The Daily Grind – Jon “Gremlin” Bechtold #FUCKCANCER

January 18, 2022

The other week Jon “Gremlin” Bechtold announced that he had been diagnosed with carcinoma cancer and he would be starting chemo treatment to battle it. Between the chemo treatments, he decided to dig through the footage and get this new video filled with dialed riding from the streets out for you to enjoy. Jon goes all in on everything he does, so you know he’s going to beat the hell out of this cancer and get back to riding. If you missed it, there has been a GoFundMe setup to help Jon and his family out with expenses during his fight!

“I have been slowly stacking this footage over the last few years between DG trip videos, and other projects I’ve been a part of. Since I found out I have cancer I wanted to put it out! Shout out to all the homies who’ve held a camera and DJ Zaren for editing it all together!” – Jon “Gremlin” Bechtold

Red Bull – Kieran Reilly Lands The World’s First Triple Flair

January 18, 2022

It’s been a little while since we’ve seen a World’s First that we didn’t expect anyone to go after, but Kieran Reilly managed to pull it off! Red Bull just released this behind the scenes style video showing Kieran putting in over 6 months of work to make a Triple Flair happen from the ramps being built to figuring it out in the foam and the battle to get it done on the ramp while taking a beating. Hit play to see how Kieran pulled off the Triple Flair.

“British BMX heavyweight Kieran Reilly has spun his way into the BMX history books landing the world’s first triple flair. To make it happen the crew built a custom roll-in and ramp at Asylum Skatepark in Nottinghamshire, England, where Kieran spent days on end attempting the trick, taking heavy hits one after another. The learning curve was steep, painful & at the end, breathtakingly successful.” – Red Bull

The Malakafornia crew over in Spain coming through with a new one featuring Javi Rodriguez going to work on street spots! This video has a good vibe to it, and Javi puts his pegs to heavy use on every rail and ledge in sight! Take a look!

“Javi Rodriguez from León with the llama..

I met Javi like 80% of the riders in Spain… A drunken night at the O’marisquiño. It was not until a year ago that I began to follow him more and see how he began to throw himself in the mud. I was amazed to know that a video part was being recorded and even more so, to know that we rewarded it on our channel.

I don’t mess around anymore, hit PLAY!” – Malakafornia

This was one of the best trips i’ve been on. Joram Van Dijk and Jaume Sintes blessed me as a tour guides, and it was a dope surprise to find out that my Subrosa and Shadow Conspiracy teammates Jiri Blabol and Moritz Nussbaumer were in town as well.
Great friends. Great weather. Great beers. Cheers to my dudes over at Skatepro and shout out to the good homies for filming”

Fit Bike Co. – Kairi Yamada

January 15, 2022

Over the years we’ve seen more an more young guns popping up that are absolutely crushing it for their age. The scene over in Japan has been producing a ton of amazing riders lately, and it looks like Fit Bike Co. have picked up 11 year old Kairi Yamada! Here’s his welcome video with a ton of great clips with big BLASTED airs, cranked turndowns and stylish tables on ramps to grinds galore and so much more. We can only imagine just how good this kid is going to get as he grows!

“Eleven-year-old, Japanese shredder, Kairi Yamada, rides with style way beyond his years. The kid has so much swag that the Van Homan took it upon himself to hit us up this time last year (while based in Tokyo working on the 2020 Olympics), to tell us about a young kid who was crushin’ the Bashi Burger ramps… and the rest is history. We had pops Yamada send us a few years worth of footy so we could time-capsule Kairi’s riding while he works on a fresh FIT edit with the Motobunka boys.

Kairi rides an 18″ and is on Instagram as @kailee_yamyam_ Go give him a Follow!
