The latest BMX Videos, Products and News!
Although Kurt Yaegar doesn’t talk much about BMX in the interview, he does have a new one up on a site called Mr. Rumsey where he talks about his new role in a show called Quarry. It’s pretty interesting to learn a little bit about what his life is like outside of BMX and in the acting world. Still awesome that he’s so involved with BMX with being so busy. Stoked on that.
The Villa Road crew are quickly becoming one of our favorites and it’s because videos like this! The crew recently put in some work at the Woodyard Trails to get some new lines going, and this video gives us a little look at how the testing went. Hit play to see for yourself just what they have cooked up and how well things were running. Needless to say, the Woodyard is a personal favorite of ours because how amazing the place is built. We love how clean and dialed the place looks.

Two videos from Dan Foley in one day? That’s what we’re talking about! Check out this fresh one featuring him and Alex Topper cruising street spots in Annapolis, Maryland. Everything about this from the riding the filming and editing is so on point. It’s not focused on the crazy, most difficult tricks or lines, but more of a simplistic day of cruising some chill spots. There’s some great lifestyle shots to go along with this that really give it a good summer vibe as well. Take it all in, because this is a dialed BMX video!
After you watch this, check out more footage of Dan Foley in the Lumia Pureviews – Pura Vida video!
“Dan Foley enjoys a summer day cruising with his old friend Alex Topper around Annapolis, Maryland. As Dan relays the familiarity of riding with good friends at old stomping grounds has a special charm to it that I think many of us can relate to. You don’t need the best of spots to have the best of times.
“My good friend Alex Topper and I grew up right outside Annapolis, Maryland. Once the capital of the US, currently the capital of Maryland, and home of the US Naval Academy, Annapolis is a quaint waterfront town with a certain charm I have yet to experience anywhere else. It lacks spots, but is easily one of my favorite places to cruise on a nice summer evening. On a recent trip to visit home, Alex had a day off work so we spent the day cruising around the town and shot this little edit.” – Dan Foley
