Matt Hoffman – Backyard Sessions Edit

January 14, 2013

If you follow Mat Hoffman on Instagram, you probably see a lot of photos from the sessions he gets in on his backyard ramp setup. He decided to put a bunch of the footage he’s collected together for this awesome new video. So many tricks you just don’t see anymore in this!

“Today is too cold to battle the elements to ride, so I chose to shift through some of the footage I’ve shot in 2013 (last 2 weeks). I’ve used this for video grabs posting on Instagram, but here’s a minute worth of clips… Nothing too special, just some mellow backyard sunset sessions. peace, love, BMX.” -Mat Hoffman

Trey Jones and Mark Mulville in Orlando Edit

January 14, 2013

ESPN BMX‘s Aaron Nardi caught up with Trey Jones and Mark Mulville for a session at the Orlando cement park the other week. You know both of these guys produced some awesome riding for this so hit play!

“I spent the last few weeks of 2012 in the Orlando, Fla. area, riding with the locals and attending jams such as Banned in the Backyard and SPoT Roast. This is where I was able to witness Cult‘s Trey Jones and Subrosa‘s Mark Mullville in their own element. Even away from the jams, on somewhat relaxing days at smaller local parks or riding street, they were impressive.

But to watch them ride at the Orlando Skatepark so effortlessly really gives you the idea of how good they really are. The park might look easy to flow around, until you drop in and realize everything is massive and fairly intimidating. Trey and Mark are both extremely comfortable blasting hips and figuring out tricks and lines no one else has thought of. And this video is a sampling of their skills on home turf.” – Aaron Nardi

Eclat – Shane Weston: Don’t Get Mad, Get Even

January 14, 2013

Anyone who has seen Shane Weston’s riding in the past probably caught on that he doesn’t have a very good temper when it comes to tricks not working out. Nathan Williams put together this edit showing you how he likes to remind his bike what it’s supposed to do to go along with a full Q&A up on the Eclat website. I’m not sure if I would laugh at this in front of Shane or not. He would probably kick my ass.
