without a doubt, that he was going to become something extraordinary within the BMX industry. I can’t say enough good things about him and his riding. I only advise that you watch this section loud and let Davey blow your mind with his style, originality and creativity that we are privileged to witness throughout the effort that he put forth to create this timeless video part.” – Bruce Crisman

Harry Main OFF Custom Riders

January 4, 2016

Over the course of the past few days, Harry Main has been announcing his sponsor changes for 2016… So far he’s announced that he is no longer rider for Hyper and Snafu, then he announced that he is no longer rider for Coyote Sports (Which we saw coming since they distribute Hyper and Snafu in the U.K). Then today, Harry announced that he has also stopped riding for Custom Riders. So, that leaves Monster Energy, Skullcandy, Vans(? We heard that he stopped riding for Vans as well, but he’s still listed on their website?) and The Wandering (his clothing brand).

So, will he shed a few more sponsors or is this the last one before he starts announcing his new sponsor(s) that he hinted at the day he announced that he quit Hyper?

We now invite you guys to start up your own Total callout in your local scene, call your friends out and upload the clips to instagram and make sure to tag us @totalbmx #totalcallout and we will pick the best clips to win Total BMX prizes.
We do not take responsibility for any injuries or deaths as a result of you calling out your friends 🙂

Hoffman Bikes – 25 Year Countdown Compilation

January 4, 2016

Hoffman Bikes are celebrating 25 years of being in business. Over the course of the past 43 days or so, they have been doing spotlights on a number of their team riders and products that have been apart of their history. Today we get a compilation of footage from all of their team riders that have been apart of Hoffman Bikes in that time span. Needless to say, there have been A LOT of of legends and incredible riders that have been apart of their squad over the years and this is an amazing BMX video that you cannot pass up!

“Over the course of 25 years, many of the legendary riders called Hoffman Bikes home at one point in their riding careers. Riders like Taj Mihelich, Dave Mirra, Jay Miron, Kevin Jones and Joe “Butcher” Kowalski, just to name a few. It has been an honor to have so many great, talented riders ride for Hoffman Bikes. Only a handful of companies have been around as long as Hoffman Bikes. To be able to say that many of the legends today rode for Hoffman Bikes is astonishing.

Since the original 1991 team (Mat Hoffman, Dave Mirra, Rick Thorne, Steve Swope and Davin Hallford), Hoffman Bikes has sponsored 113 plus riders and employed over 30 awesome people. It’s an honor to have so many riders represent and ride our products and to have employees who put their heart and soul into making the Hoffman Bikes dream come true.

With that we leave you with this one hell of a Hoffman Bikes team video which highlights over 70 Hoffman Bike riders of the past 24 years.

Music:
Traindodge “The Raining Room”
Six Star General “Five Years”
Earth Witch “Green Tourch”
Bad Wizard “Hurricane”
Bill Goat | Mike Dillon “Old School”

shout out to Paul Covey, Luke Kyriazis, Kela Yasuda, Props Visual Bmx Video Magazine, Justin Brown, Eddie Roman and anyone that we missed that help supply video to make this happen.”
