Ciao Crew – HELLINIKON

March 24, 2020

It’s pretty wild that the Olympics for 2020 have been postponed until 2021. What’s also wild is seeing what old Olympic venues look like after things finish up and the event moves on to the next city. The Ciao Crew decided to take advantage of the abandoned Olympic stadium in Athens, Greece that was built back in 2004 and see what they could find for spots to ride. It’s safe to say the place is loaded with gems to ride and these guys had no issue stacking clips. Hit play and take a look at what the got into!

“With the 2020 Olympic Games officially being postponed to 2021 we present to you HELLINIKON. While BMX Park will be an official part of the next Games being held in Tokyo, Japan Bruno Hoffmann, Kilian Roth and Mo Nussbaumer teamed up with filmer Rich Forne and photographer Merlin Czarnulla to put a different spin on things and decided to reinterpret an existing leftover of the Olympic circus – the olympic canoe track of 2004.
After lying deserted for over 15 years in the birthplace of the Olympic Games the decaying canoe track now offers tons of possibilities to ride and film a BMX video.

Getting the clips they desired turned out to be quite a challenge due to heavy security surveillance of the Olympic venue and resulted in a week long game of cat and mouse with the local security guards patrolling the premisses 24/7.
The riders & media crew made the best out of this tense situation by figuring out a way to still be productive while constantly being on the edge hiding from security. At times it felt more like a real-life hide and seek rather than a regular session with the homies but that made things quite interesting to say the least.

A huge shout out to Red Bull Germany for their support and making this project a reality.

There is an in-depth article about HELLINIKON over on the RedBull website!“- Ciao Crew

Vans Presents “GREY”

February 5, 2020

The Vans team make their way into The Grey.

Here’s their new “GREY” video that features Dennis Enarson, Bruno Hoffmann, Alex Donnachie, Simone Barraco, Dan Lacey, Anthony Perrin, and Lewis Mills getting loose down in Lima, Peru in South America! Obviously this a list of heavy hitters, and we really haven’t seen too many BMX videos out of Peru, so the spots are pretty untapped.

“Welcome to Lima, Peru’s capital city.
Dubbed “The Grey” by the locals because of its misty weather conditions, Lima is a vibrant maze of immaculate street spots.

Happy Days In Mallorca

January 2, 2020

This time of year can be rough with the cold and and snow, so some of Germany’s finest took a trip to Mallorca, Spain to soak up the sun and spots. Freedom BMX dropped this rad edit featuring Felix Prangenberg, Bruno Hoffmann, Kilian Roth and Moritz Nussbaumer putting in work during their stay! This BMX video has a pretty chill vibe to it, but everything from the riding to the spots and film work are on point! Hit play and enjoy!

“Check out Felix Prangenberg, Bruno Hoffmann, Kilian Roth, and Moritz Nußbaumer killing it on Mallorca (Spain) during the first ever Our House trip.

Our House recently gave Felix Prangenberg, Bruno Hoffmann, Kilian Roth and Moritz Nußbaumer a long weekend in Mallorca. Here is our video of her four-day flying visit to the Germans’ favorite island, which is not only something for party tourists, but also has a lot of first-class street spots to offer. It goes without saying that under these circumstances and with this line-up a real board got around. But see for yourself. And if you only understand the train station at Our House, we have a few background information for you:

For more than 50 years, Deutsche Sporthilfe has been supporting federal athletes in Olympic sports, i.e. those athletes who represent Germany at the Olympic Games and other international competitions. However, since there are also many other athletes worthy of funding, the non-profit foundation launched a project a few months ago with Our House, through which the so-called informal sports receive support.

Informal sports are basically just another word for action or extreme sports such as BMX, parkours, wakeboarding etc. By “informal” it is meant that these sports have not yet been organized, or have only begun in clubs and associations. The goal of Deutsche Sporthilfe within the framework of Our House is to also support those athletes in these sports who are among the best in the world in their field, but whose focus is not primarily on medals in world title fights.

For this great project, Our House has brought Felix Prangenberg, Bruno Hoffmann, Kilian Roth and Moritz Nußbaumer on board at BMX, the top of the German BMX street scene. The trip to Malle was intended to get to know each other, further projects are to follow. We are excited to see what the future will bring. In any case, the start is very good!
