The final installment from the Federal Bikes FTS “Lost It” series has arrived, and that means that their full-length FTS video is almost here. The world premiere will be July 5th at the House of Vans In London and it’s bound to be a rager of a party. Until then, check out 7 minutes of footage featuring Anthony Perrin, Bruno Hoffmann, Dan Lacey, Joe Jarvis, Ryan Eles and James Cunningham going to work on spots in Europe, the U.S and probably a few other places while dodging missing teeth and more. This is just footage that didn’t make the cut for the final full-length video, and there’s a bunch of wild clips in this that leads us to believe the final video is going to be insane. Hit play and get stoked!

Alessandro Donaggio – Zona Uno

June 12, 2019

There are different levels of commitment when it comes to BMX, and Alessandro Donaggio went all in! After moving from Italy to Barcelona, Spain in search of more opportunities to ride with other riders and some of the worlds spots, it’s safe to say the decision has been a good one. Hit play to watch Alessandro go to work on spots all over his new home. No shortage of gold in this BMX video.

“I’m Alessandro Donaggio, a BMX street rider from a small island of Venice, Italy. I started BMX when I was 16 after I worked hard and finally I had the possibility of buying my first bike. I was the only rider in my town and most of the time I was riding alone, because there was no one else to share my passion with. I soon realized that it wasn’t the right place for me.

I left for Barcelona at 19 and now I have been living here for a year and a half. Riding here is made of early mornings and late nights in between my shifts at work. I realized how much BMX was helping me when things were going wrong, and falling apart; but what’s more important for me is to share my feelings to the people on the streets, and express myself through BMX, as if it was an artform.” – Alessandro Donaggio

Quin Ellis In SoCal

June 11, 2019

Here’s a fresh one from the streets of Southern California for you to check out. Hit play to watch Quin Ellis put his bike and skateboard to good use on a bunch of spots with no shortage of grinds, cranklips, spins and more. Quin definitely delivers with this one, so take a peek!

“21-year-old SoCal local Quin Ellis is in the Fire Academy, so he rides, films, and skates during the few months in between his training because he’ll get dropped if he gets hurt. Sounds crazy, but at least Quin makes it count when he gets the chance because he shreds and makes it look casual, too.” – Our BMX

“When Quin started riding two years ago, he instantly started killing it on a bike so I gave him my old setup and we started a video part not long afterwards. Once he starts working on a trick we don’t leave the spot until it’s in the bag. Several night filming missions that lasted until 7am and a whole lot of work went into this video part. Enjoy some raw street clips of my friend Quin.” — Gordan Macdonald

Eclat BMX – Decoder Tire

June 11, 2019

Are you on the hunt for some new BMX tires? The crew over at Eclat have been working on their new Decoder Tire that is available now! The tire is based off the Fireball tire with some changes to the tread pattern, and it’s available in a street version and a park version depending on the style of riding you’re hoping to do on this! Check out the video above for a look at the tire, then get more details below! The Decoder Tire is landing at BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Eclat worldwide now in black, black with a tan wall, red and white color options. There’s also an Army green with tan sidewall option, but we can’t find photos of it.

“The Decoder Tire the latest addition to the eclat tire family. With a tread pattern based on our super popular Fireball tire, the Decoder uses a much lower profile design with super fine knurling making it fast, grippy and incredibly tough. This lightweight street/ramp tire features a specially designed grind resistant sidewall protection and is available in two casing options, a 60tpi (80psi max) version with a rubber sidewall layer for STREET, and a lighter weight 120tpi (120psi max) version for COMPETITION.”

You can check out more photos and details on the tire over on the Eclat website.
