Focalpoint had a bunch of leftover footage from their 2014 Flem Banks Jam video that they decided to put together a raw edit so the footage doesn’t go to waste! Despite these being leftovers, there is a lot of real good clips in this!
Focalpoint – 2014 Flembanks Jam

Focalpoint – Daniel Johnson “What” Section
Cooper Brownlee just hit us with a link to Daniel Johnson’s section from the Focalpoint “What” video that dropped back in 2006! This is crazy to think this footage is 8 years old already. Daniel crushes it as always and puts those pegs to heavy use. Good memories seeing that Sunday frame from way back, haha!
Focalpoint – Sam Tormey F#ck Cancer
It always sucks seeing a younger rider going through something as rough as cancer, but it’s good to see that BMX still keeps them happy and motivated despite not having the best cards dealt. Cooper Brownlee caught up with Sam Tormey who is going through treatment right now and was able to film some clips for this short but sweet edit. Definitely want everyone to send Sam good vibes so he can keep the sessions going for years to come!
“Every now and then you come across someone that really puts life into perspective. Sam Tormey is 16 and is dealing with cancer. This is not something anyone should have to deal with, let alone a 16 year old kid. Last week Sam came out with Polly and I, and we rode a few parks for the day. He hit me up to film a few things and this is what came of it. The strength and positive outlook this kid has on life is an inspiration and something anyone can feed off. We all have problems in our lives but the day-to-day drama really gets pushed aside when you meet a person like Sam. The fact that BMX gives him motivation and enjoyment during the shit he is going through is just another testament to how good this lifestyle is…
FUCK CANCER.” – Focalpoint
Focalpoint – The Verve Footwear Interview
Focalpoint caught up with Mickey Soole, who is starting up Verve Footwear down in Australia. We haven’t seen a lot about the brand just yet, but it looks like they’re off to a real good start! Check out the video interview above to learn a little more about the brand and team then check out a few photos of the product right here! Expect more on Verve in the future!
“For the past year or so, Mickey Soole has been busy working on something amazing that we are all so exited about: the very first Australian BMX shoe company: Verve Footwear.
We decided to sit down with Mickey (owner and founder) to talk about this crazy project that is about to become reality.

Focalpoint – “What” Flagz & Mix Section
Check out the Chris “Flagz” Matthews and mix section from the Focalpoint DVD “What” that came out back in 2006! There’s a ton of gold in these so make sure you watch both!
Focalpoint – Intro & Cooper Brownlee “WHAT” Sections
Although we’ve never seen the “WHAT” video from Focalpoint, we’re really stoked the sections from the video are coming online for people to enjoy. It’s crazy to think that this video is already 8 years old and just seeing how much has changed (or not changed) since. I’m a big fan of Cooper Brownlee so seeing this section was awesome because he’s hands down one of the hardest working dudes down in Australia and has been killing it all along the way! Check out the Intro above and Cooper’s section below. There’s plenty more to come too!
“So I’ve started uploading all the sections from previous FP dvd’s. The first dvd we produced under the Focalpoint name was titled “WHAT” which came from the excitement everyone would create after someone pulled a trick. This video came out in 2006 but I have very good memories from these years so uploading them for everyone else to see or reminise on should be entertaining. Even if it’s just to laugh at the changing of times then it was worth it. I will upload a couple sections every few days in order of appearance. First being the intro and my section which feels weird to do but fuck it, I want to laugh at myself too and remember some of the moves I use to do. Oh yeah and of course small bars, chain wallets and terrible hop 360′s. Enjoy…” – Cooper Brownlee
