Red Bull At Mellowpark

October 27, 2025

Some of the Red Bull squad caught a session at Mellowpark in Germany.

Here’s a raw cut from a session some of the Red Bull team recently got in during a stop at Mellowpark over in Germany. Hit play to check out riding from Garrett Reynolds, Courage Adams, Lara Lessmann, Murray Loubser, Sebastian Keep, Bruno Hoffmann, Bora Altintas and George Ntavoutian, along with a handful of other riders that were there. You alreadyd know when a crew like this rolls in, things will get wild regardless of how laidback the session is.

“A selection of the stacked Red Bull team met up in Berlin, Germany recently to hang out, ride some street spots and see what the local Mellowpark had to offer. We got Archie Kenward out there to catch some highlights for you. First up, Mellowpark – look out for some street footage soon. ” – DIG

Tobias Wicke- Heroes Of Our Youth

July 27, 2023

I see Tobias Wicke’s name, I click play!

Here’s a throwback from 2013 for your viewing pleasure. Lara Lessmann picked Tobias Wicke for her “Heroes Of Our Youth” pick, so Freedom BMX dug into the archives and re-uploaded Tobias’ Vans video. Even after 10 years this video still kicks a lot of ass. Hopefully we’ll see some fresh Tobias footage in the near future.

“You don’t see Tobias Wicke riding BMX for years and then he just hits a backflip tailwhip and other stunts at the Park-DM in Duisburg recently, which shouldn’t actually be possible for someone in BMX semi-retirement. The national coach is and remains a GOAT!

Matching this sign of life as a cyclist, today there is a new episode of “Heroes of our youth”, for which Lara Lessmann chose the web edit of Tobi’s tenth anniversary at @vans.

By the way, the video came out in 2013, so it’s celebrating its tenth anniversary this year. But don’t worry, like a good wine, it hasn’t gotten worse over the years, but better. Tobi’s front wheel game is definitely as impressive today as it was then and the ender is opposite! But see for yourself…

Grant!

Red Bull coming through with a new one featuring Lara Lessmann, Daniel Tünte and Mati Echeverria cruising a few parks in Berlin, Germany! Despite COVID restrictions, they made the most of it and ended up laying down plenty of great riding! Hit play and take it all in!

“Looking for new challenges in the local area, BMX ace Lara Lessmann finds what she is looking for in her adopted home Berlin: Together with Mellowpark locals Daniel Tünte and Mati Echeverria, Lara shreds the new bowl in Eberswalde next to the Hellersdorf Liberty Park. The whole thing was filmed in the best old school style on VX and Super-8 cameras by Raph Jeroma-Williams. Why? Because style is everything!” – Red Bull

Eurocamp BMX Session with Lara Lessmann & Friends

April 26, 2020

A lot of riders would definitely like to spend some time at Eurocamp right about now. A few weeks back Lara Lessmann and crew spent some time there stacking clips and enjoying the nice weather. Here’s a look at what went down! Although it sounds like the trip didn’t quite go to plan with injuries, they still look like they had a real good time.

“Just before all the madness started, Lara Lessmann went to Eurocamp in order to film a new video for Kunstform BMX Shop. Unfortunately she got injured pretty much right out of the gate, so her travel companions Michael Meisel, Julian Bachmann and Robin Kachfi filled in for her. Here’s what the German crew came up with during their short, but sweet stay in BMX paradise.

A post shared by Lara Lessmann (@lara_lessmann) on Feb 8, 2020 at 6:25am PST

It always seems that we see a bit of sponsor news pop up at Simple Session, which makes plenty of sense with it being early in the year and there being no shortage of cameras around to take in the event. It looks like Lara Lessmann will be bringing her wings with her to the course this weekend because she’s now doing it for Red Bull. We’re pretty sure Lara is the first female freestyle BMX rider to represent Red Bull, which is awesome to see. Lara has been tearing it up for the past few years and we’re sure we’ll see plenty of great riding from her this weekend and into the future! Check out her post on Instagram above where she dropped the news.

“What a nail biter this event was I had no bloody clue who was going to win this.

So rad to see all the pro riders watching and supporting all the females from the side lines.

The progression is what you could talk most about with this female division, in the last few events these elite females have really stepped it up and definitely competing at a world class level.

This is going to be amazing every step of the way to the 2020 Olympics in Japan.

Todays winner all the way from Japan!

Oike Minato.” – Ryan Guettler
