Battle of Hastings 2020 – Date & Team Captains Announced

July 1, 2020

Source BMX have announced that the 2020 Battle of Hastings will be going down September 4th – 6th! This year, due to COVID, it sounds like the event will be different from the past few years with it being a closed event that will be streamed online for everyone to enjoy, keeping the riders safe and reducing the risk of spreading things. This may be tricky since the hyped up crowd undoubtedly helped the riders in the past, but it’s the right move.

Source BMX have also announced the team captains for the contest! Sergio Layos, Tom Justice, Courage Adams, Simone Barraco, Alex Kennedy, Ben Wallace, Stuart Chisholm and Kilian Roth! Each rider will be picking other riders for their team, so expect to get those announcements soon!

Either way, we’re super stoked to see they found a way to make this one happen!

“Battle Of Hastings returns to The Source Park this September 4th-6th

After what has been a year of BMX contests and more being cancelled, we are beyond stoked to announce that #BOHBMX will return seeing some of the worlds best compete behind closed doors for a live stream focussed event!

Here are your captains and stay tuned for regular updates at SOURCEBMX.COM/BOH”

Weird & Revered – Justin Schwanke “Vagabond Squad” Section

July 1, 2020

Here’s one we’ve been looking forward to. Justin Schwanke‘s section from the Weird & Revered “Vagabond Squad” DVD is now online. Justin pulled double duty for this one as the filmer and editor, along with filming a full section packed with creative and unique riding from start to finish. Justin has a unique style that is very unpredictable, and will leave you guessing just what he’s going to do next. Needless to say, his section turned out super good from all the parks and parks he rode, to his backyard and garage ramps. Hit play because this one doesn’t disappoint!

““Vagabond Squad” is a full-length video from Canada’s Weird & Revered crew. Filmed from 2016 to 2019, the project is community rooted with a strong focus on the Edmonton BMX scene. Although a majority of the clips are from the crew’s home city, the footage spans 9 countries, 8 American states, and 4 Canadian provinces and territories.” – DIG

Winter Procedure

June 30, 2020

It’s weird thinking about winter with it being so damn hot out lately, but there’s still footage surfacing from the colder months. Here’s a new mix featuring Dan Banks, Thomas Roulston and Guy Scroggie going to work on street spots over in Glasgow, Scotland! Despite the cooler temps and wet weather, it looks like these guys had no trouble stacking clips or this one. Hit play and check out what they whipped up!

“Not even the Scottish winter can keep the Procedure dudes indoors. Luc Lynch-Rice spent the colder months following the likes of Dan Banks, Thomas Roulston and Guy Scroggie, documenting his friends and the city with his Super 8 cam in hand, and usually under the cover of darkness. Just under 6 minutes of northern grit.” – DIG
