Ryan Sher – Long Story Short

September 28, 2015

DIG released their latest “Long Story Short” featuring Ryan Sher who talks about how he got into BMX, bouncing around, riding for Kink and then becoming brand manager of Subrosa and his roles. Take a peek!

“Since around the turn of the millennium Ryan Sher was a regular and welcome fixture of seemingly all BMX media coverage. Wether it was from early Kink Trips, Props Megatours, various magazine covers (everyones remembers his Ride US coverage of the curved wall-ride right?) or endless shots on our own pages of DIG dating back to his first UK visits at the old Bike Shows and Backyard Jams, and leading onto his first Euro trips with his then new company, Subrosa. Then, after 10 years of so it felt like the coverage just stopped almost overnight as Ryan took a major step back from being a Pro rider to concentrate as his new found BMX industry duties.

For episode 2 of our DIG ‘Long Story Short’ Series we caught up with Ryan to learn a little more about his early history within BMX, the story behind ‘that’ wall-ride and why he made the switch from full-time rider to full time brand manager. Enjoy.

Kink BMX – One Hit: Ben Basford

September 11, 2015

Kink sent through this short, but VERY sweet clip of Ben Basford putting together a super good line during a session in ATX. You got time to check this 40 second long BMX video out, so hit play!

“During Ben Basfords first trip to the states, we had to take him to some of the classics in Austin, TX. Normally these spots are nothing to serious, just a good sesh…but we had to pull out the camera when Basford casually decided to link this combo together. Too clean from one of the UK’s finest, and severely underrated dudes.
