Uncovered BMX – Stop 2: The Wheel Mill Highlights

Check out what went down at the second stop of the Uncovered BMX contest!

The Uncovered BMX contest series continues! This time around it landed at The Wheel Mill in Pittsburgh! As expected, there was a ton of riders that turned out from the young guns to the AM’s that were ready to throw down. Check out 12 minutes of footage showing you everything that went down!

“Uncovered BMX is the sickest new AM contest series dreamt up by Van Homan and Brian Kachinsky. Stop 2 took us to The Wheel Mill in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where absolute mayhem ensued. Gnarly crashes, ridiculous tech moves, and the straight savage hammers you’ve come to expect from “Mad Mike” Guth. Featuring George Duran, Jordan Capece, Mad Mike, Casey Starling, Jamie Thayer, Alex Leibrock, Adem Gunaydin, and many many more. Check out all of the highlights and stay tuned for stop 2 in February! Shout out to Van and Brian for putting on another kick ass event, and to the sponsors GT, Fit, Vans, Odyssey, and Source BMX for helping to make this all possible.

Results:

Semi Pro – 1st – George Duran, 2nd – Nick Fix, 3rd – Jordan Capece

Intermediate – 1st – Maxx Corbett, 2nd – Ryan Sanborn, 3rd – Tyler Cramer

Music by Psychic Lemon – psychiclemon.bandcamp.com / psychiclemon.wordpress.com” – Ride BMX

“The day of the Uncovered semi pro BMX competition here at the Wheel Mill Skatepark! So many amazing riders are here to compete against each other and push the limits of BMX bike riding as far as possible! There were so many riders doing some amazing tricks but one rider named Mad Mike stood out in particular to me, He goes by the name of Mad Mike and he is one of the most hardcore powerful BMX riders I have ever seen before! He did the craziest gap to grinds that has ever been done in BMX!” – Scotty Cranmer

Scotty Cranmer – Pump Track Showdown

Leave a Comment

The guys decided to see who could make it through The Wheel Mill pump track the fastest!

If you caught yesterdays video that Scotty Cranmer uploaded from a session the guys got in at The Wheel Mill, then you knew the guys were going to have a time trial on the pump track to see who is the fastest. Check out the video to see if anyone could beat Chris Doyle‘s time.

“At The Wheel Mill bike park we decided to have a race around the pump track while using the laser timing system! We met up with some of the local BMX riders including my old friend and fellow professional BMX rider Chris Doyle! Each rider had one chance to get there fastest lap around the track and it came down to the wire to decide the winner! Only one rider became the pump track race champion!” – Scotty Cranmer

Scotty Cranmer – Pittsburgh Road Trip

Leave a Comment

Scotty Cranmer, Big Boy and Ricky Hoffman invade Pittsburgh on a trip to ride and pick up one of Scotty’s new cars. Hit play to see how the trip went from the drive down to a session at a super fun looking park and The Wheel Mill!

“We took a road trip out to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania for 2 reasons, the first, to pick up something, the second, to ride BMX at some awesome skateparks and have a blast doing it! Ricky Hoffman, Big Boy, and myself hopped into my WRX STI and headed west! We went straight to the place to pick up the “Thing” I had to get then we went over to Carnegie skatepark to ride the awesome concrete skatepark! There were a lot of cool locals we met and rode with! And we all got some tricks in there before we raced over to The Wheel Mill indoor skatepark! The place is amazing and we all had such an awesome last hour of the session and tried our hardest to ride every ramp in the place! Big Boy smashed his nuts! It was hilarious! This is a 2 day video and in the next video we meet up with a special guest and ride another awesome skatepark so make sure you check it out tomorrow!”
