Ride UK caught up with Tom Justice for a quick session where he throws down 5 dialed moves on the spine at Asylum Skatepark! Flips, whips and those amazing 360 tuck no handers and inverts that Tom does!
Cult Jam in London
Check out some highlights from the Cult BMX jam that went down at Frontside Gardens skatepark last weekend! Looks like they had a good time and some familiar faces like Bas Keep, Ollie Shields and Jordan Aleppo were in the house to throw down. Check the video to see it all!
“Last Saturday (30.05.15) the Cult jam went down at Frontside Gardens in the classic style. No bad vibes, no cops, no rain, just a bowlful of good times.
Somewhere in London’s concrete jungle lies Frontside Gardens. It has a crazy ramp setup, you’re not going to find the like of anywhere else, the ghetto street set up and burly wooden ramps laid the playing field for the pros and locals alike. With a great atmosphere all day, people throwing down and getting wild. What more could you ask for… Oh yeah there was free pizza too.” – Ride UK

Ride UK dropped this new BMX video for Stay Strong featuring two guys we are always pumped to see some fresh footage from; Jordan Aleppo and Anthony Watkinson, putting work in on the streets of London! This edit is split down the middle into two sections with Jordan up first then Anthony. Combined this is just under 4 minutes of gold!

Ride UK – “Everything Just Changed” – The Final Cover
Ride UK have just released the final cover of their print edition and it features an INSANE photo of Sebastian Keep. It’s such a bummer that another print magazine is on its way out, but this is a banger of a photo to go out with! This issue should be available soon!
“Over the last 23 years the cover of this magazine has been the home of the most pinnacle moments in BMX history. Our very last print cover has a duty to be something special, something ground breaking, something extraordinary. For our final cover Sebastian Keep delivers all of the above and redefines the boundaries of BMX in the process.
This is a 22ft gap to wall ride, from a kicker ramp on the elevated road above, into a 32ft high wall ride down the side of a multi-storey car park and into a 12ft quarter pipe. To put it bluntly, this is death defying. It is a giant leap into new realms of preparation, commitment, skill, height, speed and danger. It is monumental moment of BMX history and it is British moment at that – a fitting end to our print history.” – George Marshall
Ride UK Dropping Print and Going 100% Digital
We have been hearing rumors that Ride UK would be moving over to 100% digital the past few days, but we hadn’t heard any solid evidence. Today, Bike Biz dropped a press release from Factory Media (Ride UK’s publisher) that they would be discontinuing Ride UK and Dirt mountain bike magazine as part of their restructuring plan. It’s been crazy how many print magazines have been shut down. I think it’s just Ride BMX and BMX Plus! still with a regular print schedule. Expect all of Ride UK’s content to be coming through their website in the future.
