Storm Troopers Ride BMX?

December 14, 2015

Today has been a good one for the Star Wars fans out there. We just posted a video of Darth Vader Riding a BMX bike and Skateboard, and now we spotted a photogallery of a Storm Trooper getting a look at some dialed BMX products at the Empire BMX shop over on the X-Games website. Turns out Storm Troopers like to get down on BMX bikes, too… Maybe Darth Vader made it a mandatory thing? It’s hard to say, but we can tell you that they look pretty rad on a bike!

Brian Tunney – Insta Smith

October 5, 2015

It’s always a good day when Brian Tunney drops a new BMX video giving us a look at what he’s been working on. We just spotted this quick one over on Flat Matters giving us a look at a bunch of combos Brian has been doing to incorporate the brakeless Smith Decade into. Take a peek and see for yourself how it’s done!

“Growing up, one of my all-time favorite tricks was a smith decade. About ten years ago, I took my back brakes off because maintaining them was a pain in the butt and I wanted a more simplistic approach to my bike setup. But I lost that one trick. This past summer, after a few dreams of doing that trick, I learned the brakeless version but wanted to incorporate more of the past and present into my riding, so I marched to Empire BMX and reinstalled a gyro, back brakes and all of the ridiculous detachable cable guides that come with my bike. The result has been a very good re-connection of me with my 15-year-old self. These are but a few of the things I’ve filmed with back brakes, ’80s inspiration and abundant, humid sunshine in the past few months. More is on the way soon, thanks for watching.”

Brian Tunney – January 2015

February 19, 2015

Just spotted this short but sweet gem of Brian Tunney over on Flat Matters! It’s always good seeing something new from Brian who continues to crush it after all these years. I know he’s a busy guy, so anything we can get out of him is more than awesome!

“This is one trick I did in Newport Beach, California at a flatland jam. The rider cruising the bar ride and bailing halfway through the frame is former Mongoose/Vans pro Rick Allison, whom I once had photos of on my wall as a teenager. And the video was shot by Robin Fenlon, whom I miss on a daily basis since leaving the South Bay. I was originally going to save this for a bigger project, but I’ll just show it now and reuse it later since I don’t care about that kinda thing.” – Brian Tunney

Brian Tunney – SMP Clip

October 10, 2013

It honestly blows my mind how few videos we see pop up from that massive SMP park over in Shanghai. Last year, Brian Tunney spent a few days over there and ended up at the park where he filmed this quick clip. It has been sitting on his computer for a while and he finally decided to upload it for us to check out. Always stoked on some Tunney footage!

Props – Road Fools 1 Is Being Remasted for RF Box Set

February 23, 2013

Road Fools BMX

Oh hell yeah. Props announced that they will be re-mastered Road Fools 1 as part of a full box set from all the Road Fools and Rock and Roll tours. Anyone who has been in BMX for 10+ years is probably drooling since this is going to be amazing. So stoked about this. Check out the official word from them below.

“Check out this nice little article by ESPN’s Brian Tunney about the Road Fools 1 re-mastering that’s going on! If you didn’t hear, we’re finally going to be releasing a complete Road Fools box set on Blu-ray with all the videos, RF 1-18 and the 2 Rock and Roll Tours.

Since the only master of the original Road Fools 1 is on analog S-VHS, the video is undergoing a complete re-edit and re-mastering from the source DV footage tapes to produce a native DV master for the box set.

We’re also putting together a Road Fools book, which will be available as a traditional coffee table print book and also as an interactive digital iBook version that will be available for download on iPads. All coming this year!”
