Stash BMX – Robin Slootmaker “Crust Keys 1”

July 1, 2024

Robin Slootmaker in Taiwan!

When you consider that like 90% of BMX bikes and parts come from Taiwan, it’s almost weird we don’t see an endless supply of BMX videos coming from the country. It’s especially surprising when you see the spots they have on there. Although we do see some pop up here and there, when a fresh video featuring a guy like Robin Slootmaker going to work on a ton of spots, you really can see what the country has to offer. Hit play to watch Robin slay everything he came across during his latest visit!

“Loving all the footage coming out of Taiwan lately, and now we’ve got another fresh dose of Taiwanese street gold for you via Stash BMX and Robin Slootmaker. Looking at all those spots, we need to book a flight!” – DIG

“It feels like yesterday, I still remember around 2013 when I was still a college student in Kaohsiung, I saw this guy looking hella bmx, I knew he was a rider. That night KS legend Aga (Jason) called me saying there was an American dude haning at the shop (Liberty BMX Shop). It was Robin Sloot!
Since then we started to ride all around Taiwan together for over a decade, this old man is 35 now! I still can’t believe the stoke is still high, he still keep pushing his style and skill to the next level, and most important of all he still enjoys riding, traveling with the homies more than ever! Recent years he’s been active in Asian bmx scene, dedicated to bringing more riders around the world to this beautiful island This is going to be a very original crusty Taiwan street video.” – Allen Liu / Stash BMX

Robin Slootmaker – 10 Toes Deep In Taiwan

April 30, 2024

Robin Slootmaker spent some time cruising spots in Taiwan!

Here’s a fresh video from some trips to Taiwan and Hong Kong that Robin Slootmaker got in recently for Odd Cirkus Footwear. As always, Robin delivers with a ton of great riding and the spots look real good, too. It’s kind of wild how most BMX bikes come out of Taiwan and we don’t see too many videos from there. Either way, this is a real solid watch, so get on that play button.

“2023 was a busy year for me. Being a mid 30s 9-6 office worker with 6 months of work travel, my appendix bursting shortly after starting filming, and subsequent broken ribs, this thank you to Odd Cirkus Footwear took a bit longer than initially planned.
Footage was stitched together from a few weekend sessions in Taipei, Taiwan with the homies and leftovers from last 2 Slaughterhouse trips (Taiwanted and a Hong Kong trip). Thanks to Archie Kenward for bringing the cutty jibs together into a somewhat cohesive package. Big shout out to Stash BMX for all the support and keeping me rolling.
I’ll be 10 toes deep in the streets spot hunting until I can’t no more.

Robin Slootmaker – Still Loyal To The Soil

January 14, 2024

Robin Slootmaker spent 5 days cruising in the Bay Area!

Here’s a fresh edit Robin Slootmaker put together from his recent trip back to the U.S to spend some time in the Bay Area riding and visiting his family. Here’s a little under 3 minutes worth of footage he collected during his five day stay cruising a bunch of different spots!

“Visited my home back in the Bay Area for the end of year holiday season. Besides seeing friends and family I was able to ride some classic and unique spots The Bay has to offer. Living overseas for a decade I often get nostalgic for where I grew up and I hope this captures some of that. Fun times filmed over 5 sessions with Marcus Mederios and Samar Carrillo behind the lens in Berkeley, Oakland, and San Francisco.

Thanks to home, all my friends and family I got to see and ones I didn’t.
Thanks Odd Circus and Stash BMX Shop for the continued support.
RIP Ben “Doubt” Hayden

Strays 2022

September 20, 2022

Robin Slootmaker coming through with a new video with a mix of BMX and skate footage, with plenty of fun and good times mixed in for good measure. This is pretty laid back, but the footage keeps things interesting from start to finish. Take a look!

“This is a bit out of the scope of what I normally do but “Strays” is mainly about after work weekend sessions cruising the city with beers, bikes, and boards. No agenda but collect the stray clips and share the good times. Featuring a bunch of folks.” – Robin Slootmaker

Taiwan BMX – Night Market Mix

June 14, 2021

It’s kind of crazy how most BMX bikes these days come from Taiwan, but we don’t see a ton of footage coming from the place. That changes with this new mix featuring some of the locals going to work on the streets during some late night sessions! Check out what they cooked up or you guys!

“Laid back, after work, night time BMX riding in Taiwan captured on VX1000 and VX2000. All bad vibes
Feat. Allen Liu, Eddie Mayhew, Robin Sloot, AhWen, Wallride, Willy Lo and more.

“Social Distance” – Full Video

March 26, 2021

It’s kind of crazy to think that a huge percentage of BMX bikes, frames and parts come from Taiwan, but we don’t see a ton of footage coming out of the country. Here’s a new full-length called “Social Distance” from Taiwan to change that! Check out 32 minutes of footage from the locals and a few visitors. This has solid riding and a good vibe throughout! Take a look!

“We’ve got a really sick one for you today from Robin Slootmaker! ‘Social Distance’ is a 32 minute DVD featuring the often overlooked Taiwan BMX scene. 100% pure street, no gimmicks, and a shit load of incredible spots.

Once you’ve had a watch you can catch an interview with Robin about the whole process over on 90EAST – http://90eastboston.com/?p=5438” – DIG

“We didn’t set out to make a DVD. Filmed mostly over the last 8 months while Covid-19 shut down most of the world, Taiwan kept rolling. Socially distant from the rest of the world and no community spread here we wanted to spread to the community a hard copy standard definition take on the trips, the scene, good times riding bikes, hanging with freinds, battles and beers along way in these stange times. Filmed in SD on now defunct VX2000, TRV15, and VX1000. Featuring: Zef Robinson, Awen, BongYo, XiaoGuo, Robin Slootmaker, Chase Quantril, Archie Kenward, Alec and Rich Thorogood, Ed Mayhew, Ryutaro Higa, Chiao Hung, Allen Liu and more.” – Robin Slootmaker
