Ciao Crew – HELLINIKON

It’s pretty wild that the Olympics for 2020 have been postponed until 2021. What’s also wild is seeing what old Olympic venues look like after things finish up and the event moves on to the next city. The Ciao Crew decided to take advantage of the abandoned Olympic stadium in Athens, Greece that was built back in 2004 and see what they could find for spots to ride. It’s safe to say the place is loaded with gems to ride and these guys had no issue stacking clips. Hit play and take a look at what the got into!

“With the 2020 Olympic Games officially being postponed to 2021 we present to you HELLINIKON. While BMX Park will be an official part of the next Games being held in Tokyo, Japan Bruno Hoffmann, Kilian Roth and Mo Nussbaumer teamed up with filmer Rich Forne and photographer Merlin Czarnulla to put a different spin on things and decided to reinterpret an existing leftover of the Olympic circus – the olympic canoe track of 2004.
After lying deserted for over 15 years in the birthplace of the Olympic Games the decaying canoe track now offers tons of possibilities to ride and film a BMX video.

Getting the clips they desired turned out to be quite a challenge due to heavy security surveillance of the Olympic venue and resulted in a week long game of cat and mouse with the local security guards patrolling the premisses 24/7.
The riders & media crew made the best out of this tense situation by figuring out a way to still be productive while constantly being on the edge hiding from security. At times it felt more like a real-life hide and seek rather than a regular session with the homies but that made things quite interesting to say the least.

A huge shout out to Red Bull Germany for their support and making this project a reality.

There is an in-depth article about HELLINIKON over on the RedBull website!“- Ciao Crew

Happy Days In Mallorca

Leave a Comment

This time of year can be rough with the cold and and snow, so some of Germany’s finest took a trip to Mallorca, Spain to soak up the sun and spots. Freedom BMX dropped this rad edit featuring Felix Prangenberg, Bruno Hoffmann, Kilian Roth and Moritz Nussbaumer putting in work during their stay! This BMX video has a pretty chill vibe to it, but everything from the riding to the spots and film work are on point! Hit play and enjoy!

“Check out Felix Prangenberg, Bruno Hoffmann, Kilian Roth, and Moritz Nußbaumer killing it on Mallorca (Spain) during the first ever Our House trip.

Our House recently gave Felix Prangenberg, Bruno Hoffmann, Kilian Roth and Moritz Nußbaumer a long weekend in Mallorca. Here is our video of her four-day flying visit to the Germans’ favorite island, which is not only something for party tourists, but also has a lot of first-class street spots to offer. It goes without saying that under these circumstances and with this line-up a real board got around. But see for yourself. And if you only understand the train station at Our House, we have a few background information for you:

For more than 50 years, Deutsche Sporthilfe has been supporting federal athletes in Olympic sports, i.e. those athletes who represent Germany at the Olympic Games and other international competitions. However, since there are also many other athletes worthy of funding, the non-profit foundation launched a project a few months ago with Our House, through which the so-called informal sports receive support.

Informal sports are basically just another word for action or extreme sports such as BMX, parkours, wakeboarding etc. By “informal” it is meant that these sports have not yet been organized, or have only begun in clubs and associations. The goal of Deutsche Sporthilfe within the framework of Our House is to also support those athletes in these sports who are among the best in the world in their field, but whose focus is not primarily on medals in world title fights.

For this great project, Our House has brought Felix Prangenberg, Bruno Hoffmann, Kilian Roth and Moritz Nußbaumer on board at BMX, the top of the German BMX street scene. The trip to Malle was intended to get to know each other, further projects are to follow. We are excited to see what the future will bring. In any case, the start is very good!

Heavy Session At The New Vans Training Facility

Leave a Comment

Some of the Vans team caught a private session at the new Vans headquarters…

What happens when Dakota Roche, Bruno Hoffmann, Kilian Roth, Gary Young, Dan Lacey, Andrew Castaneda and Anthony Perrin get together for a session? Plenty of amazing riding and good times. The crew recently caught a session at the new training facility located inside the brand new Vans headquarters out in California. Here’s a raw cut of footage giving you a look at what went down!

“Vans moved the whole operation to Costa Mesa recently, and with that move came a lot of life improvements…the most epic of them being a little private ‘training facility’ that the employees and pro riders can call their own at any time of the day or night. Before the Vans Street Invitational kicked off, we organized a little (but insanely heavy) session with some of the Vans squad including Dakota Roche, Bruno Hoffmann, Kilian Roth, Gary Young, Dan Lacey, Andrew Castaneda, and Anthony Perrin.

Hope you enjoy the raw cut; finding cleared music that isn’t horrible, so I figured this was the best way to go. Besides, I think it tells the vibe of the session pretty well.

Want more? Leave a comment and we’ll hassle Vans to get some more people in there.

“The 2018 Vans Street Invitational went down today in a blaze of fury. Best trick was absolute chaos but Kilian Roth took it home with an unreal down-rail manny to 180. Top 3 finishers were Garrett Reynolds (1st), Felix Prangenberg (2nd) and Chad Kerley (3rd) who all held down highly technical and consistent runs. The progression of BMX is getting to of control!” – Ride BMX
