“For our latest DIG BMX X SNAKEBITE podcast I was super excited to sit down and talk BMX with long-time friend and legit legend, Mike ‘Rooftop’ Escamilla! We cover his early days, filming for his break out part in Dirty Deeds, the unspoken ’rules’ that crept into late 90’s riding, what it takes to film a video part, and so much more! If you know Mike you know he speaks openly and this episode pulls no punches. I think you’ll like this one! – Shad Johnson

Leave a Comment

A little classic Paul Buchanan footage…

Last week we learned that Paul Buchanan passed away, leaving a lot of riders shocked and saddened to hear about the late BMX legend. Since word got out, there has been some of Paul’s footage making its way online. The guys at Snakebite BMX uploaded this gem which is filled with raw clips of Paul riding a backyard ramp setup in Washington back in 1997. It’s pretty wild to think this footage is over 20 years old already. It’s also rad to see the level Paul was on that far back. Hit play and enjoy. Rest in Peace, Paul. BMX will never forget you.

Snakebite uploaded this gem from 2002…

Talk about a flashback… Snakebite uploaded this Animal Bikes video from 2002 that features riding from Shad Johnson, Rich Hirsch, Lou Rajsich and John Bristol. We can’t remember exactly what this was for, but either way it’s jam packed with some damn good riding that will bring all of the Mid Schoolers to the yard. Take a look!

Check out some classic Mat Hoffman footage from way back in 1991!

What were you doing in 1991? I was about 3 years old, so I was probably doing something along the lines of nothing notable. However, back in 1991, Mat Hoffman was already crushing it on a BMX bike. Here’s some footage of Mat getting some riding in at Jeff Harris’ warehouse that was originally released in the “Clowns Full Of Hate” VHS tape.

Check out Mat Hoffman’s section from the “Chasing The View Off The Cliff” video that came out in 1994!

Snakebite BMX coming through with some more gold for you from the old “Chasing The View Off The Cliff” video. This time around we get Mat Hoffman‘s section that is a mix of footage from him and the Oklahoma City BS stop that had a bunch of awesome riding go down. It’s pretty crazy how much has changed since 1994, but one thing has stayed the same… Mat is still crushing it on a vert ramp and sending it as big as ever!

Check out the full “Dig 25” BMX video!

This is so rad… Check out riding from Fuzzy Hall, TJ Lavin, Bruce Crisman, Jamie Bestwick and more in the full “Dig 25” video that Snakebite BMX uploaded in its entirety for your viewing pleasure! Obviously with a line up of legends like that, you can expect a ton of great riding. Not only does this have sections from each of the guys, but there’s a few sections from contests, jams and more as well. Hit play and take all of this goodness in!

“Dig 25 was one of those completely random midschool video’s that came out in the early 2000’s. Featuring a who’s who of X-games riders from that time so the riding is good and unlike most videos that were pushed through by non riders at this time this really isn’t cheesy at all.” – Snakebite BMX
