Head over to the DIG website for a fresh round of High Fives with Cult‘s Timmy Theus!
From Europe with Love Teaser
Spotted this over on Flat Matters and was digging it. Jim McKay has been on the move lately and ended up stacking up a ton of footage from the different events he hit up. If this nearly 5 minute video is just a teaser… Imagine how much more he is sitting on?
“I know, a 5 minute edit doesn’t sound like a teaser, but you wouldn’t believe how much more footage I have. Filmed in Solothurn, Switzerland at the Bike Days contest, and FISE in Montpellier, France by Jim McKay.”

Monster – Recon Tour: Round 5 – The Animal House
The next stop of the Monster Recon Tour landed in Greenville, North Carolina where Daniel Dhers opened up the doors of The Animal House for all the young guns to come through and show everyone what they had. Take a look at what went down in this video!
“The Monster Army Recon Tour presented by Replay XD, held the East Coast Finals at the Animal House in Greenville, NC. The Animal house has been around since the mid 00’s and was owned and operated by the great, Dave Mirra. Now in 2013, pro BMX athlete Daniel Dhers has control of the Animal House. Daniel rides and trains at this facility and also operates the park. All of the athletes were ecstatic to be able to compete in a park where legends like Mirra and Dhers train on a daily basis.
The event was amazing throughout the day and a magnitude of huge tricks were being thrown down. Athletes were putting their bodies on the line trying to gain the top spot in their division. In order to take the top spot athletes were throwing tricks like front flips, double whips, 720s, and more to give them the edge. In the Play Open division, Jake Leiva, traveling all the way from Tehachapi, CA, ended up walking away with 1st place and the honor of getting invited to the Play Open Finals at Mike Spinner’s park on September 7th. Jake was riding on another level than the field and even the great, Dave Mirra was on hand to witness the magic of his riding. We now know why Greenville, NC has been named Pro Town USA, and we wish Jake the best of luck on becoming the next great rider of our time.“

You can find out more about these bars right here.
First Look: Kuba Cerski
I first saw Kuba Cerski ride a few years back when he came up for a BV Jam I threw with the Chicago crew. The kid was real good then and it looks like he hasn’t slowed down one bit since. Check out this new edit of him showing you what he’s got at a few parks, street spots and a trails spot around Chicago. Good stuff!
“Chicago transplant (born in Poland) and all around good guy Kuba Cerski shreds!!! Dirt, park or street… Kuba can drop bangers on them all. He loves going big, throwing bars, and cranking out tailwhips all in one line. These clips are all from the Summer of 2012 and were filmed just for fun. Enjoy!!” – Corban Burns
