BDM Bikes hit us with a link to a video they put together from this years Cookie Jam over in the U.K! This video is a little rough around the edges in the filming department, but overall there is some real solid riding in this and it looks like the day was filled with good times and a big turn out. Take a look at all the highlights!

Simone Barraco Mixtape
There has been a ton of fan videos popping up for different pros lately. Here’s a new one featuring over 8 minutes of footage of the one and only, Simone Barraco. Although the music might feel like you’re being seduced, the riding, which you may or may not have seen already, is top notch. Simone has a style like no other and his ability to put grind and freecoaster lines together is like no other. Highly suggest you check this BMX video out because it’s so good.
Darryl Nau Video Bike Check
We’ve seen a lot of Bike Checks over the years. Most pretty standard in format, others a little more creative… But we’re 99% sure this is the first time a bike check has been filmed at a strip club? Either way, here’s an interviews video bike check with Darryl Nau and his S&M Bikes ATF setup that he’s running. Darryl is one of a kind and we love it!
“Darryl Nau’s ATF bike check was filmed quite a few months ago, but the footage just found its way out of the champagne room, so without any further ado… feast your eyes on this babe!

East Coast Destruction – Grant Bass: Legalize Ranch
Here’s a fresh one from from a golden hour session at the Bethlehem Skate Plaza out in Pennsylvania with Grant Bass for East Coast Destruction. Grant brings plenty of grind combos, barspins and tailwhips to the table for this BMX video and it turned out real good. We knew we were in for something good when this started out with the rocket hop tailwhip right off the bat! Not sure what the legalize ranch stuff is all about, but we like us some ranch on our food, so… Let’s go with that. Check it!

Jakub Spurny – Spring 2015
Jakub Spurny sent over his latest video giving us a look at what he was getting up to this past spring over in the Czech Republic. Based off the video, it would appear he spent quite a bit of time putting those pegs of his to heavy use. Check out a ton of clips from skateparks, street spots and flat rail sessions where he sent grind after grind on ledges and rails. Overall, a real solid BMX video!
How To Fakie with Harry Main
Now that Harry Main has a fully functioning wrist again, he’s able to start firing out his How To videos for you young guns out there. Today, he goes with a very basic, but very important trick that every BMX rider will need to learn, the Fakie. Watch as Harry gives you a few real key details on how to do it with plenty of examples (and a few crashes) to see how it’s done. This trick can be super frustrating when you’re first starting out, but once you figure it out, you’ll start doing it without thinking and it will just be natural for you. So, if you can’t fakie… Get on that play button and take some advice, then go give it some practice!
