Jason Phelan Prevail Session

August 5, 2016

Yesterday Jason Phelan dropped a video giving us a look at his new GT Bicycles setup that he’s running. At the end of the video he headed over to Prevail Skatepark for a session, but it cut off before the riding started. That’s because it was a whole other video on its own. Here’s a look at what went down at the session with Jason, Scott Hamlin, Jay Cowley, Ollie Palmer and more all throwing down… and getting severely blinded by the light on the camera.

We want to hear from you! Let us know what you think in the comments below!

Scott Hamlin Video Bike Check

January 2, 2013

SouthWest BMX caught up with Scott Hamlin to take a closer look at his current setup along with stack a few riding clips from the Motion Ramp Park. Things didn’t quite go to plan and Scott ended up with a broken ankle, so hopefully he heals up quick so he can get 2013 going for himself.

“We hooked up with Scott Hamlin to do a bike check we decided to film one instead of doing a write up like we normally do, we filmed Scott at Motion Ramp Park in Bristol where he works. we didn’t manage to capture much riding because he fell of and broke his ankle so we just used what we had, this is the first Video’d Bike Check we have done. Enjoy
