There’s no denying that one of the biggest things pushing the growth of BMX is the exposure of it online through web videos. Years ago, it was pretty difficult to produce an edit. Filming on tapes, capturing each clip, editing and then finding a hosting site to upload the video to was always a bitch. Who remembers having to actually download the video to your computer before you could watch it?
Over time, technology has progressed amazing with cameras and computers which has made it a whole lot easier for people to film, edit and distribute their videos for everyone to see. One brand in particular, GoPro has been simplifying things and making it affordable for everyone to get their riding filmed and put out on the internet for everyone to see.
A few months back, GoPro released their latest version of their camera, the Hero 3, which produces some high definition footage at frame rates that can look like it was filmed on a high end camera if done right.
Cody York recently got his hands on one of the new Hero 3’s and decided to put together a quick write up of why he’s stoked on the camera. Check out a few more photos and words along with a few videos that give you a look at the quality!

Sun Ringle – Reed Stark Edit

Leave a Comment

Here it is! Reed Stark’s new Sun Ringle edit we were telling you about yesterday in Reed’s interview! You can check out a behind the scenes look at pretty much all of the photos from the interview in this video along with a TON of other huge bangers. This is an absolute MUST SEE! Check it!

“Reed Stark’s first solo edit for Sun Ringle displays some serious rim abuse around the streets in Reed’s hometowns of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. It can be difficult to convince Reed to ride his bike when he’s busy on campus, but when he does the clips are plentiful. This edit has been a long time coming and we hope you enjoy it, and while you’re at it check out a recent interview of Reed over on BMX Union by CLICKING HERE

Interview by Kurt Hohberger and Cody York

Over the years I’ve watched Reed grow up from a little guy doing turndowns on a bike that’s too big for him to this excessively tall street beast that can absolutely destroy rails and spots. It seems like since he got picked up by BSD two or so years ago already, his riding has progressed an insane amount. The crazy part is that he balances going to college full-time between all of the rail destruction, trips and responsibilities being a pro rider entails these days. With Reed’s new Sun Ringle edit due to drop tomorrow and Cody York sitting on some rad photos, we figured it would be a good time to catch up with Reed to find out what’s new with him. Let’s check out what he had to say in this new Quicky!

Red Bull – Bikes Over Baghdad

Leave a Comment

Cody York put together some photos and words about the recent Bikes Over Baghdad trip. You can read about the trip and check out some photos over on the Red Bull site. I thought this was pretty crazy…

“These shows were probably the best attended we’ve ever had,” said Schauf. “I was told by one of the people in charge of programs on the base that ‘There were more people here for Bikes Over Baghdad than when Kid Rock showed up.” Damn.
