Rest In Peace, Fids

December 9, 2024

BMX lost an absolute legend this past weekend.

This morning we woke up to the news that U.K BMX legend The Fids has passed away after an illness. Fids was a massive part of the BMX scene over in the U.K, and his impact was felt and seen around the world at events and more. This is a big loss. Rest in Peace, Fids. You will not be forgotten.

Here’s some words from Source BMX about the news.

“It’s with a very heavy heart that we write this post. Our dear Friend Fids sadly died yesterday after a short illness.

Fids has been a constant in our lives and the BMX scene not only locally here in Hastings but Worldwide for what seems like forever. Always the best and always the most fun – Fids you will be sorely missed and never forgotten.

Rest in peace friend.

Marc, Rich, Matt and everyone at Source.

Red Bull – Encouraged 2

July 10, 2024

Courage Adams fulfills his promise of building the first park in Nigeria.

Back in 2020, Courage Adams first Encouraged video from Red Bull dropped following Courage as he made his way back to Nigeria where he was born to meet the locals and check out the scene. During that trip, he promised those guys that he would make the first park in Nigeria happen, and two years later it finally happened. Red Bull dropped this video documenting the project from start to finish with the help of Ryan Corrigan, Paul Cvikevich, The Fids and the locals. We’re not sure why it took 2 years to release the video, but we’re stoked to finally see it.

“An Emotional Journey to Inspire the Next Generation of Nigerian BMX Riders.

Courage Adams returns to Nigeria to fulfill his promise to build the first ever skatepark in Lagos, giving local BMX fanatics the opportunity to push the limits of the local sports scene.” – Red Bull

September 1, 2016

Well… That’s one way to get the invites out!
