DIG Brewery Jam 2016 Highlights

October 14, 2016

Last weekend, the crew over at DIG threw a jam inside of a beer brewery over in the U.K thanks to the help of a couple sponsors. They had a tight course built with a few ledges, rails and a quarterpipe built and let some AM’s and Pro’s go to town on it. This was definitely more about the fun than who could win, I mean Ed Zunda walked away with a big check for $0, haha. Check out the highlights!

“We really wanted that D.I.Y feel to the first DIG jam but at the same time we didn’t want people driving across the country and turning up at a flat rail in a field. We met up with some friends, worked together with WETHPEOPLE and linked up with supporting sponsors Cult, BSD, Animal, Source BMX and etnies and together we dreamed small and drank big. Over a two week period we put together a street course in an incredible tight room and still had room for an exhibition from DIG legend photo guy Ricky Adam. People got loose, the AM riders went in, the PRO’s went heavy and the one and only Darryl Nau lit the place up (although he was looking a little bit ropey on this occasion, it could have been the effects of a heavily discounted presenters rate). We love the North of England and to celebrate we had video screenings of our favorite BMX DVD’s including Attila Hit The Switch, Tomorrow We Work, Voices and NSF. Later that night we held a BMX pub quiz which was one of the most hilarious things to happen, even if a few of the pub locals didn’t have a clue what we were on about.”

Slayer Tom – Frankfurt Style

October 13, 2016

You cannot go wrong with some Tom Schorb-Mergenthaler footage. Here’s some fresh footage of him taking his fast paced, beastly style to the streets of Frankfurt, Germany for your viewing pleasure. It is a little ironic that his nickname is Slayer Tom and this video has rap music, haha. Either way, there is a bunch of crazy clips in this, so check it out!

“Tom ‘Slayer’ Schorb-Mergenthaler is a stalwart of the Frankfurt scene and a loyal Ciao representative – whenever we’re in Frankfurt Tom is always first on hand to go ride and shoot the shit. We’re super excited to premiere his latest exploits, and my my are there some bangers! Our man Fred Murray even snagged the wild ender for the pages of DIG Issue 99.5 – just check it for yourself! You can always rely on Slayer to get loose and send it with his creative style.

Flybikes – “Destination London” featuring Devon Smillie and Larry Edgar

October 7, 2016

A little while back, Flybikes‘ Devon Smillie and Larry Edgar spent some time over in the U.K bouncing around to shops. While they were there they spent a bunch of time exploring spots! As you can imagine, these two had no problem stacking some amazing clips! Check out what went down!

“We had the pleasure of joining Fly Bikes’ Devon Smillie and Larry Edgar a few months back on a week long trip through the UK, hitting up some shops along the way. In between those stops we got some time to ride in the Big Smoke as well as a day in Bristol and those two unleashed their full arsenal. As you’d expect with Devon he did some crazy shit and put his spot usage bar to full while we got to see Larry show us he ain’t just a transition god. Don’t worry though, we took him to Dean Lane park for a NASA launch. Supreme camera work from Tonash and Spooky Black handles the noises. If you’re anything like us you’ll be watching this over and over. Look out for an episode of ‘In The Cut’ next week to find out what’s it’s like to be around the caffeine fuelled mind of Larry Edgar for a week!” – DIG

“Another trip, a new country, foreign surfaces beneath your wheels, that feeling of discovery, it’s the never ending pursuit we crave as BMXer’s. So, when Larry and Devon headed across the pond for a Flybikes retail tour, it was another amazing opportunity to get away and hit new spots, capture what England had to offer and bring it to you. Filmed in multiple cities, it was the final “Destination London”, England’s spot-gem capital that captured the guy’s imagination and was always the final goal.

Fit Bike Co. In Glasgow

October 5, 2016

A few of Fit Bike Co.‘s UK and French connects loaded up in Ben Lewis‘ Cab to explore the streets of Glasgow, Scotland with filmer Peter Adam behind the lens. As expected with a crew consisting of Ben Lewis, Josh Roberts, Olly Rendle and Nico Badet, they had no trouble stacking plenty of amazing clips on the city’s spots, despite a little rain here and there! Hit play to enjoy just what these guys cooked up for you!

Oooft, we’ve got a belter for you today courtesy of our fine partners FIT Bike Co and a select bunch of their European contingent. Ben Lewis had been desperate to spend some more time in DIG’s euro HQ city, Glasgow in Scotland, for some time now after seeing endless flatrails and industrial splattered architectural gems. UK teammates Josh Roberts, Olly Rendle (a temporary Glasgow resident) and French Connexion Nico Badet, jumped in #thefullcab and joined Ben for five days exploring the city and leaving their mark (literally) all over the place. This is that good gear!

Vans – Nicolas Cambon: Nowhere to Ride

September 28, 2016

Now this is not your typical BMX video. In a world of Vlogs and short 15 second clips filmed at a local spot, this takes a serious dump on all of that. DIG just released this new video featuring Vans French connect Nicolas Cambon going to work on a bunch of very unique, hard to reach and amazing spots! Add in some excellent film work and you have a video that took a lot of work and effort, but lead to great results. Enjoy!

“At DIG we’ve always been a fan of the road less travelled, and when that comes to bike riding, adventure is one of the most important elements and pretty much the foundation of what we’ve been built on since day one; well ahead of tricks, trends or popularity contests. A lot of us here grew up in areas that had very little to no BMX scene at all so the art of seeking out and using a spot that most would ride straight past has been and still is, a necessity for survival and motivation. The world is huge and the potentail for new spots is endless, and some of those may be previously unconsidred and just down the road. Get out there and get exploring – you never know what you might discover… even if occasionally you might have to look beyond the norm and put that extra bit of work in.

For NOWHERETORIDE, long time French BMXer Nicolas Cambon and filmer Mayol worked together over a 6 month period trying to find searching to find the most unique spots that they could.” – DIG

Here’s what the man behind the lens had to say about the project from his perspective:

“Nicolas Cambon is a 38 years old BMXer, riding since 1989. Nowheretoride is not a trick video project or skatepark edit – Nowheretoride is first a spot searching BMX adventure to try and ride the most unrideable spots. Nicolas Cambon (Vans / Haro) is not the type of rider to do a double flair or win a FISE contest… he is someone who, in my opinion, rides BMX with more originality than anybody in 2016.” – Mayol
