Profile Racing – 48 Hours with Dillon Leeper

February 18, 2015

Profile Racing‘s Dillon Leeper recently spent two days in the Boulder, Colorado area where he got some time to ride the Evolve skatepark and a pretty rad DIY spot! Take a look at these clips he clocked during his short stay!

“Dillon Leeper went on a two week cross country trip with his job: Goatcado. I was pretty stoked that a small food truck would snatch up their employees and take them on a two week vacation. While on the road, they stopped in Boulder for 48 hours where Dillon met up with Justin Benthien to film this quick edit.” – DIG

Project Loop Skatepark Workshop with Chase Hawk & Joe Rich

February 10, 2015

This is pretty rad. If you have ever wondered how to get something going to convince your city to build a skatepark in your city or town, this is one way to make it happen. Chase Hawk and Joe Rich recently linked up with the Project Loop crew in Texas to get some momentum going behind building a park. Check it out!

“Project LOOP (Lesson’s On and Off the Pavement) is a non-profit comprised of creative professionals that mentor youth. Kids get up close exposure and hands on experience through creative exercises in career fields of interest . You may have caught them over the years helping build and paint ramps for at Fun Fun Fun Fest, Texas Toast Jam and X-Games in Austin. The kids worked hard raising awareness and funding to build a skatepark for the youth of Taylor, Texas. They have partnered with Evergreen Skateparks to design and build the skatepark through a series of workshops. Recently, Evergreen and others amazing people visited the kids in Taylor to kick off the process.>” – < a target="_blank" href="http://www.digbmx.com">DIG

Youth of Today: Stephan August

February 10, 2015

DIG dropped this new one featuring Stephan August tearing up street spots, pools and trails out in California! We’ve seen a few videos (and even featured a few) from Stephan in the past and it’s clear this is one guy you will want to keep an eye out for! If you want to learn more about him, check out his interview on the DIG website that dropped with this!

“Today we have the pleasure of introducing Stephan August, one of Southern California’s most promising young riders. While this isn’t Stephan’s first web video appearance, it is certainly his best footage to date. As you’d expect from a 19 year old living in California, the opportunities to ride are plentiful, and you can expect more from him in the near future by way of a Merritt edit and much more.”

Animal Jam at 5050 Skatepark

February 9, 2015

The guys at Animal Bikes threw at jam at 5050 Skatepark in New York recently. The park was packed full of riders and it looks like plenty of real good riding went down. Check out some highlights in this video, then check out some photos from that day by Chris Marshall over on the DIG site.

“Jams definitely help push BMX, are fun, and a great mix of all styles of riding. Especially rolling with your crew and meeting other riders are worth it alone, on top of the sick sessions that go down. I don’t ride or go to these things usually since there are too many people and I always run into someone and pop out a knee or hip, but besides having to watch out for people they are great. 5050 is a great mix of all kinds of obstacles and a real deal hardcore skatepark atmosphere. It is a great place to have for BMX in the winter in the NYC area plus a place to stay sane while there is snow on the ground. Get out and support it for the rest of the season if you did or didn’t make the jam either way. Thanks to all those who made it out and thanks to 50/50 for throwing it.” – Ralph Sinisi

Common Crew in Arizona

February 2, 2015

Damn this is good! DIG just dropped this video from the trip to Arizona the Common Crew took recently! These guys have been killing it for a while now and it’s clear they aren’t slowing down one big! Check out the video, then take a look at some photos from the trip here.

“California’s Common Crew sardined themselves into three cars for their first ever out of state group trip and made the journey to Arizona for some classic BMX road trip fun, catching some wild clips along the way. Francis Castro describes it perfectly; “From cramming thirteen people into two rooms meant for four, to a barrage of tinder matches, this trip was everything you would expect BMX to bring you; good times, great laughs, and memories worth talking about for a very long time. And, all of this made possible by the magic of minimum wage labor…”

Featuring: Jacob Cable, Abdullah Alkhalili, Eddie Cueller, Jamen Carr, Alec Siemon, Chris Eiland, Ethan Corriere, Julian Arteaga, Evan Corey, and Austin Aughinbaugh.

Once you’re finished watching the video head over to http://digbmx.com/dig-this/common-crew-arizona-photo-story for the full photo story.
