Volume in California Trip
Here’s a new MUST SEE video from Volume Bikes. 5 minutes and 48 seconds of pure goodness. Hit that play button! Oh, and it looks like they’ve got a full-length video in the works… Can’t wait for that.
“To kick off the new year right we decided drop some heat on ya from damn near the entire team! Back in November we loaded the van to the brim, stuffed our belongings in the U-Haul and headed North in search of some of of the best spots in California. Stops include Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, Nipomo, San Luis Obispo, Fresno, San Jose, and San Fransisco…as well as some home turf gems in the mix. With the exception of SF, you could say we weren’t exactly staying on the beatin’ path…and that’s exactly how we like it. I’m really excited about how this came together, so grab a cup of your best hangover remedy, kick that now lesser attractive girl out of your bed, and go ride your bike. Happy 2013 Everyone!
Featuring Drew Hosselton, Alex Raban, Jason Enns, Broc Raiford, Lil D, Tate Roskelley, Mike Mastroni, Mike Jonas, & Eric Bahlman.

Still Hungry #5
I’m not sure how many edits we posted featuring Anton Arnarson in 2012, but there were a ton. I’d be willing to bet he was one of the biggest producers in 2012 actually. Here’s an edit he put together featuring clips that he didn’t use in all of those edits from the past year that are actually really good! I can’t figure out how this dude films so much, but he’s definitely on it. Enjoy!
“I went through thousands of files on my HDD and made this edit out of the unused footy I found.
Happy new year.”
SoCal Shenanigans with Miles Rogoish
ESPN BMX kicking on the new year with some real good riding from some of your favorite Southern California guys. Check it!
“Welcome to 2013. To start off the year, we’re keeping it mellow with a new-ish edit from Miles Rogoish featuring riding from Miles, Gabe Brooks, Brian Hunt, Tammy McCarley and more. Hope you had a safe and happy new year. Video by Miles Rogoish.”
Bump Jump – Limo Edit
Had this one turn up in an email and I’m pretty sure this is what we call “getting loose”. The Bump Jump crew recently put their Lot Lizard (truck stop prostitute) Limo to rest by beating the shit out of it on their bikes and a 4-wheeler. If you like to see dudes getting rowdy, this is definitely for you. Check it!
“Laid the lot lizard to rest at the POS house recently. Bicycle stunts performed by Christian Hewett, and Ben Z. Ramp fabrication by Steve Dailey, Filmed and Edited by Latane Coghill“
Insight: Novo Watch – The Absolute
One of the fun parts about running The Union is all of the different brands I am introduced in and outside of BMX. You would be amazed at how many companies will drop an email asking if we can promote their brand on the site with zero real interest or knowledge of what BMX is really about. I’ve turned down a lot of people along the way since there’s no room for them on The Union or in BMX.
A few months back I caught wind of a new watch brand called Novo Watch that got my attention. They’re a watch company that comes from an action sports background like BMX, skateboarding, snowboarding and MMA. It seems like 2012 was a year where BMX picked up a lot of clothing and apparel brands from underwear to shoe lace belt brands, so I figured some of you might be interested to see what’s out there for watches. I recently got a closer look at Novo’s Absolute watch and have been pretty stoked on it. If you’re looking for a watch that doesn’t look like you bought it in a kids store… Take a peek.
Welcome To 2013
It’s crazy how fast 2012 went. The year was jam packed with amazing people, amazing places, crazy videos, dialed photos, fresh products and more. It’s the first day of 2013 and we are excited to see where and what the new year brings us.
We would like to thank every single one of the 383,239 different people that checked out The Union this past year from around the world, all of the brands that supported what we’re doing, all of the riders and industry members who let us grill them with questions and all of the different people who contributed photos, videos and words for our original features.
None of this would be here without you guys and we’re looking to be able to do A LOT more in 2013.
The new year is looking to be real interesting and between The Union and our partners, Bikeguide, The Merged, Flat-Matters, Can You Dig It and Free-Coaster. We hope we can be your go-to place to keeping you guys entertained with all the best BMX has to offer from the people, videos, photos, products, events and more. We’ll be doing our best to bring it to you every single day so we hope you will be checking it out!
Let’s do this! – Kurt Hohberger
