It’s Friday and that means that it is time for Brant Moore to give you a full recap of the top BMX videos and news from the week. This weeks video is shorter and more straight to the point than usual, but Brant recaps a lot of the key things that popped up! Check out what he had to say above, then links to everything he talks about in the video.
Unicorn – Apocalypse Project
Here’s one we’re not quite sure how we missed with it having nearly a half a million views already! The Unicorn crew over in France put together this apocalypse style video of BMX and skate riding on some trashed up spots, along with a little CGI to simulate what riding would be like after a nuclear war. Although I doubt there would be much left after a nuclear bomb goes off, this is still really good with great riding and dialed film work. Take a peek! After you watch this, you can see a behind the scenes video below!
