Red Bull – Sand Castle Project

May 3, 2018

Kostya Andreev and Irek Rizaev throw down on a crazy sand castle ramp setup in this video from Red Bull!

We have seen some crazy setups to ride over the years from Red Bull and they never fail to completely blow our minds on what is possible. The other week we got the Mirror Park video, now today we get a video featuring Kostya Andreev and Irek Rizaev throwing down on a frozen SAND CASTLE! Well, we’re not 100% sure what this thing is actually made of, but it looks like a sand castle and it seems to hold up well to the riding these guys throw down on it. Even with the cold temperatures, which were sure is how they held this all together, the guys were able to produce! This turned out damn good and it’s well worth a watch! Check it out right now and make sure you give it a share!

“Two of Russia’s best BMXers head to the freezing northwest of their country to embark on a unique skatepark build.

Four hundred tons of sand and water, frozen to almost concrete-levels of hardness. This was the material chosen to construct a giant skatepark castle on the shores of Lake Ladoga in Northwest Russia. The unusual playground was the brainchild of Kostya Andreev and Irek Rizaev.

Everyone is familiar with building sand castles; fragile structures unable to withstand the returning tide. Irek and Kostya decided to build a bigger-size castle suitable for BMX riding.
It took the pair quite a while to choose exactly the right location for building the park. Eventually, they selected the northern part of Lake Ladoga where they found a beach with a beautiful view and access to the water. In the winter, the air temperature is incredibly low – perfect for ensuring the sustainability of the build.

Only two ingredients were used for constructing the park: sand and water.

At -30 Degrees Celsius, frozen sand was very similar to concrete in its properties and provided excellent grip. Irek and Kostya rode several truly frosty sessions and managed to demonstrate a totally stunning performance” – Red Bull

Scotty Cranmer – I Have Never Seen That Done Before

December 31, 2017

Scotty Cranmer has been having a bunch of guests at the Incline Club before it closes…

Once the news dropped that the Incline Club would be closing after 18 years, a ton of riders have been making the trip to New Jersey to get their final sessions in. Here’s a look at what went down during a big session with the crew and a handful of riders who are visiting for the final jam. Check out what went down during a game of Add On and more!

“Ok so its day two of the awesome night we have been having at the skatepark. We decided to play a pretty epic game of add o and then our special visitors decided to do some tricks that will BLOW YOUR MIND!” – Scotty Cranmer

Scotty Cranmer – Blindfolded BMX Bike Battle

December 29, 2017

Scotty Cranmer had the guys toss on some Sleep Masks and play a few rounds of Footdown!

Playing footdown is already hard since you have to be completely aware of what is around you at all times so you don’t get dropped. When it comes to to riding BMX, being able to see what you’re doing a HUGE part of it. So, Scotty Cranmer and the rest of the crew decided to see what happens when you strap some sleep masks on and play a game of blind footdown. As expected, the end result was hilarious.

“In this video the boys had the idea of doing a blindfolded BMX foot down challenge and I thought they were crazy! Riding BMX bikes is very hard when you were blindfolded it’s almost impossible! In this video we do a tournament style game of foot down that requires a lot of balance and technique. Also in this game we have some new riders to the channel and they just so happen to be some of the best bike riders in the world! This game is insane but it was so much fun!” – Scotty Cranmer

Kostya Andreev OFF Total BMX

February 10, 2017

Another rider leaves the Total BMX team? Kostya Andreev has parted ways with the brand.

First Daniel Sandoval left Total BMX, now it looks ike Kostya Andreev has also decided to step down from the Total BMX team. Based off Kostya’s statement below, it sounds like he made the decision during Simple Session, which leads to a lot of questions about why and what’s going on that’s causing people to quit. We don’t know quite what happened, but it definitely catches your attention when two riders quit in the same fashion at about the same time… We’ll keep you in the loop if we hear more. Until then, check out what Kostya posted on Instagram to announce the change.

“I took a decision to leave @totalbmx before the Simple Session finals last weekend. I simply didn’t have time to announce this due to my hectic schedule there. So, now it’s official – I don’t ride for @totalbmx anymore. I would like to say huge thank you to @ronnieremo for taking care of me over the last couple years and good luck.
