Subrosa Quaranteam Mix Vol. 2

July 21, 2020

The quarantines around the world continue and that has put a damper on the team trips we usually see going down over the summer months, but that hasn’t kept the Subrosa team from getting in sessions out in the streets and at a bunch of parks. Here’s another Quaranteam mix filled with clips from the team! Just under 4 minutes of real solid riding to enjoy in this one!

“Actual lockdowns are lifting, but it’s still best to stay clear of people and reduce unnecessary travel, so trips with our team riders are still on hold for now. The good thing is that the team is still shredding and riding street and parks that are open in their areas.

We asked the guys to grab some clips for us that we can put together for a mixtape called Quaranteam and here’s Vol: 2.

Check out Subrosa riders Simone Barraco, Joris Coulomb, Mark Burnett, Rim Nakamura, Lewis Colascione, Louis Otto, Juani Zurita, Bjarki Hardarson, Daichi Teshigahara, Mo Nussbaumer, Miguel Smajli, Emile Bouwman, and Janis Bauska!

Filmed by Levi van Rijn, Kareehm Richardson, Raimonds Petersons, Arturs Lurins, and many more!

Janis Bauska – Jelgava Town Local

October 9, 2019

There’s no place like home! Par BMX dropped this new edit featuring Janis Bauska cruising his local park in the town of Jelgava, Latvia. Janis learned how to cruise at this park, so you can imagine he has the place all figured out, which leads to some great riding. We almost forgot how stylish Janis’ riding is, but this video definitely reminded us! Check it out!

“Janis Bauska and his long time friend Arturs Lurins, who also happens to be a devoted filmer, session their local hometown skatepark on one of the last warm days of summer. Both dudes live in the capital of Latvia, Riga. That makes each visit to their hometown of Jelgava a special one. With Janis riding and Arturs behind the lense, you are sure in for a treat.” – Par BMX

Par BMX – Janis Bauska BCN Vacation 2019

March 28, 2019

When it’s cold and shitty out, you can’t go wrong with a trip to Barcelona, Spain to spend some time cruising spots and soaking up the sunshine. Par BMX dropped this new one from a trip to BCN that Janis Bauska filmed during a recent trip this past winter. Hit play to check out what Janis got into while out cruising on his bike. This has a pretty laid back vibe, but the riding is real solid!

“Janis started the year with a quick week long vacation in the European capital of street riding – Barcelona, Spain. Accompanied by his good friend and filmmaker Arturs Lurins, the outcome of the trip was a no-brainer. Press play and witness some Janis Bauska steeze in the streets of BCN.

Par BMX – “Still Untitled” Full Team Video

March 7, 2019

Sometimes coming up with the name is harder than putting in the work for a video. Here’s a look at the new “Still Untitled” video featuring the Par BMX team out slaying spots in the Baltics! This is stacked with a ton of familiar faces that all produced some amazing riding. Add in some real clean film work and you have just under 16 minutes of footage you can’t pass up!

Par BMX – Janis Bauska & Marek Kuhalskis at Kuldiga Skatepark

June 8, 2018

Janis Bauska and Marek Kuhalskis take advantage of the nice weather over in Latvia!

You can’t go wrong with the summer sessions at the local park. Here’s a new one that Par BMX uploaded from a productive session Janis Bauska and Marek Kuhalskis got in during a session at the Kuldiga Skatepark on a sunny day. This is pretty laid back, but the guys produced some great clips.

Par BMX – Janis Bauska Hidden Under Cover

April 27, 2018

Janis Bauska gets down at the DIY park in Riga, Latvia…

The crew at Par BMX over in Latvia just uploaded this fresh one featuring Janis Bauska getting some winter sessions at the DIY indoor park in Riga. This has a pretty chill vibe to it, but Janis puts his pegs to good use and cooks up some real solid lines. Take a look!

“Janis Bauska is the perfect example of a heavily underrated rider. He is often labeled as one to stick with bumps and jibs, but that is not all there is to his riding. The truth is Janis can go big, get tech and flow transition – he can do it all! Before spring and warm weather graced us here in the Baltics, he managed to shut down his favorite winter escape – a DIY skatepark in Riga. JIB BIG!

Many thanks to the Gtiim skatepark for the after hour sessions.

Par BMX – Karlis Leitis & Janis Bauska at Monsterparks

February 19, 2018

Monsterparks in Latvia got a remodel and Karlis Leitis and Janis Bauska were just the guys they needed to test it out!

Here’s a fresh one Par BMX dropped featuring Karlis Leitis and Janis Bauska getting some riding time in at the newly remodeled Monsterparks park over in Latvia! This raw cut shows both of these guys putting the street section to good use with both guys putting the rails, ledges, banks and quarterpipes to good use. Take a peek!

“Karlis & Janis testing out the newly built street section at the new Monsterparks indoor action sports center in Riga, Latvia. There’s a first time for everything.“

Monsterparks Has Closed Down

January 10, 2018

Another amazing skatepark has closed its doors! Monsterparks in Latvia has been closed down!

At the start of the year Scotty Cranmer’s park The Incline Club closed down, and now it looks like Monsterparks in Latvia has also shut down! Fortunately with both closures, there is a plan of re-opening something new for both of the parks. The Par BMX crew made their way to Monsterparks to get a few final sessions in before the park closed, and it looks like they were all really productive sessions! Here’s a video they cooked up with clips they filmed before the doors were locked and the ramps were torn down.

It sounds like it won’t be long before we find out what’s coming next, so we’ll keep you posted as soon as we hear more!

“Our local indoor skatepark “Monsterparks” IS DEAD!!! No worries, it will reincarnate itself in a new and better location pretty soon. Meanwhile check out these clips we managed to stack before the skatepark was torn down.

Featuring Ed Zunda, Janis Cunculis, Marek Kuhalskis, Karlis Leitis, Aivars Justovics and Janis Bauska!

There’s also some quick throwback footage with Kristaps Reimanis & Tomass Grinbergs
