BSD – Best of Transmission

BSD takes a look back at their best footage from their “Transmission” DVD…

Like they always say, time flies when you’re having fun. The “Transmission” DVD was released two years ago already. BSD decided to go through and pull out the best footage and pack it into this dialed edit for your viewing pleasure. If you want a reminder of how good the “Transmission” video is, this is a good reminder. After you watch this, go re-watch the full video right here — “Full “Transmission” video!

“Having missioned around the globe for two years stacking ridiculous riding clips with the BSD team on over 10 trips it’s nearly impossible to choose the best of them, but here we go. This edit marks the 2 year anniversary of Transmission’s world wide premiere in Glasgow with a selection of just some of the highlights from Dan Paley, David Grant, Sam Jones, Mike Jersey Taylor, Matt Allpress, Jason Teet, Luc Legrand, Liam Zingbergs, Kriss Kyle, Reed Stark and Alex Donnachie’s sections from the 2016 BSD Transmission DVD.

Unit 23 Skatepark – Jingle Buels Jam 2017

Leave a Comment

Check out what went down at the Jingle Buels Jam at Unit 23 Skatepark in Glasgow!

Whenever Unit 23 Skatepark throws a jam, you know it’s going to be a wild one! Here’s some highlights from the Jingle Buels Jam that went down the other weekend. As expected, it was a packed house and a ton of great riding went down from locals to the Pros like Kriss Kyle. Hit play and take it all in!

“It’s been a while since we’ve seen a jam at our local Unit 23 skatepark in Glasgow, Scotland but Chaz Mailey and the crew there thought it was about time to get everyone together again. The invites were sent, Bucky put on ice and the big bowl in Hall 1 was the venue. Sit back and enjoy a whole load of roasting from the likes of Kriss Kyle, Chaz and Connor Mailey, young Kieran Reilly and more.

“Having not put on a BMX event at Unit23 for a minute or two, we decided to have a bowl jam to end the year. What started as a little ‘friends only’ bowl session, soon turned into a bit of a jam, with speakers, flyers, prizes and Bucky. It’s cool to see the BMX world come together and make things like this happen, even north of the north. We’d like to thank our sponsors for helping us put this little jam together, BSD, Source, DIG, Endless & Seventies. A special thanks goes out to Jimmy’s Iced Coffee for being so down to help out, and a massive thanks to everyone that showed up and made it such a rad time! Here’s to next year! Here we go.” – Chaz Mailey / Unit 23

BSD “Transmission” DVD Teaser

Leave a Comment

In this day and age, it’s pretty amazing that a team can keep word that they’re working on a full-length video under the radar for two whole years. The crew over at BSD have just released the first teaser for their new “Transmission” DVD that will be dropping in July. This teaser doesn’t give anything away as far as riding goes, but with a line up like the BSD squad has and knowing that Dave Sowerby is behind the filming and editing, you can count on this BMX video to kick a ton of ass. Get ready!

“Transmission – BSD’s first full length team video will be released worldwide on DVD in July 2016. Filmed across three continents and in over eight different countries, the DVD has taken over two years to make. It will feature full sections from pro team riders David Grant, Dan Paley, Luc Legrand, Kriss Kyle, Mike ‘Jersey’ Taylor, Sam Jones, Alex Donnachie, Reed Stark and Liam Zingbergs and is filmed and edited by Dave Sowerby.

Grant Smith, Owner of BSD, commented: “This is the longest, biggest and most exciting filming project BSD has ever taken on and it’s a relief to be able to finally announce the news. It took a massive team effort from everyone involved in the BSD crew and we hope that people are as excited by the finished product as we are.”

The world premiere of Transmission will be held in Glasgow on Saturday 9th July, more details on that to follow over the next few days.

Over and out…”
