KC also talks about his transition to life “after BMX” where he has followed his other interests like fishing. This one is over 2 hours long, but it’s a damn good listen. Hit play and take it all in.

“Mid-shool stalwart and KINK BMX legend KC Badger and I talk about the Arizona scene in the late 90’s, his years on Kink, the Mountain Bike Vs BMX Bike debate, dead bodies at the trails, Fly fishing, and much much more.” – Shad Johnson

June 13, 2019

The Weird & Revered “Vagabond Squad” DVD premiered the other weekend after a couple of years of traveling and stacking clips! Here’s a video they put together from the premiere, along with a street jam that the crew went out on as well! Looks like it was a great time to us!

“Canada’s Weird & Revered crew has been hard at work on a full length BMX film entitled, “Vagabond Squad.” The film is community rooted with a strong focus on the Edmonton BMX scene. Although a majority of the clips are from their home city, the footage spans 9 countries, 8 American states, and 4 Canadian provinces and territories. After 3 years of filming, the project is now complete. On May 11, the crew celebrated with a premiere and street jam. Here is a taste of what the event looked like, as captured by various members of the Edmonton BMX scene.” – DIG

Alessandro Donaggio – Zona Uno

June 12, 2019

There are different levels of commitment when it comes to BMX, and Alessandro Donaggio went all in! After moving from Italy to Barcelona, Spain in search of more opportunities to ride with other riders and some of the worlds spots, it’s safe to say the decision has been a good one. Hit play to watch Alessandro go to work on spots all over his new home. No shortage of gold in this BMX video.

“I’m Alessandro Donaggio, a BMX street rider from a small island of Venice, Italy. I started BMX when I was 16 after I worked hard and finally I had the possibility of buying my first bike. I was the only rider in my town and most of the time I was riding alone, because there was no one else to share my passion with. I soon realized that it wasn’t the right place for me.

I left for Barcelona at 19 and now I have been living here for a year and a half. Riding here is made of early mornings and late nights in between my shifts at work. I realized how much BMX was helping me when things were going wrong, and falling apart; but what’s more important for me is to share my feelings to the people on the streets, and express myself through BMX, as if it was an artform.” – Alessandro Donaggio

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!
