Lil’ Pros UK BMX Tour Returns To Unit 23 Skatepark

December 27, 2020

Some of you might recall the Lil’ Pros BMX Tour videos from back in 2013 / 2014 that Dustin Grice organized featuring the younger riders at a bunch of different parks around the U.S and U.K. The series was pretty wild and ultimately a lot of the videos went viral and got a TON of views. Dustin went back to Unit 23 Skatepark around 2016 or 2017 to do a sequel to the original, but for some reason the video never surfaced online until now. Based on the footage, and age of Kieran Reilly, we figured that this was filmed about 4 years ago since Kieran is 19 now and says he’s 15 in the video. Either way, pretty cool to see the progress some of the kids from the original video to this one. It would be interesting to see what it’s like now, nearly 7 since the original video dropped. Either way, pretty cool to see this.

“After amassing more than 7,000,000 views on YouTube, Lil Pros Tour returns to its MOST VIRAL FILM ever… Welcome back to Unit 23 in Scotland. Join the crew as we check in with all of the kids again, years later, growing up fast and continuing to progress BMX stronger than ever…

Happy Holidays to all of you and your families, it has been an extremely challenging time worldwide, however, we are very thankful that we have this amazing unreleased footage from before the pandemic in our archives to remember all of our great times together, and look forward to the day that we can all celebrate like this on our bikes again… Cheers to our futures, 2021, and a whole new year full of opportunity!

BIG THANK YOU & APPRECIATION to Mark Ducat and Kieran Riley for their kindness to organize this memorable celebration back at Unit 23 and Loch Lomond, and to Matt Nicklen, Stephen Murray, Seth Murray, and Mason Murray for an incredible road trip through England straight north towards the Highlands of Scotland.
