Check out this split edit they just released to celebrate their 45th birthdays! It’s so rad seeing these “old guys” still doing it at 45 with no slowing down in their near future.

Ride BMX – “A Moment In BMX ” Around the World Photo Project
This is awesome! Ride BMX had a bunch of riders and photographers go to work at the exact same time all across the world to get a photo at approximately the same time. This is the results… Needless to say, this was probably a ton of work to make happen, but it turned out awesome. Enjoy!
“For our March/April issue, we contacted our contributing photographers with an idea…an idea to shoot a photo at a specific time on a specific day. The goal was to show a glimpse at the sheer amount of BMX that happens all over the country (and world). The results we got back were more than we hoped for. 16 photographers from 10 different cities came together to shoot for this project and it’s almost staggering to realize that it all happened at the same exact time. Thank you to everyone (see below) who took part in the project…maybe we’ll do another next year?
If you want the full story and back story on a lot of the photos, please pick up the Mar/Apr issue of the mag. Worth the read, promise.
Thanks to the following people:
Dirt Ron, Justin Kosman, Chad Kerley, Brandon Means, Gary Young, Doeby, Stevie Churchill, Scott Marceau, Tony Neyer, Aaron Brenner, Chris Mortenson, Eric Bahlman, Sam Buros, Spencer Lee, Ted Van Orman, Mike Meister, Anton Zamora, Kareem Williams, Tristan Afre, Charlie Crumlish, Sandy Carson, Aaron Ross, Devon Hutchins, Darryl Tocco, Marc Meeuwissen, Josh McElwee, Billy Perry, Nick Jones, Dennis Enarson, Ruben Alcantara, Christian Rigal, and Vincent Perraud”
Demolition – Chris Doyle and Aaron Smith Winter Edit
Riding out the winter can be a painful one when you’re stuck in the cold and snow. Luckily for Aaron Smith and Chris Doyle they have Rye Airfield and The Wheel Mill to keep the BMX sessions going! Check out this video Demolition just dropped featuring both of these guys throwing down! Needless to say, this is one video worth checking out!
“Winters in the northeastern United States can be long and cruel… this past winter has been particularly merciless. Therefore, myself and long time friend and teammate, Aaron Smith decided to get together with Lee Hopkins to film an edit to highlight how so many BMXers stay on their bikes while living in a cold climate. The whole edit was to take place at Aaron’s home park in Rye, NH, Rye Airfield. True to form, a day into filming, a blizzard came and rocked the northeast, causing a massive shutdown of business and travel and we could not finish the edit at Rye as planned. When I was finally able to make it back home to Pittsburgh, I decided to round out the edit by filming a few clips at my local indoor facility, The Wheel Mill. Now, enjoy this short edit and let’s embrace spring and warmer temps but always remember to support your local indoor parks! A special thanks to The Wheel Mill and Rye Airfield!” – Chris Doyle
