November 29, 2024

Check out the trailer for the “Lead By Example” full-length coming next year!

Here’s the first trailer for a new full-length video that Grant Castelluzzo is working on called “Lead By Example” that’s due out in 2025. This is a pretty short trailer, but base on the line up for the full sections, you know it’s going to be a wild one. Take a look, then get stoked for what’s to come!

“It’s so common to hear people complaining about what they believe is wrong with BMX but it’s important to remember that you are in charge of how you participate in it. Maybe the world has moved away from full length videos but if there’s something you value, then it makes sense to put your time, effort, and energy into it regardless of if there is a monetary value.

“Lead By Example” is an independent full length BMX video coming in 2025. Filming in progress.
