Colombians In France

July 2, 2020

Remember when traveling was a thing? The trips have slowed down for most of us, but fortunately we’re still seeing a steady low of footage to keep the stoke up. Here’s a video from a trip Santiago Laverde and a few others from Colombia took to France to cruise street spots and parks before the shutdowns started up. Based on the footage, it looks like this was a real good time. We’re sure they are stoked they got this trip in before things got weird!

“Our DIG Locals series is usually reserved for unsponsored riders, but Colombia’s Santiago Laverde sent through this one from pre-covid time and a trip to France that himself and a bunch of friends from back home took. Nothing but good vibes.

Winter Procedure

June 30, 2020

It’s weird thinking about winter with it being so damn hot out lately, but there’s still footage surfacing from the colder months. Here’s a new mix featuring Dan Banks, Thomas Roulston and Guy Scroggie going to work on street spots over in Glasgow, Scotland! Despite the cooler temps and wet weather, it looks like these guys had no trouble stacking clips or this one. Hit play and check out what they whipped up!

“Not even the Scottish winter can keep the Procedure dudes indoors. Luc Lynch-Rice spent the colder months following the likes of Dan Banks, Thomas Roulston and Guy Scroggie, documenting his friends and the city with his Super 8 cam in hand, and usually under the cover of darkness. Just under 6 minutes of northern grit.” – DIG

Day In The Life of Martti Lainevool

June 25, 2020

It’s always interesting to see how riders spend their day. Here’s a new Day In The Life video following Martti Lainevool as he cruises street spots and skateparks, get some errands done and more. As always, Martti delivers with real solid riding. It looks like it was a good day to us!

“20 year old Martii Lainevool is one of the Estonian BMX scene’s finest exports and if you’ve ever been to Simple Session you’ll know how much his fellow Estonians loves to watch him ride. Chris Patrick Tilk decided to spend some time with Martii and put together this great look at his daily life, outlook and future hopes and dreams. ” – DIG

Weird & Revered – Tyler Horness “Vagabond Squad” Section

June 24, 2020

The sections from the Weird & Revered “Vagabond Squad” DVD continue to flow! Here’s a look at Tyler Horness‘ section loaded with park and street goodness. Tyler brings a good mix of tricks to the spots, keeping things interesting from start to finish!

““Vagabond Squad” is a full-length video from Canada’s Weird & Revered crew. Filmed from 2016 to 2019, the project is community rooted with a strong focus on the Edmonton BMX scene. Although a majority of the clips are from the crew’s home city, the footage spans 9 countries, 8 American states, and 4 Canadian provinces and territories.” – DIG

“Tyler has incredible bike control, a well-developed style, and is constantly learning new and difficult tricks. I’m not really into the idea of saying that someone is ‘the best,’ especially in BMX when everything is so variable and so subjective. However, I think many of the Edmonton locals would agree with me that Tyler Horness is probably the best rider in our city. This video part is just a small taste of Tyler’s skills on a bike.” – Justin Schwanke

Florent Soulas – Lockdown Edition

June 18, 2020

We’re always pumped when we see Florent Soulas‘ name pop up! Here’s a little look at what he’s been getting into during the lockdown! As always, Florent gets creative and brings plenty of style. Hit play and take it all in.

“FIT’s french front-end bike godfather Florent Soulas did lockdown his own way… like riding a huge pile of gravel like a dirt jump. This guy has creativity flowing from him. Here’s a quick-fire dose from himself and friend/filmer Leo Mongendre. Look out for something a little more serious from these two soon.” – DIG

“As you might have seen in the news, France recently lifted its lockdown measures that forbid anyone from leaving the house longer than an hour a day and further than a kilometer. Bicycle riding was not really permitted either, so needless to say that riding became a scarce and perilous business. There is nothing too fancy about it as it was completely unplanned, but even after knowing him for 15 years now, I never stop being amazed by his ability to find options no matter the spot (like dirt jumping and flipping a pile of gravel).” – Leo Mongendre

Weird & Revered “Vagabond Squad” – Team Ontario Section

June 17, 2020

The Weird & Revered crew coming through with another awesome section from the “Vagabond Squad” DVD. This time around we get a mix section from the Team Ontario squad who went to work on street spots, parks and more. This has a real good mix of tricks, with plenty of fufanus mixed in there, and styles, making for a good watch. Take a look!

Next up in our release of sections from Vagabond Squad is a split part from Kyle Lafleur, Sean Tiffin, and Ted Bambrick.” – DIG

“Kyle, Sean, and Ted were all born in the Canadian province of Ontario, but have since called Alberta home. This split part provides a healthy mix of brake tricks, peg tricks, and high airs. While their riding styles may vary, their ages and roots hardly do.” – Justin Schwanke

Alex Gonzalez – Isolated Ditches

June 16, 2020

Alex Gonzalez hasn’t slowed down during the shut down. He’s used the distancing as an excused to go out and explore some of the ditch spots around New Mexico, an do some solo filming! Here’s a look at what he’s cooked up for clips from his sessions! Great riding with some clean film work. Can’t go wrong with this BMX video.

“It doesn’t seem to matter; time in New Mexico takes the long way around with not too much to worry about, when it comes to the distress in the rest of the world, the state moves along as usual most of the time… During quarantine, the city of Albuquerque pretty much looked the same, vacancy isn’t a shock and the empty streets are a mainstay in the street riders handbook. So, Alex Gonzales took a new page out of his and took to the Arroyos’ (ditches); searching the endless concrete to find a different type of isolation.

Self-filmed in the month of April, 2020, Alex really shows the creative potential of what you can do, with or without lockdown!” – DIG

“The Yeaturdays Volume 1 hittin’ you with some Southeastern Pennsylvania flavor via Shilo Staniech, Eeshond Kirk, Angus Beef, Matt Loughead, Matt Smith and Dan Conway. Great vibes all-around.
