Kieran Reilly On Red Bull

Leave a Comment

Here’s some news I thought I posted the other day, but a bunch of you probably heard by now that Kieran Reilly has been added to the Red Bull U.K team! Up top is a video Bas Keep put together showing how he surprised Kieran with the news, along with some footage showing his incredible progress over the years. You can also check out Kieran’s video he uploaded on his channel down below with some footage from the session after he got the news. We can imagine that was an amazing day for everyone involved. Check it out, and expect to see plenty more of Kieran in the near future!

“His childhood dream since 10 years old was to be sponsored by Red Bull! We surprised him with the news! EMOTIONAL!
I am beyond proud of how far this kid has come and how hard he has worked to get here! Love you mate!
Featuring Kieran Reilly Sebastian Keep and matt Harris” – Bas Keep

Tall Order – Four Riders Against the Worlds Best

Leave a Comment

We were wondering when Tall Order would drop their next video from the Source BMX “Battle of Hastings” contest! Here is a look at what went down in practice and the best trick contest for the team! Although they didn’t make it into the final, they were definitely keeping the crowd stoked! Check it!

“The Battle of Hastings is a team contest consisting of 11 teams of 4 riders, competing in 3 rounds. The teams with the most points after 3 rounds would make the 4 team final…..

My team – Joe Jarvis, Jack Clark, Dylan Lewis and myself..

On day one in the first round (the plaza contest) Joe Jarvis and Jack clark scored only 3 points out of the maximum 11. This meant that in round two (the bowl contest) we would need to place as high as possible.
Jack, Dylan and Joe rode amazing in the bowl contest and the atmosphere was amazing!
We scored 8 points out of 11 in the bowl contest but this didn’t give us enough points to reach the 4 team final.
There was one more round to go, the best trick and I nominated Joe Jarvis to ride as it was held in the street area. Joe would need to come 1st place against the very best street riders in the world to earn us enough points….
(Apologies for the bad filming in this one)

Thanks for watching.” – Sebastian Keep

Leave a Comment

Just when you thought you saw all the X Games coverage, Bas Keep drops a new webisode on the Tall Order Youtube channel giving you a look at what he got into during his time in Austin, Texas where he was set to commentate for a few of the BMX events. This video takes you behind the scenes, giving you a look at some of the production side of things and a bunch of the riders and people he bumped into along the way!

“In this video – I was stoked and really nervous to get invited to X Games Austin to work on commentary and hosting for BMX park and street. I took the camera behind the scenes in the TV rooms and around the Xgames site . I was busy working but when i finally got the camera out I ended up capturing the Xgames vert battle going on between Jamie Bestwick and Vince Byron with reactions from both of them straight after the contest.

This was my first trip to America since starting ‘tall order”, it was a good chance to give some t-shirts out to friends and also chat to lots of people in the industry about starting my company.”
