July 9, 2019

It has been a little while since we’ve seen a fresh BMX video from Dean Cueson, but it looks like he’s still crushing it over in the U.K while wrapping up college and healing up from a few injuries. Hopefully this means we’ll start seeing more of Dean again because the dude absolutely CRUSHES it. This is packed with amazing riding, so hit play and take it all in. You can also check out an interview with Dean to give you a better idea of what he’s been up to over on the Ride UK Website!

“We caught up with Dean Cueson for a blast around some parks in the midlands, just before he graduated from uni. Check out how Dean’s still ripping transitions with his signature big airs and quick tech style. We never get tired of seeing Dean send it!” – Ride UK

Clement Carpentier X Robin Bourhis – DO IT YOURSELF

July 9, 2019

Here’s a dialed new one featuring Clement Carpentier and Robin Bourhis out slaying spots in France for DIY Brand. These two came across a ton of great spots and put them to amazing use. This is one BMX video that you’ll want to take a look at for sure!

“It’s always good to see riders getting creative off the bike as well, and that’s exactly what Clement Carpentier has been up to with his clothing brand ‘DIY’. Himself and Robin Bourhis got busy recently for this sick split section with things heating up in a big way towards the end. That last clip is no joke.” – DIG

“I met Robin a few years ago in Paris while participating at the Sosh Urban Motion contest, he was a little kid at that time and I had no idea I was going to launch a brand called DIY. We started to hang out, ride and travel together. When I first thought of this project, I immediately told myself “I want Robin to be a part of it”. We began filming when the brand was not even launched, just because we were having fun in the streets together. That’s what I like about him, about BMX, and that’s what I want DIY to represent. It’s all about fun, and it will always be. Hope you enjoy this video, and expect more of us and the rest of the family soon.” – Clement Carpentier
