Valencia Awakes

January 22, 2020

It’s always pretty amazing what different riders can bring to a place. Here’s a perfect example of what 30 riders from all over Spain threw down during their 30 day stay in Valencia, Spain! Excellent riding and great spots lead to 30 minutes of footage that’s well worth a look. This will definitely leave you wanting to go to Valencia, so hit play and enjoy!

This video also reminds us of the Brighton Ain’t Ready videos that dropped a bunch of pro riders in Brighton, England over the course of a summer. Who remembers that one?

“This is awesome. 30 riders in the city of Valencia, Spain during the course of a month. With the likes of Fernando Laczko, Miguel Cuesta, Carlos Vinuesa, Pinky, Jaume Sintes, Diego Montergo and more this is one you don’t want to miss on. Plus those spots… oh man.

“With the help of different BMX shops in Spain, more than 30 riders came to Valencia during a period of 30 days to film all around the city .

Different shops from the country worked together to push riders and show all of you guys that Spanish BMX is alive and doing well.

Thanks again to all the shops and people involved, Edgar Barbera and Frame Magazin for filming!”
