The X Games keeping their World of X Games series going strong. This time around they caught up with Cory Nastazio to talk about what he’s been doing in quarantine, his riding and how he has been staying constant since the 90’s and still keeping going strong these days and more. It’s a real interesting listen, so hit play and take it all in!

“The world of BMX Dirt has many characters, but none bigger than Cory “Nasty” Nastazio. Since the mid 1990s, Cory has been riding progressive dirt competitions, bringing some of the world’s biggest backflips with style to the front of the pack. And what’s better is, he’s still going. While the rest of Cory’s graduating BMX Dirt class at X Games has moved on, Cory is still out there pushing the boundaries of dirt riding well into his 40s, while, remaining a good father, husband and family man. A consummate professional, Nasty recently down with Brando to discuss quarantine life circa 2020. This is Nasty’s World.” – X Games

Every time we see one of these bikes pop up, we are more and more stoked on the idea and curious just what it’s like riding one. Traxxmedia, who have been producing all of the Fingers Crossed videos, just uploaded a video they had submitted giving us a look at what it’s like from a POV perspective riding one of these bikes on a downhill MTB park over in the Czech Republic.

One other interesting thing is there’s a prototype of a bike being made right now that could possibly go into production in the near future. Check out the Instagram post from Ruben Alcantara below!

“Straight from Czeck Republic @votja_panek bring us this video riding his DIY full suspension BMX made by @tbbbike at @bikeparkkoprivna.

This video shows the endless possibilities of an fingerscrossedbmx style bike and how it can be ridden at any bikepark.

It’s amazing to see fast evolution of the @fingerscrossedbmx family around the globe with more and more bikes poppoing up every day.

United – Darren Van Wyk Welcome Video

July 10, 2020

United have added Darren Van Wyk to their line up over in London! Here’s his welcome video that starts out with some tears, then Darren proceeds to shred a few spots to get the job done! Take a look!

“Welcome to the team Darren!

In the recent events that have unfolded across the world, setting out to make a welcome edit has been a bit of a task especially in London. Park closures and police patrol certainly slowed things down. To complicate things even further Darren had to cut filming short due to taking a nasty crash but being the savage he is he’s back on his feet and will be rippin’ again in no time!

Speedy recovery Boyki and welcome to the team!” – United
