SE Bikes – Pat “Big Daddy” Laughlin 2013 Winter Edit

March 6, 2013

It’s easy to forget just how good Big Daddy is when you’re distracted by how hilarious he is in most of his videos… This new SE Bikes video is all business and it’s a good reminder of just how friggen good the dude is. Check it out!

“SE Bike’s very own bodyguard, Pat Laughlin AKA “Big Daddy” comes through with a clean edit filled with heavy hitting style and classic Big Daddy tricks. He hits San Diego hard by shredding the streets, skateparks, and trails. He finishes off with some wild bangers at Ben Snowden’s backyard in the OC. Don’t hold your breath for any goofy Big Daddy antics in this edit. This one is pure BMX & his riding does all of the talking.

Deven Ferrer – Any Given Day

March 6, 2013

It’s always a treat when a new edit featuring Deven Ferrer pops up. This video is loaded with freecoaster and nose balance goodness along with plenty of proper peg use. This is definitely one to check out!

“Deven and I worked on this over the past month and a half. He injured his foot half way through, but he is a trooper and got it done anyways. Watch Deven as he cruises OKC, Denton, and his local park. Everything in here is just about his everyday riding, so I figured it would be necessary to title this “Any Given Day.” Big thanks to Jeremie Infelise for a couple of second angle shots. Enjoy.

Photogallery: Undercover Trails

Words and photos by Blaise Olson from Killemall Distribution

BMX trail season in a rain forest like the west coast of British Columbia is short lived, and in the harsh winters of Canada, pretty much non-existent. Sometimes it can rain up to 30 days in a row, so even riding the abundance of concrete parks we have at our disposal, unfortunately isn’t a reality. Street riding happens infrequently in the winter months, and it can be downright depressing if you’re one of those riders who needs to constantly search out new spots to shred, and then can’t ride them until the spring thaw.

Fortunately for the last year or so, a dedicated group of diggers and riders have been working on this spot to make the best of a season that has no mercy on bmx. The jumps are under a highway overpass, and are being shredded and worked on all throughout the winter months. Strangely enough, even though the trails are in view of houses, city workers, and passing traffic, they endure and thrive in plain site (knock on wood).

For 5 weeks in January and February, we shot photos to capture the jumps, and the riders shredding them, for posterity. As you’ll be able to see in the pics, the lighting conditions on most days were less than ideal: intense fog often came off the adjacent river, when it’s not dark grey and raining the sun only hit there for a few hours a day, and then it would get dark again early. Regardless of the difficult lighting, I’m pretty happy with the outcome and hope you enjoy the photos!
