VANS “MASH” – TRANSITION

Leave a Comment

Now this is how you start the weekend off right! Vans dropped this brand new “MASH” mix that is over 4 minutes of transitions and trails from their squad in Europe! Sergio Layos, Paul Thoelen, Greg Illingworth, Tom Van Den Bogaard and Teresa Fernandez ALWAYS deliver, so you know this is an absolute MUST SEE. Hit play now!

“We’ve got a really sick two part mixtape series for you courtesy of the VANS squad! Since all their team projects had to be cancelled due to covid, their riders wanted to be active and do their part as soon as they were allowed to go out and be safe again. But with very limited travel options, they all kept it local in their region (or wherever was allowed) and asked their homies to press on that red button. Rich Forne then took the footage and created two heavy mixtape MASH videos. First up is MASH Transition; with Sergio Layos, Paul Thoelen, Greg Illingworth, Tom Van Den Bogaard and Teresa Fernandez.

Look out for the street mixtape next Friday right here on DIG!” – DIG

Greg Illingworth VS Shopping Cart

Leave a Comment

It’s funny how adding something that you usually don’t find at a park can make for a fun session. Greg Illingworth came across a shopping cart and decided to use it for some different setups around his local park to ride. Hit play to check out what he cooked up for clips! Short and sweet!

“BMX Is the best. I was annoyed at first to find so much mess up at the park this morning. Then I tidied up a little and used part of the mess for a session. Shopping trolleys are a common find on a Sunday morning up at Hastings skatepark! This time no one else was around, so moved it about and had a session.” – Greg Illingworth

Mongoose – Greg Illingworth “The Woods”

Leave a Comment

We’re always stoked to check out a new Greg Illingworth video! The crew at Mongoose released this new one of Greg unleashing his style in the woods. Hit play for 2 minutes of trails goodness rom Greg and a few friends!

“The Woods have been my sanctuary during this year of uncertainty and restrictions. It’s a place where I can create lines and constantly improve on them. It’s somewhere I can connect with nature, feed my soul and push my body. There’s nothing better than getting to the end of a run where my bike, body, trails and the surroundings have felt like one connected organism. That’s the feeling I strive for whenever I’m heading in to the woods but any day in the woods is a good day really.” – Greg Illingworth

The Mongoose Heritage Series continues! This time around they follow Greg Illingworth from Hastings, England to where he’s originally from, South Africa, giving us a look at riding, what he’s doing off his bike and more.

Before his career took off, Greg had to make a difficult choice to leave his beautiful home country of South Africa to make his dream happen. In this episode, we get to follow Greg around his current residence of Hastings, UK, and also get a glimpse of what it was like to grow up in South Africa and go back there to ride. This is a super good watch, so hit play and take it all in!

The Mongoose ‘Heritage’ series is an intimate look behind the scenes into what makes our riders tick, the story of how they got here, and insight into their lives off the bike. We caught up with Greg in his Hastings home as well as taking a trip to his home country, South Africa and got a real peak into what it’s like to be Greg. This is the fifth film in our new series, produced by Human Creative / @HMNcreative” – Mongoose BMX

Now this is what’s up! A heavy hitting crew took a trip to South Africa to explore the spots, take in the sights and absolutely crush everything they came across from street spots and ditches to cement parks and more. Here’s a look at what they got into with a ton of dialed clips, and plenty of laughs and good times along the way. If you like speed and style, this is the BMX video for you.

“An absolutely stacked squad of Greg Illingworth, Boyd Hilder, Dan Lacey, Murray Loubser, Jason Watts, and Corey Walsh trip around South Africa, riding some of the best ditches, pools and street spots in the world! The vibe on this trip was incredible and the video captures the true energy and beauty of South Africa and the crew.

Thanks to Monster Energy and Vans for supporting this trip (always support the brands that support the lifestyle you enjoy). Greg Illingworth for organizing all of it and inviting us along, Andrew Knight for being down to go to SA for us and filming this epic vid for us.” – Our BMX
