Erik Orgo Shreds His Home Skatepark

February 6, 2016

Here’s a fresh new BMX video featuring Erik Orgo putting in work at his local skatepark over in Estonia! As we’ve come to learn from Erik over the years, this guy has a deep bag of tricks and he has some real good style to pair up with those tricks to make for some really good riding worth checking out. This is no exception. Check it!

“Estonia is definitely a country with a lot of talent when it comes to BMX and Erik Orgo is no exception! After ending up as the best Estonian rider at this year’s Simple Session, there was no way Philip Kölsch could resist filming an edit in his home park. Even with the harsh weather and an almost hour long bike ride through the cold to get to the spot, the 18-year-old Estonian managed to lay down a solid session! Erik is, without a doubt, someone to keep your eyes peeled for.” – Epic TV

Behind the Scenes of Isaac Lesser’s “Build It” Video

January 20, 2016

Last week we got a look at Isaac Lesser’s crazy “Build It” video, but what you probably didn’t know is that this was way more complicated than it seemed! Watch this Behind the Scenes BMX video giving you some insight into the project from building the ramps, breaking his foot and getting healthy and back on his bike to crashes and more. It’s definitely an interesting watch that gives some perspective on the challenges that come with filming.

“Isaac Lesser has been riding ROM Skatepark for almost 15 years. Being the oldest skatepark in the UK, the classic, concrete haven boasts endless lines and haunting transitions.
However Isaac decided it was time to think outside the box, and with the addition of a few wooden extras, was able to open up gaps, lines and transfers that nobody would’ve thought possible.

You’ve seen the riding video, now go behind the scenes and learn what it took to make this project possible.”

Isaac Lesser – Build It

January 13, 2016

On it’s own, ROM Skatepark might be a little bit dated, but if you mix in different ramps all over the place… You have one hell of a spot with endless opportunities. Watch as Isaac Lesser shows us how he gets down on his home turf with the help of a few power tools and wood. Excellent riding in this!

Oskars Zajarskis at the Malaga Skatepark

October 23, 2015

If there’s one place that is, or should be on everyones wish list for travel, it’s the Skatepark of Malaga over in Spain. We’ve seen a ton of videos coming out of the park lately and we’re sure with the winter coming in that we will be seeing plenty more people making the voyage there. Here’s a BMX video from a trip Oskars Zajarskis took this past spring to the park where he spent his time cruising the bowl, street setup and trails.

“In May 2015 one of Latvia’s best, Oskars Zajarskis, took a trip to Malaga, Spain, home of one of the world’s most influential riders – Ruben Alcantara. Ruben is also the designer of Malaga’s latest and one of Spain’s best skateparks which offers something for every style of riding, from the great bowl, to trials and street plaza riding. Oskars threw down at each of those areas with his amazing riding style, all captured by the expert eye of Philip Kölsch.”

Animal Bikes – Past, Present and Future: Part 2

October 2, 2015

Man, Epic TV are really taking their time to release these sections! Finally, we have part two from the Past, Present and Future feature on Animal Bikes where Ralph Sinisi talks a little bit more about the past of Animal, then jumps into future projects they have going. Since this was filmed a while back, we would imagine there’s a more specific plan in the works, but it will be good to see Animal getting a jump start again. Take a look!

Did you miss part one? Watch part one here: Animal Bikes – Past, Present and Future: Part 1

“Pick back up on the history lesson with part 2 of Past, Present and Future with Animal Bikes. Ralph picks back up with the history of the brand, specifically how their early video releases affected the progression of both the company and street riding. Then he covers the evolution of the team, their approach when designing new parts, and his outlook for the future of the company.” – Epic TV
