Rockstar – Chase Hawk “The Hawks Nest”

July 13, 2023

Chase Hawk’s backyard ramp dream has become a reality!

I think every single one of us has dreamed of having a really sick backyard ramp setup to ride. Chase Hawk has been dreaming of it for a long time now, and finally all of the pieces to the puzzle came together with his new home that allowed him to bring in the crew and build an absolute BANGER of a bowl called The Hawks Nest thanks to Rockstar Energy. Here’s a look at how it all came together from start to finish with a ton of riding from Chase for good measure. This is too good to pass up.

“For Chase Hawk, having a ramp in his backyard has always been the dream. After years of preparation, that dream is now a reality. Tune in to The Hawks Nest now. #RockstarEnergy

Adidas Five Ten – Brad Simms Sleuth DLX Promo

July 13, 2023

The Brad Simms colorway for the Sleuth DLX is out now!

Here’s a short but sweet promo video featuring Brad Simms and his signature colorway for the Adidas Five Ten Sleuth DLX shoe! Hit play to let Brad tell you a little bit about the shoe, along with some BMX and MTB riding for good measure. These look real good. Take a look!

“In 2018, adidas Five Ten introduced the all-new SLEUTH and SLEUTH DLX product range, creating the ultimate blend of street style with the unmatched grip of STEALTH rubber. The SLEUTH range took the iconic adidas Samba silhouette and paired it WITH a STEALTH dotty outsole and in 2023 the range gets updated with a new colourway inspired by Brad Simms.

“ The SLEUTH DLX has been my shoe of choice since joining the Five Ten family. It has a casual, skate style which I love but with the added benefits of the famous STEALTH sole. It is the perfect shoe for all the different types of riding I do, from BMX to MTB. Now it is even better as it is in my signature colourway.” – Brad Simms

Brad’s limited edition colourway comes packed with all the features usually found on the SLEUTH DLX including a STEALTH Phantom Dotty sole, PU Leather and toe box protection, along with an EVA cup midsole. Brad’s design is understated and simple, combining black with metallic gold detailing throughout.

The SLEUTH DLX Brad Simms colourway retails for £110 GBP and is available throughout Europe on adidas.com and in independent bike retailers.

Tom Haugen – Stop Me If You’ve Seen This One Before

July 12, 2023

A new Tom Haugen video for your viewing pleasure!

When I hopped on the computer this morning, I did not expect to see a new Tom Haugen video. Fortunately, there is one and it’s a little over 3 minutes of pure BMX goodness. Watch as Tom puts is deep bag of tricks to good use from technical lip tricks with plenty of front brake magic to stretched supermans and even a little flatland. Growing up Tom was from my area and one of the first pro riders I had the chance to see and ride with, so it’s awesome seeing he’s still crushing it. Get on that play button and enjoy!

“Tom Haugen made an edit at 46. Most of the video was filmed a week before his birthday. The ending was filmed less than 12 hours before the deadline.

Kevin Peraza, Matty Cranmer and Nikita Ducarroz spend some time on big bikes.

A few weeks back during the Bentonville Bike Fest, Mongoose had Kevin Peraza, Nikita Ducarroz and Matty Cranmer hop on some mountain bikes to cruise some of the trails and see what they could do. The transition from BMX to MTB is a little weird, but oddly enough pretty easy. Take a look at what they got into!
