Woodward – Mini VIP: Brady Baker & Marcus Christopher

July 5, 2015

It’s videos like this that remind us that the future of BMX is going to be absolutely nuts. Woodward East dropped this new video featuring young guns Brady Baker and Marcus Christopher crushing it from the trails to the ramps during their stay at camp this summer. You’ll want to get familiar with these two because we have a feeling we’ll be seeing a whole lot more of them in the coming years.

“Campers Brady Baker and Marcus Christopher were tearing up camp through the start of this summer and staff videographer Justin Benthien was around to grab some clips!

Nothing like watching some up and coming shredders. Enjoy.

Winters End Mix

July 5, 2015

Even though we’re already getting into the highpoint of the summer, we’re still seeing some clips surfacing from some of the winter sessions that went down earlier this year. Joe Nelson was sitting on a ton of great footage from some of the sessions that him and his crew got in at Skaters Edge Skatepark when the temps were still freezing. Plenty of gold throughout this BMX video. Take a peek!

Colton Walker – Twix to Tailwhip

July 4, 2015

Colton Walker – Twix to Whip – More BMX Videos

We have seen Colton Walker pull off the Twix a handful of times, and believe us when we say he has that trick incredibly dialed in, now he has added a little more flavor to this trick. Watch as he pulls off a Twix to late tailwhip. That means a barspin and tailwhip at the same time followed up by a 2nd tailwhip. Talk about complete madness. It looks like his sessions at The Factory in Minneapolis are still paying off quite well!

The Profile Racing Z-Coaster – Everything You Need To Know

July 4, 2015

Considering buying the Profile Racing Z-Coaster freecoaster hub? Here’s a video from Adam LZ giving you some insight into the hub that he has been running for a little over a month now. Adam takes you though all the details about the hub, pros, cons and some of his personal experiences with it. Despite the price tag, it sounds like he’s real psyched on it. Check out the video above!

“Is this mysterious BMX hub worth the insane $358 price tag?
In this video we will explore pros & cons of the hub, in addition to how it works.

As soon as the hub came out everyone wondered if I was going to ride it or not… I saw it as a pretty cool opportunity to try out something new and to make a review about. I really want to start doing more reviews, and this was perfect because there isn’t any videos about this hub that aren’t made by profile themselves. As with all my reviews, I try to touch on the positives and negatives instead of just addressing one side of the topic. I’m very happy with my hub thus far, but will you be? It’s DEFINITELY expensive, whether it is worth it or not is up to you. As I said in the video, you’re more than welcome to try out mine before you order one- just hopefully I’m in your area some time soon!

I tried using my new wide angle lens for this review. Not really the best use for it, but it was cool to switch things up. In case you were wondering, I was NOT paid by Profile for making this video. I would never make a commissioned review without specifically telling you guys in the video. Your trust means more than a few dollars to me any day.

Thanks for watching, I hope this helps clear some things up!”

Mike Fede in Wilmington

July 3, 2015

Our friend, Eric Silver recently picked himself up a new Panasonic GH4 camera and wanted to put it to good use. He met up with Mike Fede and they spent some time cruising around spots in Wilmington, Delaware. We don’t see all too much from Delaware as far as BMX videos go, but it looks like Mike was able to find some spots to ride! Check out the video above and expect plenty more from Eric and Mike in the future here on The Union!
