Monster Energy – Kevin Peraza Is On Fire

January 14, 2016

With a title like that, you better believe this is one of those wild MUST SEE BMX videos! Monster Energy just dropped this banger of a video featuring Kevin Peraza absolutely destroying some of his local skateparks and spots! Stop reading and HIT PLAY!

“While most riders make the move to Southern California, Kevin is happiest at home in Tucson surrounded by family and friends. For the last year he has ridden his local spots, visualizing new lines and tricks on the familiar ramps. When it came time to put it on camera Kevin was unstoppable. Whether it was coming up with a way to create green fire, building a massive wall ride or pulling never been done tricks, when Kevin sets his mind to something he always gets what he wants.

Let’s Talk BMX Shops and the Direct To Consumer War

January 14, 2016

Yesterday, Vital BMX released an Harry Main Interview that really fired people up. In fact, FBM and Ride UK have both chimed in on their perspectives on why Harry’s perspective is wrong and the direct to consumer route is not benefitting BMX, at least not in the correct way. I’ve been thinking about the subject quite a bit since I originally read Harry’s responses and I wasn’t really sure if I wanted to chime in. Honestly, going into this blog post I was originally just going to link to FBM and Ride UK and see if we could get any discussion going… Then I decided I might as well point out a few of my thoughts on the value of BMX shops and everything… Then it turned into a big long write up. So, let’s just get into this.

Proper Bike Co. – Madrid

January 8, 2016

Proper just sent through a link to their latest BMX video from a team trip they took to Madrid, Spain to search the city for its finest spots! Needless to say, Janis Cunculis, James Curry, Jordan Stump and Sam Marden had no problem finding some amazing setups that allowed for some heavy clips to be stacked. They even found some massive doughnuts to munch on, too. Excellent riding and some real good film work makes this one a Must See for sure! Hit play and enjoy!

“Filmed and Edit: Toby Goodyear
Additional footage: Janis Cunculis
Additional production: Jamie Cameron

We’d be been planning a trip to Madrid for literally years. It’s a city with too many good rails and we took a crew more than capable of taking advantage of that. Get out the city centre and you’ll find them.
Fortune was one our side. The weather, spots, and riders made for a happy crew. No injuries, few flats, and no broken parts meant we were able to accomplish a lot in a week without getting anywhere close to running out of the seemingly endless set ups.
