The second stop of the 2019 DIY BMX Worlds went down at the FBM warehouse in New York during their open house the other weekend! Here’s a highlight video giving you a look at all of the action that went down from the sketchy setup outside to the ramps inside.

Chase Hawk “It’s Later Than You Think” Section – CULT

June 8, 2019

Here’s one that you cannot miss! Cult have released Chase Hawk‘s section from the “It’s Later Than You Think” DVD, and as expected, it turned out absolutely amazing. Watch as Chase slays street spots, bowls, pools and more. As always, Chase brings his speed and style to everything, making everything look so damn good. Hit play and take in everything from start to finish!

“He first featured on the pages of DIG back in Issue 14 (Jan/Feb 2001) as a young whippersnapper kicking his bike around with effortless style. Fast forward 18 or so years and he holds a spot as one of the most respected riders out there, an icon of bike control, and possession of an ability to make the simplest (and not so simple) motions become a work of art. With many epic video parts under his belt it’s time to introduce you to his latest masterpiece (if you didn’t catch it on DVD already), released last year, his Cult “It’s Later Than You Think” section is another banger which will leave pegless fans and style fans’ jaws on the floor. The Austin boy did it again.

“Next up in our ‘Behind The Part’ series we have the king of style himself, Chase Hawk. Chase briefly explains the process he went through filming his ‘It’s Later Than You Think’ part and how whilst on one of the filming trips for this CULT’s Art Director Adam Roye tagged along to Cali with his VHS camera. The result is a look at the the often decrepit surrounds Chase and Co find themselves in when searching out these diamond pool spots with a bit extra riding for you coping fans out there!

The Waffle Jam 2019

June 4, 2019

It seems like there’s always something rad going on down in South Africa. Here’s highlights from The Waffle Jam that went down in Cape Town recently. They took an old abandoned pool, brought in some ramps, poured some cement transitions, dropped a trampoline, grill and DJ in there and things went off. Hit play to see everything that went down!

“The Waffle Jam is annual BMX jam hosted by Vans South Africa in the Mother City of Cape Town. This years Jam gave collaboration a whole new meaning with a large amount of DIY. The project was lead by Vans team rider Brandon Blight, who saw potential in a newly repurposed high school swimming pool as the venue for this years event. The pool has been empty for many years and has lost its structural integrity, deeming it unsafe for use as a swimming pool. In recent years, local skate legend Dallas Oberholzer had come to an agreement with Cape Town High School to allow for DIY concrete trannies to but built inside the school, with the end goal of a unique skatepark in mind. The pool is not yet open to the public, aside from one skate event. Brandon and Dallas put their heads together and began to plan what the BMX riders of Cape Town could contribute to this new park. With only a few weeks away from Cape Towns winter settling in, the planning and building began. More trannies were added in the shallow side of the pool for flow, with the intention of leaving deep end un-modified, as many could agree, it was gnarly enough as it stood. Many riders and homies came through with different skill sets to prepare the pool, ramps, school grounds and cater for the event. Luck was on our side and Cape Town showed us her finest colours, resulting in a warm, windless day for the jam. Huge shout out to everyone who came thru for that entire week leading up to the jam and picked up a drill, spade or butter knife. See you all at Waffle Jam 3!” – Kevin Schnider

Results:

1st – Vincent Leygonie

2nd – Murray Loubser

3rd – Malcolm Peters

Best trick – Jason Prins
