Brett Banasiewicz Benefit Jam Edit

January 1, 2013

This past weekend, TCU threw a jam at Rye Airfield to raise money for Brett Banasiewicz. They ended up raising $5,000 by the end of the day and it looks like there was a ton of damn good riding that went down too. Check out the video Javaun Crane-Bonnell put together!

“Brett Banasiewicz had a bad crash so TCU threw a holiday jam to raise money for Mad dog’s recovery!
Thanks to all the riders and sponsors! I got as much of the action as I could.

Troy McMurray Benefit Fundraiser

January 1, 2013

Word started flowing around the other day that Troy McMurray was in the hospital, but there really wasn’t any specifics as to why released. Today I got a link to the new benefit page a few of his friends and family members set up to help him and his family out with the medical expenses explaining what is going on. If you have a few dollars to spare, help this legend out!

“Legendary BMXer- Troy McMurray has had some bad luck as of late. He has been diagnosed with multiple pulmonary embolisms and has had blood clots throughout his body. He had a very scary, lengthy stay in the hospital and will need medical assistance into the future. The bills are adding up and he will not be able to return to work anytime soon. Troy is not one to ask for help, but with his second daughter on the way, his family could really use a boost. He has been an inspiration to many of us in the BMX world and any kind of donation would be greatly appreciated by Troy and his family.”

Brett Banasiewicz and the Long Road To Recovery

January 1, 2013

Gutstains put together this awesome edit for TCU giving you a look at how much progress Brett Banasiewicz has been making with his physical therapy. It’s definitely awesome seeing him looking healthier than ever and really starting to push towards getting back on his bike. So stoked on this.

Angel Restrepo Edit

January 1, 2013

What… the… hell? I always get really stoked when I come across a video of a completely unheard of kid that is dropping some hammers. Angel Restrepo from Colombia is definitely one of those kids. Check out his huge bag of tricks from double whips to 360 backflips and flair no-handers. All I have left to say is “wow”.

Aloha Flow

January 1, 2013

Effraim over at Flat-Matters pointed me in the direction of this one. If you’re looking for 9 minutes of flatland goodness this is it. I want to go to Hawaii so bad after watching this. Looks like these guys really had a good time there.

“This trip to Hawai’i was not a means to an end. In other words, we did not go for a contest or some event. We did not go on this trip with the purpose of making a video. Each person had his own motivation and the Energies brought this crew together in Hawai’i at the same time. We were in Hawai’i to BE in Hawai’i and experience the flow of the Aloha Flatland Spirit. Shot mostly with a GoPro and an iPhone, this video is a manifestation of our island experience and awesome things that occurred while we were there. Our crew consisted of Scott Powell, Jesse Puente, Jean-William Prevost, and Bobby K. Carter, along with the riders of the 808. Please enjoy this video! Aloha!” – Bobby Carter

Jesse Goodwin – 2011 / 2012 Edit

January 1, 2013

It’s always crazy when edits like this drop featuring some kid who is extremely good. Jesse Goodwin is one of those kids that makes really difficult tricks look easy. I really hope he picks back up in 2013 because I’d like to see more from this dude for sure.

“Jesse is a young rider living currently living in Bendigo. Now 16 years old. He has such amazing skill but doesn’t seem to be as keen on his bike as he use to be. So here is the edit that Jesse and I have been working on for quite some time.. I would of loved to get more clips because i know Jesse has so many more BANGERS! So hopefully this will get Jesse keen doing what he does best!
Filmed at: Eaglehawk and Maryborough.

I always love some feedback, thanks 🙂
Enjoy!” – Curtis Winstanley
