A Tribute to Riders Lost

October 9, 2013

Oh man, I forgot about this video. Last year at NORA Cup in Vegas, Ride BMX dropped this video to pay tribute to all of the amazing people we lost in 2012. It’s so crazy to think how rough of a year it was and how much each of these people played a big role in BMX. Take a second to watch this and remember. Rest in Peace, guys. We miss you.

“I’m neck-deep in NORA Cup preparation and I realized yesterday that we never posted the tribute video we played before last year’s show. Late 2011 and 2012 was a rough period for BMX, as seemingly one after another, we lose riders and friends. We put this video together to honor the lives of Mike Tag, Dane Searls, Thomas Hancock, Randy Taylor, Mike “MCM” McCafferty, Ricky Bates, and Gary Dimartine and show it to 1500 fellow riders. Even watching it today gets me a little caught up, so you can only imagine how emotional it was the night at NORA. Anyway, even a year later, this is definitely worth putting out there. Rest in peace, boys.

Diversion TV – Terry Adams: History in the Making

October 9, 2013

Here’s a fresh one I spotted over on Flat Matters that’s worth a look. It’s pretty crazy to think about how much has changed for Terry Adams over the last decade. Bobby from Diversion TV caught up with him to talk about the past along with pull out some crazy old footage of Terry to check out. This is awesome.

“I sat down with Terry Adams 10 years after he first appeared in Diversion Video Magazine series in 2003. Since that time, there has been a long list of events and videos that were out of the ordinary “riding edit.” We discuss some highlights over the years including a previously unreleased performance at a red carpet fashion show in Los Angeles for Jennifer Lopez.

Shred Biscuits Vs Burns BMX

October 9, 2013

There’s something magical that happens when you put a bunch of BMXers together in a close proximity and fuel them with beer. It might as well be a full on unicorn situation when you toss Jeff DuPaul in front of a camera and Denny Pascasio into the mix because he’s one of the funniest humans I’ve ever met. This video Collateral dropped is pure comedy.

“Join Denny the Squid and TJD Dupes as they perform some middle class hood antics for Collateral BMX, at Burns BMX in Willimantic, Ct. Tailwhips, crankflips, iphones, ignorance, 4kegs, and Lil Stevie. We got it all for you in the episode of turn up no turn down.
