Day Trippin’

June 20, 2013

This is pretty rad. These guys hit up an abandoned island (Alcatraz? I don’t think so… but maybe?) just off of San Francisco for a day of BMX some untapped spots. They didn’t get a ton of clips, but they definitely got a few that you can check out in this video!

“We found ourselves waking up early, day trippin, taking ferrys to secluded places where few have rode 20’s before. It was a tight schedule due to Ferry departure times, and not the best place to get injured (like there ever is one). Most of our time was spent in search of new spots and ducking the police, who were heavy on our case since we stepped foot on the foreign land. We had an injury early in the day that killed the vibe but later we found our spirits rising again.” – Terry Barentsen

Mathew Gistinger – Riding The Park in 100 Degree Weather

June 20, 2013

Riding The Park in 100 Degree Weather from Mathew Gistinger on Vimeo.

Mathew Gistinger, of Tech As Shit and The Foot High Ledge League, is back with a new edit of himself and 2 friends. It has all of the insanely technical and creative grind combos that you would hope for, plus what looks to be a triple crankflip! Even in slow motion it’s hard to keep track, but I’m 99% sure they went around 3 times.

TCU – Scott Ditchburn: The Switcheroo (X Up grind to un-x) Hard 180

June 20, 2013

Check out Scott Ditchburn doing a really uncommon trick with ease. I know I saw one of these in some Russian video a few years ago (sans hard 180), which is when my good friend and I began doing them. Other than that video, and my friends edit a while back, I’ve never seen it on video again for years. Maybe now that a popular pro did one they’ll begin popping up more. This very well may be the first one ever taken to 180.

Red Bull – Garrett Reynolds’ Ultimate Challenge Contest

June 20, 2013

Ever wish that you could ride with Garrett Reynolds? Well, here is your chance… maybe. Why maybe? Because the contest is only open to residents of Arkansas, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. I have no idea why either, but if you are in one of those states, I’d suggest you hit this link and follow the very simple instructions.
