Corey Walsh – Drain City

December 8, 2015

Here’s a BMX video for all you pool lovers… and soon to be pool lovers after you watch this new video featuring Corey Walsh putting in work on a couple different ones in Vancouver! Watch as Corey absolutely slays each of these transition gold mines that he put some heavy hours in to get dialed in for a session. If you have never felt compelled to ride a pool, this video will DEFINITELY change your perspective. We know we need a session in one of these ASAP.

“Corey Walsh has one thing on his mind for the last month in the Fall of 2015… pools. Strung out like some kind of addict, you’ll find Corey in some strangers backyard, staring longingly into google maps, or up to his gumboots in pool scum. Needless to say, Corey’s life was a mess, but for an underlying purpose. After scouting, draining and cleaning – the pools were ready. Watch Corey roast these Vancouver gems and get weird with it!

Travis Pastrana Announces the Nitro World Games

December 8, 2015

Just when you thought Travis Pastrana and Nitro Circus have done it all, they end up bringing a whole new idea to the party. The Nitro World Games is going to be a huge contest that will go down in one day, July 16th in Salt Lake City, Utah. Based on the press release, it sounds like it will feature BMX best trick and BMX triples as part of this concept that will also feature Moto-X, skateboarding, inline, scooters and more, but it will feature a different format than something like the X-Games. Travis has a huge focus on safety for this event, which will feature resi landings on all of the ramps, which are used on all of the Nitro Circus show ramps. There won’t be any dirt, no vert ramp, no street course… Essentially this is just going to be a three hour huck fest over some huge ramps with the goal of re-igniting the action sports industry by grabbing the attention of people that don’t ride. From our perspective, these guys are doing a good job of hyping it up, but we’ll have to see how it all goes down before we can really gauge how progressive and beneficial to the BMX and action sports industry. It would be good to see a street course, vert ramp and dirt course to really expose BMX and skateboarding, but maybe that will be part of it if things go well the first go around and they get the chance to send it again.

Either way, expect things to get crazy on July 16th in Salt Lake City, Utah and hope this is going to draw in more riders, because we can always use more riders! Get a look at the course concept design below!

“On December 7, 2015, Nitro Circus (http://www.nitrocircus.com), NBC Sports, Utah Governor Gary R. Herbert and the Utah Sports Commission announced the inaugural Nitro World Games coming to Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah on Saturday, July 16, 2016. The biggest event in the history of action sports, the Nitro World Games is a riveting three-hour experience – airing live in the U.S. on NBC during prime time – that marks a revolutionary transformation of action sports competition. Created by extreme sports icon Travis Pastrana with Nitro Circus CEO and Creative Director Michael Porra, the Nitro World Games will feature the best athletes from across the globe in action sports’ most exciting and popular disciplines, including freestyle motocross (FMX), BMX, skate, inline, scooter and more.”
