This gives you a look at a little bit of the riding, plenty of laughs and good times being had a more! We cannot wait to see the final video from this one, it should be amazing with a heavy crew like this bouncing around to spots.

Take a look at some raw clips that were filmed last week at X Games during BMX street and park practice…
Last week was the X Games in Minneapolis, Minnesota and some of the best BMX riders in the world were there to throw down on the street course, bowl, mega ramp, vert ramp and dirt jumps. Unfortunately unless you have special clearance, all you can film is practice. Here’s a mix of raw clips from a little street and skatepark practice. Check out riding from Garrett Reynolds, Chad Kerley, Ty Morrow, Devon Smillie, Broc Raiford, Sean Ricany, Dakota Roche, Simone Barraco, Dan Lacey, Colin Varanyak, Nathan Williams, Dennis Enarson, Gary Young, Larry Edgar, Logan Martin, Kyle Baldock, Kevin Peraza, Daniel Dhers and Pat Casey.
This was all filmed during one or two practices, so there’s definitely some riders we missed out on and there’s definitely some shaky clips. Also, the mic was acting up for some of the street action. Sorry about that!

Colin Varanyak coming through with a fresh GoPro POV video from a day of cruising around San Diego. This is all footage from his chest mount, so you get a good look at what he got into from cruising the city streets to the Golf Courses, gas stations and more. This is a real interest watch from start to finish, so get on that play button and take it all in.
“Decided to just pedal around the city today and shoot a POV video similar to my Philadelphia video I made when I first started posting on the channel. Hope you guys enjoy!” – Colin Varanyak
Here’s one we’re sure a bunch of you have been waiting for! Check out the Animal Bikes new Animal House In Los Angeles video where the crew spent a few weeks exploring the city and crushing spots. Below you can find a super dialed video giving you a look at what went down! You won’t want to miss this. Everything from the riding to the film work is amazing.
“Animal took their tried and true recipe of no-frills street riding to the urban sprawl of Los Angeles. Featuring their west coast contingent along with some east coast heads, the squad includes Augie Simoncini, Colin Varanyak, Andrew Castaneda, Johnny Raekes, Hobie Doan, Abdul Fufanah, Jonathan “Twinn” Jaramillo, Charles Littlejohn, Richard Hernandez, Clay Johnson, and Gabe Brooks. The dudes put a few new twists on some old spots, and unearth some fresh gems as well” – Ride BMX
“We have expanded our team to include an insane crew from the west coast like never before with Andrew Castaneda, Demarcus Paul (who got hurt right before the project), Johnny Raekes, Hobie Doan, Charles Littlejohn, Gabe Brooks and Richard Hernandez. We also have two of our top pros, Augie Simoncini and Colin Varanyak—who originally hail from the east coast—currently calling California home as well. So it only made sense for us to get them altogether and do their thing. We rounded out the squad with a couple of our top east coast riders, Abdul Fufanah and Jonathan “Twinn” Jaramillo, and Clay Johnson from Arizona to add to the mayhem. The riding that went down was wild, insane, technical, dope, crazy, smooth, and above all… motivating to get you to hit the streets right after you watch it. Thank you for your support of Animal and real BMX street riding.” —Ralph Sinisi, Owner of Animal Bikes

It seems like a bunch of pros were able to catch a session inside The Berrics recently. We’re not quite sure why, but based off this video it sounds like there’s a reason.

Hit play to see what Colin, Garrett Reynolds, Johnny Raekes, Augie Simoncini and more threw down during their time inside the place. We’re super curious to see what is to come from this project that Colin hints at a few times in this video.
