Archive Footage

March 14, 2013

Spotted this over on Dave‘s Facebook. Sam White has been collecting random clips for a while and finally decided it was time to put them to use. Check out what he came up with!

“Ive been filming BMX for about 2 half years now, and in that time ive ended up with a shit load of random footage! Clips that havnt made it into edits, random mess around things or just footage from going out and hitting the spots Rather than being selfish and just keeping it to myelf i thought id produce this little number.” – Sam White

Anti-Web Edit

March 14, 2013

I’m kind of digging the concept of this one. Check out Justin Wilgus coming through with some awesome riding without the help of barspins or tailwhips.

“This was a project I put together with the help of some friends for the Tucson, Premises Park Anti-Web Edit Contest. The hitch was there were no tailwhips or barspins allowed to be considerd for the contest. So we put in some work and I had fun with it.” – Justin Wilgus

Diamondback – Lukas and Nate Halahan

March 13, 2013

This is a good indicator that BMX has a good future. Check out this video of Diamondback‘s young guns Lukas and Nate Halahan ripping it up in Pennsylvania at the Wheel Mill, Imperial and Polish Hill skateparks. These little guys already have a big bag of tricks and it’s a good sign that they can rip a place like The Wheel Mill… That place looks so fun. Check it!

Paul Langlands Jam

March 13, 2013

I was wondering when some footage would surface from this one. Check out what went down at the super laid back jam that Paul Langlands threw at his local trails and his backyard setup down in New Zealand. This is rad!

“In the small town of Cambridge, Paul Langland’s BMX invitational Jam went down with top heavy hitters from across the globe and a mix of talented NZ crew. CHECK IT!

Down TV – 2013 Turn Up

March 13, 2013

It’s been a while since we’ve seen some footage from the Down crew pop up, but it looks like they’re still on it. Check out this video of Dan Norvell, Dylan Stark, Jeremy Sullivan, Steveo Sharp, Jourdan Barba, Davey Gunn and Justin Henninger putting in some work. That double peg drop in at the end is epic, haha.

Through The Lens: Growing Up in East L.A. with Anthony “Boy” Flores

March 13, 2013

Boy cruisin’ the streets with an opposite smith.

This week I got the chance to interview Anthony Flores a.k.a “Boy” about what it was like growing up as a BMX rider in East Los Angeles. A lot of riders share a similar upbringing of cruising the neighborhood with their buddies to the ice cream store but Boy’s upbringing was a little more raw than that. Sure, he fell in love with riding just like most of us did but he also spent his childhood in the projects. By no means am I saying that it’s a bad thing, I am simply pointing out the fact that Boy avoided all of the typical shit that comes along with growing up in a rough part of a big city and decided to focus his energy into riding and I think that’s awesome. I have known Boy for a long time now and have been shooting with him ever since I moved out West. There has never been a dull moment hanging out with him, he’s always got some stories to tell, and a smile on his face. He also holds down a job, and does what it takes to make sure his son Jordan a.k.a “Mr. Young BOYrack87” is taken care of along with his girl. Needless to say, he has been there for BMX since day one and his passion remains. Enjoy.
