Red Bull – Dreamline 2014 Preparation
With Dreamline only a few days away, Red Bull dropped this video giving us some insight into just how gnarly this contest really is from the perspective of Corey Bohan, Anthony Napolitan, Cory Nastazio, TJ Ellis, Mike “Hucker” Clark, Joey Cordova, Matt Cordova and Pat Casey! We haven’t heard or seen anything from the course yet, but we know it’s going to be insane. Get psyched!
Collapsing Into The Whatever: Matt Coplon
To celebrate the release of Matt Coplon’s new book, “Collapsing Into The Whatever”, he went out and stacked a ton of clips for a new video that helps to represent what BMX has done for him not only from a riding perspective, but a writing perspective as well! Watch the video above (which kicks a lot of ass) then find out more about the book below!
“Collapsing into the Whatever started out as a pipe dream. A blog post. That turned into two. That soon tripled.
16 months later, I had compiled almost 45 short non-fiction vignettes: of false possession, electricity poaching, of run-ins with satanists, urban myth, of travels through Europe within the 90’s punk scene, stories of the incredibly mundane, stories of absolute absurdity, of life and death in Tampa.
Today, almost three years down the creative road, the blog morphed from the digital ether into a 206 page, physical, printed book.
One that, I’m happy to say, is available as of today.
Why this Bmx edit?
Within the writing process, riding, for me, was a core component. In order to brainstorm, in order to write, and finally, in order to edit, the almost daily sessions through Tampa, combined with a very fortunate travel schedule through Profile, worked as the impetus for continuing the arduous process.
Beyond that, like the 40 personal tales in CITW, each of these clips contains its own story. From a basic aluminum rail, off limits for forever until the city’s morgue closed and moved locations. To a handful of spots on both the east and west coast I had always, for years, anticipated riding (thankfully I got to them this summer). To the last clip: A rail hop in my neighborhood that I’d passed for over a decade. After having nightmares about giving it a go, I finally did so, making myself run at it on my 37th birthday.
Enjoy…..
If you’re interested, Collapsing into the Whatever is now available.

Thanks for reading. Thanks for watching. And thanks to these people/companies for years of support:
Profile Racing, Deco Bmx, Adi Gilbert and Folklore brand, and to all my friends who are always down for a good session.
Besides the several tripod shots, thanks to these folks for additional filming (I always hate to ask): David Gibson, Matt Arnold, Steve Caro, Zach Rogers, Dillon Leeper, Mark Mulville, and Jared Eberwein.
***The song I chose for this edit, Combat Wounded Veteran’s “And now that I’m cornered by Vermin,” has an integrated story: The drummer, J.H., was the catalyst for CITW on a visit to his house back in 2011. A great story teller, I’m indebted to his knowledge and whit. A more detailed story is included in the introduction to the book.
Thank You.” – Matt Coplon
Colony – Brandon Van Dulken 2014 Edit
Wow… Colony‘s Brandon Van Dulken coming in with some SERIOUS cement park destruction! Check out some heavy clips he stacked at a handful of parks as part of a promo for his signature Roaster bars (which, the name, makes total sense after seeing this video) that are out now!
“Brandon spent a week travelling around Oregon riding some amazing parks and camping in some great locations, here is the video from the trip that was shot and cut by Shawn Duffield.
Brandon’s signature Roaster bars are now available worldwide.”
Milwaukee Estabrook Jam Edit
This past weekend there was a jam at the Estabrook DIY spot out in Milwaukee to try and get one last proper session in with everyone before the weather hits the fan! Check out a bunch of highlights from the day from Tim Knoll, Jeff Dowhen, Glenn Salyers, Grant Castelluzzo, Dylan McCauley and more! Looks like it was a good day to me!

“BMXer Jason Eustathiou has been in England for a minute filming with the rest of the Federal crew for the new ‘Brighton Ain’t Ready’ project. When he got back to his native Greece, filmmaker Ronny Skvs spent a few hours with him at the new Oaka skatepark in Athens and captured ten super smooth tricks from the greek street master.” – Epic TV
