Lil’ Pros UK BMX Tour Returns To Unit 23 Skatepark

December 27, 2020

Some of you might recall the Lil’ Pros BMX Tour videos from back in 2013 / 2014 that Dustin Grice organized featuring the younger riders at a bunch of different parks around the U.S and U.K. The series was pretty wild and ultimately a lot of the videos went viral and got a TON of views. Dustin went back to Unit 23 Skatepark around 2016 or 2017 to do a sequel to the original, but for some reason the video never surfaced online until now. Based on the footage, and age of Kieran Reilly, we figured that this was filmed about 4 years ago since Kieran is 19 now and says he’s 15 in the video. Either way, pretty cool to see the progress some of the kids from the original video to this one. It would be interesting to see what it’s like now, nearly 7 since the original video dropped. Either way, pretty cool to see this.

“After amassing more than 7,000,000 views on YouTube, Lil Pros Tour returns to its MOST VIRAL FILM ever… Welcome back to Unit 23 in Scotland. Join the crew as we check in with all of the kids again, years later, growing up fast and continuing to progress BMX stronger than ever…

Happy Holidays to all of you and your families, it has been an extremely challenging time worldwide, however, we are very thankful that we have this amazing unreleased footage from before the pandemic in our archives to remember all of our great times together, and look forward to the day that we can all celebrate like this on our bikes again… Cheers to our futures, 2021, and a whole new year full of opportunity!

BIG THANK YOU & APPRECIATION to Mark Ducat and Kieran Riley for their kindness to organize this memorable celebration back at Unit 23 and Loch Lomond, and to Matt Nicklen, Stephen Murray, Seth Murray, and Mason Murray for an incredible road trip through England straight north towards the Highlands of Scotland.

If you have ever visited Minnesota to ride, there’s no doubt that somebody had mentioned The Factory to you as a spot to check out.

Hit play to get a look at it all and expect to see plenty of footage from this place in the near future.

Monday Night Football BMX Half Time Show

October 7, 2016

Last Monday, during the Monday Night Football game between the Minnesota Vikings and the New York Giants, there was a BMX demo that went down during half-time to keep the crowd excited and to help hype up the X Games that will be going down at the new Minnesota Vikings stadium in Minneapolis. Here’s two videos giving us a look at what the crew who were invited to do the show got into during the day (Chad’s video below) and some footage from the show up top (Dustin’s video). Can’t imagine what it was like riding in front of so many people!

“67,000 fans fill the brand new US Bank Stadium during Monday Night Football for the Vikings’ second ever home game, completely sold out, and little do they know they would see a live preview for X-Games right during half time… Join ASA Entertainment with local pro Dustin Grice on the mic as he welcomes X-Games Gold Medalists Daniel Dhers, Ryan Decenzo, home town hero Levi Lavallee, and all the riders from The Factory Minneapolis’ 24-Hour BMX Facility including Nitro World Games Champion Colton Walker, Evan Moyle, AJ “Ironman” Haines, Tristan “TwisterX15” Sagastume, Dallas Light, as well as Division BMX’s riders & ramp crew Casey Ervin, Jared Wiedower, and Micah Kranz. This now sets the first ever action sports & BMX riding to ever go down in the new stadium… What will we see next?”

“Last minute call to fly up to the new Minnesota Vikings stadium to do demos and halftime show. Said YES before I planned anything out. Trouble could be I had to be back to work at my shop Mr. B’s by noon the next day. 3am up and direct flight made this happen. Bill Nitschke, Dane Beardsley, and my self did demos outside with the cheerleaders and drum line. My camera was not recording for the 1st and last show…so this is what I got…also sprinkle in some of my chadisradasadad snapchat and here is my 24 hours Monday night football. Thanks to ASA, Xgames, Rick, Bill, Dave Freimuth, and the whole crew for one wild time. Still wish it was the Packers but this being my first monday night footballI will take it. Met Steve Young, Gruden walked past us, Eli and the Giants…and more. Where my bike brings me. Thanks Micah Kranz.” – Chad DeGroot

Fat Bikes On A Snow Park

March 12, 2016

Dustin Grice and Matt Ford decided to take a break from BMX and sneak into Buck Hill in Minnesota to take their Fat Bikes through their terrain park and half pipe bright and early, along with a handful of other guys like Glenn Dussl from QBP. They didn’t exactly “sneak in”, but it’s still pretty wild. Dustin pulled out the GoPro to film the action so we could see what went down! Matt Ford is a crazy guy… Check it out. Who would love to do this?
