Work In Progress – Bob Manchester From Malaga To Home

July 23, 2015

We were wondering when the next episode of Bob Manchester’s Work In Progress series was going to continue! Here’s the 3rd installment where he finishes up that trip he took to Malaga, then heads back to home to the UK to get his trails back up and running! This starts out with a bunch of amazing riding, and then we get to look at the crazy jumps that Bob cooked up for his jam going down in September! Check it!

“Come explore a wicked new park with Bob Manchester and his mates – well, new to them. Then it’s back to the sunny coast of Spain as he soaks up the last of the sun before heading home from Malaga. Work In Progress Episode 2 saw the crew cruising undeniably one of the best parks in Europe, but today they venture a little further a field to try out another park. Before we know it, it’s back to gloomy England, swinging shovels in the yard… How are the trails coming along? Will everything be ready in time for the jam? You’ll see.

Work In Progress: Bob Manchester at the Skatepark of Malaga

June 8, 2015

For this episode of Mike King’s “Work In Progress” series, he follows Bob Manchester around at his job doing construction before heading off to Malaga, Spain to ride Ruben Alcantara’s skatepark with some of the Villa Road crew! This has a ton of amazing riding from Bob, along with some clips of Matt Priest and Liam Eltham for good measure. After you check out this video, check out more in the Villa Road Trip to Malaga Video which was filmed at the same time as this. This is a MUST SEE BMX video for sure.

“Despite being a ‘pro rider’ Bob Manchester spends 8 hours a day getting his hands dirty with hard graft on building sites. But there’s a reason he does this job – he can walk away every day at 5:30, super amped to ride, no less. He proves it in this video with a weekend jaunt to Málaga where he rides the incredible park designed by Rubén Alcántara. The combination of such a perfect setup and Bob’s formidable skills is nothing short of sublime.” – Epic TV

Work In Progress – Bob Manchester

May 16, 2015

Mike King just sent through the first episode of the Work In Progress series he’s working on with Bob Manchester. This first episode gives us a look at his trails that are getting a little face lift after some neglect and a good session at Adrenaline Alley with Isaac Lesser! Definitely a solid BMX video worth taking a look at!

“Supercars? Face tattoos? Luxury apartments? Champagne? You won’t find them here – this is about the slightly less glorified side of the BMX dream. Ride along with Hoffman, Crucial BMX Shop and Stay Strong’s steezy wildcat Bob Manchester as he prepares his backyard jumps for another big contest in the summer after months of neglect and a harsh winter. Bob analyses the daunting work that is to be done in order to see the place that gave his riding the biggest boost, come back to life for another Jam. But it’s not all swinging shovels, with Corby’s Adrenaline Alley only an hour away, we thought we’d see how he survives without the jumps. This series is proudly supported by Hoffman Bikes, Crucial BMX and Stay Strong Clothing.” – Epic TV

The Woodyard – iPhone 6 Slowmo Test

September 23, 2014

Spotted this gem over on Can You Dig It! If you were on the fence about picking up a new iPhone 6, I’d imagine that this might persuade you a bit! Johnny Elia tested out his new phone’s filming capabilities at 240 frames per second at The Woodyard and got some AMAZING results. Check out what Bob Manchester and Andrew Thompson threw down in this new video!

“Got the new iPhone 6 on Friday, upgraded from the 4s. Really wanted to see how the camera handled the 240fps slowmo feature. Pretty impressed to say the least! To able to film this all on an phone is pretty insane. The footage is compressed quite a lot and you need to film in very bright situations but saying that, not bad for a phone!
