Lost Chicago Trip

June 22, 2015

It’s crazy how much footage can just be “missing” on peoples hard drives or locked up on Youtube or Vimeo for one reason or another. We’re not sure why Animal Bikes never ended up using this video, but we’re glad Lino Gonzalez finally released this BMX video online for everyone to enjoy! If you’re looking some street, this is one you gotta check out!

““Clips from Abdul Fofanah, Joe Niranonta, Steven Hamilton, and Lino Gonzalez filmed during a June 2014 trip from NJ to Chicago that was originally for Animal. Stopping in WV, PA, IN, OH, and MI along the way. Abdul’s clips were used for an edit but the majority of what was filmed got lost in translation. This was originally a rough draft edit to show a selected few what happened on the trip”
0:01, 0:19, 0:23, 0:28, 0:36, 0:39, 1:53, 2:06 appear in Abdul Fofanah “Welcome to Animal” edit: vimeo.com/111499124
0:13 appears in 90East “Public Property”: vimeo.com/114511384

Natalya Diehm – B-Roll, Throw Aways and Instagram Mashup

June 22, 2015

We’re always pumped when the ladies come through with some dialed BMX videos! If you have ever thought “girls can’t ride”, then you clearly haven’t seen Natalya Diehm ride because she has a huge bag of tricks from flips to whips, barspins and more. Take a look at see for yourself!

“This is a little edit thrown together while Natalya recovers from a knee reconstruction (Ruptured ACL and torn Miniscus). Unfortunately we didn’t get all of her bangers on film before the injury so we have just put the left-overs and Instagram clips together.Hope you enjoy it and show some appreciation the next time a girl turns up at your local on a BMX.

Dirt Perfection – AB Trails

June 22, 2015

If somebody asked us what well maintained and “perfect” trails would look like, the AB Trails would be the perfect example. Here’s a video we spotted over on Can You Dig It from the place, and honestly we spent more time drooling over how perfect the place looks than the riding. Everything is perfectly shaped and smooth. I can’t imagine how much fun it is to ride these trails. Beautiful.

Peep Game – Occupy Chicago

June 22, 2015

The Peep Game crew threw a big street jam out in Chicago recently. Here’s a video giving us a look at some of the riding that went down throughout the day from guys like Timmy Theus and ton of the local riders out there. It’s pretty crazy how we don’t see a constant flow of videos out of Chicago with all of the amazing spots the place has.
