Red Bull – Ramparanoia 2012

December 26, 2012

“16 dudes… One Oxygen mask… Somebody is passing out.”… All right, I’m not even sure how to explain this one. Red Bull dragged guys like Ben Hennon, Gary Young, Aaron Ross, Daniel Dhers and Ruben Alcantara out into the desert of Argentina to ride one of the wildest naturally made spots in the world. They had each rider being the judge of the contest and based on this video, they were able to get some riding time in without dying. Check this out.

“Ben Hennon won Red Bull Ramparanoia, the BMX competition held in the Campo de Piedra Pomez (Pumice field), located in Catamarca, Argentina, 4000 meters above sea level. The riders were forced to adapt to the demanding elevation and heat, trying to ride a bike on a surface that had never been explored by a BMX athlete before.” – Red Bull

This past summer, Seventies loaded up Matt Roe, Vince Mayne, Shaun Hadlington, James Cunningham, Phil Demattia, Ben Hennon and Joss Fenn and hit the road to visit a bunch of shops around the U.K. While they did that, they made plenty of stops to get out and ride. This is the video from the trip that you are not going to want to miss. Looks like it was a damn good time.

FISE Experience – Paris

November 14, 2012

Mike King coming through with a dialed new edit from the FISE Experience mini ramp contest in Paris, France the other week. Check it!

“Immediately after the Skylines contest, The Paris Week Of Games, an enormous gaming exhibition was host to the final stop in the FISE Experience tour.
A bizarre scene for a contest, but nonetheless Daniel Dhers, Dennis Enarson, Ben Hennon, Daniel Wedemeijer, Jack Clark and Rob Darden fought their exhaustion from the Red Bull contest a few days prior and smashed the contest in front of thousands of eagle eyed gaming geeks, joined by Declan Brooks, Ryan Cunliffe and Logan Martin, who flew over from Australia and took 1st.

Chain Reaction – Team Trip to Ireland

October 26, 2012

Oh hell yeah! This is what I call a MUST SEE for sure. Check out Dan Lacey, Scott Ditchburn and Ben Hennon getting down in Ireland for Chain Reaction! So good.

“Chain Reaction BMX Team edit time. Dan, Scott and Ben took a trip over to Ireland and hooked up with local bike legend and designated tour guide Peter Adam.

They travelled across Ireland for a week-long trip blasting the concrete parks and sessioning the streets of Limerick, Dublin, Galway and Belfast. Joined along the way by some of the local riders and the normal skatepark groms they unleashed their no-nonsense brand of riding with loads of grind and nose wheelie variations.

Holy hell it looks like Kevin Kalkoff knows how to throw a party to me! Check out this video from the jam that him and Vans threw the other weekend! Huge turn out and tons of wild riding. Wish I was there!

“2 weeks ago, Vans Bmx pro rider Emea Kevin KALKOFF decided to organise his first invitational event on his own riding spot in his famous city Annecy, welcome By The Lake, bowl and street invitational contest. Before the contest all the riders invited decided to visit the famous lac of annecy with some boat and water games, pretty good before to start a long day contest between bowl, street and best tricks. At this time the weather in france is perfect, the area is clean and re painted by Arnaud (famous french artist working for Shadow Consipiracy) and the staff organisation is ready to start his first adventure. Ben Hennon wasn’t in Annecy for only swimming, he won the bowl contest with crazy bangers first try, Bruno Hoffmann who always like street contest won this one pretty easy. Monster offered drinks, barbecq and good vibes too. For sure that was an awesome weekend and for a forst edition we must reconise Kevin Kalkoff organise event like he ride, perfectly.
