The Secret To Editing BMX Videos

January 10, 2018

Let Cult Crew’s filmer, Veesh, give you some tips on filming and editing…

The crew at Ride BMX caught up with Cult‘s filmer Veesh to get some tips and advice when it comes to filming and editing a BMX video. This one takes us along with Veesh and Dakota Roche as they do some filming at a spot, then we get a look at how Veesh puts it together to make for a rad little edit. Great advice and examples in this one, so if you’re looking to get into making BMX videos, give this a watch!

“Cult’s resident filmer and all around great human, Richard “Veesh” Krumm, gives up the secret to making great BMX edits…everything around the actual riding. The trick is the main course, but what you film and gather around the riding is the desert. You like that analogy? I just made it up. Anyway, check the video and pay close attention, because this is the difference between people who film BMX and people who are videographers…” – Ride BMX

Wethepeople BMX – Dillon Lloyd “Minor Set Back”

January 5, 2018

Dillon Lloyd is all healed up and back to crushing it on his bike!

It has been a while since we’ve seen a fresh edit out of Dillon Lloyd, but that’s because he’s been healing up from a broken foot. Now that he’s all healed up, he’s back to going to work stacking clips! Here’s a look at a fresh banger for Wethepeople that’s loaded with crazy grinds and lines galore.

“WETHEPEOPLE Pro Dillon Lloyd was quick to get back to filming after he suffered a broken foot that had him off the bike for eight months. From Jedi skilled fakie manuals to mind-bending rail bangers, Dillon is back in full form doing what he does best. It really is challenging to know which is Dillon’s natural direction for barspins and tailwhips. All hail the return of V2 Canadian Beast.” – Ride BMX

Jake Seeley and Grant Castelluzzo on Madera BMX

January 3, 2018

Jake Seeley and Grant Castelluzzo have made the switch from Profile Racing on over to Madera BMX and they’re kicking off 2018 with a bang.

Here’s some news we didn’t see coming! It looks like Jake Seeley and Grant Castelluzzo have made the move from the Profile Racing Pro team to the Madera BMX Pro Team. It’s not really a huge change considering Profile and Madera are owned by the same company, have their products made in the same building in Florida and basically share everything, but yeah! Hit play to watch Jake and Grant go to work on the streets to bring the news! We have a feeling we’ll see some big moves from Madera this year if they’re making moves like this already.

“ No, that’s not a typo, long time Profile riders Jake Seeley and Grant Castelluzzo are now riding for Profile’s sister company Madera. With both brands being under the same roof, the core support is the same, but now Jake and Grant, two prominent street riders, will be riding for the more street focused brand Madera. And the timing couldn’t be more perfect, because from the sounds of it, Madera has a lot in the works for 2018… ” – Ride BMX

The Most Progressive BMX Tricks of 2017

December 31, 2017

BMX has seen some serious progression in 2017 and there’s been no shortage of crazy tricks….

It’s pretty hard to think about EVERY BMX video that has come out in the past year considering there’s been a couple thousand that we have posted here on The Union (seriously, it’s around 10 a day on average). Our memory isn’t so good anymore, but fortunately the crew at Ride BMX decide to take a stab at nailing down 10 of the most progressive tricks and compile them into an edit for you to enjoy. We have a feeling people out there will call out a bunch of tricks that slipped their minds, but overall this is a really dialed list. Take a peek!

“2017 saw a lot of progressive bike riding and it seems like now more than ever, the notion of what is possible on a BMX is getting pushed further and further. Both the technical and gnarly aspects of tricks are getting completely ridiculous and this year saw a ton of innovation. Here is our list (in no particular order) of what we found to be the most progressive tricks done in the past year (2017).

Mike “Hucker” Clark – BMX From A New Perspective

December 31, 2017

It’s pretty amazing what you can do with cameras these days, especially when you pair a bunch of cameras up with Mike “Hucker” Clark!

This is amazing. The guys at Ride BMX caught up with Mike “Hucker” Clark at the Oakley trails with an arsenal of cameras. Here’s a look at what went down with some seriously amazing camera angles from a unique POV look, as well as the traditional angles really showing you what goes into Hucker’s riding. Even if you aren’t a fan of trails, there’s a good chance you will get sucked into this one and have a very hard time looking away!

“Hucker and I have been talking about doing a video like this for almost a year. Just something raw and simple (in theory) where we film the stuff he does nearly everyday, but show it from a unique perspective…almost as if you were viewing the trick as his pedal or front wheel. Actually figuring out how to mount the GoPro sturdy enough to survive was a bit more difficult than we expected, but Hucker was absolutely down to get it all done with a smile. So, I hope you enjoy. -Ryan

Many thanks to Oakley for letting Hucker create such a wild spot, Steve Blick for letting us film, Hucker’s dog Brody for being a main attraction, Chris Kinman at GoPro for always hooking me up with gear, and Jeff and Zach for helping me out! ” – Ride BMX
