It’s Friday and another week has flown by! This week was a great week with a bunch of dialed videos and news to check out! As always, Brant Moore has dug through it all to put together a full recap with all the best items for this new episode of BMX News. Hit play for the recap up top, then check out everything discussed in full below!
Breaking Free Skatepark – Phil Demattia Session
It has been a while since we’ve seen Phil Demattia‘s name pop up! Apparently he hasn’t been riding much lately, but he got in his first session in a year at Breaking Free Skatepark and absolutely crushed it. Plenty of lip tricks and combos that are so good. We’re not sure how he was able to ride like this with so much time off, but we’re stoked on it. Check it!
Fit Bike Co. – Street Sleeper: Imported Handrails
Fit Bike Co. keeping the Street Sleeper episodes rolling. Here’s a look at what Ethan Corriere and a few others got into while out cruising spots! As always, this has a mix of riding and plenty of laughs. Take a look!
“Don’t snooze on Ethan Corriere and the gang as they hit some classic San Bernardino handrails and more in the latest Street Sleeper episode.” – Fit Bike Co.
Dan Conway 2020 Video Bike Check
It’s been awesome seeing so many riders doing some more unique builds lately. Dan Conway put together a rad GT setup with a mid-school vibe! This thing has all the goodies like the laid back seat and brakes (a lot of dudes throwing brakes back on latley!) and more. Hit play to let Dan give you the full run through!
“Dan Conway might be best known for the hammers he drops on street, but he’s down to ride everything and his bike setup shows. With a knobby up front, street tread in the rear, three pegs, and brakes, Dan’s bike is a perfect mid-school styled all-around BMX machine. Here’s Dan’s GT Globetrotter with the recent addition of Profile parts.” – Our BMX

USABMX Freestyle Amateur Championship 2020 Highlights
There hasn’t been a ton of events this year beyond some jams and smaller events, so it’s rad to see the USA BMX Freestyle Amateur National Championship was still able to go down at Woodward East in Pennsylvania. Brant Moore was there to take it all in and put together a couple videos giving us a look at what went down! Up top is a highlight reel from all the classes from the young guns all the way up to the Master Class. Down below you can check out the highlights from the 10 and under class, which is pretty unreal what these kids are doing these days!
We would imagine there will be more footage from this surfacing in the coming days, so keep an eye out for that.
“An absolutely amazing event at Woodward East in PA to wrap up the first ever USABMX Freestyle Amateur National Championship series.
Riders from all over the country traveled to Pennsylvania to compete in order to become the first official Amateur National Champions. Some incredible riding went down and memories were made! Look forward to individual videos of each class as well as the best trick and high jump.
Then get excited for next year’s event which will be bigger and better!” – Brant Moore
Brodie and Jared Go West
If you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, you’ve likely been counting the days until the warm weather returns. Fortunately for the guys down in Australia, they’re enjoying the summer heat! Brodie Butterfield and Jared Goodall decided to hit the road for a little road trip to ride a few amazing cement parks. This one doesn’t have the craziest riding, but the vibes are good and it will definitely make you want to go on a road trip!
“A couple of weeks ago, Jared and I planned a little trip down the South Coast. Some circumstances changed, so we headed to the concrete Mecca that is NSW’s Western Plains. We battled wind, fatigue, heatstroke and being out of our depth, but we had a hell of a time.” – Brodie Butterfield
Lux BMX – Mike Vockenson “Aeterna” Raw
Lux BMX coming through with just under 12 minutes of raw Mike Vockenson footage from their “Aeterna” video that dropped online earlier this year. Hit play to check out a bunch of great clips, second angles, b-roll, crashes and more!
“Mike Vockenson didn’t just make Our First BMX Full-length DVD , he also starred in it, and had arguably one of the most high-speed sections in the video. Pedal to the metal, white knuckles and leather jackets!
Filmed by a majority of the boys! yeww” – Lux BMX
The Shadow Conspiracy – Moritz Nussbaumer Welcome Video
It’s that time of the year where we’re starting to see some sponsor news pop up! The Shadow Conspiracy have added Moritz Nussbaumer to their squad. Here’s a laid back edit with some real solid riding to bring the news! Moritz has been crushing it over in Germany for years, so we’re stoked n this news. Expect to see plenty more of him in 2021!
“We are proud to announce the latest addition to the Shadow family. Mo Nussbaumer is one of the most talented German street riders and we couldn’t be more happy for him to join the team.
Mo built up an all new Subrosa/ Shadow bike and took to the streets of Berlin to film this video all in 1 night.
We can’t wait to work on more projects together. Cheers and welcome to the family Mo!
