The Eclat team just got another new addition to the team! Thomas Benedetti is now riding for Eclat in France and he’s kicking things off with a damn good welcome to the team video. This has a ton of grinds and lines from the streets, along with some footage of him cruising bowls and a few different skateparks and more showing his diverse style of riding. Well worth hitting play on this BMX video!

RideOn In Cyprus 2015
Now this is a BMX video you can start your Friday off right with! The RideOn crew over in Greece dropped this banger of a video from their trip to Cyprus this past summer. They appeared to have nothing but sunshine and endless spots to go to work on. Check out what they stacked for clips above. Oh, and the film work on this is crispy, too. Bonus points there. Enjoy!
“On August 7th, the Rideon team travelled to Cyprus for a week of vacation, riding and filming. Despite the high levels of temperatures and humiditity, Jason Eustathiou, Dimos Ganiatsas and John Manaras were able to ride all day long, searching for the most unique spots and tearing apart every one of them.
We want to thank Monster Energy for helping us out, as well as all the locals of all the cities we visited in Cyprus.

Animal Bikes – Past, Present and Future: Part 2
Man, Epic TV are really taking their time to release these sections! Finally, we have part two from the Past, Present and Future feature on Animal Bikes where Ralph Sinisi talks a little bit more about the past of Animal, then jumps into future projects they have going. Since this was filmed a while back, we would imagine there’s a more specific plan in the works, but it will be good to see Animal getting a jump start again. Take a look!

Haro Bikes – Ryan Nyquist 2015 Video
Now THIS is a BMX video that, even if you don’t ride trails, is incredibly easy to get stoked on. Haro Bikes dropped this new video of Ryan Nyquist taking his incredibly deep bag of tricks to a handful of trails in Northern California where he calls home. This has a ton of his classics along with a bunch of new combos you probably have never even seen! You’ll want to watch this more than once to process all the combos.
“Ryan Nyquist is 36 years of age. Some of the tricks he filmed for this video are his most difficult and they’re all part of his greatest hits collection reserved for contests runs. Some of Ryan’s signature tricks have been contest winners over the past 20 years.
Look for a few brand new ones too like the truck to suicide to bar, 360 barspin-and-a-half to 360 barspin-and-a-half on the next set, cannonball to barspin and nothing to suicide.
Ryan really hasn’t lost any tricks over the years and here’s proof.
Ryan’s bike of choice is the Haro Lineage.
Video by Christian Rigal filmed in Northern California. ”
