Welp, we’re a day late on this one, but that’s okay. It’s still worth checking out if you’re not completely over Christmas yet. Empire dropped this Christmas Special featuring Santa.. two Santa’s, getting some time in at the shop in Austin, Texas. Take a look as they spend some time screwing around before getting to work delivering some BMX goodies for the holidays.
Storm Troopers Ride BMX?
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!

Filmed/ Edited Jeremie Infelise
38 minutes
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!”
“Diadem” Goon Roll
It’s been a little while since we’ve heard about the Diadem video from Texas, but it looks like they have been keeping on it. Tom over at Empire hit us with a link to this raw cut of scraps and extra footage from their “Diadem” BMX video that will be surfacing soon. We have a good feeling that this one is going to kick some ass, so get stoked and enjoy this one.
“Unused clips, second angles and a few extra laughs. full video online soon, stay tuned!”
Empire – Steven Hamilton Fall 2015
Empire BMX dropped us a line to let us know they have a brand new Steven Hamilton BMX video for all of us to enjoy! Once again, Steven has come through with some incredible riding and skateboarding on so many different and unique spots. Taking his buttery smooth style with plenty of speed to everything from ledges to big gaps, wall rides and more. There’s a healthy number of fufanus and abubacas spread throughout this as well, which is always a good thing, too. Needless to say, you already know this is one BMX video you cannot miss!
Empire BMX – Fathead 2015
When a new Fathead BMX video drops, you know you can count on two things; great riding and a bunch of laughs. Although this new on from Empire is a little lighter on the laughs than we usually experience from Alex, it’s packed full of great spots, riding and a hilarious end that is slightly uncomfortable. All in all, a great watch. Hit play and enjoy already!
Pre-Order: Sunday Bikes X Empire BMX – Watermelon Motoross Frames

Empire BMX – Steven Hamilton Is Freestyle
When Empire BMX drops us a link to a new BMX video, we know it’s going to be good. When it’s a new Steven Hamilton video, we know we have to hit play the second it loads. Watch as Steven shows you how to ride some spots that a lot of you might roll on past, and just how having a set of brakes can make for some real dialed clips on those spots you might not even try and ride. There’s also an interesting message from Tom at Empire that was in the description, which might open your eyes to the unfortunate side of the circle of BMX that we’ve been seeing lately. Either way, hit play and enjoy. This doesn’t disappoint!
“America 1992
BMX is dead
BMX bicycle sales have reached an all-time low. Large factory teams are a thing of the past. Only a very small number of professional riders remain. Of these riders, only a few receive money from sponsors. A sport that once had five monthly magazines now has one. Contest arenas that were once crowded with spectators are now made up of only the most dedicated riders. Professional freestyle exhibits are nearly non-existent. Many bike shops no longer carry 20” bikes and accessories, because in their eyes, “BMX is dead” – Eddie Roman “Ride On” (1992)
“Sound familiar? Dry your eyes, player. The cycles of BMX are as predictable as they are inevitable. The barren sands of 1992 yielded a harvest of unparalleled creativity and progression, and the reins of BMX were snatched from the stiff hands of bloated corporate corpses from sea to shining sea. Capable and driven individuals and crews like The Condor, Mad Dog, Homeless Bikes, Rick Moliterno, and an elite group of other visionaries fed off of their strong wills, DYI ethos, and love of BMX, deftly laying the path for a generation to come.
To us, Steven is a shining beacon of hope in these turbulent waters, if you will, the hero that BMX needs in this time of confusion and tense unrest. He is a consummate trick technician, with unparalleled spot awareness and a unique style that none can imitate. It is our honor to present this video to you. Enjoy it, and sleep well tonight knowing that while the gravitational pull of change cannot and should not be stopped, Steven will always be standing tall as a bulwark against apathy, despair, and gross style. lol.“
