Ever wondered how Daniel Dhers is living these days? Check out the house tour that ESPN BMX posted up. Looks like a nice pad to call home for sure.
Chase Hawk Bike Check
Grant Smith and Reed Stark on New BSD Video Series
Banned in the Backyard Jam Highlights
I have a feeling this is just the start of the footage pouring out from the Banned jam down in Florida last weekend. Check out Caleb Quanbeck, Hoang Tran, Lahsaan Kobza, Paul Ryan, Mark Mulville, Ryan Sher and more throwing down on the sketchy setup in this ESPN BMX edit. Seriously wish I was at this. Looks like it was such a good time.
Bobby Kanode’s Skatepark Extras
ESPN BMX dropped this rad new edit featuring some extra clips Bobby Kanode isn’t planning on using for his DVD that he’s working on. I’d imagine this video will be packed with goodness based on these “extras”.
“Arizona filmmaker Bobby Kanode is hard at work on a new DVD depicting the riding in his area, and along the way, he’s been steadily collecting footage from area skateparks. In the above video, Kanode zeroes in on the ‘Young Thundercat’ crew in Glendale, Ariz., featuring the likes of Cody Clark, Dawson Clark, Troy Blair, Jake Cohoe, Andrew Krueger, Dean Watson, Arnaud Wolff, Linwood Monk and Clay Johnson. It’s been a little while since we’ve seen a good backflip to crankflip combo (probably since Danny Hickerson’s Props bio), but Kanode and crew come though on all that and more in the above video.”
Grant Castelluzzo Bike Check
Head over to the ESPN BMX website to get a closer look at Grant Castelluzzo’s bike decked out with Mutiny and Profile Racing parts. This is a technical street riding machine.
Shadow Conspiracy 10 Year Anniversary Photogallery
Head over to ESPN BMX to check out a photogallery from the 10 year anniversary party for The Shadow Conspiracy this past weekend. Looks like they had a hell of a good time to me.
I personally hate my life for not being able to make the flight down. Would have loved to be there.
Keeping Up with Ben Hucke
ESPN BMX‘s Aaron Nardi caught up with Ben Hucke to find out what’s new and what’s to come for the dude. Sit back and get filled in on things along with some riding clips mixed in for good measure.
“Before the winter arrived in Portland, Ore., Diamond Back pro Ben Hucke traveled to Austin, Texas to ride in the Texas Toast Jam and begin filming for his new web series “Getting Serious.” Unfortunately, Ben wasn’t signed up to ride in the contest, and instead ended up falling down a few times during practice. This parable has little to do with the above video of Ben, but it is pretty indicative of his approach to the BMX pro pursuit — he keeps it mellow and entertaining.
In the above video, Ben sits down to discuss life as a BMX pro heading into 2013. For Ben, that means new sponsors. He recently signed on with Diamond Back, and his signature Nightseeker frame is arriving in stores now. On top of that, he’s working on revamped signature products with The Shadow Conspiracy and Almond Footwear, as well as riding for underwear brands.
Ben’s web series “Getting Serious” is on episode two already, and it’s a good watch. Far from the typical web series, “Getting Serious” tracks Ben’s travels near and far, including a recent trip to Taiwan to check out how his signature frame is made.
Music: Majestico “Bright White Lady””
