Mikey Creek coming through with a solid edit from an afternoon that he spent cruising around the Reservoir skatepark down in Australia! This video is filled with lines where he mixes jibs and grinds in on ledges, banks and a few other little spots at the park. If you like style, this has plenty of that, too!

Eclat – Venom Peg Promo Featuring Bruno Hoffmann
Eclat released this quick promo video featuring Bruno Hoffmann and their Venom pegs for you to get a look at! This is short and sweet with a good look at the pegs. Take a look and see if you’re into it!
“The team love these things. The Venom peg uses a two-piece steel/plastic design based on the ‘classic sleeve’ system. Our aim was to create a plastic sleeve peg with a diameter similar to a standard steel peg. This lead us down the route of a steel/plastic design with a slim crmo inner peg wrapped in a generous thickness of our specially developed hardwearing nylon compound. When testing the prototypes we saw these pegs going beyond 6 months of hard riding! In a nutshell, if you want to grind fast give these a go.”
Federal – Split Series: Anthony Perrin & Michal Smelko
Federal Bikes have just released the first installment of their new “Split Series” videos which will feature two of their team riders putting in heavy work for a video. Today we get a look at the split section from Anthony Perrin and Michal Smelko crushing spots in Israel. It would also appear that Rich Forne was behind the lens for this one, which should be a clear indicator that the filming and editing is amazing as well. Not sure if Rich is the filmer for this whole series or not, but we would be stoked if he was. Either way, hit play already and take this all in! Absolute banger.

BF-IT: Dreamline Crash Commentary
Ah, man… This one is a hell of a memory for me personally. During the first Dreamline contest, Brian Foster took a slam that left him with a torn ACL. The reason this is such a memory is because I was shooting photos at this contest and remember walking up to Brian after he fell to check if he was okay, and he calmly said “I tore my ACL” and I almost thought he was kidding because I imagined seeing this excruciating melt down filled with screaming and everything when that happens. Talk about a badass in that shitty situation. Sure enough though, Brian did have a torn ACL and ended up getting surgery after that contest. DIG dropped this funny slow-motion commentary from the crash where Brian talks us through his thoughts as he was going down. Take a look!
“As promised we’ve got the BF-it documentary extras to release online today as part of our #DIGBFWEEK, and first up is Brian’s horrible crash from Red Bull Dreamline back in 2011 (which resulted in knee surgery) but with a special BF commentary over the top explaining how things went in his mind, as only he could! Look out for a Cutting Room Floor video with some hilarious outtakes coming on digbmx.com soon.” – DIG
Building Gnarnia – “Thriving In Decay”
Pat Fisher sent through his BMX and skateboarding documentary called “Thriving In Decay” that is a 20 minute video where he talks about the history of BMX and skateboarding which is actually pretty interesting. Some of you newer guys could probably learn quite a few things from this video. The riding and everything isn’t really all too serious, but still, it’s a rad video to check out.
“Interweaving movement and narrative, “Thriving in Decay” examines the relationship between large-scale cycles of decay and the historical development of BMX and skateboarding. Having a solid understanding of how BMX and skateboarding have been influenced in the past is crucial for their development in the future, since popular over-simplifications can easily lead participants astray from addressing those factors which matter most…

Cult – Diego “Mono” Navarro
Cult just released this brand new Diego “Mono” Navarro video that gives us a look at some of his amazing riding from the trails to the streets. This one starts out giving us a good idea just where he gets all of his style at, at the trails, then he proceeds to make his way to the streets where he puts some technical grinds, big gaps and his buttery smooth style to work. The filming on this one is pretty interesting because it looks like they filmed with an HD camera and a Hi8 camera making for some unique looking shots and drastic differences in quality. Either way, this is one hell of a BMX video that you won’t want to miss out on!
