Diego Bravo “I Eat BMX”

July 14, 2019

It’s always rad checking out a video of a rider you have never heard of, and the dude absolutely shreds. Here’s a fresh one featuring Diego Bravo going to work on spots galore out in California putting his pegs to heavy use, sending it on some drops and more! Hit play and get familiar!

“I met Diego Bravo almost two years ago when he first moved to SoCal from a small town in Ecuador. Since then I’ve watched him go from doing his first ever handrail to doing smiths, feebles and rail rides that some pros won’t even step to. Sadly, we decided to cut filming shot due to some injuries, but I hope you enjoy our last years worth of efforts as I present to you, Diego Bravo, I EAT BMX.” — Keegan Bohannon

Shawn Shimkets ‘Murica Jam

July 14, 2019

It’s always rad to see what’s going down in Shawn Shimkets‘ backyard trails setup out in California. Over the years we’ve seen footage from the place, but it looks like it keeps getting more and more dialed! Hit play to check out highlights from the ‘Murica Jam, along with some insight from Shawn on what it takes to keep that place rolling!

“Shawn Shimkets has been building up his backyard into his own personal paradise for several years. A few times a year, he sends the invite for everyone to come meet up, have some beers, and enjoy all his hard work. I did a straight-forward riding edit from his halloween jam for Ride last year and this time, I felt like riding for a majority of the day, so I kept it simple this time around and just filmed a few clips (after I ate shit, haha) and got some words from Shawn about his spot. Into this format? Not into it?” -Ryan Fudger / Our BMX

DIY Detroit or Bust

July 13, 2019

DIY spots are a lot like trails. They can be there one day, and gone the next. Some of the crew up in Detroit recently spent some time cruising at a DIY spot before things got shut down. Check out a bunch of clips featuring a handful of familiar faces and a few new ones going to work on the setup they built inside this abandoned building.

“How does the saying go? “As one door closes, another one opens”… Well, that’s exactly what happened to the Detroit scene when their DIY park got the wrecking ball treatment… kinda. Soon as one was gone, another DIY was born, only to be shut down once again. Luckily the crew managed to a couple of days fun before it was all over. Dylan Thayer explains more…” – DIG

“End of April 2019, word was out that one of the local DIY parks in Detroit was closing/being demolished. Meanwhile, some homies found a covered spot (this) which was possibly going to be the replacement location. With it already having a few things already built inside, seeming like a prefect new location for a new DIY beginning. I decided to start filming some riding, hoping to catch some attention of more people to be involved. When unfortunately police stopped by and gave the boot explaining not to come back because the city literally just built a Bike/skate Plaza down by the river side. (which is one of the few things i’m working on currently) So this is everything filmed in the first and only two days at what we thought was going to be the new DIY spot.” – Dylan Thayer

United – Fernando Laczko “Up North Down South”

July 12, 2019

It has been quite some time since we’ve seen a new video from Fernando Laczko due to him having knee surgery and taking time to recover properly. Now that he’s back, it looks like he’s feeling good on his bike and ended up taking most of the past year to film this BANGER of a video for United! Everything about this from the riding to the spots, filming and editing are on point, and you will definitely not want to miss this one! Hit play and enjoy. Hopefully this means we’ll be seeing plenty more of Fernando in 2019!

“Following on from a year long ACL and meniscus recovery, United’s Fernando Laczko was ready to go in hard on a video, and after nine months of filming it turned out to be one of his best to date. Shot throughout Spain – Fernando definitely pushed the boat out on this one. Gap to grinds galore!” – DIG

“The whole idea to film with Gonzalo was because I just came back from a recovery and wanted to take as much time as I needed to work on a video. I usually go on one week trips where the video needs to be finished after that. The last time I had the chance to take my time was for my welcome to United video.

This was filmed over a duration of 9 months and has taken us all around Spain. From me going back and forth to Madrid and Gonzalo taking trips down here, we did a 7 day trip from Vigo to Madrid stopping in different cities such as Bilbao and Pamplona.

For me it’s more than a web video. If someone asked me to film a video part for a dvd I would give them this. I had that thought in my head while filming it if you know what I mean?

It was almost like I was filming an imaginary video part for myself. My “mentality” had finally returned after one year of ACL and meniscus recovery, I could finally ride without having the worry in the back of my mind.

I picked Gonzalo cuz’ he’s the man in Spain to film with. We became friends while he was filming a homie and I knew I wanted to work on something with him ever since.” – Fernando Laczko
