Custom Riders – BMX Crash Compilation 2016

March 10, 2016

It’s inevitable… It doesn’t matter how good you are at riding BMX. If you’re doing anything on your bike, eventually you’re going to crash. That’s just part of the game. Custom Riders just released this compilation of crash footage they have collected through a number of projects they have worked on. This is one of those videos that it almost hurts to watch, but you just… can’t… stop… watching. Hit play!

“So we obviously make a lot of video, this means we capture a fair few nasty crashes. We thought it was time that you lovely people got to see all of these wonderful crashes we’ve had tucked away on hard drives.”

Custom Riders – BMX Urbex

January 29, 2016

When it comes to finding unique and original spots to film at, the Custom Riders crew over in the U.K have always gone above and beyond to find some interesting spots that are definitely untapped. Above is a little highlight reel of some of those spots they have come across during those missions to find something unique to ride. It’s a really good reminder that there’s really nothing you can’t find a way to ride a BMX bike on.

“Urban exploration (often shortened as urbex or UE) is the exploration of man-made structures, usually abandoned ruins or not usually seen components of the man-made environment.

One of best parts of BMX is getting out there and exploring, there’s nothing better than finding that crazy spot. Even better is when you find a place that wasn’t meant to be ridden but looks almost as if it was designed to be ridden. Get out there and see what you can find.

Harry Main OFF Custom Riders

January 4, 2016

Over the course of the past few days, Harry Main has been announcing his sponsor changes for 2016… So far he’s announced that he is no longer rider for Hyper and Snafu, then he announced that he is no longer rider for Coyote Sports (Which we saw coming since they distribute Hyper and Snafu in the U.K). Then today, Harry announced that he has also stopped riding for Custom Riders. So, that leaves Monster Energy, Skullcandy, Vans(? We heard that he stopped riding for Vans as well, but he’s still listed on their website?) and The Wandering (his clothing brand).

So, will he shed a few more sponsors or is this the last one before he starts announcing his new sponsor(s) that he hinted at the day he announced that he quit Hyper?

Custom Riders – The Worlds First Scooter BMX

December 23, 2015

It was only a matter of time before somebody realized that they could connect a scooter to a BMX fork since they both use 1 1/8″steerer tubes. Unfortunately, Custom Riders put one of these frankenstein contraptions together and decided to cruise around on it for a day. Is it weird all we keep thinking is “so that’s what they mean by birth defects by inbreeding” when we see that? Either way, somebody needs to kill this thing before it catches on like chainless riding did back in the day, haha.

Custom Riders – Angus Gough // Nomadic

November 26, 2015

Angus Gough is always on the move and this new Custom Riders BMX video is clear proof of that. Watch as he slays street spots and skateparks all over the U.K and more!

“We’ve been shooting with Angus on and off for around a year now, between trips, events and contests. The best part of BMX is travel, so we thought why not focus on it?”

Filmed and edited by Luke Rance

Custom Riders – Harry Main – Behind The Photo: Calling the Shots

September 30, 2015

Now here’s an interesting combo… Custom Riders had Harry Main do a round of Calling the Shots, but they doubled up and had a photographer to capture the action as well. Get a look at both perspectives in this video! You already know this is too good to pass up.

“Our top recruit Harry hooked up with Dean Smith and you lovely people to shoot some amazing photos. Here’s the result”

Custom Riders – In the Mix: Kris Bunnage

August 23, 2015

The filming in this one might be a little rough around the edges, but Kris Bunnage makes up for it with plenty of real solid riding in this BMX video from Custom Riders. Get a look at this!

“We ran with the name ‘In The Mix’ as you’re not always going to have your designated filmer around when you really want to send it. So you get your homie to grab whatever camera is near and send it. Secondly, we really feel like Kris has some front end stuff that people really aren’t doing. So here it is, drop us a comment & share!”
