July 23, 2012

A little flatland action from this years BMX Worlds for you to take a look at.

“BMX, Rain, Sun, Rain, BMX, Rain…
deepBMX could manage to run the Flatland event successfully at this years rainy BMX Worlds in Cologne.
…but the rain breaks had also something good. The riders from all over the world had a lot possibilities to connect to each other and share stories, moments and a lot of good times! …so we did.
Enjoy!

Blue Bench Trails Edit

July 22, 2012

Head over to the ESPN website for an awesome video that Aaron Nardi put together from Mike Saavedra’s Blue Bench Trails in California. These are some of the best looking trails in the world and there’s plenty of damn good riding that goes down. I did spot a clip or two that also appeared in the new Deluxe video “Part Deux” which also features a full part from Mike and the Blue Bench Trails.

Head 2 Head – Kyle Baldock Vs. Daniel Dhers

July 22, 2012

These are always pretty funny if you know your BMX history.

“Kyle Baldock and Daniel Dhers go HEAD2HEAD in an epic battle of BMX knowledge. Find out if they know the first Dew Tour winner, who invented the Tailwhip to Tailwhip back, who started the “Sprocket Jockeys,” what year Mirra did the first double backflip, who has the title of “decade of domination” and more. Check out who takes the crown in this HEAD2HEAD.” – Alli Sports

Scott Yoquelet Interview

July 22, 2012

BMX
Interviewed by Rich Hoppe
Photos: Steve Crandall , Rich Hoppe, Tom Izor, and a random people from through-out time..

I was to be asked by Jeremy Ball to interview Scott Yoquelet for The Union and I immediately was stoked as all get out! I have spent most of my life with Scotty, be it while riding a bike or doing anything else. Over the years, Scott has been my business partner, traveling partner, and one of the oldest and coolest friends a guy could ask for. We grew up together in Fort Wayne, Indiana we would always tear up the local spots together with our crew. Now, as the years have passed, we have became part of the “old man posse,” and I am here to tell you that as we have gotten older, neither of us have slowed on our riding.
The reason that I am telling you this is that I have been a first hand witness to Scotty’s BMX career and am here to pass on what I have seen to you, so you can enjoy the good times we shared too.
For those of you who haven’t ever had the opportunity to see Scott ride his bike, I can tell you that he is one of the most talented, cleanest, and smoothest dudes you will ever see on a 20”. Scotty has put his stamp on the sport, and has influenced too many people to count. This interview is a touch long, but keep in mind that I had to narrow down over 30 years of BMX through the mind of Scott Yoquelet!
