PLAY 2012 Video #4 – Entire Yard – More BMX Videos

“You’ve seen what the riders could do in various sections – now see what they can do when the entire yard is fair game! Kyle Baldock, Kriss Kyle, Rob Darden, Devon Smillie, Andy Buckworth, Alex Coleborn, and the rest of the dudes definitely come through with some bangers…

CONTEST FORMAT
The ramp is divided into four sections – the wedge section, the driveway section, the spine/box section, and an “overall” section. Riders took two thirty second runs on each section, keeping the highest of their two scores. Also, the section in which the rider placed the lowest would be dropped from their overall score.

RESULTS
1. Kyle Baldock
2. Andy Buckworth
3. Alex Coleborn
Wedge Section – Devon Smillie
Driveway Section – Andy Buckworth
Spine/Box Section – Andy Buckworth
Best Trick – Tyler Fernengel

In this issue we’re bringing you some of the people, places, and events that have inspired and shaped BMX and our magazine since our first issue in 1993.

Bezanson, Dhers and Godziek at Baltic Games 2012

September 13, 2012

Check out a recap of what Red Bull‘s Drew Bezanson, Daniel Dhers and Dawid Goziek got into during the Baltic Games. Looks like it was a hell of a good time.

“The Baltic Games saw a big win for Drew Bezanson and we follow him on his trip to Gdansk for the games, which saw not only Drew in first place but also Daniel Dhers taking third behind Harry Main in second place.

This exclusive clip contains some gravity-defying tricks from the competition and follows Drew and Daniel on their day off as Daniel compares a Polish beach to those in his homeland of Venezuela and the guys then head off go-karting to let off some steam before jumping back on a plane.
