Rolan Popa sent through this new iPhone edit of him and Gergo Bene getting some riding time in at their local skatepark. It might not be much of a park, but they didn’t have any troubles coming up with a few clips worth checking out!

BMX The Game: Update #2
It looks like BMX The Game is making some more forward progress. Above is a new update giving you a look at their editor system that allows you to create your own spot to ride, piece by piece and even edit a character to look just like you. They’re hoping you guys will help support the project by donating to their Kickstarter Page to help raise the funds to launch the initial version of the game. Based on this, it’s really showing a lot of potential, so get stoked!
The Mess Out West
A few months back, The Boardroom’s Wolfy, Graham Glennon, Derek Johnson and Eoin Shiel loaded up for a trip to Ireland to check out some spots and get a good vacation in before the shitty weather hit. This is the video from the trip that they were able to film during their time on the road. It looks like it was a hell of a good time! Take a peek!
“So, after almost long enough for it to drift in to myth and legend, here is the Boardroom family holiday, 2012 – “The Mess Out West” or “Two old men, a cripple and Wolfy.”
Just before the winter set in, 4 of us hopped into the van and headed off towards the west to see what we could find in Galway, Mayo and anywhere else along the way. The only plans aside from that were three days of driving, riding the bikes, camping anywhere we could find and surviving on veggie burgers/sausages and beer from the cooler in the back. Between Wolfy, Graham Glennon, Derek Johnson and myself (Eoin Shiel) we figured we’d have a good trip no matter what happened.
We had unexpected sunshine at times, were rained on, we slept on a beach, rode everywhere we could find and on our last night slept in a roadside shed to avoid a heavy storm… only to be woken up by a rather frightened old man at 4 in the morning…
Despite Wolfy nearly getting us run out of a small Mayo town for ordering anything other than Guinness in the local, it was one of the best Irish trips we’ve ever been on. Good times on the road with old friends cannot be beaten.
Anyway, to the lads – sorry this took so long to put out, but the days of computer meltdown’s are (hopefully!) a thing of the past!
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks to:
The Boardroom
The Barstool Crew for coming out for a session or two
Nurofen plus. I’d have been left shivering in the van, clutching my foot without you.
Filmed on – Canon 7d (I know, no 3ccd… and I’ll be buying a steadycam!)
Edited on – A working computer
Music – Bruce “The Promised Land””
Rail Session at Primo with Ben Lewis and Shawn McIntosh
Ride BMX‘s Jeff Z made a trip over to the Primo warehouse for a session with Fit Bike Co.‘s Ben Lewis and Shawn McIntosh. Turns out Jeff’s photo skills transferred because he is pretty damn good with a video camera too! Check out both of these guys laying down some dialed moves on the flat rail setup!
“ tagged along with Shawn McIntosh and Ben Lewis to Primo recently to meet up with Aaron Brenner and session the flat rail for a bit. The session got heated pretty quickly, so I put down my bike and started filming.

Colton Walker 2013 Kitchen Edit
Anyone who has had the chance to ride with Haro‘s Colton Walker knows that he’s insanely dialed and has a huge bag of tricks that you just don’t see with many 15 year olds. Over spring break, he took a trip down to Indiana to get some time in at The Kitchen where he filmed this new edit. Definitely one video to check out and and one rider to keep an eye out for in the future.
Primary Threads – Film, BMX, Skate & Enjoy
Here’s a rad new video that Primary Threads dropped featuring Daniel Johnson and Cooper Brownlee giving you a look at the art of filming on a board. Definitely take a look at this since it’s a rad concept you really don’t see the “behind the scenes” of all too often. Plus, Primary Threads has a filming board that they sell… I bet you didn’t know that.
“Pretty much every rider out there has a board to use when filming lines or peeps who can not only shred on a bike but also likes to skate. Together with Focalpoint we have made this edit on how a filming board can be used for filming BMX. There are many techniques you can apply to filming on a board this is just a little insight to help you get started. Best advice we can give you is to make sure you clear your line of any small rocks or anything else that can send you flying mid filming, you can see at 1.01 in this video Cooper actually hit a small rock that he missed on the clean up but luckily he had big enough wheels to keep rolling.
Filmed & Edited by Cooper Brownlee featuring Daniel Johnson riding. Thanks lads!

Crux Division Team Mix
Jacob Hope put together this rad new mix featuring pretty much the entire Crux Division team. Check out riding from each of these guys getting down on their local spots all around the U.S. I’m really stoked on this style of video lately since it gives the video a super diverse feel. Definitely worth a watch!
