Red Bull – Ride and Seek: Open Air

August 6, 2013

Maybe it’s because I’ve been getting more and more into motorcycles lately or if it’s just because this series is going to be absolutely stacked, but I’m pumped about this Red Bull Ride and Seek series dropping. Check out part one which introduces you to the plan and a bit of a bio on Corey Martinez!

“In the season premiere of Ride and Seek, Corey Martinez talks about how his passion for riding started, his family life and past adventures. Stay along for the journey as Corey Martinez and friends take a trip to ride, camp and enjoy the open air.“

Lake Jump

August 6, 2013

Anthony Laconte just sent through this rad video he put together from some of the lake jumping sessions they’ve been getting on Lake Michigan this summer! This honestly looks amazing right now since it’s going to be a hot one here today!

“It’s a wild and fun scene here in Chicago. Winters are miserable and so are the summers. As BMX riders, we have to find ways of using the weather to our advantage.
A group of BMX friends have made it summer tradition to launch their bikes off a homemade kicker at North Ave beach. Many riders around the area look forward to this Sunday sunrise session.
I finally made it out to one of these awesome get togethers and documented the fun that was had. I’m glad I went with on this day because these guys made a jump they’ve been planning for a while. We were limited to one jump because of severity of the premisis, but Alex Bedoya sent one and boy was it a good one! (last clip)

Shark Bite Week

August 6, 2013

In honor of Shark Week on the Discovery Channel, I just came up with the idea of launching BMX’s own week dedicated to the Shark Bite pedal from Odyssey and the Bear Trap pedal since that’s just as gnarly! We’ve got some awesome discussions going on over on our Facebook Page for you guys to hear and share your stories from Shark Bite (or Bear Traps) attacks that you gotta check out! Get in on it!

Deluxe – “Part Deux” – Peynier

August 6, 2013

Tuesdays have been so much better thanks to Deluxe uploading their “Part Deux” DVD! This week they’ve got the Peynier section featuring the team all putting down some amazing riding at this dialed spot! Absolute MUST SEE. Hit that play button!

“For this part, the team travelled down through France to rendezvous at one of the best spots around, and venue of the annual Kill The Line jam, Peynier Trails. These trails are so local to Max that he can see them from his house – so it made sense to kick off the French Trip there.
Following a big rainstorm, however, the place was flooded – but the team got to work and within a couple hours the place was running fast.
For our second full-length film, we decided to mix things around from Welcome To Deluxe. This time out we ventured to some choice spots that our team riders created and nurture on a daily basis – from Southern California to Pennsylvania, from the Midlands of England to Southern France. We also took the team on tour to discover new spots, cook up some lines, throw some shovel-loads, and have a good time. Because that’s what we’re all about… enjoy.

Head over to The Merged to get the low down on the new Big Logo tires from Odyssey! I’m digging it. Kind of reminds me of a bigger version of the old Tioga logos.
