Hobie Doan In The Midwest

July 23, 2021

You know when you see Hobie Doan‘s name pop up, you’re going to see some dialed riding! Hobie recently spent some time in Michigan crushing spots, taking in the sights, riding dirt bikes and more! Hit play to check out 6 minutes of footage from his trip!

“The boi Hobie Doan split out to the Midwest to go stay with DIG’s Trent Lutzke for a week of hot heat, sick spots, bee-em-ex, and lols. Needless to say he produced the goods as always. Guest clips from Trent Lutzke, Grant Ueberroth, Jordy Kilpela, and Josh Carrasco.” – DIG

“I’ve lived in Michigan all my life. Born and raised in the mitten side of the state. This is the place that keeps on giving, the spots are endless/unique if you are willing to search for them and the scenery is hard to beat. But no matter how much I say I love this place; my opinion feels bias. Ever since THEMICHIGANVIDEO I have been hooked on BMX and bringing light to the place I grew up. This state has produced some amazing bike riders and amazing scenes. TMV was the first to prove that and now I feel it is my obligation to continue bringing love/light to this place we call home. Sure, the Midwest winters and random rainy shit storms producing floods and 90% humidity suck, but damn does mother nature bless us with some crusty, badass spots because of it. No crack will hold us back and in crust we trust. This environment changes the way you ride and is like nothing I have ever ridden before in my travels around the United States. The more north you go, the crustier it seems to get. Recently, I convinced Hobie that he needed to come experience it for himself. While my friends and I are currently finishing up filming for our 3 year long DVD project, ‘Program.”, I thought it would be fucking rad if Hobie could come out, restoke the boys, and take a trip around all of Michigan, which then turned into all of Michigan, parts of Wisconsin, and Illinois. Much of where the filming for ‘Program.’ takes place. This was a great way to get Hobie out of the Austin heat and a great time for us to really spend some time focusing on nothing but driving, riding and filming. Hobie never ceases to amaze me with how much he can produce in just one day’s time, so I knew I was going to be in for it when it came to pressing record. Unfortunately, much of his time here was spent with a bum wrist due to a slam on the first day and a rainstorm that nearly flooded us out of Chicago, on top of some van troubles, but that’s life and that’s bikes. Nonetheless, Hobie went in and our 2 weeks together flew by from all the fun we had. Enjoy watching Hobie Doan run these Midwest roads and keep an eye out for our DVD Program. Dropping August 14th, 2021. Also, shout the fuck out to DIG and Kink for helping fund our love for the road less traveled, along with Primo for getting Hobie out here. The amount of hype a video like this can bring to the young up and coming Midwest scenes is priceless and I am stoked that companies are down to get behind these ideas. BMX is more than what you see scrolling on your phone, I want kids to be stoked on the lifestyle, not just the likes and style.” – Trent Lutzke

Hobie Doan – Welcome to Sweets Mob

May 28, 2021

Hobie Doan is now riding for Sweets Kendamas! Here’s a short but sweet welcome video Bob Scerbo filmed to bring the news! As always, Hobie delivers with a ton of heat on everything he touches. Check it!

“We are here to proudly welcome Hobie Doan to the Sweets Mob. Hobie started jamming kendama a few years back and we saw him connect to the game immediately. Seeing footage of him teach kendama to others all around the world made him an obvious choice for the team. We knew he needed to become an official member of the family.

Reigning from Southern Oregon, USA, Hobie spent his life riding BMX and trying to level up in every way possible. His daily grind is more than admirable and constantly motivates us in the office to do the most.

We hope you enjoy this Bob Scerbo exclusive featuring clips collected on a recent Mob road trip. Look out for Bob’s full ‘Sweets Mob in the Swamp’ documentary later this month.

His Signature Model Drops Tomorrow @4 pm cst on sweetskendamas.com” – Sweets Kendamas

WHOOPS

May 6, 2021

Check out this new mix just shy of 12 minutes that Trent Lutzke produced over the past half year while road tripping. This has a lot of footage from Austin, Texas with plenty of heavy hitters that get some clips in this! Hit play and take it all in, because this is a real good watch!

“THIS HITS HARD! Trent Lutzke just got done with a 6 month journey to celebrate completing college and ‘Whoops’ is the result. Just under 12 minutes of hot heat with the likes of Hobie Doan, Brett Silva, Julian Arteaga, Curly Mayne, Jared Duncan, Keaton Harris and Trent. If this doesn’t get your heart going you’re already dead.” – DIG

“Much like most accidents, this video happened with ease and came to conclusion before we even knew we were making a video. I hit the road in my van this past December with my girlfriend and doggo, to start a 6 month long journey around the country, hitting and seeing places I have always wanted to ride. It was my way of celebrating a 5 year long up-hill college battle that I finally completed this past year. The top of my list for places I wanted to visit was Austin. I had never been to the massive state before this trip and Austin always seemed like an amazing place to ride bikes. When you grow up in the Midwest, places like Austin and LA get put on a pedestal in your mind. It’s amazing to think that there are places with so many spots and so little bad weather. From a young age, sneak watching day in the life videos in middle school computer class about dudes living in Austin, dreaming about getting out there someday to live that life; To saying, ‘fuck it’ and driving my van out there to ride whatever and sleep wherever. BMX is awesome in that way, it’s all about how you make it. Where you put yourself. The people you connect with. And making great friends/memories in the process. Julian, Jared and Hobie all took my girlfriend, dog, and I in like we were family. I can’t thank those guys enough for letting us post up for the month and for all the good times we had. I had never met any of these dudes before, except for Julian when I was really young, and I had no idea how it was going to go. This video was formed by instead of pulling out the phone, I pulled out the HMC and before we knew it, we had more footage than we knew what to do with. Whoops. Soon, Brett tagged in as well and a couple other homies, Keaton from Vegas and the infamous Curly Mayne. Every last one of these dudes feel like family now and this video was just my way of showing my appreciation for all the good ass times we had! I hope you enjoy, and I hope if this video does anything, it just gets you psyched to get up, get out and shred. You never know where the road could take you. Love you boys! Cheers!” – Trent Lutzke

Hobie Doan – Spot Crusher

January 4, 2021

You already know Hobie Doan is going to deliver when he goes out cruising spots. Here’s a raw cut of clips he filmed during a super productive day of riding while visiting Long Beach. Absolutely crushed it! Take a loo.

“Hobie Doan is a machine when it comes to filming—point him at a spot and he just goes to town. He rolled through Long Beach recently and fired out 5 clips at each spot he hit—clocking 15 clips in an afternoon. Must be nice!
