Matt Puorro – “Salvation”

November 25, 2015

Shad over at Snakebite keeping the sections from the “Salvation” BMX video that was released nearly 14 years ago already. This time around we get Matt Puorro’s section which is filled with a ton of pegless street and park riding. Matt put his big bag of tricks to good use for this video and came through with a handful of clips of stuff we just don’t see all too often. That ender is wild, too! Check it!

“Matt’s part from the 2002 Salvation video. Most of this is filmed in the Portland Or. area. Matt definitely helped push pegless riding in this section. His banger of a pegless tooth in a pool is still so gnarly on today’s standards.” – Snakebite BMX

Bruce Crisman – “Salvation”

November 24, 2015

What were you doing back in 2002? Chances are, you were not crushing it on a BMX bike like Bruce Crisman. Shad over at Snakebite just uploaded Bruce’s section from the “Salvation” BMX video and it is pure FIRE. Bruce was grinding rails and riding backwards long before most of you kids and this only has a few freecoaster clips mixed in… Things really got wild once he started going full time on that. Hit play and check this out. Classic video part from one of BMX’s best.

“Bruce Crisman’s part from the Salvation video in 2002. This was after Bruce won the X-games and right before he switched to riding a freecoaster. If you look close there is one coaster clip in this section.”
