Subrosa In Color

April 2, 2018

Subrosa’s old filmer, Bobby Kanode, decided to release a video that might not have ever seen the light of day…

Anyone who has taken filming BMX serious has always dreamed of being paid to film for a brand or a video project. Bobby Kanode spent 3 years as the team filmer for Subrosa, which meant he spent his days traveling all over the place with the team filming for web videos, full-length videos and more. During his time he stacked a lot of clips, some were used, others weren’t and were just sitting on his hard drive waiting to be seen. The time has finally come, because Bobby has gone through and edited the clips into this full-length video that’s loaded with pure gold featuring their team riders, past and present, during that time frame. When Subrosa first started out, they did a lot of their projects in black and white, so that’s where the title comes from. Get the full story from Bobby below!

“From 2013 to 2016 I had the opportunity of a lifetime to be the filmer for Subrosa Brand. When it was all over I was left with a hard drive full of good times, and last year I chopped this video up to “clean out my closet.” I can’t say enough good things about all the boys, and I had the time of my life. This is kind of the DVD that never happened. Big thank you to Ronnie Bonner and Ryan Sher for having me for those years, and bigger shout out to the best team in BMX.

We’ve got a lot of recycled clips in here but they’re in color now, as well as brand new (yet still old) never seen section from Johnny (no longer on Subrosa) and a stacked friends section. Pretty hyped!

Love you guys, enjoy.

Monster – The Ramp II: Alex Donnachie and Kevin Kalkoff

December 21, 2017

The final video from “The Ramp” series has arrived and Alex Donnachie and Kevin Kalkoff put it to work!

It’s been a while since Monster Energy has released a “The Ramp” video, so we were pretty surprised to see this video being released. We’re not quite sure why the video has been sitting for over a year, but that’s okay since Alex Donnachie and Kevin Kalkoff absolute CRUSHED IT! Get on that play button and enjoy this!

““The Ramp” finale…finally. Shot in the middle of 2016, various obstacles and periods of nothingness have let this video sleep dormant for far too long. But, I think it shows how timeless The Ramp can be, as the riding from Kevin and Alex still stand up to the level of riding today. I know it’s only been a year and a half, but progression happens fast these days.

Sit back, relax, and watch as Monster’s Alex Donnachie and Kevin Kalkoff put the final touches to this project.” – Monster Energy

Monster Energy – Kevin Kalkoff: ESTHÉTIQUE

June 21, 2017

Now this is what we’re talking about! Monster Energy just released Kevin Kalkoff‘s new ESTHÉTIQUE where he teamed up with filmer Rich Forne to bring his speed and style to some unique spots! This video requires no music and is nothing short of a Must See! Enjoy!

“Sometimes, BMX is more about the set up/spot and how you ride it rather than the amount of tricks that get done. Monster Energy BMX rider Kevin Kalkoff lives by that rule and brings you ‘ESTHÉTIQUE’ as a perfect example that’s its not what you do but how you do it.

Sit back and enjoy raw and real BMX riding from one of the most stylish in the game.”

Greg Illingworth – Vans BMX Pro Cup Malaga Practice POV

May 2, 2017

As you probably have heard by now, the second round of the Vans BMX Pro Cup is going down in Malaga, Spain this weekend at Ruben Alcantara‘s skatepark. There are a whole bunch of Pro’s who have been making their way to Malaga a few days early to get some practice in. Greg Illingworth is one of those guys! Here’s a short but sweet, raw, GoPro POV video he put together from a hot lap he got in with Kevin Kalkoff. If you haven’t had the chance to ride this skatepark yet, this video will give you a good idea of what it’s like to ride the bowl and will probably leave you wishing you were there to ride it! Take a peek!

Shadow Conspiracy X Subrosa World Tour: France

March 7, 2017

The Shadow Conspiracy and Subrosa World Tour continues. This time around we get a look at what the guys got into during their trip to France this past summer. Hit play to check out a ton of excellent footage from skatepark and street sessions, shop visits and more! Looks like it was another real good time. We’re pumped on the amount of Ryan Sher footage in this!

“The Shadow and Subrosa World Tour keeps on trucking as the team moves to the beautiful French countryside visiting Basel, Nancy, and Strasbourg.

Featuring shredding from Shadow and Subrosa riders Simone Barraco, Joris Coulomb, Mark Burnett, Matt Ray, and French killers Kevin Kalkoff and Nico Badet, the crew explored what France had to offer.

A huge thank you goes out to Trendsport Basel, Stride Indoor Park, all the Nancy locals, and especially Sparkys France for inviting us in to your incredible country and shredding with the team. We hope to see you all again very soon!

February 22, 2017

The crew over at The Shadow Conspiracy caught up with their French connect Kevin Kalkoff to take a closer look at his current Subrosa Noster III setup that he’s running decked out with Shadow Conspiracy and Subrosa parts from top to bottom. We don’t know about you, but we’re really digging the blue and black combo. Kevin’s new signature Moto-Blue Colorway looks awesome. You can check out the Bike Check over on The Shadow Conspiracy website. Take a closer look at the bike here — Kevin Kalkoff Bike Check

Blind Trip – Kevin Kalkoff & Thomas Benedetti In Croatia

November 16, 2016

This is a pretty cool concept. DIG and Soul teamed up for a unique trip they sent Kevin Kalkoff and Thomas Benedetti on. Neither ride knew where they were going, but found out they were on the way to Croatia once they got to the airport. Here’s a video giving you a look at what both of these guys stacked for clips during their visit! Although they had no time to plan and possibly scope out some spots early, they didn’t appear to have any trouble coming across spots!

“We’re always proud to support likeminded BMX media people out there so we’re more than happy to announce long time Gallic print bothers Soul as our official DIG media partner for France. Check out our first collaborative release with them below and be sure to go and check out their all new online direction at http://soulbmxmag.com

There’ll be lots of DIG X SOUL projects to come but meantime check out what their editor Ben Bello had to say about the first ever Soul Blind Trip in conjunction with Monster Energy.

“It’s one of those idea that makes you smile when you come up with it, but also one of those idea that complicates your life because you will never give up on making it a reality. The idea was simple and challenging: take a rider on a trip to a city never knowingly visited by Pro riders, and announce the destination when we bring the rider to the airport; just for the pleasure of seeing his face when he learns the news. We chose France’s Kevin Kalkoff (Vans) for this first episode, told him he was going on trip, and gave him nothing more than the date. To add some brotherhood we also invited his brother Thomas Benedetti (Haro/eclat)to surprise him by joining the tour. Both discovered their destination to be SPLIT, in Croatia, a beautiful city on the Adriatic coast with many spots in the surroundings.” – Ben Bello / http://soulbmxmag.com/
