Fast & Loose BMX Jam @ Northbridgade

February 1, 2023

Summer memories from the Fast and Loose Jam in Cologne!

Here’s one that’s a few months behind, but this past summer the Fast and Loose squad threw a jam at the Northbridgade park in Cologne, Germany. Here’s a look at all of the riding and good times that were had. Check it!

“The @FastandLooseBMXCrew threw a jam at @northbrigade1988skatepark in Cologne, Germany. Here’s what went down!

We vaguely remember: Last summer, the Fast & Loose Crew jammed in Cologne’s Northbrigade under the patronage of Pennywise noble fan Paul Thölen.

In order to capture this major social event for posterity, we sent one of our hottest horses into the race, Heavybikingclub mastermind Angelo Kurtz. It took him a really long time to finish the video, but it was definitely worth the wait! But see for yourself…

The Fast & Loose Jam in the Northbrigade was supported by @vans, @kunstform and @ridetsg7600.

Brian Tunney – January 2023 Clips

February 1, 2023

It’s February 1st and Brian Tunney is on top of it!

If there’s one person we can count on to remind us that it’s a new month, it’s Brian Tunney thanks to his monthly edits. Not only is he on top of dropping edits on the 1st of every month, but he’s going into the 5th year of consistency! Here’s a look at what he got into during his flatland sessions over the course of January! No shortage of rad clips to see, so get on that play button and enjoy!

“Welcome to another year of me getting older and riding in my garage. If you’ve made it this far, I applaud you. To start the new year, I had no big plans or ideas to really charge into (I am not a new year, new you person.) Instead, I figured I would l just see what happened and go with it. Around the start of the new year, I was messing with double and one and a half tailwhips/pinky squeaks in the garage and so I decided to just devote a lot of time to that position and all of the places it could take me.

Not surprising, it can get you into a lot of places. But, it’s definitely a use your front brake in tight circumstance trick since my brakeless pinky squeaks take up about 10-15 feet of travel per tailwhip. So the plan went awry once the bike without brakes came out and I ultimately decided that too much structure around riding isn’t a good thing. (says the guy who committed three years to undertakers…)

I also edited out a few clips that were basically done cause I wanted to ride even though the wind, wet weather and cold got in the way. So this is absent three tricks that were done outside in the bleak Texas winter and you don’t have to thank me for saving your time.

Bottom line: welcome to year 5 of monthly videos. Thanks as always for watching.” – Brian Tunney

January 31, 2023

Check out the last chance qualifier for the BMX Triple Challenge in Anaheim!

This past weekend the 2023 BMX Triple Challenge series kicked off in Anaheim, California. Yesterday we got a look at the 40 riders that dropped in for the Qualifiers. Now we get a look at the Last Chance Qualifier where they narrowed it down from 18 riders to the riders that would be making it into the finals. You better believe these guys were going off to make it in.

“Last chance qualifiers at The Triple challenge [Semifinals] were something else…The level of riding was nuts and on top of that, the consistency of these mind melters is beyond mind-blowing. Hit play and see how the event played out.

Stay tuned as we roll out event coverage from this past weekend at stop one in Anaheim, CA. Contest format: Three runs, Best run counts.

Finals coverage coming soon. Thanks to Monster Energy and Supercross for putting this event on.” – Our BMX

Bonehouse – 50 Shades of Clay

January 31, 2023

If you’re looking for a new trails video, this is the one to see!

Now this is what we’re talking about! The Bonehouse crew released their new “50 Shades of Clay” video that is over 20 minutes of trails gold from some of the U.K’s finest trails spots. Everything from the riding to the spots to the film work are on point. If you like trails riding, this is an absolute MUST SEE that you won’t want to miss. Check it!

“Grab a brew, get comfy and enjoy over 20 minutes of UK trails. Filmed during 2022 predominately at Fox Hill, Sheet, Digswell, Wisley and Birchwood trails – featuring over 30 rad dudes shredding bikes! What started off as filming the odd bit here and there between laps, snowballed into something much more and I hope it delivers some winter motivation to the apes that are sluggin it in the woods, dialling in their slice of paradise.

Huge thanks to the spots that let me film, the trail locals for their yearly graft and all the riders I crossed paths with old and new. You all kept the stoke high.

Last Days Of Penn Skate

January 31, 2023

After 25 years, Penn Skate has closed its doors for good.

It’s always a bummer hearing about a park closing its doors, especially a park like Penn Skate that has been a go to park for East Coast riders for the past 25 years. Here’s a video Nilo Hodge put together from some of the final riding sessions that went down in the Little Devil Bowl and all over the rest of the park. It’s safe to say this place will be missed by many. Check out what went down during these farewell sessions.

“Penn Skate was one of the oldest, if not the oldest, indoor skate parks on the East Coast. After 25 years they closed their doors on January 1st, 2023. This video was filmed during the last few sessions at the park.
ECD Will Never Die!
Filmed and edited by Nilo Hodge. Additional filming by Dustin Clewell and Jarrett Dillman.” – Nilo Hodge
