January 30, 2026

Check out the “Running With Scissors” video from the crew in Utah!

Here’s the latest gem from Jon Tinsley and crew out in Utah that have spent the past few years stacking clips for their new “Running With Scissors” video. Dialed riding, great spots and clean film work. You do NOT want to pass this one up!

“The Utah BMX scene has always been a staple in the BMX community. It’s nice to see a fresh take from videographer Jon Tinsley as he masterfully documents some heavy BMX riding in Running with Scissors. What started out as a loose project quickly turned into 3 years of stacking clips and memories with Utah’s best. Hit play and enjoy this instant Utah classic, Running with Scissors.

Featuring: Tristen Cooper, Elijah Prieto, and Ashton Talcott.

“We began filming a video in summer of 2023, thinking we would spend only 6 months making something short and not so serious. Unfortunately for those plans, the guys started stacking heavily. We were so proud of some of these clips, it felt as if committing to a bigger vision would be a better decision for the riding that was happening. The stacking persisted while an eventual project title and concept were shaped. We hope to make you proud!

I just want to take a moment to thank everyone involved for putting in the hard work and standing by the vision of this piece. I believe this was about as much of a passion project as one could perceive. With more life variables than each of us could anticipate, from shade chasing during blazing hot summers to frigid winter suffering, every angle of life from full-time work, prioritizing our families, to unforeseen circumstances that required time and attention, we made it happen. All of this patience and hard work to create something greater than our individual selves results in a piece we can look back on with appreciation and esteem. We couldn’t have made this video without every single person in the crew showing up with energy, positivity, and unconditional support for each other.” – Jon Tinsley

Utahpia – BMX Trails Meditation

September 30, 2023

The trails riders out there are gonna love this new one from Utah!

If you’re looking for some good old fashioned dirt goodness, this new one that Jon Tinsley put together from some of the trails sessions going down in Utah this past summer and fall. This has a real laid back vibe with great riding and super clean film work, along with plenty of relaxing building footage that we know some of you are going to love. Take a look!

“Building trails is truly an art form, Building a good set of trails takes time, effort, and more importantly love for the craft. As the trail season closes out for Jon Tinsley’s local trails, he took the opportunity to get some early morning sessions in with Chris Flook, Kurt Perkins, Nick Mondella, and Cody Gessel. Hit play and catch some moments of zen in UTAHPIA” – Our BMX

“As hot summer days begin fade and seasonal storms ramp up, we’re quickly reminded how fleeting the riding season can be. Utahpia is an ode to the hidden art of trail building, and serves a reminder of how early mornings at the trails can often feel quite mystical.
Not long from now, tarps will be set for the winter and we’ll be wishing it was summer once again.” – Jon Tinsley

Bloom – Jon Tinsley

August 3, 2020

There’s something about a BMX video with super clean filming and editing that makes for a really good watch. Jon Tinsley is normally on the other side of the camera, but he can ride really good as well. Here’s a look at a fresh batch of footage of Jon cruising spots with his jibby style on a ton of different spots. Add in some great film work and you have a BMX video you won’t want to pass up.

“You would have no doubt seen a bunch of Jon Tinsley’s fabulous video work up to this point, but now we get a dose of him in front of the camera. Jon has an awesome mix of pegless creativity and really sick backwards manual / fastplant variations on display. Really enjoyed this!
