The latest BMX Videos, Products and News!
New year means a lot of contracts starting up and coming to an end. After 8 years with Red Bull, it looks like Daniel Wedemeijer will no longer be riding for the company. Above is his Instagram post with a few highlights from his time with them to bring the news. Definitely a bummer, but we’re sure we’ll be seeing more of Daniel in the future!
It looks like Red Bull has been busy adding some new names to the roster. Last week Kieran Reilly was added over in the U.K, now it looks like Nikita Ducarroz has announced that she has been added to the squad, joining Red Bull’s growing women’s BMX program! Stoked on this news and definitely well deserved! With the new year around the corner, we would imagine we’re going to see a bunch of sponsor news starting to flow, especially after the way 2020 has gone for the BMX industry as a whole.
“Absolutely speechless moment. From a dream of a little girl afraid to leave her house, to seeing it become a reality, I can’t even begin to describe the feeling of joining the @redbull family today 🤍 I’m so excited for women’s BMX and how far we have come, joining @lara_lessmann, @lizsurley_bmx_ and @bmx_queensaray on the team.” – Nikita Ducarroz
Here’s some news I thought I posted the other day, but a bunch of you probably heard by now that Kieran Reilly has been added to the Red Bull U.K team! Up top is a video Bas Keep put together showing how he surprised Kieran with the news, along with some footage showing his incredible progress over the years. You can also check out Kieran’s video he uploaded on his channel down below with some footage from the session after he got the news. We can imagine that was an amazing day for everyone involved. Check it out, and expect to see plenty more of Kieran in the near future!
“His childhood dream since 10 years old was to be sponsored by Red Bull! We surprised him with the news! EMOTIONAL!
I am beyond proud of how far this kid has come and how hard he has worked to get here! Love you mate!

Red Bull coming through with a new video featuring Murray Loubser for all the riders out there that love some unique spots and architecture that create some mind blowing spots. This is super dialed from the riding to the spots and film work, so hit play and enjoy!
“Watch BMX rider Murray Loubser transported from a lecture room into a BMX scene scape, then take a behind-the-scenes look at the creative team that brought this project to life.
“We had been shooting photos for so long now and shapes were appearing in images we were shooting in the architecture and how the shadows were being cast and the idea was to do a project to capture those shapes as the key interest in the gallery we wanted to shoot,” Murray says.
“The idea of ‘Shapes’ is to capture the architecture and the geometric patterns that you find occurring in the city and showcasing those in the way a BMX would see his surroundings.”

Over the years Red Bull have produced a ton of amazing BMX videos featuring their team and friends throwing down all around the world. One series, 3 Day Metro Pass, featured the Red Bull team and friends spending 3 days exploring different cities from the U.S to Canada, Spain, Portugal, Italy and more! Although there hasn’t been a new 3 Day Metro Pass for some time, Red Bull decided to dig into the archives and put together a behind the scenes video mixing footage from all the different trips. Take a look!
In a challenge of resourcefulness, top BMX riders traveled to cities around the world where they were given three days to film their best tricks, using public transit as their only means of getting around.
Cast: Kriss Kyle, Jordan Godwin, Chris Childs, Dan Paley, Courage Adams, Corey Martinez, Sergio Layos, Corey Walsh, Matt Miller, Anthony Hamlin, Kilian Roth, Kris Fox, Tom Deville.
Locations: Vancouver, Montreal, Washington DC, Seville, Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Prague, Lisbon.

It’s awesome seeing more and more girls getting into BMX, and the younger generation is really pushing things in the right direction. Red Bull dropped this new video featuring twin sisters, Lizsurley and Queensaray Villegas, down in Colombia where they are making moves despite not having all the opportunities handed to them. This gives us a look at how they make things work, a look at where they’re living, what their goals and future ambitions are and more. Not only that, but there’s plenty of riding footage in this as well from their local park, trails and ramps they built up. These girls are paving the way for girl riders, and BMX in general, from Colombia!
“Discover how BMX twins Lizsurley and Queensaray prove to be ‘2 in a million’ as they work their way up from local freestylers to olympic hopefuls despite their lack of training infrastructure and resources.
Identical twins, Queensaray and Lizsurley were brought up in the Colombian jungle. Their family never had much but they were instilled with determination and a will to succeed. Their scrappy, make-do attitude has seen them go from flipping their bikes into a homemade rooftop foam pit to having the chance to represent their country and make their community proud as Olympic hopefuls.” – Red Bull
Matthias Dandois teamed up with Red Bull on a new Podcast series called “What Does It Take“. To Kick things off, Matthias sat down with Danny Macaskill to get his story from how he got his Pro career started way back in 2009 on up through what he has going on today. Obviously Danny is a MTB / Trials guy, but we know a ton of BMX guys who are into what he’s doing. Hit play and give this a listen since it’s a good one. Obviously with the two different accents it’s a little tricky at times, but otherwise it’s a real good listen. Check it!
“For the first episode of the What Does It Take podcast, I went to London to meet Danny Macaskill. We sat down to talk about Danny growing up in Scotland, being a bike mechanic, having success from one day to another, trying tricks hundreds of time, having multiple injuries, spending days to film a trick, working on the craziest projects, dealing with fear.

I also spent the day riding and having lots of fun with Danny in London.
