Here’s a rad one I spotted on Flat Matters of Joe Cicman, Danny Sirkin and a few others putting some time in on a couple of the Sunday 24″ Cruisers they modified to be a little more flatland friendly. Anyone who knows how hard flatland is, can only imagine how hard it must have been to put these moves down on a longer bike like this. Awesome.

Vinyl BMX – Brad Gibbs – “LP” Section and Paine’s Plaza
Here’s a double whammy from Vinyl BMX today! First we have Brad Gibbs’ section from the “LP” DVD that’s absolutely dialed and a section that really caught me off guard with just how good this dude is. After that we have a fresh video of Brad putting in some time at the Paine’s Plaza… Where you better believe he came through with some awesome riding again! Check them out!
“Brad hails from Pittsburgh, PA born and raised. 3/4 of his section is filmed in Pittsburgh as well. Brad is the only one in the “LP” DVD that does not ride trails in his video part. But he makes up for it by sliding rails the size of big jumps.”

I Got 5 On It – Dan Nielsen
Always pumped when a video of Dan Nielsen pops up! Mario Carassco is firing up a new series called “I Got 5 On It” and he’s kicking it off with five clips of Dan at the Roxborough Village park. As expected, plenty of goodness came from it. Take a peek!
“The is the first video of this new series called “I Got $5 On It” Featuring Dan Nielsen. Dan is a new resident of Denver from Nebraska and to say that Dan kills it on a bike is an understatement. Dan is just treat to watch ride and laughing the whole time he kills it.” – Mario Carrasco
KHE – Francis Lalande 2013 Edit
Here’s a fresh one from KHE‘s connect through Lama Cycles, Francis Lalande, who lays down some creative and unique lines and tricks on some street spots and his local park. This one is short and sweet!
Pawel Wichowski Summer Edit
Here’s a fresh one that Dart BMX dropped featuring a ton of street goodness from Pawel Wichowski! Dialed spots, creative riding and clean filming and editing. Can’t go wrong!
“We’d like to present you the summer edit with Paweł Wichowski. Filming process took some time, but it was totally worth it. You’re about to see a lot of technical top notch actions. Wichu has his unique riding style that differs him from most of the riders out there. Sit back and enjoy!
Below you can read few words from Pawel about his latest clip:
“Great thanks to Panaś, Fred and Emil for spending their whole summer time in Warsaw’s traffic jams. Filming after my work while rush hours was hard and costly.”

Austin Miller – Summer Favorites
[video_widget]
One of the best parts about waking up every day is checking out all of the different submissions for the Daily Section that we get from all over the world. Because of it, I’ve ended up talking to people I’ve never met from countries I’ve never been to more than people I grew up with that I still see pretty frequently. Austin Miller might not be from another country, but there’s no denying that he’s always actively sending through new videos he put together for us to check out. We were talking a little while back and decided it would be rad to feature one of his videos, so he went out and stacked a few clips over the last few months he was stoked on. The footage might be a little rough and it’s not the craziest riding to ever grace the internet, but it’s rad because Austin went out of his way to put in work for this video for us all to check out. So hit that play button and take a peek! Shout out to Austin and everyone that chipped into film a clip or two for him.
