Kink – One Hit Wednesday: Chris Doyle

April 22, 2015

Here’s one that will leave you saying ouch! Kink released this weeks One Hit Wednesday that features Chris Doyle going down hard on a MASSIVE rail he was charging for his “Squash It” DVD section.

“Doyle is no stranger to going in on a burley street setup when the time calls for it. This terrifying gap to rail in Pittsburgh, PA was the last clip he tried to film for his “Squash It” section, and it haunted him throughout the entire filming process. Although it didn’t go as planned…its a shining example of just how gnarly Doyle is. Note him just about pulling it first try.

Filmed and cut by Darryl Tocco”

United – West OZ

April 22, 2015

United released this video featuring Jack Birtles and Tyson Jones-Peni from a trip to a trails jam they took down in Australia. This one is more about the vibe and good times versus the riding. It’s a BMX video well worth checking out though. Plus, there’s a little street and skatepark action at the end as well.

“Our Australian United riders Jack Birtles and Tyson Jones-Peni head west on a road trip that’ll make you feel good about getting out there on your bike. These guys are doing it right.

Ride UK – “Everything Just Changed” – The Final Cover

April 22, 2015

Ride UK have just released the final cover of their print edition and it features an INSANE photo of Sebastian Keep. It’s such a bummer that another print magazine is on its way out, but this is a banger of a photo to go out with! This issue should be available soon!

“Over the last 23 years the cover of this magazine has been the home of the most pinnacle moments in BMX history. Our very last print cover has a duty to be something special, something ground breaking, something extraordinary. For our final cover Sebastian Keep delivers all of the above and redefines the boundaries of BMX in the process.

This is a 22ft gap to wall ride, from a kicker ramp on the elevated road above, into a 32ft high wall ride down the side of a multi-storey car park and into a 12ft quarter pipe. To put it bluntly, this is death defying. It is a giant leap into new realms of preparation, commitment, skill, height, speed and danger. It is monumental moment of BMX history and it is British moment at that – a fitting end to our print history.” – George Marshall

Ten Trick Tuesday – Vince Smith

April 22, 2015

It’s been a while since we’ve seen some fresh footage from Vince Smith, but he’s back and crushing it after beating cancer! Check out some front brake magic from a DIY spot!

“Vince Smith brings his unique style to a super-cool DIY spot in Ohio built by local skaters and bmx riders. Hitting it right after a rain allows him to get in a good ride in all by himself. As you can see, the standing water in spots made some tricks more challenging, but Vince powered through and made this video clip happen with some Nosepicks, 360s, toothpicks, smiths, and full cabs, not to mention Brett Rohlfing behind the camera.”
