Royal Bike Shop – 6 Days in Minneapolis

October 23, 2016

Minneapolis is one of those places that seems to get some what overlooked when it comes to cities to visit for riding since the Twin Cities BMX days faded out. But, with the X Games coming to Minneapolis for 2017 and 2018, it’s bound to get a little more attention. The Royal Bike Shop crew up in Canada decided to get down here before all the spots get tapped out and see what the place had to offer. Here’s a look at what Shawn Franz, Matt Perrin and Colin Thiessen ended up with for clips from 6 productive days exploring the city. Expect to see more from here in the coming year.

We want to hear from you! Let us know what you think in the comments below!

Cult – Colin Thiessen 01

January 15, 2016

In a world of BMX videos filled with pegs and freecoasters, it’s always refreshing seeing a video with a little something different. Cult‘s Canadian connect, Coln Thiessen, might not have pegs, but that doesn’t keep him from grinding and tire sliding everything in his path. This video has a great vibe and dialed riding that’s definitely unique making for a great watch!

Colin Thiessen 2014 Edit

December 4, 2014

Colin Thiessen coming through with a rad new edit for you to check out! Colin has a unique pegless style that’s fast and looks real good! Take a look at some clips he’s stacked as of late out on some of his local street spots. Real good!

“Colin has a great attitude for bmx, the first one to ride a scary setup and the last one to leave the session. Always pedalling full speed with a smile on his face. Never one to get mad when I forget my camera equipment (numerous times) after trekking to spots. Hopefully this edit does Colin’s riding some justice.”

Northern Embassy – Colin ‘N Franz

December 10, 2013

Here’s a little split action from the Northern Embassy featuring Colin Thiessen and Shawn Franz putting a hurting on a ton of their local street spots in Winnipeg! This is 5 minutes of your time well spent!

“Colin Thiessen and Shawn Franz have been riding hard all year round and this is what I was lucky enough to capture of these two Winnipeg shredders! Colin is one steezy street rider and ramp destroyer who rides fast and keeps it simple. Franz has a deep bag of INSANELY technical tricks and lives up to his nick name “SHOWTIME”. Watch out for this guy next summer and give both of these guys a fist pound when you see them.
