Vinyl BMX – ID

April 4, 2021

Whenever Vinyl BMX drops a new video, we know we’re going to be in for a treat. This is a new mix of footage from the past few years with solid riding and filmwork at some of the best trails spots. Needless to say, if you’re looking to get your trails fix in, this is the one you’re going to watch. It sounds like Tom Arkus is sitting on a ton of footage and we might be getting a few more of these videos this year, which would be pretty damn rad since there aren’t enough trails videos popping up these days, and usually the footage and / or editing is pretty rough. Check it!

“A long overdue montage of some really incredible spots in Pennsylvania and England. This video features sick riders from the U.S. & Europe. Nate Halahan, Luke Halahan, Dunny, Brian Coleman, Tom Arkus, Chase Zink, Steven Mueller, Mark Potoczny, Mike Potoczny, Foerske, Red Belg, Gillian, Bentley, Cam McCreadie, Brandon Christie, Pi, Weexly, Dimitri, Phil, David Leep, Wingham homies, Gro Trails Crew, & Friends.

Lip Lords Hitching Post Session At The Wheel Mill

September 10, 2019

We can’t remember the last time we saw a BMX video filled with this many clips from a hitching post setup, but we’ll take it. Brant Moore hit us with a link to his latest video from a very productive session he caught with Mike Potoczny riding the hitching post setup at The Wheel Mill. As expected, both of these guys came through with a ton of creative and crazy clips in just a short amount of time. If you want something a little different that will spark your creativity, this should do the trick!

“Hitching post riding seems to be a lost art in BMX.
Mike Potoczny built this hitching post in less than 15 minutes at The Wheel Mill and then we shredded it for a couple hours to make this video!
Also featuring a guest clip from young shredder Noah Forker!” – Brant Moore
