Andy Maguire dropped a new 23 minute mix from the San Jose crew.

We’re always stoked when Andy Maguire drops a new video. Here’s a fresh one he put together with over 20 minutes of footage he collected while out riding with friends around the San Jose area. This has a ton of real solid riding with a laid back vibe, making for a real good watch. Get on that play button and take a look!

““Over the hill” is a common phrase in Santa Cruz used to refer to the 20-30 minute drive over the winding and often heavily trafficked Highway 17 into San Jose. For many locals, San Jose might as well be the other side of the world. “Over the hill” is also an expression used to describe someone as passed their prime. A few weeks shy of turning 37 and still riding BMX, I sometimes feel this way as the sessions get shorter, my muscles get more sore, and the time to ride gets fewer and far between. However, the last two years have left me very energized to ride as a way to maintain friendships, fulfill goals, and bring positivity to a world that seems to get bleaker by the day. This video celebrates the many trips over the hill by either myself or my riding homies that live on the other side, and to appreciate the greater world outside of our respective bubbles. Finally, the passing of our beloved BMX brother, Jeff Murphy, further helped me respect the precious moments we create on our bikes, as well as the love the BMX community brings to help us through even some of the darkest times. Thanks for watching!” – Andy Maguire

It has been a little while since we’ve seen a fresh BMX video from Andy Maguire, but he’s been busy living that dad life, which has cut back on the riding time, and time to make new videos. Fortunately he had some time to put together this new one from clips he’s been filming over the course of the past few years with his friends. Despite having less time, Andy still ended up coming through with some gold that we’re really stoked on featuring him and a few others going to work on spots. Hit play and check out just what they cooked up! Hopefully once things calm down a bit he’ll be able to find a little time to keep these videos coming!

“I knew that when my son was born, big life changes were sure to come. I didn’t think I’d end up sitting on two years of footage, only to get around to editing it because I was in the midst of a global pandemic. The thing is, I’ve had most of this on a timeline over the course of those two years, but it never felt right. It felt incomplete, jumbled, and a little lazy, much like that junk drawer most people seem to have in their kitchen. But when I revisited this, I started to rearrange some footage and make changes that made this feel a little more forgiving to my previous expectations. Seeing it all again through the lens of being a father, husband, employee and a bike rider(with drastically reduced hours), it didn’t feel like I was settling short. We always want to better, but sometimes you actually find what you need in that junk drawer. Once it’s organized in a functional way, it no longer has to be this cringeworthy thing in your life. So this edit is to celebrate riding while taking on new responsibilities, appreciate those who have moved in and out of town, the crew that has been with me for over a decade, the music they make, and those who might not be able to ride. Times can be difficult, but bike riding has made us strong, flexible, and capable of overcoming so many obstacles in the physical and mental realm. Enjoy!” – Andy Maguire
