Over the years, we’ve seen a lot of riders that bring something very unique to their riding that really make them stand out. Whether it’s a crazy bag of tricks or style, there’s always that thing that burns a name into your memory. Over the course of the past year or so, Larry Edgar is a name that has been BLASTING his name into our memory with some of the biggest airs and a ton of style. Recently, Larry has been popping up more and more between contests and edits and was recently added to the Fly Bikes team, so we figured there was no way we could wait to get to know this guy better. Let’s see what he had to say!

Ryan Sher – Long Story Short

September 28, 2015

DIG released their latest “Long Story Short” featuring Ryan Sher who talks about how he got into BMX, bouncing around, riding for Kink and then becoming brand manager of Subrosa and his roles. Take a peek!

“Since around the turn of the millennium Ryan Sher was a regular and welcome fixture of seemingly all BMX media coverage. Wether it was from early Kink Trips, Props Megatours, various magazine covers (everyones remembers his Ride US coverage of the curved wall-ride right?) or endless shots on our own pages of DIG dating back to his first UK visits at the old Bike Shows and Backyard Jams, and leading onto his first Euro trips with his then new company, Subrosa. Then, after 10 years of so it felt like the coverage just stopped almost overnight as Ryan took a major step back from being a Pro rider to concentrate as his new found BMX industry duties.

For episode 2 of our DIG ‘Long Story Short’ Series we caught up with Ryan to learn a little more about his early history within BMX, the story behind ‘that’ wall-ride and why he made the switch from full-time rider to full time brand manager. Enjoy.

Woozy BMX – The First Ever 360-Degree BMX Video?

September 28, 2015

We have seen a lot of innovation when it comes to cameras and how it can be played back. The quality of BMX videos have GREATLY improved and we’ve seen some unique features. Today we get a look at an interesting new concept that Youtube must be playing with that allows you to do a 360-degree view video, which kind of reminds us of Google Maps, haha. Woozy BMX gave it a go to see how it works. We weren’t able to get it to work with Safari, but it did work with Firefox for those of you having issues. We’re personally not really that into it since you kind of have to move the camera around to keep up with the riding or you end up missing everything, haha. But yeah, take a look.

“The first ever BMX Street 360 Degree VR Video? Check this one out! JUST A TEST!! MORE SOON!! MOVE YOUR PHONE!! OR USE THE BUTTONS IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER TO MOVE AROUND 360°!!!! LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK in the comments!! let us know if it doesnt work we will try to help in the comments section. Virtual Reality BMX RIDER: Christian Heger.”
