March 1, 2022

Whenever you see Joe Battaglia‘s name pop up, you know you’re going to get dizzy watching what he cooked up. Here’s his new one for Colony where he clocked a bunch of miles to ride a bunch of different parks, putting his brakes to proper use for crazy lip tricks and combos, along with plenty of air tricks packed with style as well. Take a look!

“Joe comes through with another great video with heavy brake use and endless creativity.

Filmed around the Midwest, including Wisconsin, Illinois, & Iowa and the East Coast including New Jersey, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania.

As we finished this video Joe’s dad Charles passed away, this video is dedicated to the great man.” – Colony

Staffs – Critical Cheese

March 1, 2022

Here’s one the trails riders out there will be stoked on. Check out this mix from a bunch of trails over in the U.K, along with some ramps as well for good measure. This is 7 minutes of goodness with plenty of style and good vibes. Take a look!

“Chad Cowell and friends have been working away on this one deep in the woods over the last summer and it’s a real fun watch. Consisting of mainly UK trails spots, the odd bit of bowl footage (including the legendary Crowhurst) and a few clips from France sprinkled on top – this will make you want to grab a shovel immediately. Some of those doubles towards the end are monsters!” – DIG

Kriss Kyle X Endura – Stick Or Twist

March 1, 2022

We’re always stoked when Kriss Kyle has a new video to check out! Here’s a new one for his shoe sponsor Endura where he gets creative all over Unit 23 Skatepark thanks to a “shoe box”. Needless to say, the riding in this is real good and there’s plenty of creative lines thanks to that shoe box setup. Take a look!

“Sticky situations. Not usually something high on the wish list and not usually something you want to find yourself in, with just one exception that is. When it comes to BMX & MTB shoes, a sticky situation is precisely what you’re after, it’s what you dream of, it’s the goal, the very aim of the game.

A non-sticky situation is at best a pedal slip, at worst it’s painfully gouging a chunk of flesh out of your calf or tearing your shin open. Not good and not what you wanted at all.

Step forward, pun intended, the all-new Endura MTB Footwear Collection. Crammed to the gills with technology and innovation to make your pedal stroke smoother, stiffer and more comfortable, with better power transfer and crucially a super durable sole made of glue… OK, it’s not made of glue, but it’s as sticky as hell… which is precisely why we named it StickyFOOT.” – Kriss Kyle

Cult – Dom Elt “Before The Fall”

March 1, 2022

Ride UK coming in hot with a fresh one featuring Cult‘s connect in the U.K, Dom Elt, going to work on trails and parks over the course of 2021. Despite a rough ending with a broken collarbone, it’s safe to say he filmed a ton of great clips to wrap this one up. If you’re looking for big airs, flowy, effortless style, this is the BMX video for you. Take a look!

“With this video we figured we’d start filming at the start of 2021, if we had enough footage by the end of the year we’d put out an edit. However I managed to eat shit in the autumn, breaking my collarbone into three pieces and putting an end to my riding for the rest of the year. So that’s where the name comes from – the video is everything we managed to film before the fall of 21.” – Dom Elt

Brian Tunney – February 2022 Clips

March 1, 2022

Another month has flown by! With a new month, that means we can always count on Brian Tunney to give us a look at what he got into. Here’s a look at some of the riding he got into during his garage flatland sessions. Plenty of gems and the music is on point as always! Take a look!

“So this month started out promising. We got out of town, we spent a few nights in New Orleans, drove all the way to Florida. Then got back and managed to ride a bit in between two harsh freezes, which was followed by an invasion of Ukraine. How I’ve done anything the past few days is beyond me cause the real world sucks a lot of the time.

But I’m very grateful to still be riding and learning. And even though this month’s riding is nothing spectacular or out of the ordinary, the point of it was to make myself do rolling tricks in a two-car garage and see how it worked. Most of the time it worked out, but the ride outs are hard to watch. Just getting stuck in corners in the wrong position can end a landed trick before I get back to the pedals. So if you haven’t seen that old Paul Osicka video of him doing complicated, original tricks inside a Chicago apartment, I’m telling you it’s really, really, really, really hard.

This is that video

And the song is by Joan of Arc, from their early singles compilation. I’d encourage everyone to go buy it on bandcamp, but it’s not there. But the rest of their collection is here.

And finally, this video is dedicated to the memory of Andrew Wickham, rest in peace friend.”
