Subrosa Street Rail Session

November 29, 2019

It has been a while since we’ve seen a proper video from a Subrosa Street Rail session! Here’s a video Subrosa put together featuring their team getting a laidback session in on a few of the rails and extension kits that are available. This is loaded with great riding and a good reminder of some of the setups you can create with the rail and adaptors. Check out the video, then hit up the Subrosa Webstore to get a look at all of the options and pricing. These rails are perfect for a quick driveway session or to mix things up at a spot.

“We had a bunch of Subrosa team riders in town for Sparkys Jam, and around the same time we got a bunch of Subrosa Street Rails in stock at the warehouse.

So we got Simone Barraco, Joris Coulomb, Matt Ray, Trey Jones, Mark Burnett, Bjarki Hardarson, Jiri Blabol, Miguel Smajli, Jabe Jones and Lewis Colascione and caught an afternoon session on each of the Subrosa Street Rail kits to show you some awesome riding, and what the Subrosa Street Rail and all the kits can do.

The rail and kits are available at Subrosa Dealers worldwide and shop.subrosabrand.com”

Verde – Kurt Perkins “Jaunt”

November 29, 2019

It has been a minute since we’ve seen some fresh Kurt Perkins footage, but he’s been out there shredding cement transitions and trails from Utah to California, the U.K and more! Here’s his latest for Verde Bikes that is packed with flow, style and cranked turndowns. This is a real good watch, so don’t pass it up!

“Utah’s Kurt Perkins has been running hot for Verde Bikes since early 2019. The dude has style for days and goes insanely high on all terrains. Balancing time between a full-time gig as a machinist and a globe-trotting BMX rider, Kurt put this edit together with various worldwide homies behind the camera during his travels this year. Filmed in Utah, California, New Zealand, the UK and points in between. The final cut was edited by Kurt himself. Hit it and get it!” – DIG

Bone Deth have released Josh Delarosa‘s section from their “Too Fast For Food” DVD online for your viewing pleasure! This is one of the crazier sections with a TON of big gaps, roof drops, grinds on things that probably shouldn’t have grinds done on it (from a safety standpoint, haha) on and more! Josh went all in for this section and it ended up being absolute madness. Check it out!

“Diehard deadman Josh Delarosa has gone bananas appealing to food fetish BMXers all over with waxing rails with banana peels and jumping off of buildings for his Bone Deth ‘Too Fast for Food’ section.” – DIG
