Northern Embassy – Justin Schwanke Five Clip Fever

September 2, 2015

Justin Schwanke just sent over his entry for the Northern Embassy Five Clip Fever contest. As expected, Justin came through with some creative and original riding where he put a bunch of grinds, rail rides and freecoaster action together. Take a peek!

“For my Five Clip Fever entry I figured I’d challenge myself and try to film 5 clips that involved rail rides. My hometown pre-fab park has a bunch of small square rails which were perfect for the occasion.

September 2, 2015

For the latest episode of Bob Manchester‘s “Work In Progress” series, he takes a break from the trails to spend some time cruising skateparks and shooting guns with the one and old Ben Hennon! As you can imagine, both of these guys brought tons of style to the table making for one damn good BMX video. Take a look!

“With Bob’s yard now taking shape for his jam, we decided it was time for a little more down time… So we scooted off t’up North for a weekend with the man himself who actually sung Bob’s praises to Hoffman Bikes in the first place. Mr. Ben Hennon, globally renowned for his DGAF attitude, huge tricks and two crazy dogs, was kind enough to host Bob for a long weekend of nothing but bikes and good times. This series proudly supported by Hoffman Bikes, Crucial BMX and Stay Strong Clothing.” – Epic TV
