Alex Kennedy – Source Park Bre”AK” In
During a recent visit to Hastings, England, Alex Kennedy decided to stop by Source BMX to catch a private after hours session at Source Park. Alex popped the lock and proceeded to shred the street section all night, stacking plenty of dialed clips, and even getting a few dance moves in as well before getting kicked out. This BMX video is a real good watch from start to finish with great riding and dialed film work by Peter Adam, so hit play and enjoy!

Eclat – E440 Rim
Get a look at the new E440 Rim from Eclat!
When it comes to BMX rims, they’re one of those parts that have become so dialed in over the years by brands that it’s the finer details that really make the biggest difference. The crew over at Eclat decided it was time to work on a new rim, and challenged themselves to make a rim that was light weight, but still strong enough to hold up to what their pro team is throwing down in the streets. The new E440 Rim is the end result, and it was exactly what they had in mind. The E440 rim is made from 6061-T6 alloy that is flash welded for a strong joint. It features a super stiff profile with thick sidewalls that are taller for rigidity and straight for brakes. On the inside, you can find a double wall design that puts material where the rim takes the most abuse, and cuts back in places it doesn’t to help reduce the overall rotational weight. They’ve also gone with a “narrower” 34mm width versus the 36mm that Eclat have been using on their other rims, which helps cut down on material and weight as well.

Here’s a new one featuring Radio Bikes connect Raphael Chiquet laying down some flatland moves, along with a look at his current setup. Hit play and take this all in, you won’t be disappointed!

Troy Harradine On Colony BMX
Here’s a bit of news we have a feeling won’t be a complete shock to some of you! Colony BMX have added Troy Harradine to their flow squad down in Australia. As many of you probably know, Troy keeps a consistent flow of real solid videos going and is always putting in work. Colony was stoked on it, and decided to add him to the squad. To celebrate, he built up a brand new Monash setup that you can take a closer look at over on the Colony Website now! Always stoked to see a deserving rider get the hook up!
Cream BMX – No Corran Mixtape
The Cream BMX crew coming through with a fresh mixtape from the streets of Colombia that was filmed over the course of the past three years. This BMX video features a ton of solid riding from the whole squad, most we aren’t all too familiar with. Not only is the riding solid, but the spots are dialed and the film work is solid with a good vibe. Take a look at what these guys cooked up for you.
“Since 2017 we have been carrying out various outings to shoot in our city Barranquilla and also carrying out some trips through cities such as Santa Marta, Cartagena, Cali and Medellin, enjoying each one, a variety of street spots. Also enjoying the street in its maximum splendor, we also had the opportunity to make alliances with riders from other countries such as Chile, and to meet many riders from our own jungle called COLOMBIA. We hope you enjoy every second of this, Thanks to those who made it possible and thanks to all who live on the street and are passionate about this.

Forrest Holland – New Zealand Experience
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02y6qyfyNxw
Here’s a short but sweet edit from a trip Forrest Holland took to New Zealand before everything got crazy. Based on the footage, it looks like he got in some riding, along with a few other things like tattoos, bungee jumping and more. This BMX video has plenty of footage packed into less than two minutes. Take a look!
“We asked for a comment on all the fucked up footage we got from @4Hesh in New Zealand and this is what he had to say, “I didn’t get the coronavirus..”
We are happy he is healthy and obviously is making moves while the world is going apocalyptic on us. what a SICKO!!!” – SLC Punks
