Paul Thoelen 2023

January 24, 2023

Paul Thoelen coming through with a fresh heater!

Over the years we’ve learned Paul Thoelen is definitely a guy that delivers whenever his name pops up on a new video. Here’s a fresh 7 minute banger filled with dialed riding from parks to street spots, and even a little dirt action as well. Paul brings a good mix of tricks, along with plenty of style and boost! Hit play and check out what he cooked up!

“When a rider gets the stamp of approval from the Fast and Loose crew, you know you’re in the presence of a transition great. Germany’s Paul Thoelen is just that. We always enjoy seeing new footage from Paul, but this fresh 6 and a half minute visual feast with Felix Prangenberg behind the lens really hits the spot. Soundtrack on point also.” – DIG

“As soon as Paul moved to Cologne it was clear to us that we needed to film a video part together. It didn’t work out as quick as we would have liked due to both of us traveling a lot but every time we were home at the same time we tried to go out on a filming mission. Being more used to filming and riding street it was such a breath of fresh air seeing Paul boost some quarter pipes or just shred anything else you put in front of him with ease. I feel like over the past 4 years or so he fully grew into his own style of riding and he blows my mind every time I see him ride. Thanks for trusting me with this project Paul!

Also thanks to Vans, kunstform BMX Shop and TSG for supporting us with this project.” – Felix Prangenberg

Check out highlights from the Performance Street Jam in Paris!

Whenever there’s a street jam in a city like Paris, France, you know it’s going to be a wild one. The Performance BMX crew rounded up the sponsors and threw a big one in Paris recently, with a full day of riding, good times and even premiered their latest full-length video. Here’s a little over 20 minutes worth of highlights from the day for you to check out. Get on that play button!

“Back in September last year, our friends at Performance BMX organized a street jam in Paris, France with the support from the likes of Traffic Distribution (with WeThePeople and Eclat), RedBull, Le Comptoir Bike Shop and crews. The resulting day turned out pretty wild and so much good riding went down. But this event wasn’t only a street jam, it also played host to the premiere for their latest full-length video, “Boulevard” which you can also see on DIG soon.” – DIG

Andy Maguire – Over The Hill

January 23, 2023

Andy Maguire dropped a new 23 minute mix from the San Jose crew.

We’re always stoked when Andy Maguire drops a new video. Here’s a fresh one he put together with over 20 minutes of footage he collected while out riding with friends around the San Jose area. This has a ton of real solid riding with a laid back vibe, making for a real good watch. Get on that play button and take a look!

““Over the hill” is a common phrase in Santa Cruz used to refer to the 20-30 minute drive over the winding and often heavily trafficked Highway 17 into San Jose. For many locals, San Jose might as well be the other side of the world. “Over the hill” is also an expression used to describe someone as passed their prime. A few weeks shy of turning 37 and still riding BMX, I sometimes feel this way as the sessions get shorter, my muscles get more sore, and the time to ride gets fewer and far between. However, the last two years have left me very energized to ride as a way to maintain friendships, fulfill goals, and bring positivity to a world that seems to get bleaker by the day. This video celebrates the many trips over the hill by either myself or my riding homies that live on the other side, and to appreciate the greater world outside of our respective bubbles. Finally, the passing of our beloved BMX brother, Jeff Murphy, further helped me respect the precious moments we create on our bikes, as well as the love the BMX community brings to help us through even some of the darkest times. Thanks for watching!” – Andy Maguire
