An Evening At Gorge Road

The Gorge Road Trails are on a yearly lease until they can find a new location, but that means that the trails are still up and running until that happens. A few guys from the U.K recently took a trip on down to Queenstown to spend some time getting in some laps! Check out what Tom Isted and crew threw down during an evening of BMX and MTB!

Featuring the locals and guests, including Ryan Howard and Tom Isted, who dropped by before heading north for Crankworx.

Leave a Comment

The Mongoose team were over in France for FISE the other week. While they were there, they spent some time with the Frenchys Distribution crew riding. Here’s a few clips they stacked during their time!

“We had the pleasure to get Pat Casey, Ben Wallace, Tom Isted and Brayden Barrett-Hay few days before the Fise World in Montpellier, so here is a chill video about riding a while around Lyon, and Sérignan.”

Mongoose En Costa Rica – Part 2

Leave a Comment

If you caught part one of Mongoose En Costa Rica and thought it was a little light on the riding, there is a reason! Part two is focused solely on the riding that went down during the trip and there was no shortage of clips! The intro to this video alone should get you stoked. Hit play to watch the guys go to work on a bunch of skateparks and street spots around the island! Excellent riding and solid film work. Can’t go wrong with this one!

“Mongoose en Costa Rica Part 2 is filled with top-notch riding from Kevin Peraza, Pat Casey, Ben Wallace, Tom Isted, Greg Illingworth and Paul Ryan. Watch as they hit concrete parks all over Costa Rica with some street clips sprinkled in. The trip is capped off with a demo at Kenneth Tencio’s park, 10Cio during its grand opening.”

Mongoose En Costa Rica – Part 1

It’s been awesome seeing all the moves Mongoose have been doing. Here’s a video from a full team trip down to Costa Rica where the crew soaked up the sunshine and, what appears to be, an endless supply of dialed setups to ride from skateparks to street spots and more. Here’s part one giving you a look at what the team got into during their visit on and off their bikes!

“The Mongoose BMX team was getting sick of riding in the cold, winter weather so they decided to head to someplace warm. The chosen spot was Costa Rica! It was sunny, warm and was exactly what we needed! With tour guide Kenneth Tencio in tow Kevin Peraza, Pat Casey, Paul Ryan, Ben Wallace, Greg Illingworth and Tom Isted got to check out the lovely Costa Rica and the amazing riding spots it had to offer! This is Part 1 of 2.”

Mongoose – Tom Isted: Home & Away

Leave a Comment

Mongoose coming through with a fresh batch of footage featuring Tom Isted throwing down at two different skateparks over in the U.K! Tom is one of those riders that not only has a very deep bag of tricks, but knows how to lay down a ton of style, too. This video is packed with some fast and smooth lines, big stretched no handers, a ton of flip combos like double backflips, superman backflips, flair whips and more! There’s even a caveman drop that’s bound to make you a little nervous with heights. You won’t want to pass this one up!

“Tom Isted made this video with two separate five-hour sessions at two different parks that are each three hours from his house. But he knows them so well that they feel like home to him. Watch Tom do some insane moves at Rush Skatepark and RampWorld.”

Fuse Protection – Tom Isted Welcome Video

Leave a Comment

Now this is what we’re talking about! Fuse Protection dropped this amazing new BMX video welcoming Tom Isted to their line up! Tom went to work absolutely crushing it at the Mount Hawke park (which we didn’t realize had a bunch of different parts to it), and Ryan Hallett made it look great with the film work. Highly suggest you give this one a watch!

“FUSE Protection proudly welcomes UK Park sensation Tom Isted to the team. Tom is one of the most talented riders emerging out of the UK park scene, and after being flowed FUSE pads through our distro CSG for a while now, we decided to make things official and add him to the crew. Enjoy over 3mins of Tom sending big tricks and even bigger transfers at his local skatepark in Cornwall, Mount Hawke.”
