Mic’d Up With Ryan Nyquist – Simple Session 20

February 9, 2020

Whenever the snack champion, Ryan Nyquist, gets a camera and a mic in front of him, you know you’re going to get a ton of laughs. Ryan was Mic’d up during a Simple Session practice. As expected, Ryan was full on trash talking, getting some gossip on the money situation from contests and sponsors, throwing down, wanting to ride for Corny and more. This is just shy of 19 minutes, and well worth a look if you want to get some laughs and see some dialed riding.

“It’s been four years since I did a mic’d up with Ryan Nyquist (in the Ride BMX), so I figured it was time we do another. Jump on board with the legend as he pokes and prods his fellow competitors (mostly Boyd Hilder) during practice at Simple Session 2020.” – Our BMX

We discuss all of that in detail, as well as his unique concept videos for Odyssey, Broc’s art side-project Tough World Co, and so much more when Broc got in the Volvo for an afternoon. *Please excuse the low-fi wizzing sound that starts up about half-way through the video (sometimes 30-plus year old cars make odd sounds) and I also began to loose my voice as well.” – Our BMX

Sweetwater Bike Park Grand Opening

January 6, 2020

There’s a wild new bike park that opened up near San Diego called the Sweetwater Bike Park. This place looks like a TON of fun and it looks like Mike “Hucker” Clark, Gary Young, Anthony Napolitan, TJ Ellis and a ton of other people took advantage of the place during its grand opening. This is a lot of raw footage, but it gives you an idea of what the place has to offer. It’s safe to say there’s another reason to make your way out west to San Diego!

“Random story: I actually drove by this place a few times in the last few months and it was super confusing to me. It looked like a BMX track, but it was obviously not finished and I couldn’t really get a good look at it. Little did I know that it was an in-progress bike park that was free and open to the public. I headed out the grand opening for a little pre-session with the dudes and here’s the raw cut along with a GoPro preview of the park thanks to Anthony Napoiltan and Justin Mclintock. If you’re in the San Diego area, check out the Sweetwater Bike Park at 6065 San Miguel Rd, Bonita, CA. It’s open from 9:30am to sunset. Fair warning, they don’t allow pegs because of the nature of the way the place is made. ” – Our BMX

Here’s some other info on the place on the SDparks.org website.

What do you think of the Sweetwater Bike Park? Would you take a trip out to San Diego to ride the place? Anyone have any places similar to this in their area? Let us now what you’re thinking in the comments down below!

.. We just need a Gorge Road style bike park here in the U.S… Now that would be wild!

Demarcus Paul – Night Moves

January 6, 2020

With BMX becoming more and more complex with its riding, this BMX video featuring Demarcus Paul doing nothing but bunnyhops over things is kind of refreshing. It’s something super basic, but he puts it to use on so many different setups and spots that it is honestly a good watch from start to finish. This one is well worth a look!

“A video with no tricks? Basically. When I met up with Demarcus to do the Bunnyhop How-To video, we cruised downtown San Diego and it was such a fun little cruise literally bunny hopping as many things as possible that I figured I’d just throw it into a little edit. Obviously nothing serious by any means…hopefully you enjoy the vibe.” – Our BMX
