Trails and Park Footy

December 14, 2015

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

Zack Gerber Front Flipped an 8″ Kicker

December 14, 2015

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.
