Deco – Chad DeGroot Appleton Backyard Session

June 17, 2015

Here’s a short but sweet BMX video Deco dropped from a session that Chad DeGroot, along with BACO’s Mark Hilson and Mark Fluette, got in at a backyard ramp setup in Appleton, Wisconsin! This spot looks like a full on skatepark! Take a look.

““Being in Appleton Wisconsin for the revamped Telulah skatepark which I would call my local and go-to park since it was only 30 minutes away from Green Bay. They tore out the old and put in an updated park which you will see soon enough. But how could we just ride that park when good friend Dave Freimuth wanted our crew to session a private park he built in the outskirts for some friends. So.. with open arms we had a great session at one of Dave’s creations for a skater who wants to ride with bikes. His mom, Brenda, welcomed all our kids to a swimming and a night on their turf. I would rather keep the rest private but we had a blast and before the sun went down @chrisrye got a few clips of me laying some tire marks on a gem of a private backyard. Also featured are Mark Hilson and Mark Fluette.”

It’s always a huge bummer hearing about a BMX rider that has passed away. We don’t know any details of what happened, but Vigh Barna is no longer with us. His friend, Zsolt Ferenczi, put together this tribute video giving us a look at how incredibly talented Vigh was. Such a bummer. Rest in Peace, Vigh!

With this video, I would like to express my sincere condolences to the relatives and everyone who knew and loved Barna. I hope they regarded this video you will like, as was the maximum respect, heart and soul! All we keep in our memory as one of the greatest man who ever BMX our country bounced away! – Zsolt Ferenczi

Insight: Kali Protectives – Viva Helmet

June 16, 2015

With how gnarly BMX is getting these days, it’s safe to say that nobody can really argue that having a little extra protection is never a bad thing. A lot of pros have started rocking helmets more frequently and it’s pretty obvious to see why with some real heavy injuries happening to guys like Brett Banasiewicz to really open everyones eyes on just what can happen. Our friends over at Kali Protectives hit us up recently to see if we wanted to check out one of their BMX specific helmets they offer. We figured it would be rad to give you guys a closer look at their Viva helmet since Nick Bruce had a lot of input on it. Let’s get into this!
