Fit – Las Vegas Shop Stop

April 16, 2013

The other weekend, some of the Fit Bike Co. guys made a trip out to Las Vegas for a shop stop. Take a look at the riding and good times that went down! This is rad.

“Ben Lewis and Shawn McIntosh jumped in the F-IT350 with Moeller, McKinney, Stew and Julio and headed to Vegas for a Bike Shop Shop Stop a couple weeks ago. They met Troy Blair, Travis Cordova and a bunch of locals there and shredding (and heckling and rapping) ensued. ”

Getting Awesome – Ryan Nyquist’s Magic Remote

April 16, 2013

Where Ryan comes up with this stuff is beyond me, but it’s hilarious. Take a little trip in slow mo and fast forward for this new episode of Getting Awesome.

“Professional BMX rider and Rad Dad Ryan Nyquist opens the door to his world and that shows balancing daily life with two young boys is no easy task. With too much energy and plenty of toys, it looks like a tornado ran through the house! Just when Ryan gives up hope on getting a BMX session in for the day he finds a magic remote! With slow motion and fast forward in full effect Ryan finds the time to clean the house, speed over to Scotts Valley trails, and throw down some mean tricks in slow mo.” – Network A

Demolition – Dumbchuck Peg Promo

April 16, 2013

Demolition dropped this new promo video featuring Ryan “Biz” Jordan, Jason Enns, Christian Rigal and Connor Lodes talking about some of the perks to these plastic pegs are. These were some of the first plastic pegs on the market and going on to their 3rd version, they’re looking better than ever. Take a peek!

“The plastic vs metal peg debate will always be an endless one. With more and more pros switching to plastics to be able to grind on virtually anything, it’s starting to make more sense. Biz, Enns, Christian and Connor all swear by them for a number of reasons. Pick some up at a Demolition dealer nearest you to try out a pair and you can decide for yourself which is better, metal or plastic.

An Afternoon at Flo – More BMX Videos

There’s been a lot of videos that popped up from the Flo skatepark and that’s because there’s always something good going on there. Take a look at a chill session that went down one afternoon not too long ago. In case anyone is wondering, Tom Justice still has some of the best dreads in BMX.

“Riders from all over the UK hit up Flo for an afternoon session. Alex Coleborn is keeping it mellow, but he’s back on his bike! Credit: Chris Wilmshurst”

Christians Masur Australia Edit

April 16, 2013

Here’s one I came across of Christians Masur who recently spent some time down in Australia riding. This video gives you a look at some of the riding he got in along the Gold Coast at a handful of cement parks. This dude is all about style so if you are looking for whips and bars, this isn’t for you. Hit that play button!

I am sure this won’t be the last time we hear about this dude.

Few people in the game have a NORA Cup on their mantelpiece at home stating that yes indeed, they made the best video of the time. Stew Johnson has such a trophy, and for good reason – Anthem2 was long awaited and hotly anticipated, and the hype built and built all through the filming and production process. The resulting video definitely not only lived up to but far exceeded the hype. And the just rewards came – it sold well (bearing in mind the age we live in and how people consume videos these days), the riders involved enjoyed truly landmark video parts, and then it was unquestionably awarded a NORA Cup. Anthem2 is timeless, an instant classic, and if you don’t own a copy of it in your video collection then you need to examine your status in life. Having spent the best part of 18 years working on BMX videos, Stew now juggles various projects for brands and companies – “I’m currently working on full length DVDs for Dan’s Comp and Fit Bike Co.” – and is going from strength to strength: we caught up with him just after a Dans Comp trip and here are his FIRSTS.
