Cemface – Arnold Vigoa “Broke My Foot” Edit

December 7, 2012

It’s a bummer to hear that Arnold Vigoa got hit by a car, but at least he was sitting on a ton of real good clips for this new Cemface edit to give us something to watch while he heals up. Get well soon, Arnold!

“Arnold is always staying busy behind the camera when he is healthy, here is some clips of himself that he put together while he has been out with a broken foot.
“hey I was filming for this edit until I got hit by a car causing my foot to break. I have been filming others keeping busy on other things besides riding. It is some usable clips and some leftovers giving me a chance to heal properley and get back at it! Thanks everyone cemface.com Morgan, Eben, and Cody also Paul And Dave at Stolen bikes for keeping me rolling right!”

Props – Best of ’98 – Full Video

December 7, 2012

What were you doing in 1998? I’ll admit that I wasn’t even riding for another 2 years. Check out a ton of legends in the full Best of 1998 video that Props uploaded for you guys to enjoy. So awesome seeing this pop up online.

“After many requests we pulled this from the archives to post. 1998 was a classic year in BMX when a lot of changes were happening in the sport, and when a lot of the riders you might think of as “legends” now, were killing it then.

We released Road Fools 1 earlier in the same year.

Eastern – 2012 Jacksonville Commons Skatepark Jam

December 7, 2012

Looks like BMX has made its way into the Jacksonville Commons skatepark. This is awesome news and it looks like the Eastern crew made their way to the park to help gain support for opening it up to bikes. I have a feeling this won’t be the last time we see footage from this place.

“A few weeks back Eastern Bikes headed to Jacksonville, North Carolina for the Commons Skatepark Jam put on by The Bicycle Gallery. The goal was to get one day a week dedicated to bikes. This park has been around for ten years with out a bike touching the place. Well the jam was a success and bikes are now allowed two days a week. The locals are pumped and we were glad to go out and support the cause. The park is really fun so if you are ever in the area hit it up and stop by The Bicycle Gallery and say hi.
