Mutiny Bikes – Randy Taylor Forever
Mutiny Bikes have released this amazing tribute video to Randy Taylor who we lost to suicide a few years back. Randy was one of a kind… An amazing rider and an amazing person that you couldn’t help but love. It still seems unreal that he’s not with us anymore. To go along with this video, Mutiny have re-released Randy’s signature Loosefer frame with full proceeds going to a Suicide Awareness Charity. We have posted up photos and full specs that you can check out after the jump. Randy Taylor Forever.
“Randy Taylor. Randy was a goodhearted, charismatic, creative, incredible person. One of the most fun dudes to be around ever, and one of the most gifted bike riders I’ve ever met.
Randy was a natural, there’s no question about it. No one could accuse him of taking anything too seriously, yet he excelled at everything he did – most notably riding bikes, making friends, and entertaining those around him. Everybody loved Randy. Everybody. Between his unstoppable energy, his carefree goofiness, and his unmatched talent for finding trouble, there was truly never a dull moment.
Randy always did his own thing, be it in life or on his bike. The phrase “ahead of his time” gets thrown around a lot, but I can’t think of a more shining example than Randy. Now having the benefit of years of perspective on his riding, it’s easy to see how talented and forward-thinking he really was. Even his seven-year-old frame geometry is easlily up to modern standards.
Randy may no longer be with us, but we are fortunate enough to have a fantastic video archive of his riding and of his personality. He will forever live on in the collective hearts and minds of his friends, his family, and anyone who enjoys his riding or had the good fortune of interacting with him.
The Loosefer Reissue is now available, and we’ll be donating all profits from sales to a suicide awareness charity.
Rest in peace Randy. We miss you bud.” –Walter Pieringer
Mike “Hucker” Clark Profile
We’re not quite sure where Can You Dig It found this video, but we’re stoked they did! Check out this bio video giving us a little insight into Mike “Hucker” Clark’s life along with some amazing riding footage from the past year or two. This gives us a look at more than just his love for riding, like his love for snakes and reptiles. Not sure if this is for X-Games this year or not, but either way it’s online and it’s awesome.
The Way Back Tour – Ryan Guettler and the Nimbin Snake Run
The 2nd episode of Ryan Guettler’s “Way Back Tour” takes us to a few different parks, including the Nimbin Snake Run, along with some cliff diving and good times off the bike! This has a ton of damn good riding in it, so take a peek!
“Australia’s outdoor parks are some of the coolest in the world and in episode 2 of On The Way Back Tour Ryan Guettler is continuing his tour of the very best ones on the east coast. As he heads north with the crew they bump into killer crabs, beachside bowls and the iconic Big Banana. The action peaks in the town of Nimbin and their legendary snake run before Ryan and co finishing off in Ballina where the Prawns are huge and the skatepark sessions always end by bridge jumping into the ocean. Does it get any better than this?”
Work In Progress – 70 Hour Work Week with Ollie Shields
It’s always pretty interesting to find out what some of your favorite riders are up to when they aren’t riding. We had no idea that Ollie Shields spends most of his days working construction. We also had no idea that he only really gets a good session in about once a week! Check out this video giving us a little insight into what he does for work followed up by some damn good riding from that one session Ollie does get in with a few of the locals every week. Highly suggest you check this BMX video out! This is what dedication and love looks like. Hell yeah, Ollie!
“Think your job is hard? Try being a pro bmxer. Far from the video parts and the glory-filled competitions a lot of pro riders make incredible sacrifices in order to do what they love. Take Ollie Shields – despite having a huge 2014 he still works as a builder doing 70 hour weeks. This demanding schedule leaves him one day a week to ride. Luckily he knows how to make the most of it with a big weekly session at Revolution Bike Park. Check out Ollie’s incredible dedication to the life and the sport that he loves and ask yourself this: Are you this committed to anything you do? This series is proudly supported by Seventies Distribution, Cult Bikes and Vans.”

Soul BMX Mag sent through their latest BMX video featuring Bastien Robert putting in work on street spots, parks and DIY spots over in France! This has a good mix of tricks and style making for a video well worth checking out. Hit play and take it all in.
“After the “revealing” interview in the latest Soul # 86, here’s the video of Bastien Robert filmed by another Albigensian Simon Cassol in a simple and crude style that matches the young Bastien. Its versatile riding and style will not leave you cold I think, as much as many different spots we see in a nice little video SOUL share without moderation”
