Stoned Street Tallinn Gathering 2020

September 13, 2020

The Stoned Street guys recently threw a jam over in Tallinn, Estonia to get a bunch of the riders together for a day of riding and good times. They kicked things off at a fun plaza setup, then made their way out into the streets to hit up a bunch of spots. Here’s a highlight video giving us a look at the riding that went down, along with some action from a Game of B-I-K-E they did as well! It looks like there was a good turn out along with no shortage of good times and dialed riding that went down! Take a look at all the action in the video above.

Charlie Gumley Memorial Video

September 12, 2020

It’s always sad to hear about a rider passing away. The other week the Australian BMX scene took a big hit when word that Charlie Gumley passed away in an accident. Charlie was one of those riders that had a ton of talent and definitely wasn’t scared to send it, even on tricks that had never been done before, like the Twix Air he did way back in 2013. Wayne Cant put together a bunch of footage of Charlie that he had on file as a memorial and to remind everyone just how talented Charlie was. Rest In Peace, Charlie. You left your mark on BMX and won’t be forgotten.

“On the 22nd of August 2020, Charlie Gumley sadly passed away in a freak accident. These are some of the clips I was fortunate enough to film with Charlie in our younger years.

Ride on Charlie.” – Wayne Cant
