Mafia Bikes – Tom Justice: Into the Storm

December 16, 2015

We are BIG fans of Tom Justice here at The Union and it’s real easy to see why… Tom absolutely RIPS! Watch as he goes to work on a handful of skateparks around the U.K absolutely blasting each one with his signature style. This is one BMX video you do not want to pass up!

“Tom shreds the indoor parks of Scotland with his insanely clicked tricks and huge amounts of style all while dodging incoming storm desmond.

Style for miles with a load of tech combos to match this edit has it all.

No roofs where hit in the making of this edit. Although it was close ALOT of the time.

Big thanks to all the skateparks we visited during this trip” – Mafia Bikes

Vans coming in hot with a fresh BMX video from Kevin Kalkoff for your viewing pleasure! Watch as Kevin takes his buttery smooth style to street spots, absolutely slaying each one along the way! Amazing spots, dialed film work and incredible riding. You cannot pass up on this one!

“Without a doubt Kevin is one of the most versatile riders in Europe, his style on and off the bike is just smooth and he makes everything look effortless.
Despite a minor injury, KK had a great 2015 where he even was able to join a shoe campaign between VANS and his new Bike sponsor The Shadow Conspiracy.
A lot of miles were collected as well this year and Kevin was even able to collect some great clips for a bad ass 2015 recap edit.
So, sit back and enjoy some timeless riding by Monsieur Kalkoff.

Red Bull – Vasya Lukyanenko: Industrial

December 16, 2015

It’s not every day that you get to ride a steel factory in the Ukraine, but Red Bull found a way to get Vasya Lukyanenko in the door for a brief period of time to cruise for one undoubtably very rare session. This factory, which hasn’t shut down once in the last seventy years, kept rolling with production as Vasya got his bike on whatever he could in a short amount of time. The end result is this BMX video that is well worth a watch! You can check out some photos right here, but good luck reading it if you don’t speak Ukrainian.

Rockstar – Chris Doyle in Pittsburgh

December 16, 2015

You know it’s going to be a good day when a new Chris Doyle BMX video surfaces! Rockstar dropped this new one featuring Chris and Heath Pinter catching some laps at Hazelwood before taking the session indoors to The Wheel Mill! Classic Doyle tricks that never go out of style! Hit play and enjoy!

Was that Heath or Chris that hucked the backflip at 1:32? I’m assuming Heath because it’s a rare sighting to see Chris go upside down, haha. Somebody should have told those guys not to dress the same.

BSD – Lost In Iran

December 16, 2015

There are only a handful of places on this earth we’re not really sure if we’ve seen much, if any, footage from. Iran is one of those countries and it looks like that all changes now. BSD‘s Luc Legrand, Antony Lille, along wth Clement Baes and filmer Antoine Sabourin recently saw their chance and took it to explore a country that most don’t consider. Based off this BMX video, it’s safe to say this place is one big untapped spot and the people appear to be pretty amazed by what these guys are doing on two wheels. Pretty amazing stuff since Iran always gets painted as a pretty rough place to go.

“The BSD hippies are back and this time they threw out the rule book and took advantage of Iran’s recent increased leniency on their visa applicants. Forget what you think you already know and watch on as Luc Legrand, Antony Lille and guest rider, Clement Baes ride bikes and enjoy a country that most would be scared to even consider visiting, let alone smith grind through. Sit back and enjoy!” – DIG

“In the current world climate and with the help of the propaganda of political pundits, lots of friends don’t understand… why Iran? It’s dangerous… blah blah blah… Whatever, all I can say is that it was one of the best experiences in life for all of us. The Iranian people we met were just so nice, hospitable and curious about the world. We were able to speak about all of the big subjects… religion, politics and war. They know of what the rest of the world thinks of them. They know that it is all geo-politics. They aren’t angry about American people but they are against imperialist politics. They are afraid of undergoing the same fate as all the countries which surround them. Anyway, we met incredible people, discovered the Persian culture, ate good food, saw crazy landscapes and we rode some originals spots for our littles bikes… So, switch off the TV and open your mind. No more wars, love is gonna win!” – Antoine Sabourin
