The latest BMX Videos, Products and News!
In Freegun’s newest online ad promoting their Flatland team, I noticed that Tyler Gilliard was listed as part of the pro team. I checked with him, and it’s no typo. He has been repping them for a few years on a flow basis, but now he’s running with the big dogs. Congrats!
Here’s a Throw Back Thursday worth seeing! Now through June 5th, Mat Hoffman will be uploading over sections from the CFB contests from back in the day for us to enjoy! I know all you old guys checking this out will be stoked. I definitely advise some of you younger guys to take a peek at these since there’s A LOT of history behind how BMX is done these days from these contests! This first one from the Merritt Island contest back in 2000 is an hour of pure BMX goodness!
“Pro Competitions: CFB Merritt Island FL, air date: 4.21.00
Vert, Park, Dirt, Flatland
Another Perspective:
True Street Riding
How to transform anyplace into a dirt mecca (9th Street)

1. CFB Merrit Island FL 2- 24/27.00
Every Thursday from today ‘til the X Games in Austin (June 5th (11 weeks)) I’m going to share a free download of one of the episodes of the Crazy Freakin Biker Contests Series between 2000 and 2004. Each one is about an hour, so pull up a chair, or get some friends together and check out some of the greatest BMX moments, history and heart that help defined our lives and influenced who we are.
This CFB goes back to 2.24/27.00 at the Paradise Funplex in Merrit Island FL. The Pro Contest are Vert, Park, Dirt and Flatland. I also I made some other features between the contests to show what our sport looks like outside of competitions and called it “Another Perspective”. Those sections in this episode are “True Street Riding”, “How to transform anyplace into a dirt jump Mecca (9th street)” and “Hanging with Evel Knievel”.
peace, love, bmx!” -Mat Hoffman
Wethepeople‘s Mikey “Smallfry” Almadovar has been on it lately! Check out this new video of him, along with a few friends, putting in work on a few of the spots they came across during their recent visit to Arizona! Real good!
Filmed by Nick Jones
Hooooooly hell… I knew Paul Shariff was good, but DAMN is this video out of control. This video progressively gets gnarlier and gnarlier, so I would advise you watch the whole thing to prepare yourself for the hammers at the end. This kid kills it on a BMX bike!
“Fifteen year old Paul Shariff has been putting in hard work for the past few months in order to put out this edit. From huge roof drops to super clean smooth riding, this kid can do it all. Aside from a few clips in Texas, this whole edit was filmed in Northern California.
Filmed and Edited by Kevin Johnson.
Audio: Painted Palms.”
Take a look at Jake Seeley putting all four of his pegs and freecoaster to heavy use in this new video for The Garden! Damn good.
Don’t forget! The Nowear Bring Your Own Bike contest series kicks off in just under a month! Hit up their Facebook Events Page for full details! This will undoubtably be a good time, so make sure you make it out!
The guys over at Ride UK caught up with Sean Kelly at the New Castle skatepark to film this edit in one session. Needless to say, Sean came through with some dialed riding with plenty of nose balance for us to take a look at! Hit that play button!
Here’s a 13 minute mixtape from the Dingers crew for you guys to enjoy! This video has a real laid back, good times feel and is well worth hitting the play button on! Take a peek!
