Lux BMX – Brock Olive “Aeterna” Part

February 10, 2020

Lux BMX have uploaded another dialed section from their “Aeterna” DVD online for your viewing pleasure. This time around we get plenty of heat from Brock Olive as he went to work slaying spots down in Australia with big grind combos, heavy stairset drops and more! You do NOT want to miss this BMX video!

“A household name in the Australian BMX scene, Brock Olive has made a name for himself by incorporating his effortless style into bigger setups. Brock has been making waves with his insanely technical style for years. Brock’s Aeterna section is a testament to his riding as he hits some of the best, most remote spots around Australia.

The international pro and LUX’s mail-order extraordinaire put his skills and bike to the test during the duration of the filming for Aeterna. From big feeble hard 360s on out-ledges to mind-melting back-wheel wizardry the second section starts with a bang as Brock spins, grinds, manuals, and lands just about every tick imaginable. With his insane array of tricks and calm smooth style, Brock’s Aeterna section doesn’t disappoint!” – Lux BMX

Mic’d Up With Ryan Nyquist – Simple Session 20

February 9, 2020

Whenever the snack champion, Ryan Nyquist, gets a camera and a mic in front of him, you know you’re going to get a ton of laughs. Ryan was Mic’d up during a Simple Session practice. As expected, Ryan was full on trash talking, getting some gossip on the money situation from contests and sponsors, throwing down, wanting to ride for Corny and more. This is just shy of 19 minutes, and well worth a look if you want to get some laughs and see some dialed riding.

“It’s been four years since I did a mic’d up with Ryan Nyquist (in the Ride BMX), so I figured it was time we do another. Jump on board with the legend as he pokes and prods his fellow competitors (mostly Boyd Hilder) during practice at Simple Session 2020.” – Our BMX

On The Ride – Marvin Mayer

February 8, 2020

Here’s one for the people who like some real clean film work and a laidback vibe used for BMX videos. This one is fairly light on the tricks, as it’s mostly footage of Marvin Mayer cruising the streets of Frankfurt, Germany, but the filming and editing are real solid making for a great watch. This one is well worth a look!

“‘On the ride’ shows the in Mainz based BMX rider Marvin Mayer cruising through Frankfurt and showing of easy skills.

This project was Directed by me (Nima Rafiee) and Filmed with Tim Krämer in assistance with Hendrik Bema and Flemming Fuchs.

Song #1: Figub Brazlevič – Méditerranée
Song #2: Maedwun – Reminisce

Special thanks to Justin Peach for his support and critique and to Pille Filmverleih Wiesbaden for their spontanious action in supporting us with equipment.” – Nima Rafiee

A post shared by Lara Lessmann (@lara_lessmann) on Feb 8, 2020 at 6:25am PST

It always seems that we see a bit of sponsor news pop up at Simple Session, which makes plenty of sense with it being early in the year and there being no shortage of cameras around to take in the event. It looks like Lara Lessmann will be bringing her wings with her to the course this weekend because she’s now doing it for Red Bull. We’re pretty sure Lara is the first female freestyle BMX rider to represent Red Bull, which is awesome to see. Lara has been tearing it up for the past few years and we’re sure we’ll see plenty of great riding from her this weekend and into the future! Check out her post on Instagram above where she dropped the news.
