With the Monster sponsorship and the video game related intro, I expected some Dew Tour flippy/whippy madness. Instead, I was treated to some smooth, stylish riding on street, park and even a little dirt. A pleasant surprise.
Monster – Adam Kun – Kiev Edit
Spotted this over on Flat Matters. Adam Kun recently spent some time over in Kiev where he spent some time filming for this amazing new Monster edit. Everything from the riding to the quality of the filming and editing makes this one you need to see regardless if you’re into flatland or not.

O40 BMX Park – 1 Year Anniversary Contest
It looks like a ton of wild riding and good times went down at the 040 BMX park in Holland for their one year anniversary. Take a peek!
“With more than 40 pro riders signing up the contest presented by Monster Energy at 040BMXpark looked promising from the start. It was the first big pro contest in Eindhoven after the 2011 rebeljam and riders from Venezuela, South Africa, Germany, England, Belgium, and the Netherlands showed up and Monster Energy’s Catfish was flown in to host the event. As usual the contest started a bit later than scheduled but that gave the riders some extra practice time. It`s always good to have some extra riding time at a park that you have never visited before.
Contest results:
1. Declan Brooks
2. Jack Watts
3. Isaac Lesser
4. Ashley Douglas
5. Nicky van der Veen” – Monster
Greg Illingworth – A Long Time Coming
Monster caught up with Greg Illingworth to talk about what it took to make his Ride UK interview. The process it takes to create something like that interview is so crazy from all the different countries they went to, the time it took and more. Who wouldn’t mind doing that for a living?
“Back in 2011 Monster Energy’s Greg Illingworth set out on a journey with Ride UK Bmx’s Nathan Beddows to complete one of the most in depth interviews the Magazine had ever seen. Producing 2 major BMX edits along the way and documenting his travels around the world, his interview ‘A Long Time Coming’ takes Greg back to his routes in SA and on epic trips into Japan and the US. Documented by renound Videographer Will Evans — this is the story behind Greg Illingworth’s A Long Time Coming.”
