June 25, 2020

What were you doing in 1996? Since I have a feeling a good number of people checking this out may not have existed yet, or were super young at the time, it wouldn’t be a complete surprise that they weren’t watching the Schwinn “American Muscle” video that coincidentally featured a few of BMX’s legends that you might be familiar with. The crew at Snakebite BMX uploaded 13 minutes of raw behind the scenes footage filmed during a mini ramp session. Back with full face helmets, front and back brakes were the norm. Plenty of gold packed into this one, so hit play and take it all in!

“While filming for the infamous Schwinn video Osato & Miron decided to drive south of the border and ride my friend Andrews ramps. Andrew had his camera that day and filmed the session. Featuring Dave Osato, Jay Miron, Andrew Ryser, Ben Marin, Rich Hirsch, Jason Enns, & Nathan Penonzek.
At the end there are a few clips at Jarek’s ramp it that was not in the same town.” – Snakebite BMX

Weird & Revered – Tyler Horness “Vagabond Squad” Section

June 24, 2020

The sections from the Weird & Revered “Vagabond Squad” DVD continue to flow! Here’s a look at Tyler Horness‘ section loaded with park and street goodness. Tyler brings a good mix of tricks to the spots, keeping things interesting from start to finish!

““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

“Tyler has incredible bike control, a well-developed style, and is constantly learning new and difficult tricks. I’m not really into the idea of saying that someone is ‘the best,’ especially in BMX when everything is so variable and so subjective. However, I think many of the Edmonton locals would agree with me that Tyler Horness is probably the best rider in our city. This video part is just a small taste of Tyler’s skills on a bike.” – Justin Schwanke
