United – “Sleepy 32”

July 25, 2019

The United crew recently spent a rainy day cruising at the M32 park over in the U.K! Here is a fresh edit from the riding that went down. No shortage of grinds and lines cooked up for this one. Take a look!

““A few of the United boys stayed in Bristol UK for a week after NASS. We got pretty lucky with the weather, apart from one day of straight rain, so instead of sitting in going sight seeing we decided tho hit the M32 spot, hand made by the Bristol skaters under a motorway – the perfect escape from the rain. We had the idea to maybe get a couple of clips on the VX to make a little edit and it soon escalated into everyone doing mind blowing lines. So here it is, one day at the M32 spot with Ben Gordon, Kris Bunnage, Harry Mills-Wakley , Fernando Laczko and Miki Fleck. Enjoy!“” – Emerson Morgan

Doomed – It’s Fooked

July 24, 2019

You can always count on the Doomed squad to deliver! Here’s a new mix they dropped from the streets, ramps and trails of Bristol for your viewing pleasure. This is just over 8 minutes of pure gold! Hit play and take it all in!

“Doomed bicycle professionals Felix Prangenberg, Jordan Godwin, Sam Jones and Jordan O’Kane couldn’t afford to go to Europe so they rode Bristol, UK instead. Because no one ever has ridden Bristol have they? Course they have. Its sick though – 8 minutes of prime bike riding as usual from this lot.

Florent Soulas – After Work

July 18, 2019

It has been entirely too long since we’ve been able to enjoy some fresh Florent Soulas footage. Fortunately, here’s a fresh batch of clips from the sessions he has been getting in after work as of late. As always, Florent brings a crazy style that brings a good mix of tricks with plenty of manual and nose balance mixed in! Hit play and enjoy!

FIT’s freestyle ninja lives a family life in France but whenever he has a spare minute you can find him performing some physics-warping stunts aboard his bike. Our man Antoine Sabourin captured a local post-work session in Rochefort…” – DIG

DIY BMX Worlds 2019 – Whipsnake

July 15, 2019

The 3rd stop of the FBM X DIG DIY World Championships went down at the Whipsnake park out in the Carolina’s the other weekend. Despite some rain that kept things moist, it looks like everyone was able to get plenty of riding and good times in. This one looked more like a camping trip with friends than a contest, and that is what makes this so good. Hit play and take it all in!

“Deep in the cut of the US Carolina pine forests, completely off the grid and removed from normal society, sits a DIY/artist Shangri La of sorts, known as Whipsnake.
Built by underground DIY champion Tom Risser, this low-key spot showcases acres of his eclectic metal sculptures and this homemade concrete wonderland…

Miles from anywhere, and conveniently located right in-between somewhere and nowhere, we posted up for a weekend campout, for stop 3 on the FBM X DIG DIY World Tour, enduring mosquitos, coyotes, hundred degree weather, intense summer storms, and believe it or not, no phone service. Pack it in, pack it out, bring what you need, and leave with what you brought, minus a gallon or so of sweat, some blood, and whatever was inside the cooler…

Places like Whipsnake are wildly different than pre fab local parks, and most public spots, primarily known by word of mouth, amongst people in the ‘know’, places like this are hallowed ground for riders who build their own spots to ride, whether it’s a ramps, a set of trails or DIY concrete park, spot building and maintenance adds another layer all together to the riding experience, and Whipsnake is pinnacle to that whole idea.

Build your own fun , throw a jam, bring the people together and share it with everyone… – Steve Crandall

DIY Detroit or Bust

July 13, 2019

DIY spots are a lot like trails. They can be there one day, and gone the next. Some of the crew up in Detroit recently spent some time cruising at a DIY spot before things got shut down. Check out a bunch of clips featuring a handful of familiar faces and a few new ones going to work on the setup they built inside this abandoned building.

“How does the saying go? “As one door closes, another one opens”… Well, that’s exactly what happened to the Detroit scene when their DIY park got the wrecking ball treatment… kinda. Soon as one was gone, another DIY was born, only to be shut down once again. Luckily the crew managed to a couple of days fun before it was all over. Dylan Thayer explains more…” – DIG

“End of April 2019, word was out that one of the local DIY parks in Detroit was closing/being demolished. Meanwhile, some homies found a covered spot (this) which was possibly going to be the replacement location. With it already having a few things already built inside, seeming like a prefect new location for a new DIY beginning. I decided to start filming some riding, hoping to catch some attention of more people to be involved. When unfortunately police stopped by and gave the boot explaining not to come back because the city literally just built a Bike/skate Plaza down by the river side. (which is one of the few things i’m working on currently) So this is everything filmed in the first and only two days at what we thought was going to be the new DIY spot.” – Dylan Thayer

United – Fernando Laczko “Up North Down South”

July 12, 2019

It has been quite some time since we’ve seen a new video from Fernando Laczko due to him having knee surgery and taking time to recover properly. Now that he’s back, it looks like he’s feeling good on his bike and ended up taking most of the past year to film this BANGER of a video for United! Everything about this from the riding to the spots, filming and editing are on point, and you will definitely not want to miss this one! Hit play and enjoy. Hopefully this means we’ll be seeing plenty more of Fernando in 2019!

“Following on from a year long ACL and meniscus recovery, United’s Fernando Laczko was ready to go in hard on a video, and after nine months of filming it turned out to be one of his best to date. Shot throughout Spain – Fernando definitely pushed the boat out on this one. Gap to grinds galore!” – DIG

“The whole idea to film with Gonzalo was because I just came back from a recovery and wanted to take as much time as I needed to work on a video. I usually go on one week trips where the video needs to be finished after that. The last time I had the chance to take my time was for my welcome to United video.

This was filmed over a duration of 9 months and has taken us all around Spain. From me going back and forth to Madrid and Gonzalo taking trips down here, we did a 7 day trip from Vigo to Madrid stopping in different cities such as Bilbao and Pamplona.

For me it’s more than a web video. If someone asked me to film a video part for a dvd I would give them this. I had that thought in my head while filming it if you know what I mean?

It was almost like I was filming an imaginary video part for myself. My “mentality” had finally returned after one year of ACL and meniscus recovery, I could finally ride without having the worry in the back of my mind.

I picked Gonzalo cuz’ he’s the man in Spain to film with. We became friends while he was filming a homie and I knew I wanted to work on something with him ever since.” – Fernando Laczko
