Empire BMX – “This Is The Way We Ball” with Aaron Ross and Tom Dugan

January 7, 2016

What happens when you give the keys of a Lamborghini to Aaron Ross and Tom Dugan for a day? Well, this BMX video from Empire BMX will give you a good idea. A while back, Aaron’s friend hooked him up with the car for a day to do whatever they wanted… Needless to say, they pushed the limits on what would probably make the owner of that car cry, haha. Check it out!

“2 years ago a dude was starting a luxury rental car place in Austin Texas and he let a good friend of mine (@365thingsaustin) borrow this car for a day to advertise about it… She hooked me up with the guy to borrow the Lambo for 24 hours and we made the most of it. We pretty much drove that car for 20 hours straight and had so much fun. We did a 180mph (not a safe idea) didn’t get any tickets and @tommydugan jumped over the car over and over. @devonhutchins filmed the whole day and sat on the footage for the last few years not knowing what to do with it so he finally put it all together and here’s the edit.”

January 5, 2016

Empire hit us with a link to a new video they dropped featuring Aaron Ross putting together his latest signature Sunday Bikes Motoross frame decked out with Sunday and Odyssey parts! Aaron gives us a little insight into how he likes to put his bikes together as well. I bet you didn’t know Tri-Flow is good for putting grips on. All in all, it looks like a shiny new BMX bike to us that’s ready to be put to heavy use. Did you catch Aaron’s “30.15” section that was dropped online last week?

Storm Troopers Ride BMX?

December 14, 2015

Today has been a good one for the Star Wars fans out there. We just posted a video of Darth Vader Riding a BMX bike and Skateboard, and now we spotted a photogallery of a Storm Trooper getting a look at some dialed BMX products at the Empire BMX shop over on the X-Games website. Turns out Storm Troopers like to get down on BMX bikes, too… Maybe Darth Vader made it a mandatory thing? It’s hard to say, but we can tell you that they look pretty rad on a bike!

Austin/Central TX has a long and rich history of BMX. When presented with their positive attitudes and 100% commitment to shredding any and all forms of terrain, the decision to facilitate a full-length DVD documentation of the next generation’s adventures was a no-brainer for us. These young guns are the embodiment of what we think is best about BMX: searching for dope spots, putting tires, pegs, and pedals on obstacles in creative and fun ways, and most importantly, doing it all with a smile on your face with your crew. Shouts to Cabbage Crew, Gnarnia BMX, and Jeremie Infelise for making it all happen!”
