The latest BMX Videos, Products and News!
The Barstool Crew over in Ireland hit us with a link to their latest video featuring Errol Flanagan putting some work in on the streets. Errol just healed up from a broken wrist, but other than the wrist brace you would never know! Watch as he puts his pegs and freecoaster to good use on a ton of different spots he hit up to get back into the swing of things! All around a real solid BMX video.

The British Embassy crew just hit us with a link to a video from the trip they took last year during a visit to the United States. The guys bought an RV, piled in and hit the road from Austin, Texas to California and back again. This video documents the trip from the riding to life in the van and some of the antics that went down along the way. There’s a TON of great riding from the skateparks and street spots they got sessions in and some of the extras are absolutely hilarious. All in all, this looks like a proper road trip and they got the full on American experience. Take a look at this BMX video, because it does NOT disappoint!
Dan’s Comp have released their Early Fall 2015 catalog which features Dakota Roche on the cover! You can find out more about this photo, along with what Dakota Roche has going on, some new signature products he is working on and more by hitting the Dan’s 360 website. Always stoked on what Dak has going on, that’s for sure!
Here is a little less than serious flatland edit we had sent in featuring Censure Tatsumi from Tokushima, Japan! This was all filmed during a recent session with a few solid flatland moves, a couple clips where he’s just goofing around. The ender, which very well might be the first self filmed clip with a selfie stick, will probably have your cracking up pretty good, too. Take a look!

We’re not quite sure whose birthday it was, but we do know there was a trails jam for them and it looks like it was a damn good time. Take a few laps from the GoPro camera of Manuel Hitz as some of the crew get some riding in. Based off the sidelines, it looks like there was a good turn out for this party and we’re sure things got rowdy after the camera was turned off! Plus, you can’t go wrong with some Lynyrd Skynyrd!

It has been quite some time since we’ve seen a video from Ross Penny, but it looks like he was at NASS 2015 hanging out with The Lab crew and stacked some footage from BMX Park Finals for us to check out! This one gets NSFW at the 1:35 mark for about 5 or so seconds, so we would advise scrolling past that if you’re at work. Otherwise, everything else is good to go and there’s some wild riding to take it! Man, we hope Ross starts putting out more BMX videos again… So good.
“theLAB Presents NASS 2015.
NASS 2015 brought some of the craziest BMX riding I’ve ever seen. From some ridiculous tech tricks, to airing 16ft out the top of a huge ramp and touching the ceiling. I did my best to capture and put in this video a lot of the highlights, but there are some I regrettable missed, such as the first double flair pulled in a competition by Ryan Taylor which was insane and the Best Trick contest, as I was attempting to jump my car so I could have a chance of getting home.
Needless to say, the weekend was pretty amazing as always, so sit back, watch, and hopefully enjoy NASS 2015 as if though the eyes of theLAB.

Life is funny. One day you can be on top of the world, then out of no where you can have your life flipped upside down. Recently, our good friend and one of Canada’s finest BMX riders, Pascal Lafontaine, was diagnosed with a cancer called Ewing Sarcoma in his right foot. Due to the cancer, on June 10th they were forced to amputate his foot and part of his leg to keep the cancer from spreading.
As you can imagine, with something like this it is very sudden and unexpected and because of it, Pascal is being forced to re-learn how to do his whole life with the use of prosthetics. This has also forced him to put BMX on the back burner for the time being until he can get a prosthetic designed similar to Kurt Yaegar’s to get him back on his bike.
Despite being put in a shitty situation, Pascal is staying positive and working his ass off to get back to his life and riding.
Prior to finding out the news, Pascal had shot a ton of riding photos that would be his last before going through the emergency amputation surgery that you can check out by visiting the link below! We have also included a quick clip of Pascal doing his physical therapy to re-learn how to walk! We hope you can all send Pascal some positive vibes to help keep him motivated to get back on the bike, we sure are!
