Red Bull – Croatian BMX Vacation

May 25, 2022

Red Bull coming through with a new one from some time Marin Rantes, Daniel Dhers and Senad Grosic (It’s been forever since we’ve seen him pop up in a video!) throwing down on ramps set up around Rovinj, Croatia! As expected, they went above and beyond with the setups and it lead to a bunch of great riding footage, especially having it mixed in with this city. This video also has a behind the scenes look at what went into making this one, which is definitely interesting to see as well!

“The picturesque coastal town of Rovinj in Croatia is world-renowned for a number of things. The beaches, the architecture, the people, the vibes. The list is long but few would include “BMX destination” in it. Stone-paved 16th century streets aren’t really ideal to cruise on 20-inch wheels, but that sure didn’t stop Marin Ranteš dreaming about setting up features all around the town. By the time these dreams came to fruition the Croatian local had became an international BMX park heavyweight with the likes of Daniel Dhers & Senad Grosic on speed dial. Both wasted no time, packed their bikes and joined Marin for a Croatian BMX vacation.” – Red Bull

Now this is what we’re talking about! Red Bull sent Courage Adams down to Johannesburg, South Africa to see what it had for spots! Hit play for a bunch of great riding from Courage and some of the locals, along with some insights from Courage!

“While the competitive passion burns deep in Adams, it’s riding freestyle out on the streets that really fuel his fire.

The film gave him a chance to explore Johannesburg and connect with a group of riders that make up the grassroots of the scene there.” – Red Bull

Red Bull – Kieran Reilly Lands The World’s First Triple Flair

January 18, 2022

It’s been a little while since we’ve seen a World’s First that we didn’t expect anyone to go after, but Kieran Reilly managed to pull it off! Red Bull just released this behind the scenes style video showing Kieran putting in over 6 months of work to make a Triple Flair happen from the ramps being built to figuring it out in the foam and the battle to get it done on the ramp while taking a beating. Hit play to see how Kieran pulled off the Triple Flair.

“British BMX heavyweight Kieran Reilly has spun his way into the BMX history books landing the world’s first triple flair. To make it happen the crew built a custom roll-in and ramp at Asylum Skatepark in Nottinghamshire, England, where Kieran spent days on end attempting the trick, taking heavy hits one after another. The learning curve was steep, painful & at the end, breathtakingly successful.” – Red Bull
