Did you know the Darth Vader is into BMX and skateboarding? Neither did we, but we should have known since he’s got the force and all that good stuff that probably would make riding a lot easier. Check it out as he catches a session cruising a skatepark and getting no respect from the scooter riders (no surprise there). Do you think his favorite trick is a Vader jam?
Oh, and guess what? Apparently Storm Troopers ride BMX, too! Who would have guessed?
Jason Perz is a BMX legend that we’ve been seeing crush it for years. What you don’t know is that he has had a pretty rough life that has lead him in some pretty interesting directions, but, thanks to BMX, he was able to direct his life in a more positive way that has allowed him to use his story to teach kids through Thriller BMX shows. Get his story in this amazing TEDx talk he gave at Cleveland State University recently.
“After years of professional BMX riding, Jason Perz found himself in and out of jail cells and institutions, battling addiction. But after a rock-bottom epiphany, he realized, this is part of his journey. His talk inspires hope and perseverance can come out of the deepest despair.
Jason Perz runs thrillerbmx.com and travels the country speaking about his experiences battling addiction, bullying, and overcoming the odds. He inspires others to have faith in their journeys.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx”
Laura Curnock coming through with a BMX video for all the ladies out there putting in work! Check out some footage of her cruising a few different skateparks, putting her pegs to good use and getting some spins in. We don’t see a ton of footage coming from the girls out there, but we’re always stoked when something like this pops up.
Jeremy Deme dropped this rad new BMX video from some of trails and parks him and his friends have been cruising lately. This has a handful of different trails spots, including the Gorge Road trails in New Zealand, and skateparks where all the guys had some good times. This isn’t the craziest tricks, but it’s a damn good watch!
“There are many great feelings you can have on a BMX: cruising through a new city stumbling onto new spots, flowing a set of trails, riding a new park with some buds and so much more. This is a culmination of random footage that didn’t have a home. Mainly just friends having a good time.

DIG just dropped the latest podcast that Shad Johnson did with the one and only Van Homan to talk about a ton of different topics from ay back in the day on up into more relevant topics today. Definitely worth hitting play and listening to this one!
“We sat down with Van Homan while he was visiting Portland late in 2015 and had one hell of an epic discussion. It feels like we covered almost everything and anything ranging from how much of a game changer Standard 3/8’s heat treated axle’s were when they came out, to the classic Trailblazin’ video, filming for both the Little Devil videos, keeping that mindset to keep pushing your riding as you get older, and so so many other things. Van just started talking before we were even ready to go so we just hit record. Enjoy this unscripted and open conversation with a truly influential game changing legend of our time.” – DIG
The Street Market guys have always had a pretty unique approach to doing things. Today, they sent through a BMX video of them putting the Merritt P1 pedals to the test in a pretty unorthodox way… without a bike. There is a breaking point for plastic BMX Pedals and it would appear that they have found what it is for these ones. Check it!
The Merrytimes crew dropped this fresh BMX video featuring Josh Gagnon going to work on a bunch of his local street spots, dropping some damn good riding along the way! The professional BMX circuit might be pretty competitive and loaded with talent, but there’s a ton of guys like Josh who can keep up with the pros, that’s for sure.

We have seen Zack Gerber front flip a lot of stuff in his days. There was the time he front flips from two roofs and the time he front flipped off an up rail, but it’s safe to say this is another noteable one from him. During the Looking For Spots DVD premiere at 5050 Skatepark, Zack launched one off this 8″ tall kicker like it was nothing. Talk about pure madness.
Below is a second angle that’s clearer.
