February 26, 2024

BSD dropped a new Hector Spencer-Wood video!

You can’t go wrong with having style on A BMX bike. There’s something about it that doesn’t get old, and Hector Spencer-Wood is clear proof of that. Here’s a look at his latest video for BSD where he gets it done right on a few different parks and a DIY spot.

“Just like the Vans on Hector’s feet or the denim on his back, riding like this just never goes out of fashion.

Style for miles at Saughton, KG, East Kilbride, Cowdenbeath and Livingston skateparks and Glasgow’s Arches DIY. This is Hector Spencer-Wood, ‘Timeless’… Enjoy!

BSD – Hector SW “That Wallride”

March 2, 2023

BSD dropped a new Hector Spencer-Wood video to enjoy!

BSD coming through with a fresh one featuring Hector Spencer-Wood bringing the speed, style and boost to a bunch of parks over in the U.K for your viewing pleasure! This one is a damn good watch from start to finish, so get on that play button right now!

“The wallride gap in the Unit 23 bowl has been something that’s been talked about for years but, due to its huge size and how difficult it is to get enough speed, it always seemed just out of reach.

However, BSD’s quantum physics PhD student Hector Spencer-Wood calculated it was possible and over the last three years made several attempts. That was until June 2022 when he finally pulled it…

BSD – Sureshot Frame Promo

September 22, 2021

BSD have released their new Sureshot frame! Here’s a short but sweet promo video featuring Hector Spencer Wood putting the frame to good use on some transitions! Dialed riding and clean film work. Take a peek!

“Hector Spencer-Wood gives us a taste of what the BSD Sureshot frame is all about, built for high speed roasting! ’cause you can’t, you won’t, and you don’t stop…

The Sureshot is designed with a more ramp/park/trails geometry than our other frames. Utilizing a low BB, longer rear end, mellower head angle and removable brake lugs, this frame is a true all rounder.” – BSD

Loading Bay x DIG – Modularity

January 21, 2021

DIG teamed up with the The Loading Bay park over in Glasgow to design and build a modular street course at the park, and the dropped some of Scotland’s finest on the place to throw down. Here’s a look at the setup they built, and a ton of great riding from the crew!

“Like most of the world right now, our local city of Glasgow has seen a seemingly constant stream of changing coronavirus restrictions in the latter half of 2020. And, for three weeks in late November, restrictions stopped Glasgow’s indoor skatepark ‘The Loading Bay’ from trading altogether. Never missing out on an opportunity, we decided to team up with them for a build-and-ride video project whilst their doors were closed. This is Modularity.

Featuring Sean McGilly / Jensen Murray, Alex Donnachie / Joe Foley, Hector Spencer-Wood / Rory McLean, and Guy Scroggie / Dan Banks.

BSD’s Hector Spencer-Wood spends some time cruising spots around Warsaw…

The crew over at Hash BMX just uploaded this fresh one featuring Hector Spencer-Wood cruising skateparks and spots around Warsaw, Poland. It’s pretty amazing how many interesting and fun looking parts that there are in Warsaw, and it’s safe to say Hector put them to good use. This BMX video has a pretty light, good vibe, making for a great watch from start to finish. Take a peek!

“Since a few years it’s very rare to see any foreign riders visiting Poland so it was nice to catch up with Hector during his stay in Warsaw.
We took few days to cruise around Poland’s capitol and see what it could offer. Trust me when I say that we got spots, real good spots!

Enjoy that piece of stylish flexin and come visit Warsaw!
See you soon Hector ✌

Austin, Texas

February 3, 2014

Here’s a pretty raw look into a week in the life of Austin, Texas that Hector Spencer-Wood and his buddy Jack spent during their trip recently. This is all iPhone footage so it’s a little rough around the edges, but it looks like it was a good time from the trails to the parks, street spots and everything else they got into!

“Jack’s camera broke on the last week of the trip, so we tried to capture as much as possible on iPhones during the last week. Hence the lack of spots and cool sights.
Austin is the best place on earth.” – Hector Spencer-Wood
