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

Red Bull – Kriss Kyle In Denmark

Leave a Comment

Whenever Kriss Kyle releases a new BMX video with Red Bull, you know it’s going to be crazy! This latest video took Kriss to Denmark where he clearly had free reign to ride anything and everything from street spots to aquariums, roller coasters, roof tops, piers, beaches, boats, airplanes and more. This is absolutely a BMX video you need to see if you want to see some dialed riding on crazy spots.

“What could be more obvious than doing a BMX edit in a country where the average person pedals more than 500km a year? Probably not a lot of things. In Denmark – a country that has ranked as the happiest in the world in for several years, biking is a way of life. Kyle took full advantage of the laid-back lifestyle and love of all things two-wheels to explore some of the wildest places in the Scandinavian country.

His three-week journey saw him travel to the likes of Copenhagen, Aarhus, Jutland, Løkken, Falster Island, Møn Island and Klampenborg and perform tricks like paragliding with his bike onto a beach, ride in an underwater aquarium with sharks and take his bike on rollercoasters, cliffs, boats and planes.
