Glenn Salyers riding is always evolving and changing it seems like. Not to say that’s a bad thing because it’s always progressive and it seems like he’s one of those well rounded dudes that can pretty much destroy anything from ramps to trails to rails. This video for Redline shows that he’s been real into pushing himself on rails lately. He’s added a few pegs and put them all to real good use for this new one. Take a look!
Red Bull Flow Summer Holiday Challenge
Red Bull Flow have a new video contest for you guys to get in on with Rich Forne, Peter Adam, Juliet Elliot, Ryan Hallett, Will Evans and Kriss Kyle as the judges. Above is an example from Peter Adam of what they’re looking for and a full details on the contest below! Get in on this.
“Red Bull Flow is an iPhone and Android app built for the BMX and skateboarding community to film and share their tricks. With Instagram Video and Vine already catering for moving images in the social media world, what’s Flow’s USP? That it can stitch together complete films from user-uploaded tricks, without the need for any video editing software or any prior editing knowledge. Red Bull Flow also ensures that the millions of clips filmed every day help BMXers and skaters get better at their sport as well as helping to share clips with friends.
“We were tasked to build Red Bull Flow to be the best way for BMXers and Skateboarders to share their tricks,” says Jonathan Attenborough of Sidekick Studios, who designed the app. “Individual clips are filmed and uploaded with the app. Clips are tagged with the rider, trick and spot. The app then creates edits by stitching the clips together around a tag – which we call Flows. It’s pretty exciting because the app can make lots of different films depending on the tags.”
Throughout August, some of the UK’s best BMX filmers – Rich Forne, Peter Adam, Juliet Elliot, Ryan Hallett and Will Evans – have been challenged to make a creative film of between 15-to-20 clips. How they use the edit-free platform, and what their films end up being about, is up to them.
And from Saturday 3rd August Red Bull is inviting the public to use the Flow app to create innovative bmx and skate riding films without any editing experience required. Users are asked to upload films of between 15-to-20 clips using the tag “Your name + PhoneEdit” (eg: if your name is Joe Bloggs, the tag would be JoeBloggsPhoneEdit). Three of the best filmers – as decided by pro BMXer Kriss Kyle – will then earn a unique, Red Bull-inspired day-out at one of the UK’s biggest BMX events at Birmingham’s NEC on 29th September.
“Making a bmx or skate edit on a phone couldn’t be easier,” says Peter Adam, one of the UK’s most respected BMX film-makers. “There’s no need to carry around a heavy bag of the latest expensive camera equipment, just take your phone out of your pocket and start shooting. You can upload directly from your phone too, and the only editing you do is to trim the clips – the app edits them together – so you’re only limited by your imagination.” Check out Peter’s own Flow above.

Caleb Quaneck – Longest Nose Manual Ever?
The nose manual wizard, Caleb Quanbeck, came through with a wild hop to nose manual in this parking lot that’s definitely gotta be pushing some sort of records. I’m not sure if it’s the longest since I’ve seen a few that could compete with this one, but maybe? Either way, I think Caleb could go even further if he really wanted so I’m sure this isn’t the last time we see him push things. Spotted on TCU.
Radio Bikes – Backyard Mini Ramp Session with Christopher Werner
Here’s a real good one from Radio Bikes featuring Chritopher Werner building up a fresh setup then getting wild on one hell of a mini ramp in Chemnitz, Germany. The intro is a little long, but once the riding starts you’ll be stoked on what goes down. Check it out!
My Five: Daniel Dhers
Alli Sports caught up with Daniel Dhers for a fresh round of My Five. Daniel talks a little bit about different things like some good advice and languages he speaks along with some dialed riding from the Animal House. Take a peek!
“Daniel Dhers is arguably one of the best BMX riders on the scene right now. Dhers has the tech skills and the ability to go big that make him one of the most entertaining guys to watch. Dhers also happens to be a pretty rad guy who finds inspiration wherever he goes, and loves the advice “At the end its always worth it.” Check out what riders get him amped, and why he loves competing all over the world in this My Five!“
Brandon Derbowka – No Handed Whiplash
I’ve come to accept that anytime Effraim posts up a must see over on Flat Matters the video will make me say “what the hell?” at least once. This quick clip of Brandon Derbowka doing a no handed whiplash is a perfect example. The video is a little rough and in all honesty it doesn’t really look that crazy, but if you think about the fact that he is doing a no handed nose manual and then whips the bike around keeping his balance is absolute madness. Take a peek!
Suburbisode 2 – Glenview
Here’s another Suburbisode featuring Joe Battaglia tearing up one of his local parks. Short and sweet! Take a peek.
