Brian Kachinsky Off Etnies

January 13, 2013

I caught wind of this the other day, but figured I’d wait to drop the news when Brian and Etnies were ready. If you checked the team page the past week or so, you might have noticed Brian’s profile was missing. I’ve got a few ideas of where he will be going, but we’ll wait till the official word drops about that. Definitely an end to an era…

“After many great years with Etnies, I will no longer be a part of the team. It’s been a pleasure working with some amazing people at Etnies. I will miss my Etnies teammates greatly but luckily this is BMX and I’m sure I’ll be seeing you guys somewhere around the globe soon. Thanks for having me as a part of the family. I have plenty of good memories, shared tons of laughs and always appreciated helping the BMX program. Best wishes moving forward. 2013 is going to be amazing. There’s some excited stuff I’ve been working on for a couple months and it will be announced any day now.” – Etnies

The other week, Matt Roe made his way to Malaga, Spain with Richard Forne to film for this new 20Twenty Store edit. What happens when you combine some awesome riding, dialed spots and damn good filming and editing? This edit.

Diamondback U.K – Nik Ford – 2003 to 2013 Edit

January 13, 2013

This is pretty rad. Diamondback U.K‘s Nik Ford sent through his new edit that spans 10 years of footage. I didn’t know this, but 10 years ago he had a bad crash and was declared dead by a doctor before being revived. How wild is that? Check out the video!

“Dont ever let anyone tell you it cant be done………….

On the 13.01.2003 the doctors told my friends and family I had passed away.

On the 13.01.2013 I want to tell my friends and family that I am thankfull for the support and helping me live my BMX dream. This edit has took 10 years to make and its the best I got, which I couldnt be more stoked on. Dont hold back and dont let your fears stand in the way of dreams. Live each day as if it was your last.

10 years ago today I was dead, fast foward 10 years and I present to you 10 years of chasing my BMX dream edit.

Tremaine Stewart – One Cold Day Edit

Gas Station Sushi

January 13, 2013

Tanner Nelson and his buddy Koby along with a few others stacked a few clips for a new edit that’s definitely worth a look. Check it!

“I’ve been riding with my homie Koby since he was probably 8 years old. He is now 14 and he kills it. How many other 14 year olds have you seen doing crank arm grinds? Anyways I just got a VX1 and I wanted to film an edit for him before the harsh, regretful Utah winter hit but we ran out of time. So here is all the park clips Koby and myself got before mother nature shut us down. Guest clips include Amanee Kilpack, Braden Ross, Skyler Young, and Cameron Giles.”
