One Hitter – Sydney Pools

May 31, 2018

Corey Walsh, Trent Rowsell, Joel Ruggerio and Matt Cordova cruise a Sydney pool!

Here’s a fresh one John Young put together from a pool session that went down the other week in Sydney. Check out what Corey Walsh, Trent Rowsell, Joel Ruggerio and Matt Cordova got into during their time figuring out the lines and having a good time. This video has a real chill, laidback vibe.

“Sydney pool king Trent Rowsell showed Corey Walsh Matt Cordova and west coast pool king Joel Ruggerio around to a few gems while the Vans Pro Cup had taken over Five Dock. We only had about half an hour in the second one before we go the boot.

“F*ck I’m Thirsty” A Brisbane Trip

December 26, 2015

It has been a while since John Young has released a new BMX video, but damn are we stoked to see this pop up today! Check out this video John put together from a trip to Brisbane he took with a couple of familiar faces recently where they tamed snakes, caught sessions at skateparks, cruised street spots and had a good time! This is a great watch from start to finish (minus the big NOPE on the snake at the beginning). Hit play!

“Last September a bunch of us took a week off and headed up to Brisbane to stay at Cody, Damo & Wilton’s place and sample some local treats. Fun was had, sponsors lost and no fucks were given. This video is for everyone that’s in it, and anyone that enjoys it.

Here’s one I spotted over on Focalpoint. This video John Young put together from the Nah Your Rite Mate crew might be over a year old, but it was just uploaded online. Check out a bunch of the crew getting some time in cliff diving and cruising the park along Bondi Beach! Looks like it was a good time!

Video Recap: 9/10 – 9/16

September 16, 2012

This past week was what we would call a good week for web videos. Going through all of the videos, it was hard to narrow it down since each page of the Daily Section brought more videos that turned out good as hell. This week there are 16 videos that turned out so good that I wanted to make sure you saw them or remembered you wanted to see it again. Let’s get into this hot mess of goodness.

Tempered – Benn Pigot Datura Bars Promo

September 14, 2012

Not sure why this one took two months to be unlocked on Vimeo, but I’m glad it is. Check out Benn Pigot killing it for Tempered!

“Just a few clips of Benn from before he broke his wrist, then he was riding again then injured his back now he’s riding again so this is pretty damn old and wasn’t released for reasons unbeknown to me.
(editors note- Benn: “Fucking finally! So sorry this took so long guys”)
Filming is in progress for the Backbone DVD.

Slay The Rail 2012 Video

September 13, 2012

Slay the Rail 2012 from John Young on Vimeo.

I’ve been waiting for this one pretty patiently for a minute now. Ever year for the last 3 years, 2020 BMX Magazine has thrown the Slay The Rail contest which is essentially a rail jam at a bar. It’s pretty epic and each year it just gets bigger and better. This year around you could find Brock Olive, Nick Kajewski, Daniel Johnson, Marnold, Sam Illman, Matt Spencer, Mikey McMah, Jay Wilson, Chris Whyte, Jamie Mauri, Calvin Kosovich, Josh Druce, Liam Zingbergs, Dullah Djawas, Jack Elkins and Jack Kelly all throwing down and things got wild. Check out the video above to see for yourself!

I’m also stoked to see the end that they mention they are doing another event here next month that will be bigger and wilder! Hell yes.

“Slay the Rail has become somewhat of a legend amongst comps/jams, well in my biased opinion anyway. And this years was no exception, the event going off in a big way. 24 riders went head to head in one of Melbourne’s most notorious clubs. Brock Olive schooled the assembled crew to take the win and best trick with Matt “Tenna” Spencer coming in close behind after some of the most brutal slams of the night. Good times, BMX and good crew, what more could you want! We’ve got a feature in the upcoming 2020 issue 45 and will drop a little extra gallery on this post soon. Thanks to all involved, it’s been an epic three years. And a massive thanks to John Young for the slick edit. Yeeeeew!”
