Hit play to check out all the amazing riding that went down! Dialed riding, great spots and some super clean film work. You won’t want to miss this one.

“Monster Energy’s ‘LOST IN’ series continues this year with a series of trips and we’ll be there for each one. First on the cards was Hamburg, Germany with Monster Energy’s own Jason Eustathiou, BSD’s Greg Layden, insta-legend Jiri Blabol, young TBB-Bike shop fireball Raul Jula and tech wiz Michal Smelko. The trip lived up to the name with some epic pedals with no idea of our route, but sometimes that’s the best way. Look out for more in the Lost In series really soon.

The Federal Bikes team have been busy going to work on their new “FTS” video and they’ve had some extra footage.

This isn’t your typical raw cut, behind the scenes scrap video… This is a well filmed and edited video that gives us a look at what the team experienced, along with some riding footage that won’t be making the cut for the final video, during their stay in Philadelphia. Check out riding and footage from Dan Lacey, Bruno Hoffmann, Anthony Perrin, Stevie Churchill, Ryan Eles, James Cunningham and Michal Smelko from the lens of Rich Forne! We’re already pumped to see the “FTS” video!

“Federal Bikes are currently working on a full length video project with Rich Forne called “FTS” and will be releasing a series of short videos called “Lost it” showcasing behind the scenes footage.

This is Volume 1 and was filmed during a team trip to Philadelphia.” – Federal Bikes

The title might be a little strange and kind of throw you for a loop, but don’t sleep on this BMX video because it features riding from Simone Barraco, Michal Smelko, Nico Badet, Emile Bouwman, Santiago Arano and more getting down on spots around Barcelona, Spain and what appears to be a few other places. Plenty of dialed riding with a real laid back vibe!
