BSD – Best of Transmission

BSD takes a look back at their best footage from their “Transmission” DVD…

Like they always say, time flies when you’re having fun. The “Transmission” DVD was released two years ago already. BSD decided to go through and pull out the best footage and pack it into this dialed edit for your viewing pleasure. If you want a reminder of how good the “Transmission” video is, this is a good reminder. After you watch this, go re-watch the full video right here — “Full “Transmission” video!

“Having missioned around the globe for two years stacking ridiculous riding clips with the BSD team on over 10 trips it’s nearly impossible to choose the best of them, but here we go. This edit marks the 2 year anniversary of Transmission’s world wide premiere in Glasgow with a selection of just some of the highlights from Dan Paley, David Grant, Sam Jones, Mike Jersey Taylor, Matt Allpress, Jason Teet, Luc Legrand, Liam Zingbergs, Kriss Kyle, Reed Stark and Alex Donnachie’s sections from the 2016 BSD Transmission DVD.

Leave a Comment

BSD coming through with some raw Alex Donnachie clips from Unit 23 Skatepark…

It has been a little while since we’ve seen footage from Alex Donnachie since he’s been healing up from knee surgery the past few months, but it looks like he still had some footage that hadn’t been used. BSD just uploaded this raw batch of clips featuring Alex slaying Hall 2 at Unit 23 with grind combos and lines. Take a look and get your Alex D. fix!

“Alex Donnachie filmed a bunch of crazy tech in Unit23’s Hall 2 over the winter before going under the knife for ACL surgery. This stuff’s been on Instagram but we thought the riding deserves to be cut together and put in one place to be watched. Enjoy…” – BSD

The Alex Donnachie signature Donnastreet tire from BSD is now available in Gum…

Looking for some new BMX Tires? The crew over at BSD have released the Alex Donnachie signature Donnastreet Tire in this new Gum colorway. The Donnastreet tire is based off the original Donnasqueak tire with the same grippy rubber compound the has a nice squeak on smooth surfaces, but has a smoother tread pattern for better grip on street and sidewalls that give you a little more clearance for grinds. These tires have a tear resistance 60TPI silkworm casing and come in wirebead only with 2.30″ and 2.40″ sizes that weigh in at 24.33 oz. (2.30″) and 25.39 oz. (2.40″). If you aren’t feeling the Gum, you can also find the tires in Black, White and Surplus green!

The Donnastreet tires are available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry BSD worldwide now!

It’s always a good day when BSD released a new video. Here’s a fresh one that’s been waiting a few months to see the light of day featuring Alex Donnachie, Sam Jones and Greg Layden getting down in Riga, Latvia last summer. As always, these three produced and the city had plenty of dialed spots to work with. Add in some great film work and you have a BMX video you won’t want to pass up!

“Last summer Alex Donnachie, Sam Jones and Greg Layden were lucky enough to make two trips to Riga in Latvia to ride at GGFest and Simple Summer Session, they also managed to film this video on the streets of Riga.

Monster – The Ramp II: Alex Donnachie and Kevin Kalkoff

1 Comment

The final video from “The Ramp” series has arrived and Alex Donnachie and Kevin Kalkoff put it to work!

It’s been a while since Monster Energy has released a “The Ramp” video, so we were pretty surprised to see this video being released. We’re not quite sure why the video has been sitting for over a year, but that’s okay since Alex Donnachie and Kevin Kalkoff absolute CRUSHED IT! Get on that play button and enjoy this!

““The Ramp” finale…finally. Shot in the middle of 2016, various obstacles and periods of nothingness have let this video sleep dormant for far too long. But, I think it shows how timeless The Ramp can be, as the riding from Kevin and Alex still stand up to the level of riding today. I know it’s only been a year and a half, but progression happens fast these days.

Sit back, relax, and watch as Monster’s Alex Donnachie and Kevin Kalkoff put the final touches to this project.” – Monster Energy
