Wave Rock – Behind the Scenes

February 20, 2013

Remember that video we posted up the other week featuring Danny Campbell riding the Wave Rock? Click Here to check it out if you some how missed it. This video is a behind the scenes of what it took to make the video happen. There was a lot of production that went into this one. It’s definitely an interesting look at how they went about things, that’s for sure.

“InfinityList.com leaders in cinematic online sports content collaborated with mb! by Mercedes-Benz Magazine mercedes-benz.com/mb and Australian BMX rider Danny Campbell to conquer “Wave Rock” a 14 m (47 ft) high and 110 m (350 ft) long granite rock face shaped like an over-vert quarter pipe located in the Western Australia Outback.
Shot over 3 days of blistering heat hundreds of miles from the nearest major city of Perth. The video takes place in the rock jungle gym that is the Hyden Wildlife Park for what is the world’s first attempt to drop in on this rock of historical significance.
Danny Campbell negotiated the difficult and dangerous terrain with relative ease after spending a half-day scouting. The rock which appears deceivingly smooth to the naked eye is wicked rough with large elevated patches of uneven surfaces and took all his tactical finesse to negotiate.
In partnership with mb! by Mercedes-Benz Magazine, Mercedes-Benz Australia provided the use of a new G350 BlueTEC Edition to facilitate the camera crew and talent negotiating the difficult outback terrain in the process of shooting this piece.

Too Cold To Ride Good – Vol. 2

February 20, 2013

Haha, the title of this video cracks me up just because I’ve heard people say those exact words so many times. However, this new mix edit featuring Ryan Alcock, Neil Maher, Jonny Devine, Stephen Griffiths, Beaver and Jack Lacey is actually real good. It might have been too cold, but it didn’t keep them from producing. Take a look!

Transgression Skatepark – 5 Clips with Brandon Horan

February 20, 2013

I meant to post up this video of Brandon Horan cruising the Transgression park, but it must have slipped through on me. Either way, here it is now. Check out Brandon blasting the park with a ton of real good lines and transfers. Stoked on this one.

Morda Cult III

February 20, 2013

Here’s an interesting submission I got today. This video is from the Morda Cult guys over in Russia. This is a mix between some BMX, graffiti and some sort of scene out of a wild kidnapping, haha. Either way, it’s a pretty interesting watch. Take a peek.

“Here’s a new video from MORDA CULT – the mysterious sect from dark Russian streets, offering its own view on BMX, graffiti, skateboarding, film-making, girls and other elements of good living.”

Street Swarm – Santa Ana

February 19, 2013

Check out this video Dylan Pfohl put together from the Street Swarm jam that went down this past weekend in Santa Ana, California. Looks like they had a real good turn out and plenty of good times were had.

“Eric Hough put on a Street Swarm jam in Santa Ana with the help of Sean Mckinney, Chris Moeller, Green Eggs and Sam, Mike and Kyle Martella, Builder Bob and Chino Rosario.
Just a quick recap of some of the amazing riding that went down from guys like Larry Edgar, Big Daddy, Dan Norvell, Jourdan Barba and Chris Hughes.”

Dan’s Comp – Hoang Tran: Warming Up the Bench

February 19, 2013

Dan’s Comp dropped this new video giving you a little insight into what Hoang Tran is getting into when he isn’t or can’t’ ride. Check out some riding clips along with a bunch of real good photos that he shot in this one. Real good.

“Dan’s Comp team rider Hoang Tran takes a positive approach to down time from injuries by shifting his focus to other interests, like photography. This edit by Stew Johnson, for Dan’s Comp, highlights some of Hoang’s photos from a filming trip last fall with his Dan’s Comp team mates Raul Ruiz and Ben Hucke, as well as a bit Hoang’s riding–including the fall that sidelined him.”

Getting Awesome: Baby on Board with Jameson Nyquist

February 19, 2013

Haha, leaving it up to Ryan Nyquist to come up with this one. All I’m going to say is this is what we call proper parenting…

“With no contests or travel on the schedule, pro BMXer Ryan Nyquist looks forward to a little time with just himself and his bike, but daddy duty calls! Instead of canceling plans to hit up Santa Cruz park, Ryan brings Jameson along for the ride literally! It’s “Baby On Board” with Jameson and Ryan riding the transitions together. Jameson gets his first real taste of BMX. Or does he?” – Network A
