It’s still pretty mind blowing how few BMX videos we actually see from SMP Park in China. Either way, whenever footage does surface from the place it’s always pretty good. Here’s some self-filmed clips Catfish stacked during a recent visit to the park. Catfish has a super creative style that brings flatland, street and ramp riding all together making for a good watch. Take a look!
A Day with Hadrien Picard
This is pretty rad. Eastpak France caught up with Hadrien Picard to spend a day following him around as well as getting some insight into his career as a photographer and film maker. Hadriend has been behind A TON of really good BMX videos and countless amazing photos over the years, so it’s good to see him get some proper recognition. Take a look!
“Hadrien Picard began to be interested in the picture via the photo in 1998. Then in 2004, after a Masters in Human Geography he began traveling the world to document the midst of urban sports.
Halfway between sports photography and studio, she made him a working knowledge of both worlds: learning to capture the decisive moment while building its framework & its own light thanks to deported flashes.
During the last decade Hadrian worked with the leading brands of environment & has completed more than 40 magazine covers.
The transition from fixed to the moving picture image is made naturally from 2008.
Since, as pictured in video, Hadrian expands its subjects while keeping one foot in urban culture. There we find the taste of the movement, while keeping a photographic framing.

On The Horizon: Brotherhood BMX
If you haven’t caught on by now, we’re huge product nerds here at The Union and we’re always keeping our eye out for new and interesting products that are worth getting a look at. About a year ago, we caught wind of a company out of Russia called Brotherhood (or BRZRHD) that are producing a few products that are not only unique, but high quality. With that being said, their product line is a pretty small, but quality and one we have been really impressed with. We were very curious to know just what this brand was all about, so we got ahold of one of the brothers from Brotherhood to find out just what they are about and what they have planned. Let’s take a look!
