You can’t go wrong with a trip to Malaga, Spain!

It’s a pretty well known fact that if you want to have a good time, you take a trip to Malaga, Spain to ride the amazing parks and spots. Some of the crew in Edinburgh, Scotland decided to hop on a plane and spend some time soaking up the sun and get some riding time in. Here’s a look at what they got into during their stay! As expected, it looks like it was an amazing trip! Check it!

“Earlier this year Marton Varga and a bunch of the Edinburgh, Scotland crew dipped to Malaga, Spain for a ten day dose of vitamin C and bike riding. Needless to say, they came back with a bunch of sick clips. Enjoy!

Fuse X Radio – In The Van 2

September 23, 2022

The Fuse and Radio teams loaded up for another road trip!

Back in May the first Fuse X Radio In The Van video dropped, and after that they immediately started planning another trip. Here’s a look at what the Fuse and Radio Bikes crew, consisting of Joe Ferguson, Stu Chisholm, Aubree Henson, Storm, Rory McLean and Kaz Campbell, got into as they cruised parks, trails and more! It looks like it was another awesome trip, maybe a 3rd round will happen down the road?

“Before we had even finished the first leg of the Fuse/Radio ‘In The Van’ trip we had already floated the idea of a part 2. We were in Scotland, it was cold and windy and the proposal to do another trip down south in warmer weather sat well with everyone. We even got the tents involved.

The WhatsApp group chat continually pinged as time went by, route direction and general piss taking unfolded until we had our plan. We would venture around Dorset and check out some of the offerings on hand. Not only is there an abundance of concrete parks located down that way, the camp spots were plentiful too making it easy for us to move along as we saw fit.

You can’t beat getting in a van and having a loose plan of where you will go or where you will sleep.

Get your mates and go do the same!” – Fooman

BSD dropped a new Rory McLean video you won’t want to miss!

“With the volume of amazing riding that has come out of the indoor parks in Scotland you’d be forgiven for thinking it’d be hard to come up with new riding for them. But Rory McLean’s approach brings a uniquely fresh set of eyes and an original style like no other. Shot over the winter at Unit23, The Loading Bay and Shred, we are proud to bring you ‘Rory McLean – Progressive’.

No pegs? No problem!

Special thanks to Unit23, The Loading Bay, Shred and Transgression skateparks for their support.

Fuse X Radio Bikes – In The Van

May 23, 2022

This past winter was a long one, but some of the Fuse and Radio Bikes team guys over in the U.K decided it was time to load up for a road trip to ride a bunch of the amazing indoor and outdoor parks over in the U.K. Here’s a look at what happened when they got in the van and hit the road!

“The winter months had taken their time, WhatsApp group chats had run their course, and the urge to get back out for a good old road trip had been on the cards for a while. Email chains and pick up points arranged, we were making the most of planning for a good break in the weather to pile into a van and make our way North. Why north? It was the safer option due to the abundance of indoor parks situated in that region of the UK, should it rain etc. Which, of course… it did!

Mike Hullock, Joe Ferguson, Henry Logan and Kaz Campbell jumped in the van and made their way North to later meet up with Rory McLean and Jensen Murray for the 1st leg of the Fuse x Radio trip.

Loading Bay x DIG – Modularity

January 21, 2021

DIG teamed up with the The Loading Bay park over in Glasgow to design and build a modular street course at the park, and the dropped some of Scotland’s finest on the place to throw down. Here’s a look at the setup they built, and a ton of great riding from the crew!

“Like most of the world right now, our local city of Glasgow has seen a seemingly constant stream of changing coronavirus restrictions in the latter half of 2020. And, for three weeks in late November, restrictions stopped Glasgow’s indoor skatepark ‘The Loading Bay’ from trading altogether. Never missing out on an opportunity, we decided to team up with them for a build-and-ride video project whilst their doors were closed. This is Modularity.

Featuring Sean McGilly / Jensen Murray, Alex Donnachie / Joe Foley, Hector Spencer-Wood / Rory McLean, and Guy Scroggie / Dan Banks.
