ATX SPRING 2019 – Freedom, Love & Fresh Water

June 7, 2019

Maxime Bonfil coming through with a video from his 3 month visit to Austin, Texas where he spent his time cruising around the city, blasting bowls, taking in the sights and more. Check out this rad edit he got from his visit!

“-March, April, May 2019
-Austin,TX
-Freedom, Love & Fresh Water
-I chose this title because in France we have an expression about all we need to live is love and fresh water (d’amour et d’eau fraîche) and that pretty much sums up my feelings in my life 🙂 but, of course, I had to add freedom because it’s also my definition of BMX. Thank you for watching ��

Keep It Rolling “440 Volts” – Full Video

June 6, 2019

The Keep It Rolling crew sent over a link to their full “440 Volts” DVD that is now online for your viewing pleasure. This video is split between BMX and Skate footage with some laughs mixed in there as well, which we don’t get all too often. This is a real good watch, so hit play and take in all 440 volts…

“Well, almost a year ago we put out our second full length video. A lot of hard work and good times were put into this project and I’m proud of it for what it is. This video was done at a sort of transitional period in my life from living in Salem, Virginia and filming mostly skateboarding. To living in Richmond and filming mostly BMX. I feel I’ve come such a long way in just the year since we finished this video and am excited to start more K.I.R projects so be on the look out. -Donnie
