If Money Were No Object, Would You Get Out And Ride?

July 31, 2015

Mike King put together an interesting video that asks a question that I’d be willing to bet a lot of you haven’t actually considered despite it being a pretty fair question…

“What would you do if money were no object? What would you do with your life, how would you spend your time, what would you you get up to? Would you be out on your bike at every opportunity?”

The video above features Bob Manchester and Ollie Shields who both have had videos showing us what they do for a living outside of BMX recently, which Mike produced. But it kind of goes to show that these two guys are working to support their habit of BMX.

I’d be willing to bet a lot of you, if you’re older working full-time, have a family or any of the countless adult responsibilities that keep you off your bike, would find more time to ride if you did have the money to keep you from working all the time.

… Man, how good would that be? A life of riding without having to work? We’re not talking being a pro rider because that is actually a lot of work with a lot of responsibilities and obligations. We’re just talking you have enough money to ride and do whatever you want without obligations… Talk about living the dream. It seems almost hard to explain because it’s such an unrealistic thought….

Let’s talk about this… Leave some thoughts in the comments!

Inside and Out – Jack Clark

July 30, 2015

It’s not news that Jack Clark is an absolute animal when it comes to ramp riding on a BMX bike. What is news is that he has this brand new edit filmed and edited by Mike King that is packed full of amazing riding that you cannot miss! Get on that play button because this video is just over 3 minutes of pure gold from the UK!

“Jack Clark is a force to be reckoned with in the UK BMX park scene. Why? Because he does just about everything first go… Bangers bangers bangers are the only words in Jack’s dictionary, incredibly hard to believe Jack he’s still without a bike sponsor. Over the course of just a day we took Jack inside to Legacy XS Skatepark in Benfleet, Essex and outside to ROM, Romford, where we then basically just sat back and watched him destroy everything in his path… ”

Ollie Shields Works Hard And Plays Harder

June 24, 2015

When Ollie Shields isn’t working 70 hours a week, there’s a good chance you might just find him at the Seventies Distribution warehouse absolutely destorying the ramps in the back. Check out this video of him, along with a few familiar faces, putting the pegs to good use! That ender clip is absolutely HUGE, too!

“Ollie Shields goes behind closed doors at the Seventies Distribution HQ with a crew of bona fide shredders for some super steezy rail and ramp action. Seventies Distribution were the first people to sponsor Ollie and he has stayed super close with them over the years, always dropping by when he’s around and taking advantage of their sick, in-house setup. See what he can do when he tag teams the park with one of the most epic teams in BMX.” – Epic TV
