Well, this is a bit of a bitter sweet post! Timmo Haapalainen over at Honey BMX let us know that this video of Miika Rahkonen tearing up trails and ramps is the last for Honey BMX! Based off this video, the quality, the riding, everything really… It’ll be a bummer to see it go! They will keep their Vimeo channel up for people to enjoy all the past videos at least! Check this out!
Honey BMX – Timmo Haapalainen 2014 Video
Always good seeing a filmer get some time in front of the lens! We’ve seen a ton of videos from Timmo Haapalainen for Honey BMX the past few years, but this is the first full edit from him we’ve seen in quite a while. Check out Timmo putting together some real solid riding on street spots over in Finland!
“Timmo is one of my long time friends and i was more than stoked when he asked me to do a edit for him last spring.
We started this project early spring and finished on September so its like 4 months of cruising streets and filming this 30years old man.
Timmo is a bmx filmer / editor too and our ways to think about a bmx edit are very different so there was a couple times that i just wanted to punch him into face and say that this aint like filming a fucking Titanic (I actually said that later) but we definitely had the best time filming for this and i would definitely do it again.

Honey BMX – Toni Aallos
The guys over at Honey BMX dropped this new Toni Aallos edit in our inbox to check out this morning and we were more than stoked on it! Toni comes through with some real good lines where he puts his freecoaster to good use and there are a bunch of unique spots! Always good to see what’s going on in Finland! Take a peek!
“Here we have Mr. Toni Aallos being beautiful and riding a bunch of new and unseen spots in three different cities in Southern Finland.
Good summer vibes and I have to say that it was a big surprise for me Toni didn’t hurt himself while filming this.
He is a walking one man disaster.”
Honey BMX – New Old Edit
Although these clips are 7 or 8 months old, the guys at Honey BMX figured they couldn’t go to waste! So they dropped this new edit filled with these old clips for you to enjoy! Hit that play button!
Honey BMX – Rome
Here’s a fresh one from Honey BMX that might raise some questions…. Last winter during the Simple Session, Timmo Haapalainen and his girlfriend decided to go to Rome for a few days to check out the spots and film for this video! Now, based off all of this it looks like Rome has a lot to offer. What I can’t figure out is that he didn’t see a single rider, skateboarder… or even a scooter!?
“Still I didn’t see any other bmx rider or skater there. Not even a single scooter kid. All the ledges were clean from wax and there were no tire marks anywhere.”
Is Rome some sort of untapped spot that nobody thinks of going to? Read a little more about this video right here, then book your flights!
Honey BMX – 8 Hours
After a bit of a hiatus, the Honey BMX guys are back. Check out this fresh new edit they dropped featuring Niko Ihander putting in 8 solid hours to make for one edit worth a look!
“It features Mr. Niko Ihander, 23 year old madman who began riding bmx over ten years ago. Unfortunately, due to some injuries and surgeries he hasn’t been able to ride much during the last two years… until the summer ’13!
Well now he is back in action and hopefully stays in the picture too because I definitely want to see more riding from him in the near future. And I do know I’m not alone with this wish. Niko is also one of the many riders in Simpel Session 2014 and according to his words “I always want to get higher”, Saku Suurhall is going to be the place to do that.
This is not typical “smith manual feeble 180 out and barspin” street/park edit. This is something different. To be honest, Mikko did a damn good job at the edit and post production. And this time we didn’t shoot this together like we usually do. 2nd cameraman was Mr. Aaro Visala, mastermind behind the Karu Creative group. I strongly suggest to check out his work too!
And when it comes to riding, Niko did it all in 8hrs.” -Timmo
Honey BMX – Morning Session
Can’t go wrong with a productive morning on two. The Honey BMX guys made it to the park early two days in a row and ended up with this edit. Take a look!
“Two quick morning sessions before going to work turned into an edit. I didn’t have any plans to ride for a camera but Jesse from dmg.fi said he could be the man behind the camera.
It was the best possible time to shoot some clips anyway, there are no kids at the skatepark at 08am.“
Honey BMX – Nightshift
The guys over at Honey BMX sent over their latest edit of the crew getting some late night sessions in at their local park. Definitely a ton of real solid riding in this one, so take a peek! You’ll enjoy the vibe of this one too I’m sure.
