Here’s a fresh video we had sent through featuring Egor Vlasov going to work on street spots galore over in Sochi, Russia. This has some excellent film work and real solid riding on a bunch of different spots, making for an entertaining watch. Take a look!
“The guys found the most delicious places in Sochi, to give you a special atmosphere, which covers the very first seconds of the video. Shot Sergei. Kata Egor Vlasov.”
The other day we got a look at Tyler Veatch‘s welcome to the Sunday Bikes flow team video (re-embedded below if you missed it), and it was jam packed with some damn good riding. Today we get a look at the B-Sides which is just over 9 minutes of raw footage filled with crashes, second angles, scraps and more. Take a look at all the work Tyler put in for this one!
“Tyler Veatch put in some serious work for his recent “Welcome to Sunday” video. This behind-the-scenes piece by Troy Cooper gives you a look at what Ty went through while doing the damn thang.” – Sunday Bikes
Watch Ty’s official welcome edit right here:
“We added Tyler Veatch to the Sunday flow team last year, and his kickass, freshly-completed welcome video makes it clear his spot is well-deserved – Tyler is a street boss who’s not afraid to send it.” – Walter Pieringer / Sunday Team Manager
“Tyler and I have been working on this for a while now. The dude put in tons of work starting right after the Thank You “Fresh Meat” video. Tyler surprises me every time he rides a bike, the fool will just keep getting worked but then gets back up and keeps going. Tyler is one of the hardest working dudes I have seen ride a bike and to work on this project with him was an honor. I hope everyone loves this video and can see how much work he put into it. Just sit back, grab a snack, and just enjoy my Ty’s, and I’s hard work and relax! Thank you! Hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.” – Troy Cooper / @TMC150

It’s always interesting to see how outside media sources take a look at BMX, and this is definitely one of the better jobs we’ve seen done. Recently, a news channel in Rochester, New York dropped by the Kink and Blackout Distribution warehouse to find out more about the brands and the owner, Zack Phillips who has been making things happen out east for 25 years now! This gives us a look at the product, a small portion of the warehouse and more. It’s an interesting watch for sure, especially if you’re curious about the behind the scenes side of BMX!

Are you thinking about learning how to manual on a BMX bike? Here’s a How To video teaching you how to manual on a BMX bike featuring Demarcus Paul who gives you a TON of examples and advice to get it done right. This is one of those tricks that takes a lot of practice and something you pretty much always will be working on to get them better and better. It’s also a trick that you can push yourself with whether it’s distance or mixing it into lines to crazy Courage Adams combos. Check it out!
“Manuals are about as essential to riding BMX as it gets. It makes cruising down the street more fun, it makes hills the best thing ever, and it can connect every trick you’ll ever learn to every other trick you’ll ever learn. We hit up Demarcus Paul, who’s known for being rather good at manuals, and had him run through the basics…” – Our BMX
Anyone who has had the chance to cross paths with Mykel Larrin knows that he’s not only one hell of a BMX rider, but he’s also an amazing human that is kind, humble and all in all a lot of fun to be around. Mykel grew up in the Midwest and he definitely hasn’t forgotten what it took to get to where he is today. The X Games dropped this piece where Mykel tells his story from how he got into BMX, getting into contests, making the choice to ride professionally over finishing college, being homeless and more. If you weren’t already a fan of Mykel, you will be after you watch this!
“From humble beginnings in Racine, Wisconsin, BMX rider Mykel Larrin discovered the local skatepark and inadvertently met his mentor, Kuko Padilla. With a new bike, a desire to learn and an eventual dream to turn pro, Mykel Larrin became a super local at the skatepark, learning to ride transitions of all types in the process.
“The skatepark changed the trajectory of my life,” says Larrin. “And the community that existed at the skatepark kept so many kids off the street.”
With his dreams set in motion, Larrin continued to focus on school and BMX riding, traveling to local competitions and demos throughout the Midwest. Eventually, the demanding schedule caught up with Larrin and he was forced to make a choice: continue college or pursue BMX riding.
Larrin chose to put school on hold and pursued BMX riding. Following international trips to do BMX demonstrations for Armed Forces members in the Middle East, and a few choice contest placings, Mykel Larrin was invited to ride X Games. From there, the proverbial sky has been the limit for Larrin.
This is Being Mykel Larrin.
Mykel Larrin is competing in two events at X Games Minneapolis 2019: BMX Vert at 7 p.m. CT on Thursday, August 1 and BMX Big Air at 8:45 p.m. CT on Friday, August 2. ” – X Games

It has been a while since Trey Jones has uploaded a video to the FloriDeah Youtube channel, but it looks like he’s back at it with this new Talkin’ series (assuming it’s a series since it says this is part 1 in the description) that appears to be just a bunch of random footage he has compiled on his phone the past few weeks or so. The footage is raw and random, but it’s entertaining. Take a look!
