March 18, 2016

Mark Losey has just uploaded the entire “Pro Town: Greenville” BMX video he produced online for everyones viewing pleasure! This video came out back in 2011 right around the time Greenville was a huge BMX scene. Although things have calmed down there over the years, it’s still one of BMX’s most well known places in the world. This video features Dave Mirra, Ryan Nyquist and pretty much every other big name rider that has called the place home over the years, giving you some insight into what it was like living there, along with plenty of amazing riding and hilarious extras. Hit play and take this all in! Rest in Peace, Dave. It’s safe to say this video would likely not have happened without you.

“How did a small town hidden in North Carolina become the epicenter of competitive action sports? And what happens when best friends become each others’ main competition? With 34 pros and 21 Gold Medals, Greenville, North Carolina is unlike any town in any sport. The pros themselves explain how Greenville became so important, and what life is really like in Pro Town USA. Featuring elite action sports athletes including Dave Mirra, Ryan Nyquist, Ryan Guettler, Colin Mackay, Allan Cooke, Colin Winkelmann, Marcus Tooker, Austin Coleman, Josh Perry, Kelly Bolton, and many more. This 44-minute film examines what makes this incredible scene tick, with some of the best action of all time, and access that could only come from a true insider.”

“Professional BMX’ers Ryan Nyquist and Allan Cooke teach you how to do nothing and still get awesome! Nothing’s require you to remove both your hands and feet from the bike at the same time.
