Red Bull just sent through the teaser for the “Tip To Tail” series that will be dropping in a four part series every Thursday starting… Tomorrow? This is the teaser to give us a brief look at what we will be treated to over the next few weeks! So stoked for this.

Travelling 3,200km from the ‘Tip‘ of the North Island to the ‘Tail‘ of the South in just two RV‘s and a Land Rover, the crew‘s mission is to shred as many concrete parks, bowls, dirt trails and vert ramps as they can, with a few extra adventures along the way.
This BMX madness is Red Bull Tip To Tail.”
Props – Issue 57: The Shadow Conspiracy’s “Kidnapped” Commercial
Damn… This takes us WAY BACK! It’s crazy that this appeared in an issue of Props over 10 years ago already! This was one of the first ads for The Shadow Conspiracy before anyone really knew anything about it, or what it was. Needless to say, a commercial like this really caught a ton of peoples attention and it’s been going strong ever since! So psyched it landed online…
Who can name all the pros from the original team featured in this video? Let us know in the comments!
“This was a wild ad from The Shadow Conspiracy that appeared in Props Issue 57, circa 2005. Shadow team riders are kidnapped and tortured by being forced to watch mainstream media propaganda on a television set, only to be inexplicably set free to wander a warehouse where they are ultimately drawn to the very television they were being tortured with. Probably the first time an Issue ad reached this level of cinematic action, featuring a dramatic theme, lighting, camera moves and acting from riders.”
Kink – One Hit Wednesday: Aaron Smith
Kink dropped this weeks One Hit Wednesday and it features a gnarly clip from Aaron Smith doing a wall ride down in Texas. This one would be super scary once… Can’t imagine having to do it twice! Check it!
“This was the final clip filmed during the making of Squash It. Aaron was in Austin for the last bit of filming and happened to get his ender on the last day of his trip. This part of town is extremely busy and campus police in Austin are notorious when it comes to BMX, so needless to say, we were happy to get out of there with a crazy clip and no police or security. Shout out to Kurtis Elwell on this one. Boss. ”
Morgan Wade Bike Check
Morgan Wade has always had some really interesting bike setups over the year, not necessarily because he runs brakes and a gyro still (which kicks ass), but usually the color is pretty noticeable! The guys over at Hoffman Bikes just dropped a bike check with Morgan giving us a current look at his bright red Lady Luck setup that is looking so damn good! Get a closer look at this BMX bike right here!
