Alec Siemon For Sunday Bikes

April 14, 2017

Alec Siemon drops some serious hammers…

Sunday Bikes just released this banger of a BMX video featuring Alec Siemon going to work on the streets for well over half a year. If Alec isn’t quite on your radar just yet, this video should definitely do the trick because there’s some incredible riding in this one! Hit that play button to see some serious grind and tailwhip combos, spins galore and more.

“I can’t say how long we’ve been filming this because honestly I lost count after six months. Originally we were filming for a mixtape with all the homies but Ale was the only one stacking clips. So, I put the clips together one night and showed him the timeline the next day, and we went from there. What can I say, it’s not easy filming Ale and his long neck. Watching him bust these clips out in front of the Canon was insane. Definitely an amazing experience stuffing the good ol’ Kia, driving out, and not returning until we got the clip. Shoutout to DLTD for keeping me in check when the days got rough. Now sit back and relax BECAUSE NOSE WHIP IS HERE TO STAY!” – Vicktor Flores

Sunday Bikes – Mark Burnett “Grow Up” Section

April 10, 2017

Sunday Bikes coming through with another banger of a section from their “Grow Up” DVD for your viewing pleasure. This time around we get Mark Burnett‘s section that’s filled with some serious rail and ledges savagery (is that even a word?) that will blow your mind. Mark is the definition of a grind technician, but he’s also not scared to huck a 540 off a huge drop, either. If you watch this BMX video and your jaw doesn’t drop or some combination of vulgar words don’t come flying out of your mouth, something is very wrong with you. Hit play and enjoy!

“Grow Up” Intro

“Shooting with Mark Burnett is a treat. As soon as Mark says he wants to film something, three things are already assumed: it’ll be really really hard, he’ll pull it, and it’ll be perfect.

This young man is unbelievably confident on his bike and will casually fire out hyper-elaborate tech combos and the most dangerous and intimidating stunts without breaking a sweat. Mark has this extraordinary ability to set aside any fear and lingering doubts and fully commit to every go. I guess it’s easy to be confident when you’re as comfortable on your bike as Mark clearly is.

It’s not hard to see how Mark rides at such a high level – his enthusiasm for riding is virtually unmatched. He’s always the one pushing for the night mission after a long day of filming, and he’ll happily solo sesh his flat rail for hours on end. His energy is seemingly limitless, and it spreads easily. Mark brings a lot of life to any situation.

Even with his abundant skill, Mark works for it. He’s constantly pushing his limits – it’s fair to say he goes down harder and more frequently than anyone else on the team (he has the ender crash section in the Grow Up bonus), but the struggle is no match for his determination. Mark shrugs off the most brutal wrecks and keeps going until he lands it or physically can’t continue.

Mark’s natural ability, boundless energy, unstoppable drive, and sheer love of riding make him the ultimate video part filming machine. These characteristics, matched with the nearly 100 days he spent on the road shooting for Grow Up, create a sort of perfect storm for an epic video part, and you really should check it out.” – Walter Pieringer

Sunday Bikes coming through with another “Grow Up” Section for your viewing pleasure!

Monday’s have not been as bad knowing that Sunday Bikes are dropping sections from their “Grow Up” DVD. This week, they have released the split section from Julian Arteaga, Jared Duncan and Alec Siemon for your viewing pleasure. These three might be the younger guys in the crew, but they bring plenty of heat to the table! Get on that play button for grind after grind of pure goodness.

After you watch that…

“Grow Up” Intro

“Julian Arteaga, Jared Duncan, and Alec Siemon – Sunday’s AM squad – are some crazy talented and creative bike riders who are each pushing BMX forward in their own unique way. Julian’s smooth and refined technical prowess, Jared’s uncanny ability to look like he’s not even trying, and Alec’s unprecedented tailwhip mastery are only the beginning of what makes these guys awesome. Grow Up focused mostly on Sunday’s pro riders, but there’s no question all three of these guys could have filmed full parts had they been given the opportunity. Rest assured, they’ll get their time to shine.” – Walter Pieringer

Sunday Bikes – “Grow Up” Intro

“Aaron Ross has been steady killing it as a top pro BMXer for more than a decade. That’s an impressive feat for any rider, but damn near unthinkable for someone who works as hard as Aaron. Check out his domination of the Grow Up crash trailer or his substantial contribution to the wrecks section in the Grow Up bonus, or just take my word for it – Aaron gives it his all. The physical and emotional anguish he endures for some of these clips is nothing short of breathtaking. But Aaron won’t be stopped, and he’s always willing to push himself to the limit to get done what he knows he can get done.

A great example: the barspin in Mexico, pictured above. It has to be one of the most impressive bike riding feats I’ve witnessed in 20-odd years of BMX. The barspin was wild in and of itself, but the conditions with which Aaron had to contend should have made it impossible. By the time he’d hopped the ledge a few times and was ready to throw the bars, there had to have been 100 people in that little square, most watching intently and filming with their phones while others carelessly cut him off on approach. Everybody spoke Spanish, and the language barrier meant Jake was having little luck playing crossing guard. The crowd booed when Aaron would take a run up. Imagine the pressure! Aaron got it done.

