Subrosa – Simone Barraco’s Signature 2016 Novus

November 24, 2015

We’ve seen some complete BMX bike promos before where riders casually cruise around and jib on a complete bike, but Simone Barraco just took things to another level on his signature 2016 Novus complete from Subrosa. Watch as Simone pops one of these bikes out of the box and then proceeds to take his buttery smooth style to spots all over Barcelona, actually crushing it on his signature bike. That’s what we call a promo right there! Watch the video, then get a closer look at the bike below!

“Subrosa pro Simone Barraco linked up with Moritz Nussbaumer in Barcelona to take his signature 2016 Novus Complete Bike out of the box and shred around town! Simone’s style of riding and artistic influence played a huge part in the development of this bike!

Radio Bikes – Great North Tour: B-Sides

November 24, 2015

A few weeks back, Radio Bikes released a BMX video from their recent team trip — Radio Bikes Great North Tour BMX Trip Video — that took them from Germany to Denmark and all sorts of places in between. After the dust settled, these guys had over 8 minutes of extra footage that needed a home, so they tossed together this B-Roll video with unused footage, crashes and out-takes from Kenneth Tancre, Basti Schweizer, Christoph Werner, Leon Hoppe and Christian Lutz. There’s also a few clips from the behind the scenes guys like TM Dave Paterson, filmer Sebastian Nitsche and photographer Aaron Zwaal for you to see as well. Hit play and see what they were sitting on!

Bruce Crisman – “Salvation”

November 24, 2015

What were you doing back in 2002? Chances are, you were not crushing it on a BMX bike like Bruce Crisman. Shad over at Snakebite just uploaded Bruce’s section from the “Salvation” BMX video and it is pure FIRE. Bruce was grinding rails and riding backwards long before most of you kids and this only has a few freecoaster clips mixed in… Things really got wild once he started going full time on that. Hit play and check this out. Classic video part from one of BMX’s best.

“Bruce Crisman’s part from the Salvation video in 2002. This was after Bruce won the X-games and right before he switched to riding a freecoaster. If you look close there is one coaster clip in this section.”

Today, Haro Bikes China released this new video featuring their team riders cruising SMP Park, a handful of street spots and The Place skatepark. There’s also some Q&A time with the riders. Real stoked on this one and we’re looking forward to seeing more from this crew and China.
