If you missed it. Don’t forget to check out Kent Pearson’s “So Florida” video!

“For the winter of 2022, we had three of our riders visit Tampa Bay at different times over three, separate, long weekends.
The idea was to take each of them to overlapping spots, where, considering their complete differences in style, each would offer their own unique perspective/interpretation.

The “So Florida” series includes Kent Pearson, Mark Mulville, and RattyMaty.

Episode Two: Mark Mulville (with clips of Luis Pinzon).

Thanks to Luis Pinzon, Ryan Clements and the Boardr for spot hospitality.

Artur Meister – Welcome To Sunday / Odyssey

March 23, 2022

Artur Meister is now doing it for Odyssey and Sunday Bikes over in Germany! To celebrate, he took a trip to Portugal to stack clips for his welcome video on the endless street spots. Check out what he cooked up!

“German street rider Artur Meister recently got picked up by Sunday Bikes and Odyssey via SIBMX distribution. Once his new ride arrived he went straight to Porto (Portugal) to film this welcome edit. Enjoy!

After Artur Meister and Traffic Distribution went their separate ways at the beginning of the year, the Nuremberg local has now found a new home at @SIBMX, where it is now being supplied with stuff from @Sunday Bikes and @Odyssey BMX.

It is a matter of honor that a new sponsor has a welcome edit. Artur flew to Porto to film this. Anyone who is well connected to the German BMX scene on Insta should have noticed that the Portuguese coastal town was a real hotspot last winter. And for once, that doesn’t mean Corona, but the frequency with which BMXers flew in there to go on vacation.

The reasons for this are obvious: In Portugal, the winters are mild and last but not least in Porto the spot density is more than impressive. So perfect conditions for diligently stacking clips – and that’s exactly what Artur did on the spot a few weeks ago. A lot of bangers got around, which of course we don’t want to withhold from you. Let’s go!
