Stress BMX – Max Bespaliy 2015

December 10, 2015

Stress BMX just sent through their latest BMX video featuring Max Bespaliy putting his pegs, tires and incredible balance to heavy use on every ledge and rail he could get to while apparently dodging security and police every step of the way. This is packed full of heat from start to finish, but that ender is absolute madness. We don’t think we’ve ever seen a stair to stair done like that.

Andy Cameron & Kona Hellier at Decoy Trails

December 10, 2015

It’s always good to see a fresh BMX video from the Decoy Trails over in the U.K! Watch as Andy Cameron and Kona Hellier spend some time enjoying their limited sunny days getting some laps in! Plenty of style for you to enjoy in this one!

“This one has been cooking for a while now but due to a typically shitty UK summer Andy Cameron and Kona Hellier had to wait until September until they could get some time to film at the Decoy trails. If that wasn’t enough, filmer Ryan Hallett was due in for ACL surgery the next day so it really was last chance saloon stuff. Thankfully though the stars aligned and the result is pretty damn awesome.

GoPro – Dany MacAskill – Cascadia

December 10, 2015

We’re big Danny MacAskill fans here at The Union. Even though he’s not on a BMX bike, he is doing some incredible things on two wheels. Today, GoPro released his latest video from some time he spent in Gran Canaria bouncing around from rooftop to roof top and into the ocean… Literally. This video is filled with a ton of footage of Danny appearing to be all too comfortable with riding on the edge where one wrong move could send him dropping a few stories to some serious pain. If you don’t do well with heights, this one might not be for you, haha. Hit play and prepare to drop a few “holy shit” and “what the hell!?” lines. Amazing stuff!

“Join Danny MacAskill on an insane journey across the rooftops of Gran Canaria. Mixing vertigo-inducing lines and killer POV-footage, “Cascadia” delivers some incredible riding.

In collaboration with Mount Creative http://www.mountcreative.com/ and Vision Ramps http://visionramps.co.uk/

A Special Thanks to the wonderful people of Gran Canaria who opened their homes to us and helped make this project a reality.

Muchas gracias a la gente de Gran Canaria por tu hospitalidad!

Leo Balay – ROM 1

December 10, 2015

Here’s an interesting BMX video featuring Leo Balay that’s more of a lifestyle video over riding. There’s some more artistic film work for this one and it’s more about cruising around on what looks like a rainy day than it is about riding. Good watch though.

Empire – Steven Hamilton Fall 2015

December 9, 2015

Empire BMX dropped us a line to let us know they have a brand new Steven Hamilton BMX video for all of us to enjoy! Once again, Steven has come through with some incredible riding and skateboarding on so many different and unique spots. Taking his buttery smooth style with plenty of speed to everything from ledges to big gaps, wall rides and more. There’s a healthy number of fufanus and abubacas spread throughout this as well, which is always a good thing, too. Needless to say, you already know this is one BMX video you cannot miss!

Perspective on the Future of BMX Contests and Nitro World Games

December 9, 2015

Generally, we try and stay away from heavily opinionated posts on the site, since we feel our opinion is just one voice of many, many BMX riders around the world and everyone has a different perspective on this sport of ours. But, today we are seeing a lot of discussion about the future of BMX contests after seeing the plan for the Nitro World Games, which is ultimately looking for a new way to expose BMX, moto-x, skateboarding and a few other action sports to the masses in hopes of pumping the industries full of energy and revived life that many feel is struggling to get the attention of the masses anymore. So, we’re going to toss out our perspective and then we’re hoping to get a lot of discussion going in the comments whether it be here, Facebook or really anywhere we can get riders to discuss their ideas or dreams of where to take this thing we call BMX next.
