Making of En Islande avec Anton Arnarson

February 14, 2014

Did you catch the En Islande aver Anton Arnarson video we posted up the other day? Hadrien Picard had a bunch of behind the scenes footage from the making of the video for you to check out. There’s some real good riding footage, some funny out takes, and cool lifestyle shots that didn’t make the cut for the actual video still worth seeing!

“The video « Bmx in Iceland » with Anton Arnarson has inspired your curiosity ? You want to know more on this big boy fed by metan and dry fish ? You want to smell the sulfur, see more lunar landscape and have a look behind the magical trick of hadrien picard ? This making off might fullfill you…well, maybe not the sulfur, lucky you.“

Northside – -20 Sessions

February 14, 2014

The weather might be cold over in Finland, but they’re keeping the sessions hot indoors! Check out this mix edit that Eki Vainikka put together for EpicTV! Tons of goodness in this!

“The Finnish winter poses some obvious problems to any local athletes who aren’t hockey players, downhill skiers, ski jumpers, or biathletes — you know, rifle and skis. First and foremost, the cold, which regularly dips into the negative double digits, and that’s Fahrenheit, bro. When it gets this cold, the tough get going. BMXers, on the other hand, head indoors to cozy, well-heated skate parks like the Sokeva indoor park in Southern Finland. Check out this session with some of the country’s best riders as they dismantle the ramps and fun boxes. Don’t miss young Jopi Toijonen’s briflip at the 1:00 mark.“

Juke – Cruisin’ in the Filth

February 14, 2014

Here’s a bunch of random and raw clips from a trip to California some of the Juke guys took! Looks like they came across plenty of spots during their visit! Take a peek!

“Gave Odoyle the trusty Kodak Playsport for a while, and this is stuff he recorded and edited. 505 tippin’.
Riders: Odoyle, Gonz, Kris, Kyle, Punkin’, Tbow… I feel like that’s it.
Everybody here, plus Johnny Atencio, had helped record too.“

Honey BMX – Rome

February 14, 2014

Here’s a fresh one from Honey BMX that might raise some questions…. Last winter during the Simple Session, Timmo Haapalainen and his girlfriend decided to go to Rome for a few days to check out the spots and film for this video! Now, based off all of this it looks like Rome has a lot to offer. What I can’t figure out is that he didn’t see a single rider, skateboarder… or even a scooter!?

“Still I didn’t see any other bmx rider or skater there. Not even a single scooter kid. All the ledges were clean from wax and there were no tire marks anywhere.”

Is Rome some sort of untapped spot that nobody thinks of going to? Read a little more about this video right here, then book your flights!

Dan Kruk Bike Check

February 13, 2014

If Dan Kruk isn’t a name that’s on your radar just yet, I’d suggest you get familiar because based off his latest video for Stolen, he’s been progressing so fast and dropping some serious hammers out on the streets lately. After checking out his latest video, we hit Dan up to see what was new and he mentioned that he was just about to build up a fresh setup thanks to a new shipment of goodies from Madera. We figured that was perfect enough timing to take a closer look at his dialed new unit and find out what else he has going on these days! Let’s take a peek at his bike, then watch that new edit (again) at the bottom of this to see just what I’m talking about!

Name: Dan Kruk
