It’s been awesome seeing some bigger BMX contests making a comeback after so many getting cancelled last year. The Ruhr Games went down over in Germany, and it looks like they had a big turn out from of some of Europes finest! Hit play to check out highlights from the mini ramp contest!

“Check out our highlights edit of the BMX Miniramp Contest @ Ruhr Games 2021 in Bochum (Germany), starring Dean Florian, Tom van den Bogaard, Evan Brandes, Sikharin Suparnmart and more.

After a corona-related forced break, the “Jams & Contests” section of freedombmxTV is slowly picking up speed again. As part of the Ruhr Games 2021, the first BMX contest of the year took place in Germany at the same time as the UCI BMX Freestyle World Championships in France. The fourth edition of Europe’s largest sports and culture festival for young people was held this year in front of 500 spectators: inside the Bochum Ruhrstadion and once again combined sports as diverse as beach volleyball, archery, boxing and BMX. Here are the highlights of the minramp contest with Dean Florian, Tom van den Bogaard, Evan Brandes, Tobias Freilang, Sikharin Supanmart and the like, who clearly showed how much fun it was for them to finally ride their bikes again after such a long period of abstinence and which went accordingly steep. Yeww!

UCI BMX Freestyle Park World Championships – Practice Highlights

Leave a Comment

This past weekend was the UCI BMX Freestyle Park World Championships in Montpellier, France. Here are two videos Freedom BMX put together from the Men’s and Women’s practice. The way everyone is riding, it’s hard to believe this was just practice! Everyone is going extra hard with little time to get their spot for the Olympics or to just make some moves up in the standings. Take a look!

“With the last spots for the Olympic Games being at stake, the UCI BMX Freestyle Park Worlds 2021 in Montpellier (France) are bound to go off. Here are some highlights from practice, starring Logan Martin, Daniel Sandoval, Brandon Loupos and many more.
PS: The guy doing a Double Flip at 0:30 is actually Istvan Caillet not Jacob Thiem. Sorry about that!” – Freedom BMX

“Here are some highlights from women’s practice at the UCI BMX Freestyle Park World Championships in beautiful Montpellier (France), starring Hannah Roberts, Perris Benegas, Charlotte Worthington and many more. Unfortunately Lara Lessmann went down hard on a 360 over the spine, separating her collarbone. We wish her a speedy recovery in time for the Olympic Games in Tokyo!” – Freedom BMX

Luis Berrocal – Costa Rican Tech Lord

Leave a Comment

We don’t see a ton of BMX videos coming out of Costa Rica, but when we do they’re always rad. Here’s a fresh one featuring Luis Berrocal going to work on street spots filled with technical lines and combos filled with grinds, jibs and more! Check out what he cooked up for clips!

“They don’t call him the Tech Lord for nuthin’! Check out Luis Berrocal getting his groove on in the streets of Costa Rica.

Much love to Street Culture Crew for hooking up the video. ” – Freedom BMX

Pro Walk – Session At The Megabikepark in Darmstadt

Leave a Comment

Freedom BMX put together this raw cut from a session that went down at the new Mega Bike Park in Darmstadt, Germany! This is a look at the whole place, along with some riding action. If you don’t speak German, there’s a good chance you won’t have a clue what they’re saying, but fortunately riding is a universal language. Watch as the crew explores this incredible new park! This place looks soooo good, with so many lines and things to ride!

“The new bike park in Darmstadt is awesome! We were there when Felix Prangenberg, Tobias Freilang, Dean Florian, Tom Schorb-Mergenthaler and Kim Lea Müller did the first test laps. And they had it all, because the ramps are almost all FISE calibers, in other words: they are very, very large.

But the park is not just for World Cup contenders: inside. In addition to the aforementioned mega-course, there is also a very fun concrete bowl as well as a jumpbox line, a resiline and a small street course. In short: The 1st Darmstadt Skate and BMX e. V. as well as concrete landscapes, Gedo Skateparks and Popular really did a great job. With such a great facility, the locals will surely soon get over the loss of their previous spot, i.e. the park on the city wall. You can see everything else in our video.

NOTE! Before you all set out for Darmstadt, here’s the bummer: Due to corona, the Bikepark Darmstadt can only be ridden by club members until further notice. As soon as the system is released to the general public, you will of course be the first to find out here on the site or on our social media channels. Until then, please keep your feet still. Thanks!

DSK – DIY BMX Sessions

Leave a Comment

The Dove Shit Kru have been putting in some work on a fun looking DIY spot over in Vienna. Here’s a fresh batch of footage showing us what’s been going down during the sessions from the rails, ledges, banks and more they setup.

“The DSK homies from Vienna spent at least part of their winter at their DIY spot, which apart from epic sunsets does not have too many highlights. Nevertheless, Valentin Moder, Aaron Theuretzbacher, Matteo Nemeth, Jakob Sommer and Kevin Wollek are rightly happy with their clip yield. Because they definitely got everything out of the really quite limited set-up. They apparently still had so many good moves and a lot of fun despite the sometimes frosty and short days. What more do you want? BMX is and will always be tight!

Colony – Marcel Gans Lost ‘N Found

Leave a Comment

Freedom BMX released this fresh edit featuring Colony‘s German connect Marcel Gans throwing down on a bunch of parks. This footage spans the past few years and is a real solid watch from start to finish. Marcel brings a good mix of tricks, speed and style to the table. Take a look!

“Marcel Gans’ motto in life is clearly visible on his helmet: Have fun, ride bikes! In addition, there should actually be another sticker with only one word on it: BALLERS! The German Colony driver is a fan of high speeds, which in turn entails a lot of airtime, as you can see in his new video. Alone the sentence about the hip in the bowl of the Cologne North Brigade at 1:58. Boy, boy, boy!

It doesn’t matter that most of the photos were taken three to four years ago, because good BMX riding is and will remain timeless. It is a pity, however, that some clips have been lost over time for various reasons. Well, VX Life is not always easy.

Fortunately, some of the material was saved and / or found. At this point, thanks go to David Schaller and Felix Prangenberg. But the best thing to do is take a look at the whole thing for yourself. We are definitely excited and are already looking forward to the next two video projects from Marcel, which should drop this year. YEWW!

Alliance BMX – Good Vibes, Bad Times

Leave a Comment

The past year has been rough, keeping a lot of us home to keep distance from everyone. The Alliance BMX guys kept themselves entertained with a few small ramps they built to keep things going. Chec out what they built and what they threw down!

“It has now been almost a year since we had a video of Christian Ziegler on our website in which his farm was presented. Today there is a round of supplies, because the barn of the said property has been very busy in the past few months. But the best thing to do is to let Christian’s partner aka Stefan “Magga” Marker have his say, who not only stands behind the counter at Alliance BMX, but also kindly passed us the great video above:” – Freedom BMX

“Christian made his barn available this winter to use it
we had a place to drive in the dark and cold season.
We usually met once a week to roll and / or build ramps together. Since there was only little space, the setup was changed every session to prevent boredom. There were really a lot of interesting obstacles that we tried out. Despite all the restrictions that existed due to well-known circumstances, it was one of the most intense BMX winters we’ve both had in a long time. We haven’t been together in so many sessions in a while
drove!“- Stefan Marker
