Rest In Peace, Smillin’ Steve Kennedy

September 5, 2016

It’s always a bummer hearing about BMX losing a great rider. We just found out that last month Smillin’ Steve Kennedy had lost his life when he was struck by a vehicle walking. Not sure on the exact details, but it’s definitely a sad situation. It has been a little while since we’ve heard or seen anything from Steve, but he was still out riding and crushing it like he had been back in 2007 when we interviewed him on the site. Andy Maguire was sitting on some footage that he had and decided to edit up one last video of Steve for everyone to check out. Rest In Peace, Steve!

Here’s an interesting thread on Reddit where there’s a few stories about Steve, there’s also another website setup dedicated to him right here with some stories about him as well.

“On August 7th of this year, the riders in Santa Cruz lost a dear friend. Steve had a contagious smile and could pretty much do anything on a bicycle. We are all going to miss you, friend, ride in peace.”

We want to hear from you! Let us know what you think in the comments below!

The Curious Riding of Andy Maguire and Mario Alonso

July 2, 2016

Andy Maguire decided to make your Saturday awesome by dropping this new split featuring him and Mario Alonso putting in some work out in the streets. This BMX video is packed with a good mix of tricks and spots keeping things interesting from start to finish. You won’t be disappointed.

“I feel like Mario and I have completely different styles, but consistently try to incorporate the element of surprise into our riding. Whether it be riding a spot in a strange way, doing a weird trick, modifying (or not modifying) a spot, or just riding away from something where the viewer is most likely thinking “That guy did that?”, our bikes have given us a means to let the underdog within us come out. Both of us got new bikes around the same time, so it only seemed fitting to cut loose the rest of the footage I had on my hard drive of our old whips. We are also driving a cross country tour of the US from July 9 – August 14th if anyone wants to meet up and ride; chances are, we’ll be coming to a city near you! Thanks for watching.

Andy Maguire – Purple Sprains

December 13, 2015

Normally, Andy Maguire is pretty consistent when it comes to putting BMX videos out. This year, he’s been a little quieter than usual, but that’s because he’s been adulting pretty hard. Between having a real job and getting married, he found plenty of time to stack some clips for this new one that does not disappoint! Hit that play button and see what he cooked up this time around!

“With 18 days left in the year, it’s safe to say that 2015 has been an amazing year for me. On top of all the great riding missions I went on, I also landed a solid job and got married. The first half is an homage to my regular spots in Santa Cruz, while the second half is all footage from the many weekend trips I embarked upon this year. Thanks to everyone who helped film, share spots, drive, or otherwise make this happen. Music by Prince.”

Jibs ‘N Salsa 3 – Midnight Snacks

February 27, 2015

You know it’s going to be a good Friday when Andy Maguire drops a new Jibs ‘N Salsa in the inbox! Check out a bunch of clips that were filmed during the night sessions that him and a few friends got in this winter!

“On the regular, BMXers are out there challenging the every day molds of society. Just about every participant shows the average bystander what the possibilities on a bike can be, from a feeble stall on an over sized curb to a Mr. Dinner on the mega ramp. Outside the realm of “radical tricks,” many BMXers challenge the excuses people create to stay off a bike. “I have a job,” “It’s raining,” “It gets dark at 5,”; we’ve all heard these reasons, but sometimes you have to satisfy the urge no matter what. This winter, the weather conditions obviously weren’t stacked against me, made apparent by shorts and a t-shirt in many of these clips. But sometimes finding the motivation to get out there can be a challenge far greater than weather, responsibilities, lack of people to ride with, etc. I’m greatly looking forward to daylight savings, but I’m happy to know that I was able to get out, jib around, and even film some stuff during one of the least motivating times of the year. Big thanks to Reed and Greg for coming out with me, helping film, and even getting a few clips themselves.
