Weird & Revered – At Home With Justin Schwanke

March 10, 2017

We’re always stoked to see some new footage from Justin Scwhanke. Here’s a new Weird & Revered video that DIG dropped featuring Justin getting down on his backyard ramp setup. As always, Justin came through with a TON of creative and unique clips that make for a super good watch. Get on that play button and enjoy!

“I filmed this video in my backyard throughout the summer and fall of 2016. Every session involved one camera, a tripod, an archaic MP3 player, headphones, and my ever-expanding list of trick ideas (most of which don’t actually work out). My usual audience is the assortment of birds and gophers who take up residence in the backyard. On occasion though, my neighbours may watch from afar in confusion. I can only imagine what they think when they hear grunts of frustration as I ride alone in the same line for hours on end.” – Justin Schwanke

Wethepeople – Territories: Ed Zunda & Dillon Lloyd

March 9, 2017

The second episode from the “Territories” trip some of the Wethepeople and Eclat team took to Ningbo, China is live! This time around we get a look at what Ed Zunda and Dillon Lloyd got into during their time exploring spots. As always, both of these guys bring some heavy grinds and smooth lines to the table, making for a real good watch from start to finish. It looks like Dillon also left his mark on some bamboo that had it coming. THis video is packed full of dialed riding and spots, with some super clean film work. Do NOT pass it up!

After you watch this, go watch Eclat Territories: Alex Kennedy & Bruno Hoffmann

“Back in October of last year we started a new DIG travel project. For the first one we teamed up with official partner brands Éclat BMX and WETHEPEOPLE and selected two riders from each brand to accompany us to a city none of us had ever been to or even knew about. Ningbo is about 2.5 hours south of Shanghai in China and had more than enough good spots and interesting locals to make for an epic trip.

Episode 2 features Ed Zunda & Dillon Lloyd (WETHEPEOPLE). The 1st episode in this series features Alex Kennedy and Bruno Hoffmann and the third episode will feature our ‘In The Cut’ behind the scenes footage from the whole trip.

Big thanks to Touch Bike Co for all their help.

When you see Bruno Hoffmann and Alex Kennedy‘s name pop up, you should know by now that you’re about to see something wild. Eclat teamed up with DIG to send Alex and Bruno to China to see what the place had to offer up for spots for these two to slay! Needless to say, these guys matched the heat and dropped some serious hammers!

Low Profile – Leon Hoppe

February 28, 2017

If you haven’t caught one of Leon Hoppe‘s past BMX videos, you’re definitely missing out if you like technical grind combos and lines, big drops and spins. Leon’s riding has a lot of power and it has an almost beast like feel to it. Here’s his latest video filled with all of those things that should get you stoked to head out and ride.

Anyone want to see Leon and Justin Spriet play a game of B-I-K-E? These two definitely had some similar riding style that would be entertaining to watch.

If you’re liking what you’re seeing, check out more from Leon right here.

“Leon Hoppe is part of a new generation of highly progressive German riders who grew up in the web video era. Being constantly bombarded with daily injections of fresh BMX riding via the Internet, there is almost no trick that these guys hadn’t seen in a video, studied, learnt and then mastered over the course of a week, hungry for their next assignment on the Monday. Germany’s highly active and tight knit scene has taught Leon that hard work pays off, and over the past three years since, we’ve seen Leon transform from that unknown “really good kid”, to one of the most dialed riders out there right now. With an uncharacteristically dry sense of humor (for a German), and an incredibly positive outlook on riding, Leon is one to look out for in the future.” – DIG

Youth of Today – Justin Hughes

February 23, 2017

Here’s a fresh one featuring the grind technician known as Justin Hughes going to work on street spots around Montreal courtesy of DIG. Justin goes to work on every ledge and rail he came across mixiing lines with grinds, crnakflips, freecoaster action, barspins and more. Take a look!

“Justin Hughes has been in the Montreal scene for what feels like forever so you can quickly forget just how young he actually is. Dubbed as Dillon Lloyd’s protégé in his earliest years of riding – he’s definitely moved well beyond being Dillon’s wingman into the tech street shredder that he is today. Of the younger generation of Montreal riders, no one knows the streets better than Hughes does. With a big year in the works, it’s fitting he starts it off with this DIG Youth of Today piece” – Jeremy Deme

[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/305059580″ params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” /]

Now this is a great way to start your Sunday morning off right! Here’s a fresh podcast interview with Chase Hawk to check out! Snakebite‘s Shad Johnson and DIG’s Rob Dolecki sat down with Chase to fire out a bunch of questions for him to answer from getting his start in Racing to what he has going on these days (well, as of last year when this was recorded). This is a great listen, so grab yourself a cup of coffee, kick back and enjoy!

“Shad Johnson and Rob Dolecki sat down with style G-O-D Chase Hawk on a rainy day last Spring (2016) at his townhouse in Austin for Chase’s first podcast. He covers a lot of ground, including his first exposure to BMX at 9th Street, his racing days, witnessing the explosion of the Austin population and riding scene, stealing sandwiches from Wawa during summers staying in Bethlehem, taking everyone’s money via Cee-lo on Road Fools, his Born and Raised comps, how Cult grew so fast, the Joe Rich influence, wrapping up the soon-to-be-released etnies video ‘Chapters’ (Chase’s part is going be an epic one), witnessing an intense beat-down in South Africa, and just a ton of good stories!” – DIG

Garrett Byrnes “Coming Down” Trailer

February 16, 2017

You know this is going to be awesome…

It looks like there’s a documentary that will be dropping soon featuring the one and only Garrett Byrnes that will feature interviews from a few different industry guys, friends and family of Garrett, classic and current riding footage and more! Garrett has and always will kick a ton of ass on and off a bike, so this should be a damn good watch. Get ready.

“We’ve been working on this one for well over a year now and we’re stoked to finally drop the official trailer for ‘Coming Down’, our DIG Garrett Byrnes documentary.

Garrett is one of those guys who we have long considered to be a true BMX legend and someone whose inspiration continues to operate at a different level than what is perceived as the norm. In fact, riders like Garrett and his ilk are the motivational backbone of our near 25 year existence as a BMX media outlet. This film is simply our way of showing respect for that inspiration and continued motivation.

Look for the full film soon exclusively on DIG and even more in our #diglegends series to follow.

‘Coming Down’ is a DIG BMX Production.

Christian Rigal “Still United” Files

February 15, 2017

A look into what went into Christian Rigal’s “Still United” section…

There’s no denying that Christian Rigal went all in on his “Still United” section, and this is a good reminder of that. Here’s a TON of b-roll, crashes, random clips and more that didn’t quite make the cut for the actual part.

“We are huge fans of Still United at DIG so we’re real psyched on this series of raw bonus, unseen and behind-the-scenes footage from the DVD. We’ll have one of these dropping every Wednesday through February and March so keep your eyes peeled on http://digbmx.com – Next up is the realest of rail slayers, Christian Rigal! We were there for a lot of Christian’s section getting filmed and it was inspiring to watch someone go into something with such a level of commitment. Don’t miss his extras right here. That last rail to fence gap… woah.
