Catfish – Webisode 3: Russia

Leave a Comment

Ever wondered what a Russian BMX contest is REALLY like? Well, let Catfish show you how things went down at the XSA Invitational this past summer… Absolute madness.

“I went to Russia for the first time in October. I was hired to announce the XSA invitational in Sochi. It was hands down one of the craziest events I have ever worked and I can’t wait to go back. This one is more lifestyle as its hard for me to film and announce the comps. Shout out to XSA for bringing me over. Kevin, Pat, Larry, Fudger, ALEX at XSA for making it happen..and all the new friends we made. Hope you guys like this!”

Although it took a few months for this footage to make it’s way into an edited BMX video, Catfish finally got it done and it’s pretty easy to understand why it took so long. In August, Zack spent A LOT of time bouncing around Europe, where he rode with a ton of different people at a ton of different places. Check out this compilation of footage featuring Zack, Drew Bezanson, Reed Stark and a ton of others!

Catfish at SMP

Leave a Comment

It’s still pretty mind blowing how few BMX videos we actually see from SMP Park in China. Either way, whenever footage does surface from the place it’s always pretty good. Here’s some self-filmed clips Catfish stacked during a recent visit to the park. Catfish has a super creative style that brings flatland, street and ramp riding all together making for a good watch. Take a look!

Last weekend the LKXA Extreme Barcelona BMX contest went down over in Spain! There was a massive course that was designed to cater to park riders, street riders and the flatland guys. Our friend and photographer, Ruben Vigil, made his way to the contest and ended up catching some amazing photos of guys like Jason Phelan, Daniel Penafiel, Matthias Dandois, Viki Gomez, Jimmy Van Belle, Nil Soler, Inaki Mazza, Alessandro Barberro, Mati Laisgoty, Jonathan Comacho, Catfish and more!

Catfish & Stuart Gibson – Two Weeks in Holland

It’s a pretty well known fact that Catfish is constantly on the move, bouncing around from country to country for events and everything. He recently spent some time in Holland with Stuart Gibson where they ended up filming a ton of clips for a fresh BMX video to start the week off right. Catfish brings plenty of unique combos with his flatland inspired style and Stuart throws down a few solid lines as well from a few different skateparks they hit up along the way. Looks like it was a product trip to us!

“Zack “Catfish” Yankush came down from Montpellier France to Rotterdam Holland for two weeks to hang out with me after FISE.

Despite me being injured we still managed to ride a large amount of skateparks in the area, a indoor skatepark cross country and visited the WAOJ jam in Amsterdam.

Big thank you to Monster Energy Holland for letting us use the Monster truck during all of this!”
