Ant Life – Cali Ting

February 20, 2015

Some of the Ant Life crew made their way out of the frozen tundra of Canada to Los Angeles for some sunshine, spots and partying. Check out this video they dropped giving us a look at their trip!

“Phil Bartlett, Jordan Hickey, Ryan Antle and I took a vacation to LA for a couple of weeks. Dave Scott flew down from BC and met us out there. As we spent our days cruising LA and surrounding areas these dudes totally killed it followed by many long nights that nobody except Jordan remembers.

Simone-Barraco-on-GoPro-BMX

It looks like Simone Barraco has found himself a new sponsor! GoPro just announced that they have added Simone to their team! We don’t know if we completely agree with that caption since he’s more than promising… He IS one of the best street riders in the world! Hopefully this means we’ll have a TON of footage of Simone coming out in the future thanks to those little cameras…

The Union 2015 Winter Session – Riding Video

February 20, 2015

For 2015, we decided to change up the way we do our annual event at Over The Top Skatepark at Bluff Valley Campground in Zumbro Falls, Minnesota. Instead of our traditional contest which was always pretty rad, we decided to throw a big session instead. The goal was to bring together a ton of riders for a full day of riding and hook them up with free product from our sponsors! Needless to say, we had a great turn out and everyone had a damn good time! Here’s a video from the riding that went down. We have a second video from Footdown, the Vert Wall Challenge, Arm Wrestling, The Sprinter Battle and the product toss that you can check out below!

Filmed and edited by Kurt Hohberger

We would like to give a HUGE shout out to all of the sponsors and everyone that turned out to make this one happen!

Can’t go wrong with a few banger clips from Jack Elkins’ section in the Fit Bike Co. “Holy Fit” video for you to enjoy! Josh ain’t scared to take a big drop and has some real good whip control. Check it!

“The man in white. Fit’s OZ connection, Jack Elkins has pop beyond belief (that first clip) and his section in Holy Fit was one of the most well-rounded in the bunch. Take a look at five clips from his section and get yourself a copy of Holy Fit if you haven’t already.” – Ride BMX

Lessons Like These: Jeff Kocsis

February 20, 2015

The guys over at DIG just dropped this rad new video giving us some insight into Jeff Kocsis’ first visit to Tel Aviv, Israel! Check out the video, then check out the full story and photos right here!

“Here’s some brief insight into Jeff Kocsis’s journey across the Atlantic Ocean with longtime friend Conall Keenan to an unfamiliar land with unfamiliar politics. None of that unfamiliarity really matters, though, in a world where your bike can be a tool that transcends all of that and more, where fellow bike riders are instant friends, no matter where off the beaten path you may end up wandering.
