Lux BMX – Samson Ross “Aeterna” Section

March 2, 2020

Lux BMX coming through with another section from their “Aeterna” video for your viewing pleasure. This time around we get a look at Samson Ross‘ section loaded with clips from street, park, trails and pool footage. Samson brings a good mix of tricks from double tire rides to grinds, bike flips and more! Take a look!

“Hailing from the sunshine coast Samson’s talents never seem to end from fishing to ceramics or mind-melting BMX tricks, Samson can do it all. It’s this very reason he has had a seat on the LUXBMX family for a long time. When the talk of a Full-length Video started naturally Samson got to work, and with Mike Vockenson at the helm, we knew we were in for a treat.
What they came up with was truly a representation of both Samson’s riding and a positive attitude to life. From carefully calculated tyre rides down handrails to getting lofty on the trails, Samsons Aeterna section will keep you watching from start to finish.” – Lux BMX

United – Jack Dumper Campus Pool Session

March 1, 2020

We’re always stoked on some fresh Jack Dumper footage! Here’s a new one United put together from a pretty laidback session he caught at a park over in Bristol! As always, Jack produces a ton of great riding and never ceases to blow our minds with what he’s able to do despite only having one arm. The fact that he can get all of this done by simply tying off a sweatshirt sleeve to his handlebars is so amazing. It also looks like Jack just keeps getting better and smoother, making for a real good watch. Check it out!

“So I never digitized MaddMatt. I only released it on VHS. So it has kind of been a lost tape, and it documented such a great era. Mad Matt 1995. This will flash you back to the mid 90s. I made this video with the Great Mark Eaton, and some of the raddest of the rad that helped build my dream. We worked and played hard. DIY to the core.
I called it Madd Matt because I felt we were fighting to survive and we were making a new world, and for some reason that made me think of Mad Max?
Anyway, thanks for digitizing this for me Kenny Horton and check out his new film.” – Mat Hoffman
