Kink – One Hit Wednesday: Sean Sexton

March 18, 2015

Kink just sent through this weeks One Hit Wednesday and it’s a rough one featuring Sean Sexton taking a slam that took him out for a little while last year! Watch Sean’s SXTN PROMO that he was filming for when this happened!

“The BMX crash clip is something that represents the trials, tribulations, and the more serious side of filming and riding BMX. As of the past few years, the online crash clip has lost its place in BMX, and turned more into a “shock the audience” upload, for garnering attention and views. When we post something like this, it is because an intense amount of time, money, thinking, passion, and planning, went into whatever it is we were doing at that moment…and sometimes it just doesn’t work out…and that is part of BMX and what we do.

While on the first filming trip, in Tampa, Florida early 2014 for last week’s SXTN release, Sean came across this 180 rail hop he was into. He popped over it casually the first time, but landed a bit weird and blew the roll out. On the second attempt he missed his pop on the 180, and needless to say, we went straight to the hospital. Sean was on a flight home the next morning and in surgery by the following day. Brutal. ” – Kink

Kink – One Hit Wednesday: Tony Hamlin

March 11, 2015

For this weeks One Hit Wednesday from Kink, we get a look at Tony Hamlin getting upside down on a crazy spot he came across in Mexico last year. If you’re psyched on this go watch the entire KINK IN MEXICO CITY 2014 video! It’s a super dialed BMX video.

“While cruising around on our Mexico City tour last year, we came across these “tea cups” that we had recognized from previous bmx videos. They were super hard to ride and none of us could really come up with anything. Tony didn’t seem to be having trouble and eventually started toying with the idea of flipping it. The first attempt was super sketchy, he basically front cased the edge of the cup. Somehow, next try he pulled it perfectly, and we had a good laugh at how ridiculous this clip is.”

Kink – One Hit Wednesday: Chad Osburn and the Full Loop

March 4, 2015

Chad Osburn is no stranger to going fast and that’s what it takes to get through a loop on a full pipe! Check out this classic clip from Kink!

“We passed by this skatepark one morning while on a filming trip in Northern California for Squash It. Chad casually pulled up next to the van at a nearby traffic light and said something about wanting to loop the full pipe we had just passed. The skaters at the park weren’t stoked that we were there, that is until they figured out what Chad wanted to try. A few run ups later and Chad charged it, the craziest thing we’ve ever seen. He actually loses contact with the pipe at around 11 o’clock, only to be miraculously caught and saved. Wild.” – Kink

Kink – One Hit Wednesday: Chris Doyle

February 25, 2015

For this weeks One Hit Wednesday, Kink went back to 2008 to a clip of Chris Doyle that he had a little “trouble” with. Chris is a beast. Enough said! Check it out!

“Chris Doyle has been filming enders longer than most people have been riding. For our 2008 dvd, “Safety First” we ended up filming his last clip in Chapel Hill, NC. Chris had been sweating this manual gap to rail for a few years before this, and decided it was finally time to get it done. One of our flow riders, Jason Owens, lost his mind when Chris accidentally jumped to feeble on the first take. Chris being the professional he is, got back on his bike and laced it next try. Classic Doyle, classic footage.”
