Inside Justin Schwanke’s Backyard BMX Paradise

January 14, 2015

When you watch as many videos as we do, you eventually start to take notice of some pretty unique spots and setups that keep popping up in videos. Over time, we have seen a handful of videos from Justin Schwanke that has featured his crazy backyard ramp setup out in Alberta, Canada that has been pieced together over the years from skateparks that closed down, events that no longer happen and whatever wood him and his friends could come across. We were curious what the story was behind the setup and figured it would be cool to get in touch with Justin to talk a little bit about his backyard BMX paradise that he calls home! We even have a brand new video giving us a little tour to go with this that you can check out above! After you watch that, check out the interview after the jump!

January 14, 2015

Despite having a broken arm, Chandler Golden was still able to pound out some damn good clips at the Chandler park down in Arizona!

“Went out to Arizona for two weeks again. Was looking forward to filming another edit with Chandler for a year and a week before i go out there this year he tells me he broke his arm. I was bummed out, but he was down to film anyways. Check this kid out he just turned 18 and is killing it with a cast on his arm. Dedication.
