I always get so stoked when I see Jake Ortiz’s name pop up. He never fails at coming through with a wild edit. This new one for 2Hip is jam packed with some heat. You should probably just hit that play button already.
Red Bull – Kluge “The Athlete Machine”
Oh… my… god. I can’t even imagine how long it took to coordinate and come up with all of this! Check out a bunch of different Red Bull athletes tied together by this long, well choreographed machine.
Want to see how they did it? Check out the behind the scenes footage Right Here.
“Derived from the German adjective Klug (meaning “clever”), Red Bull Kluge combines complex machinery patched together with the energy and prowess of world-class athletes, to see what happens when physics gets physical.”

Quintin Co. – Texas Toast Remix
The Quintin Co. crew loaded up the van a few weeks back for a trip from Los Angeles to Austin, Texas for the Texas Toast Jam. While they were on the road they stopped to check out some street spots and parks and ended up filming this video that has everything but footage from the Texas Toast Jam, haha. After you check that out, hit this LINK to check out a bunch of photos from the trip.
“Follow the Quintin boys on a trip into god’s country, where they encounter sleepless nights, a million cold ones, rumbling ese’s, forest fires, and a boat load of good times.

Dart BMX – Pawel “Haro” Piotrowski Edit
Dart BMX‘s Pawel “Haro” Piotrowski is back at it again. This time around he has compiled a bunch of his leftover clips from previous edits this year and mixed in a few fresh clips for good measure. This dude always comes through with some real good riding so take a look.
Zack Trnka and Spencer McFarlane Edit
I know I’ve said this more than once… Zack Trnka is one of the most under-rated riders in Canada. This new edit featuring him and Spencer McFarlane slaying a ton of spots is so damn good. If you’re looking for a street edit to get stoked on today, this is for you for sure.

Riders Connect with Wounded Soldiers
Brian Kachinsky, Jeremiah Smith, Chad Kagy, Nate Wessel, Mike Escamilla, Morgan Wade, Darryl Nau, Scott Powell and Mykel Larrin are back in the Middle East to hang out with the troops and get them stoked while they are stuck in a bad situation. This is a look at what they have been getting into so far on this trip!
“When the military brings tours to its bases, much effort is put into organizing entertainment for the entertainment. In past Bikes Over Baghdad tours, the BMX riders have had the opportunity to take target practice, fly in Apache helicopters and travel by way of C-130s. Today, we were attacked by dogs.
The riders started off the day meeting with wounded soldiers who are stationed around the Middle East but have come to this base as part of the Air Force’s intratheater care program for treatment and healing time. The mutual admiration between the troops and the athletes on this tour has been evident from the moment we set foot on the base. Each group has such respect for the dedication, risk and camaraderie demonstrated by the other, and their conversations constantly reflect those feelings. This morning, a fast bond was formed as the soldiers and riders swapped injury stories and shared frustrations with rehab, setbacks and the feeling of missing out.
“We know what it’s like to be separated from your friends and your team when you’re injured,” Brian Kachinsky said after an hour meet-and-greet and poster signing. “You want to be out there with them. And we’ve all had a lot of injuries, so in that way, we can relate. But there are a lot of things we can’t relate to, like the sacrifices they make to be here.”
After lunch with a group of soldiers who’d won the opportunity to dine with the riders, we took off for the flight line for a tour of a B1 bomber and more photo ops.
Then the tour went to the dogs.
At the kennel and training compound, we were introduced to several MWDs [military working dogs] and watched a demonstration showcasing their extensive obedience and attack training. Then a few of us threw on a bright red, very padded protective jacket and learned what it feels like — sort of — to be taken down by an active duty military dog.
And that was all before dinner.” – ESPN BMX
