Animal Bikes – Steven Hamilton “Candy Everyone Wants”
We’re always hyped when a new Steven Hamilton video drops. Here’s his latest for Animal Bikes that is a mix of BMX and skate footage, and even a little snowboard action as well. As always, we get a bunch of creative and unique riding, along with spots not too many people are putting to use! Check it!

You know you’re going to see something rad when the Halahan’s roll in. Here’s a new one from S&M Bikes giving us a look at what Nathan Halahan and Lukas Halahan got into during their time down in Texas earlier this year.

GT – Julian Molina Fresh Build
It was time for Julian Molina to freshen up his GT setup a bit, so he rolled through Empire to get it done right. Hit play to watch Julian dial in his rig, then take it out for a proper rail hop to give it a proper break in.
“Julian Molina heads over to the Austin BMX mainstay, Empire BMX, to build up a fresh Globetrotter frame in the new Gloss Red Flake colorway. Julian’s current ride features a 21” signature Brian Kachinsky Globetrotter, Dan Conway signature 9.9” SMF bars, GT 50mm NBS stem, Shred & Shed Pool tires, Real Steel pegs, GT Pivotal post, and a 28T Power Guard sprocket. Ask for all of the above at your local GT dealer or preferred mailorder.” – GT
Fit Bike Co. – Tariq Haouche “A Nice Bank Holiday Lads”
Fit Bike Co. coming through with a fresh batch of Tariq Haouche footage from the streets of the UK! Four minutes of rail and ledge action, making for a real good watch. It doesn’t look like Tariq missed a step after time off healing from a knee injury.
“Tariq is coming in hot off of an extended ACL rehab last year, and you love to see it. Wildly creative moves from Sheffield to Hastings for 4down.
Filmed by Tom Horton” – Fit Bike Co.
Profile Racing – Andrew Lazaruk In North Carolina
Profile Racing recently sent Andrew Lazaruk on down to North Carolina to spend some time exploring the parks, backyard ramps and more! Here’s a video with over 3 minutes of footage packed with style for your viewing pleasure! Hit play and take it all in! This looks like it was a real good time to us!
“Southern Hospitality
I had hung out with Seamus Mckeon once when he and Logan (Derberry) visited Andrew in LA; but I didn’t think I knew him well enough that he and his family would let Andrew and I stay at his house the night before his knee surgery. As our Lyft pulled up to the house at 3 AM, we opened the door to the house and hoped that we were not greeted by a barrel of a gun. Fortunately the picture of a teenage Seamus on a BMX bike signalled we were in the right house as we proceeded to wander through the dark house to our rooms while trying not to feel like we broke in.
Other than our first night, Andrew and I came to Mooresville with no idea where we were staying or really what we were riding. Relying on the kindness and excitement that comes from being a part of the BMX community; Seamus, his family, Logan Derberry, Robbie Taylor, and the NC crew treated us like family.
The week was full of riding street, concrete parks, and ramps; but the highlights were Whip Snake and The Goat Pen. The Goat Pen (located on Seamus’s property) was built by Seamus and the NC crew. Every line, corner, pocket, angle, and transition is thought about with intention and embodies the spirit of passionate people coming together to create something amazing. Complete with an indoor mini and the Mongoose Satellite Dish, I wish we could have spent a couple more days riding there.
Whip Snake is another crazy spot and is the work of a guy with the financial resources and land to bring his creative vision to life. (Which includes a huge concrete skate park and multiple metal sculptures ranging in size from 3 foot to 50 foot tall.) Watching Robbie, Logan, and the locals ride that place at full speed and hitting gaps I’d never even think of was incredible.
We have all heard about southern hospitality and the community, camaraderie, & creative spirit within BMX; but these stories are constantly re-emerging because of the truths within them.
Thank you to Seamus & his family, Logan Derberry, Robbie Taylor, and the NC crew for the hospitality and kindness, and thanks to Andrew Lazaruk for the trip! – Jeff Gipson

Super Europe
Mati Lasgoity uploaded this fresh one from a trip he took with Jaume Sintes, Miki Fleck and Santiago Arano to Zurich, Switzerland to see what the place had to offer for spots. They ended up with enough footage for just shy of 9 minutes of gems for your viewing pleasure! Take a look at what these guys got into!
“A month ago we traveled to Zurich together with Santi, Jaume and Miki and we spent 8 incredible days getting to know riding and especially enjoying what the bike gives us.
Santi captured very good clips and very nice memories of all the locals and this beautiful mix came out, we hope you like “SUPER EUROPE”.
Video filmed and edited by Santiago Arano.” – Mati Lasgoity
Prody Six – Desire
These Prody videos have been wild to see! We didn’t realize how many there were, but they keep flowing! Here’s the sixth Prody video “Desire” in all of its glory. This video was released back in 1997 and like the previous five videos, it’s loaded with a ton of great riding from ramps, street spots, flatland sessions, dirt and more. Check out all 30 minutes!
“Released in 1997 & once again, featuring heavily on the amazing Brisbane riding scene at the time. Mixed in with riders & locations from all over Australia & New Zealand.
Prody Six was the first to be fully edited using digital editing, which was done using a Casablanca editing suite. The system was hired over 2 weeks & the whole video edited day & night till it was done. Featuring extensive fades, sound on sound, along with repeated sound bites. It also featured a fully licensed sound track. It was was even available for rent in some video stores. A first for a grass roots BMX video for Australia.
Regarded as one of the best Prody videos by many.
Produced by Clint Millar.” – Prody
