Lux BMX – Denby Chandler “Aeterna” Section

April 3, 2020

The crew at Lux BMX have uploaded another gem from their “Aeterna” DVD online for your viewing pleasure. This time around we get a look at Denby Chandler‘s section that’s just over 5 minutes of rail and ledge destruction! The amount of rails Denby charged for this one is awesome. You definitely do not want to pass this BMX video up if you’re looking for grinds.

“A powerhouse and relatively new name to the Australian scene Denby Chandler has come in with his pegs swinging. Not afraid to “see what happens” Denby’s approach to riding can be terrifying at times to onlookers and passes by. The power and willingness to give something a try have well and truly been displayed in the final section of LUXBMX’s Aeterna DVD. Coming down the range from Toowoomba several years ago Denby got to work quickly showing Brisbane that he was here to stay. Turning any spot into his next victim Denby was able to finish an apprenticeship while going out and crunching his body every weekend. The man-child handles big setups with a sense of power that only Denby can create.” – Lux BMX

Islands BMX Shop coming through with a short but sweet BMX video featuring Josue “Pinky” de Leon going to work on street spots, parks and trails over in Tenerife! These are a mix of unseen clips from the past, but as always, Pinky’s style is timeless! Hit play and take a look at this since it’s a real good watch!

“This pandemic brings out the most hidden clips of one of Josué de León (Pinky)

The San Diego rider shows us a fluency (which almost borders on disrespect) in different spots on the island of Tenerife.

As always, his boys (pika, ville, giovanni, rubio, felipe) have been in charge of recording his exploits during these years, but Josué is very devoted to saving, and now he finds that there are days to go before so many loose clips expire and expire. lose.

Filmmaker Chris Lycan, now more focused on the world of Mushing, finds time to edit this little edit and shape our dear Pinky’s ideas.

All this as always enlivened by adult and heartfelt music that reflects the age of this lagoon Rider. It matures without pressure and remains faithful to its style and lifestyle. Lee Fields & The Expressions brought up this song thinking of pinky back in 2012 FAITHFUL MAN

PS: now you have no choice but to wait for this quarantine to end, to be able to go out with your bike and try to do it like Josué does, we are sorry it will be difficult for you. Poing” – Islands BMX

Brian Tunney – March 2020 Clips

April 3, 2020

There’s a lot of uncertainty in the world these days, but fortunately there are some things that are still there to keep the sanity. Things started getting real weird over the course of March, but Brian Tunney kept things normal by catching his solo flatland sessions. Here’s a look at what he was able to come up with while keeping his distance. Bonus points for having an audio track with this one! Take a look!

“How the hell did I manage to ride the past month? I don’t really know. When the month began, things were still semi-normal and riding was just something I did to pass the time and have fun. Then, the first week ended and things started getting really weird fast.

To maintain a sense of normalcy, I forced myself out of the house to ride a few times, and then some more. At first, avoiding the news, getting away from it all, was not something I wanted to do. But as I’ve learned in the past, going through the routine, even when it’s not something you might want to do, helps.

So I did just that. And apparently, the rest of the world decided to go outside at the same time. At first, the semi-empty park filled up with people quick. And then, the cops took out the basketball hoops and closed off the playground, and suddenly, Redondo Beach became a ghost town. If you listen to this video, as the month progresses, the background noises become less and less.

I’m not sure of what might happen tomorrow or next week, but I’m gonna continue to go do old, shitty flatland tricks because it helps me push on.” – Brian Tunney
