Danny MacAskill – Gymnasium

We’re always stoked on checking out a new Danny MacAskill video. Despite it not being BMX, there’s a lot of BMX influence in the riding. Red Bull dropped this new video featuring Danny absolutely crushing it in a gymnasium. The tricks he’s doing on the setups are absolutely amazing. There’s also a lot of laughs and easter egg type things in this as well. Check this one out! Although this is awesome, the Going Crazy In A Gymnasium series that Brian Gregor and Rusty Prady did a few years back is still our favorite videos from a gymnasium, haha. Watch Danny MacAskill’s Gymnasium!

“New Year, New Tricks. Scottish Trials Bike legend Danny MacAskill shows us in his new film ‘Gymnasium’ that there are other ways to make your mark in the gym. Not a regular gym-goer by his own admission, YouTube sensation Danny stars in his new film and attempts to show the world that staying in shape doesn’t have to be daunting.

In his latest return to our screens, Danny seeks refuge from the ‘New Year, New Me’ craze by creating his personalised fitness playground in a long forgotten hall at his local sports complex. Even though performing a perfect bar routine while still on two wheels isn’t for everyone, Danny has found that it’s a case of no chain, no gain as he’s able to do what he loves and stay in shape at the same time.” – Red Bull

I’ll go through exactly what I’m doing for each shot as far as the technical aspects such as lighting, composition and camera settings as well as some other bts skills like working, positioning and communicating with the athlete.

Well, Red Bull decided to do a contest based around the concept with some insanely large ramps and inviting 14 riders to join Drew and Daniel Wedemeijer to ride the ramps! Here’s a loo at the first few days of practice that gives you a look at the insane ramps and some of the riding and fun these guys are getting into! We’re not exactly sure on the format, but it appears to be a head to head bracket style contest. Either way, with ramps this crazy, we’re sure we’ll see some damn amazing riding. Hit play and check this out, then stay tuned for more.

Red Bull – Drew Bezanson Takes BMX Park to the Next Level

3 Comments

After a streak of injuries that kept him pretty limited the past few years, it looks like Drew Bezanson is healthy and back to absolutely shredding. Red Bull just dropped this banger featuring Drew crushing it with big combos, transfer lines and wallrides. We’re real stoked to see Drew back to crushing it and we hope there’s plenty more of this to come! Hit that play button because you do NOT want to miss this BMX video!

“BMX Park sensation Drew Bezanson is back from injury and ready to break the internet one more time with this follow-up to Joyride 150.

Growing up in Truro, Nova Scotia, on the east coast of Canada meant long winters and seclusion from the rest of the BMX world for Drew Bezanson, but persistence and a genuine passion for riding to the best of his ability have certainly paid off. Among the many crown jewels in his trophy case are the 2010 and 2012 Transworld BMX NORA Cups for Ramp Rider of the year.” – Red Bull
