A Day Riding BMX In Downtown New York City

July 27, 2015

Spend a day cruising street spots with Billy Perry, Jake Layton and a handful of other locals they bumped into throughout the day! Looks like despite there being people everywhere, they were able to ride a few of the spots they cruised to and stack a few clips! Take a look and see!

“Myself and Jake Layton headed to New York City from Long Island to ride around and get a few clips for this short Day in NYC video. We found parking in the Lower East Side next to a playground with a flat rail and a basketball court which ended up being a perfect warm up spot. We cruised around and met up with a few friends at LES skatepark and headed down into the financial district from there and ended up filming a few things.” – Billy Perry

Mayday – Sasha Melnikov Welcome Video

July 27, 2015

Sasha Melnikov is now doing it for Mayday Brand over in Russia! Here’s his welcome edit giving us a look at just why they picked him up! Sasha has a unique style of street riding with a very technical bag of tricks that he links together incredibly well. Sasha doesn’t run pegs, but he puts his crank arm and pedal grinds to work very heavily along with a lot of freecoaster and manual action. This is one of those BMX videos where you will find yourself scrolling back over and over again to try and process everything going on in a few of the clips. This is a real good watch, so get on that play button for this BMX video already!

2015 Moscow BMX Games – Best Trick Highlights

July 27, 2015

Here’s a ton of footage from the 2015 Moscow BMX Games Best Trick contest that went down the other day. This is a pretty raw cut with a lot of down time, but there’s some heavy tricks that went down and even a couple slams that looked like they hurt like hell. This video is 15 minutes, but it’s fairly easy to skip around and see what everyone was doing if you’re tight on time.

Voodoo Jam – Super Kids

July 27, 2015

Now days, kids are absolutely insane. We just spotted this video over on Flat Matters from the Voodoo Jam Super Kids jam that had a few of Japan’s finest absolutely tearing up the floor! If you want to be blown away, take a look at this BMX video because the riding, especially at their age and size, is amazing. After the riding, we also get a special moment where Terry Adams gives his bike to a deserving kid, which is awesome as well since the kid was almost in tears from being so happy.

Adam LZ – Canada Left Us Speechless Webisode

July 26, 2015

Adam LZ and his girlfriend, Nicole, made a trip up to Canada recently to hang out with some fans, ride Joyride 150, visit shops and do some touristy stuff. He pulled out the camera to document the entire trip for the latest webisode. Hit play and take in everything!

“How could a little road-trip turn into such an awesome experience? World famous JoyRide 150, roaming around downtown Toronto, and meeting HUNDREDS of fans definitely had something to do with it!

I don’t even know where to begin with this description… But I should probably start with a backstory. You guys have been asking me to come out to Canada (specifically JoyRide 150) for YEARS now. It was on my list of “must-dos” this summer, but I was having a hard time finding someone to go with. None of my friends had passports, and none of them wanted to go out of their way to get one. I wound up waiting until Nicole came down and taking the 8 hour road trip up there with her. I was kind-of worried that a BMX trip would be boring for her, but it was literally the best time (IMO) that we’ve ever had together.

We stopped at JoyRide 150, a bike-only skatepark in Toronto filled with everything from box jumps to cross country MTB tracks. There were literally 150+ kids that showed up (we checked with the front desk) to hang out and ride with us. I can’t get over how crazy it was to ride with that many people and hang out with all our fans that know so much about us and our videos. Literally every single person was insanely nice, especially JoyRide staff, and Matt O’Brien who helped film all day!

The “chill” day riding around downtown Toronto was definitely my favorite. Just exploring a new place on bikes and seeing city-culture is one of the most fun things ever. I didn’t have my helmet on because I wasn’t really planning on riding (I hurt my foot at joyride), but when we bumped into some riders I couldn’t help but get some tricks in (you guys know how it is). Huge shoutout to the awesome Goonsquad for helping me film! I’m really bummed my GoPro started acting up with the audio, but hopefully you guys don’t mind.

On our way back home we stopped at A1 Cycle in Brantford, ON for a quick meetup/ride with some more fans. Definitely was surprised to see so many people come out in such a little town! The Canadian BMX scene is amazingly strong and on top of the amount of riders, their positive attitudes are really what will move our sport forward. We hung out and made our way over to their local park followed up by some free pizza at the shop! Huge shoutout to A1 Cycle, Zak Longhurst for filming, and his mom for the Starbucks!

Side note: A1 Cycle (Brantford, ON) and Harvester Bikes (Markham, ON) both stock LZBMX clothing if you don’t feel like placing an online order!

To sum up what might be one of the longest YouTube descriptions ever I’d like to say thank you. Thank you to every single one of you guys that came out to meet up with us, took pictures, had us sign stuff, or even gave us something. It’s insane to be treated this way when all we really do is go out and film ourselves having fun on bikes. Thank you to all of you who wanted to come, couldn’t come, or even those of you who are watching this video. I just can’t thank everyone enough, all the shops, parks, and people that helped film, but ESPECIALLY Nicole. It takes one very special girl to take an international BMX road trip and enjoy it yet. She loves you guys as much as I do, and it’s not surprising that she signed just as many (if not more) autographs than I did at parks.

As a closing note, just remember BMX isn’t all about being the best. Look at me, look at Bert, even look at Nicole. We aren’t by any means the best riders in BMX. We just have fun and try to present that in the format of entertaining videos. There is absolutely NO REASON every single one of you guys can’t be doing the same thing. Just remember to keep it fun and the views will come.”

July 26, 2015

Well, this is an interesting concept… During Harry Main’s recent session at the the Clairemont Skatepark in San Diego, he challenged a scooter rider to a game of FLAIR, where they went head to head flairing different ramps around the park, similar to BIKE. Watch as Harry shows this kid a thing or two then find out who takes the win!

“We headed out to Mission Valley in San Diego and randomly bumped into famous stunt scooter rider Tanner Fox! This kid is insane, so we decided to have a “Flair Off” BMX v Scooter, winner takes all. Enjoy!”
