Well here’s some interesting news we caught wind of from Vital BMX. It looks like Anthony Napolitan is no longer riding for Red Bull! Definitely a shocker with how much involvement he had with the brand with his Dreamline contest series and everything. Hopefully that continues on at least! Here’s the official word below.

“I will no longer be riding for Red Bull in 2015. I can’t thank them enough for believing in me and giving me all the opportunities that I could’ve never imagined throughout my five year span. I’d like to thank everyone that I’ve worked with over the years for being the raddest humans on the planet.” – Anthony Napolitan

Tampa Bay Riders – Rooster Den Enter 2015

January 27, 2015

You know it’s going to be a good day when you wake up to an email from Matt Coplon that has a new Tampa Bay Riders video in it! Check out this video he put together from a proper session that went down at the Rooster Den down in Florida! This is one hell of backyard ramp setup that looks like a ton of fun to ride! Check out what these guys cooked up during their time there. It’s awesome that there are actually roosters in the yard, too!

“The Rooster Den is the brainchild of Alan Shirley and Steve Osgood.
Tucked in a little oasis in St. Pete, Florida: this is what some time, dedication, blessings from neighbors and $200 can get you constructed in your backyard.
Here’s a collection of clips I grabbed of both locals and visitors over the past couple months.
Thanks to Alan for being a kick ass host.
To many more sessions….
Clips of Steve Osgood, Hunter Vickers, Josh Shaw, Alex Lepak, Mark Mulville, Dre Tylee, Spencer Foresman, Tom Villarreal, Steve Caro, Matt Coplon, Shawn Gomez, Niles Harper, and Sean Yarroll.
Enjoy.” – Matt Coplon
