Matt LeViege Self Titled Edit

April 22, 2013

Matt LeViege from matt leviege on Vimeo.

Matt LeViege’s lastest edit brings some interesting changes. For as long as I can remember, he has always had titles on his edits like “Ready 2 Die” (part 1-3), The Toy Solider, and Bad Dreams. This edit is simply just “Matt LeViege Edit”. Also a big change is the filming quality. Matt has long had amazing riding in his videos, but the filming hasn’t always been on par. This edit is a big leap forward on that front as well. He is sans mask too, which is unexpected. The most unexpected, possibly, is the banger. Pretty sure that’s a NBD, but I don’t memorize every trick in every video, so I could be wrong.

The Con – Michal Smelko Welcome Edit

Welcome to the family – Michal Šmelko from The Con on Vimeo.

Michal Smelko has been making a name for himself over the past year or two, and The Con took notice. Here he thanks them by producing some very smooth and technical grind combos at a bunch of different skateparks in his area.

Collateral BMX – Red, Gold & Green: More Than Just A Colorway

April 22, 2013

Collateral BMX did a great article about the long standing trend of riders adorning their bikes with Rasta colors. While most consider it a way to show that they like marijuana, JPR explains what they are actually promoting with their red, gold and green fashion statement.

Sam Willoughby’s High Speed OTB

April 22, 2013

I watched this happen on BMXlive.tv and when I saw that it had made it to Youtube, I had to share. It’s amazing that he was able to get out unscathed and make it onto the podium the next day. While on the racing topic, please keep Felicia Stancil in your thoughts. She took a hard crash and ended up with a lacerated liver, broken collar bone, cracked rib, and a concussion.

Jeff Kocsis is one of those guys who has always been a rider I get stoked on seeing fresh footage of. Over the years, he’s definitely progressed into an amazing rider and managed to keep that low-key kind of image that I think has always been something that a lot of riders respect. Over the last few months he’s been given the bump to the Macneil and Almond Footwear pro teams along with his long time sponsor, Animal which has allowed him to really focus more on riding. I figured with that and all of the traveling he has been doing lately, he was over due for an interview. I got ahold of him the other day to get to know this guy who not only kills it on a bike, but appreciates a hard days work. Let’s see what he had to say…

Name: Jeffrey Richard Kocsis Jr

Kink – #JustCruising

April 22, 2013

Here it is… The anticipated edit from the team trip that Kink‘s Chris Doyle, Aaron Smith, Sean Sexton, Tony Hamlin, Darryl Tocco, Lloyd Wright, Ben Hittle and Jay Roe took on the massive cruise ship where they spent their days relaxing and visiting locations that we don’t see much of any footage from. This is what we call a vacation!

“Vacation time with the 2013 Kink Pro Team. We boarded the Royal Caribbean “Freedom of the Seas” for a week of paradise in Haiti, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Mexico. In between living it up on the boat and chilling out at unreal beaches, we rode whatever we could possibly find- which wasn’t much.
Music- Johnny Harris “Light My Fire”
