We’re always on the look out for up and coming photographers that are producing some amazing photos. We recently caught wind of Nick Nogueira, who some of you might be able to piece together as the brother of Mannie Nogueira whose videos we post on the site regularly. The other day we got a sample of photos from Nick ranging from BMX to non-BMX commercial work he has done and we decided he was the perfect photographer for our Photos: interviews! We have a full interview with Nick giving you some insight into his photography work along with a new photogallery giving you a better look at some of his work! Ready? Let’s do this!

Holy absolute MUST SEE! Total BMX just released this BANGER of a video featuring Alex Coleborn DESTROYING a handful of skateparks from Adrenaline Alley in the U.K to Eurocamp in Spain! This video is packed with huge bangers and insanely technical lip tricks. All in all, one of Alex’s best BMX videos ever. If you haven’t hit play on this yet, you’re blowing it!
On June 13th, BMX riders from all over the place made their way to Burlington, Iowa to ride the Dankward Skatepark for the one and only Burly BMX Jam! Above is a video that gives you a look at the highlights from the entire day from the riding to the karaoke that that went down at the after party. You can see riding from guys like Bobbie Altiser, Dan Hylton, Jared Schlesselman, Habo Gutierrez and Glenn Salyers. This is what a proper BMX Jam looks like! It’s such a bummer knowing that we won’t be seeing Glenn blasting airs like he is doing in the end anymore. We’ve included a link to donate to his memorial fund below! Expect part 2 soon…
“Burly Jam 2015.
It was a cloudy day in Burlington, Ia on June 13 but that didn’t stop the migration of BMXers to Southeast Iowa from places like Texas, Chicago, New York, and all other dark corners of the Earth. Special thanks to @skateparkrider (Bobby Parker) for organizing this jam and to @twobraketony (Anthony Loconte), @golden_rod (David Buseman), and @murderbikebmx (Jerrod Glasgow) for taking the time to film. Also, thanks to Logan from @letsroastcycles for sponsoring High Air, Justin Marland for sponsoring King of Box and a special thanks to @sethgz (Seth Garrett) for supplying the music all day.
RIP Glenn Salyers” – Bobby Parker
There has been a Glenn Salyers Memorial Fund setup to help out Glenn’s family in this difficult time: Road2Recovery Foundation
It’s still pretty unreal that we lost Glenn Salyers the other day… Anthony Laconte was sitting on a bunch of amazing footage of Glenn for a new video that they were working on, so he put it together for one last final video from one of BMX’s finest riders. This video is an absolute must see. Rest in Peace, Glenn! BMX will never forget you.
“On Friday, July 17, 2015, we lost a special soul. Glenn Salyers was involved in a motorcycle accident, which had taken his life. When I received the news that Saturday morning, I was in disbelief. Fuck, I’m still in disbelief! Glenn was taken way too soon.
Glenn and I were working on a project together, but that project was unfortunately cut short. I compiled all the clips we had in this short lil edit. Glenn was a fucking shredder! Burly and tech! A rare human! He was so good and so smooth! He was honestly one of my favorite riders…to ride and film with!
You will be missed Glenn! The BMX world has lost a legend! Love you dude!
_RIDE IN PEACE_” – Anthony Laconte
We’re very excited to announce that we have partnered with the very popular BMX Color App that allows you to pick out a custom paint scheme for your bike right on the computer. We have been big fans of the website for a long time, and now you can use it directly from The Union! This application lets you pick out your choice of color on every part of your bike and we know a lot of you have been using this for a long time, but still a lot of people didn’t know it existed! So, with that being said… Get to customizing your own bike! Hit the link below!

This past weekend, The Street Series invaded cities in Japan, Latvia, Scotland and the United States with crews of riders getting together and swarming the streets for massive sessions to celebrate BMX Day! Chicago was one of the 5 locations that was selected for the day, and some of the Midwest’s finest got together with Brian Kachinsky and Dan Lacey as they lead the crew from Grant Park Plaza to a handful of the city’s finest street spots. We had photographer Dennis Peralta out cruising with his camera and he came through with a dialed photogallery featuring the likes of Dylan McCauley, Dan Kruk, Trent McDaniel and many, many more! Hit the link below to check out all of the photos!

We’re very excited to present to you a video from the Monster Street Series stop in Chicago!

This video features riding from Timmy Theus, Dan Kruk, Trent McDaniel, Joe Jarvis, Dylan Gold, Alex Duleba, Mike Stahl, Austin Auginbaugh, Julias Carrasquillo, Dylan McCauley, Mike Strong and Carlo Hoffmann! Big shout out to Dan Lacey for making the trip over to help everyone celebrate in Chicago!

This video is dedicated to Glenn Salyers who passed away in a tragic motorcycle accident the night before the Chicago Street Series. Had the accident not happened, there’s no doubt in our minds that Glenn would have been at this jam pulling off some of the most amazing riding throughout the day! Please donate to help his family and friends out in this difficult time…
