This is a mix of familiar faces and a few you might not know about absolutely shredding these amazing looking trails! Plenty of gol to check out in this one, so hit play an enjoy!

“You’d never guess it, some of the most perfectly sculpted trails are nestled deep in the Patagonian region of Argentina. Over the last 4 years Neuquén native Marian Arguedas has worked hard to host one of the most unique dirt events to be held in the world. When he’s not manicuring Dirt World Flypark, he’s teaching a Bmx school with all age levels and over 40 kids at the Dirt parks pump track and beginner jumps. If you’re a dirt jumper and you haven’t been here yet, you for sure need to add this place to your bucket list. Big thanks to Marian and the city of Neuquén for supporting Bmx and Dirt World Flypark.” — Anthony Napolitan

Ty Wade – Knucklehead Ninja

December 17, 2019

We’re not too familiar with Ty Wade, but when you send yourself down El Toro and can take a slam like this guy, it’s no surprise that the video had plenty of gems on rails, ledges, rooftops and more. Ty sent it, and he definitely ended up with a BMX video worth taking a look!

“Ty Recently came out to Long Beach to ride and film with the boys for a few weeks. Along the way he encountered a few unfortunate speed bumps and sadly got his bike stolen the first week he was here. After about two weeks with no bike the homies were able to piece him together a new one! Someone even tried to rob him at gunpoint for the new bike but Ty wasn’t having it and was able to make a clean escape. These are the clips we filmed after around a weeks worth of after work filming sessions. Huge shout out to Ty for doing whatever it takes to get shit done and for not being scared to step to any setup in his way like a true Knucklehead Ninja!” – Keegan Bohannon

What A Way To DIY – A BMX Documentary

December 17, 2019

We have seen countless DIY spots over the years. Much like trails, they tend to come and go pretty quick once what is going on at the property is known. Here’s a documentary style video of a rad little DIY spot down in Australia that had a pretty solid run with wood ramps, concrete and more! Although this one has been shut down, it looks like they were able to get plenty of good times and memories out of the place! Take a look!

“Last year Madeline Gourley shot a mini documentary exploring the precarious nature of a D.I.Y park in Melbourne, Victoria. The spot has now been taken over by developers, but on to the next one. Get out there and build it yourself!” – DIG
