100 Foot Flat Rail BMX Jam

April 19, 2018

What happens when you drop some of the best street riders on a 100 foot long rail? You get some crazy grinds and lines.

When it comes to rails, it’s not every day that you get the chance to ride a 100 foot long flat rail. The Ride BMX guys recently got their hands on this rail and decided to invite out a bunch of heavy hitters to ride the mega rail and see what they could come up with for grinds and lines. Needless to say, things got crazy. Check it out!

“Garrett Reynolds, Chad Kerley, Devon Smillie, Bruno Hoffman, Lewis Mills, Dan Lacey, Johnny Raekes, Anthony Perrin, Demarcus Paul, and more session what is possibly the worlds only 100-foot-long flat rail! Absurd. Thanks to our dudes over at Transworld Skate for letting us break it out…” – Ride BMX

Van Homan Bike Build Challenge

April 16, 2018

Van Homan builds up a new bike and it’s a bit more work than expected…

During a recent trip to the S&M and Fit Bike Co. warehouse in California, Van Homan decided it was time to build up a brand new bike. So, he took a tour around the building looking for all the parts like his new signature frame, gathered it all up and built the bike up under the clock. It wasn’t setting any speed records, but it did end up looking damn good. Hit play to see how it all went down!

“This whole thing literally went down like this…
Me: “Hey Van, let’s film a bike check.”
Van: “Aw, man I can’t. I actually need to build up a new bike.”
Me: “Okay, let’s film that.”

So I followed Van around as he hand-picked parts from the warehouse over at Fit, including a ton of his new signature parts.” – Ride BMX

Lewis Mills – Make It Rain Plaza Sessions

April 13, 2018

Lewis Mills puts in the work rain and shine…

It’s safe to say Lewis Mills has been on fire lately. Here’s a fresh one where he goes to work on a few different plazas down in Australia, rain or shine! Lewis has some serious grind combos on lock and this video is jam packed with amazing clips you’ll want to rewind to re-watch a few times. Hit play!

“Lewis Mills is quickly becoming one of my favorite dudes to watch ride… Uber-progressive combos sure, but that swag though! Maybe it’s the lengthy extremities but Lewis just oozes bike control. Shouts to filmer / editor Ben Norris for sending this one through! Instant classic.” – Ride BMX

Check out some more from Lewis in the Garrett Reynolds’ “Fiending In Sydney” video!

Heavy Session At The New Vans Training Facility

April 12, 2018

Some of the Vans team caught a private session at the new Vans headquarters…

What happens when Dakota Roche, Bruno Hoffmann, Kilian Roth, Gary Young, Dan Lacey, Andrew Castaneda and Anthony Perrin get together for a session? Plenty of amazing riding and good times. The crew recently caught a session at the new training facility located inside the brand new Vans headquarters out in California. Here’s a raw cut of footage giving you a look at what went down!

“Vans moved the whole operation to Costa Mesa recently, and with that move came a lot of life improvements…the most epic of them being a little private ‘training facility’ that the employees and pro riders can call their own at any time of the day or night. Before the Vans Street Invitational kicked off, we organized a little (but insanely heavy) session with some of the Vans squad including Dakota Roche, Bruno Hoffmann, Kilian Roth, Gary Young, Dan Lacey, Andrew Castaneda, and Anthony Perrin.

Hope you enjoy the raw cut; finding cleared music that isn’t horrible, so I figured this was the best way to go. Besides, I think it tells the vibe of the session pretty well.

Want more? Leave a comment and we’ll hassle Vans to get some more people in there.

This was a pretty productive session, so check out what went down!

“The Madera team spend a Sunday at one of the most ridiculous ledge spots in LA. And in typical SoCal fashion, you never who else may end up at the session—this time around guests include Jordan Godwin, Broc Raiford, Jacob Cable, and more. While Elstran put in work on a wild tech move for multiple hours, we caught Godwin annihilating the spot, and much more randomness as well.” – Ride BMX

Drop The Pin – Tom Dugan & Fit Friends

April 10, 2018

Tom Dugan and some of the Fit team drop a pin to ride a random spot!

What happens when you let Tom Dugan drop a pin on a map and see what he can come up with for clips on the spots in the area? Plenty of goodness and laughs. Add in some clips from Jordan Hango, Shawn McIntosh and Matt Nordstrom and you got a real good watch. Hit play and check out what went down!

“Leave it to Tom Dugan to break the mold and do a “Drop The Pin” in reverse order… Haha. We dropped one with Tom, Shawn Mac, Jordan Hango, and Matt Nordstrom with limited time (During Fit’s 2019 complete bikes shoot, but more on that later) and still came across some gems in the form of a community college and a riverbed / ditch with a plethora of setups. Tommy and the dudes made use to say the least.” – Ride BMX
