February 16, 2023

BMX lost a great one. Rest in Peace, Craig Stevens.

It’s always hard hearing news of a rider passing. This morning the news that BMX legend Craig Stevens had passed away in New Zealand after a landslide overtook him while working a rescue mission during as flood as a firefighter, along with one of his partners. You can check out the full story on this New Zealand news website. As many of you know, Craig was one of those riders that was absolutely crushing it over in the U.K and in New Zealand, especially in the early 2000’s / 2010’s. Craig had been working as a volunteer firefighter, along with raising a family lately, but that didn’t keep him from riding and more. There was a video released last year where Craig told his story that we have re-embedded below. Rest in Peace, Craig! BMX lost a great one.

Compass – A BMX Retrospective with Craig Stevens

September 20, 2022

This is awesome. Check out this retrospective where Craig Stevens tells his story from growing up to how he got into BMX, on through up to where he is today. This is packed with so much great old footage, stories and more. Get on that play button because this is real good watch!

“A lot of long-time UK viewers will recognise the name Craig Stevens as a stalwart of the UK scene during the epic and influential early 2000’s era. Beyond that however people might not know too much about him.

Earlier this year Craig got together with Ryan Sherman (a long time Soletech filmmalker and colleague of the legendary MIke Manzoori), to put together this amazing biopic about his growing up in South Africa before moving to Bristol UK, and finally ending up in New Zealand.

It’s an intimate look at the life of a dedicated BMXer and and it will strike a chord with older riders everywhere. This truly is a love letter to BMX.

Compass was premiered as an official selection at the 2022 Bicycle Film Festival.