Aaron works hard on a lot of other things too. Between being a pro rider simultaneously filming for two full-length video parts (don’t miss his upcoming sure-to-impress Etnies Chapters part), a prolific social media enthusiast, a husband, a business owner (follow @burrocheese), and 100 other interests and endeavors I’m not thinking of, it’s hard to know how he finds enough hours in the day. Even with all that, Aaron has been known to personally answer almost every message and question sent to him over social media. Yep, he’s a pretty great guy too.

So check out Aaron’s part, it’s sick and the product of a lot of hard work.” – Walter Pieringer

Sunday – “Grow Up” Doubles Section

Full Factory – March Madness 2017 Jam

March 20, 2017

Whenever Full Factory throw a jam, you know it’s going to be a good time! THis past weekend they hosted their annual March Madness jam at their warehouse in California. Here’s a look at what went down from the Odyssey and Sunday Bikes team riders to some of the locals that came out for the day. It looks like everyone had a great time and plenty of dialed riding went down! Check it!

“March Madness at Full Factory was the epitome of what a jam should be. You really can’t go wrong with a plethora of ramps and grindable obstacles, free pizza, unlimited Kind Bars, everyone getting to shred with some of their favorite pros, the friggin’ Gauntlet Of Death, and some sweet deals on product from Full Factory brands Odyssey, Sunday, and GSport. Our friends at Full Factory organized a few mini contests, including Broc Raiford’s Highest Hop, which was won by Richard Hernandez at 42”, Jake Seeley’s Ledge Party was also dominated by Richard Hernandez—along with Austyn McIntosh, the Justin Spriet Flat Rail Challenge went to Jerimiha Miller, Hernandez also cleared 20’ 7” a clinched the Long Distance 180. Meanwhile, Hayden Scobie and John Wadlund were awarded the Gary Young Overall Shredder on the ramps and Austyn McIntosh took the Overall Shredder on street from Travis Hughes. And finally, Gauntlet Of Death… Justin Spriet told me he was going make it through on his first try, and sure as shit, he did—that might be the first one and done in Gauntlet Of Death history. Gary Young and Michael Napoli conquered the Gauntlet as well.” – Ride BMX

Sunday Bikes – Gary Young “Grow Up” Section

March 13, 2017

Gary Young’s section from the Sunday Bikes “Grow Up” DVD now online!

Sunday Bikes keeping the sections from their “Grow Up” DVD flowing! This week they have released Gary Young‘s section that’s packed full of amazing riding on street spots, skateparks and trails spots from California to China and plenty of places in between. As always, Gary brings a TON of style and makes everything look so good. Hit play and take this all in!

After you watch Gary’s section, make sure you check out the other sections here.

Brett Silva’s “Grow Up” Section

“Grow Up” Intro

“Gary Young is 33 years old, has been a pro rider for 15 years, and is at the top of his game. It’s hard to understand how after so much time as one of the most skilled BMXers on the planet Gary’s abilities could possibly continue to improve, but there’s no question – he’s never ridden better.

A big part of Gary’s sustained upward trajectory comes from how he keeps it fresh. Gary is nothing if not adaptable: he continues to evolve with BMX and embrace new forms of riding and changing bike setups while still maintaining his core pedal-to-the metal style of hauling ass and charging through any obstacle in his path. Gary rides everything, and he rides it at full speed and with unmatched authority.

Perhaps even more impressive, while filming for Grow Up, Gary also managed to be a devoted husband, raise a young daughter, celebrate the birth of his son Lincoln, ride in the X Games twice, and film his epic Vans Illustrated video part. If you don’t think that’s incredible, you don’t have even a passing understanding of how hard any one of those things is. Seriously, Gary’s the man, and his Grow Up part is sick.” – Walter Pieringer

Sunday Bikes – Jake Seeley “Grow Up”

March 6, 2017

On Friday, Sunday Bikes released the Intro to “Grow Up” and mentioned that they would begin uploading sections from the video starting with Jake Seeley today. Needless to say we’ve been refreshing Youtube over and over again in anticipation. Jake’s section is now live and it’s an absolute banger with some much amazing lines filled with technical grind combos and freecoaster action, along with so many unique and crazy setups. This is one section you cannot pass up watching! Hit play and enjoy!

“There are a lot of innovative riders in BMX, but I think of Jake Seeley as having his own brand of innovation. Some riders take BMX in entirely new directions with wildly different moves, while Jake uses many of the same building blocks as other modern street riders, but in ways nobody else is coming up with. The result is some beautifully imaginative combos and a unique form of riding that’s at once grounded in tradition and refreshingly different.

Don’t think any of this comes easy. It’s not uncommon for Jake’s attempts at a clip to number in the hundreds; that’s not a testament to a lack of skill or ability, but to how hard what Jake’s doing really is, and to how dedicated he is to making the crazy shit he cooks up happen.

The other thing about Jake is he’s a perfectionist. Jake will try something 100 times, pull it nearly perfectly, hate one almost imperceptible detail, and give it another 100 goes. There are clips in his Grow Up part he landed seven or eight times, still wasn’t happy with, and we had to convince him to use. I don’t think I’ve ever filmed with a rider with such high standards.

But man, I gotta say it’s all worth it. Check out his part and you’ll understand.” – Walter Pieringer
