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

Midlands X Cornwall Road Trip 2020

September 11, 2020

This summer has been pretty quiet as far as road trip videos go, but we’ve been seeing more and more starting to pop up. Here’s one a crew took hitting a bunch up parks up over in the U.K! We’re not too familiar with these guys, but the riding is real good and the film work is on point. Take a look!

“Join Henry Logan, Ellis Lloyd, Ryan Marshall, Adam Lievesley, Dec Unsworth, Mitch Dooley, Blake Dooley, Aaron Wilson & Joe Matthias on a summer roadtrip in Cornwall! Typical (unpredictable) summer weather meant the guys had to spend a bit of time indoors, but this is still good vibes all the way through.
