March 23, 2024

A session at the Hellsend Trails in South Africa!

You can’t go wrong with a video when it’s at a trails spot as dialed as the Hellsend Trails in South Africa! Here’s a look at what went down when a few heavy hitters rolled through for a session after the Ultimate X contest a few weeks back.

“Would you look at those trails for just a second…pure perfection. Catch a session with Kevin Peraza, Anthony Jeanjean, Daniel Sandoval, Bryce Tryon, and more at this breathtaking set of trails in Pineal, South Africa.

Monster Energy Hits Cape Town

April 7, 2023

The Monster Energy BMX team spent some time in Cape Town!

A little while back the Monster Energy team took a trip down to South Africa for the Ultimate X contest. While they were there, they hit up some parks and trails, along with the contest. Here’s a look at what they got into during their trip! As expected, plenty of wild riding to see from the crew!

“Nothing like a Cape Escape to beat the harsh winter in the northern hemisphere. The Monster BMX team head out to Cape Town, South Africa to kick off the 2023 contest season at Ultimate X.

Straight off the plane, the crew wasted no time brushing off the jet lag to soak up the sun, sights, and spots on offer. From laying down heavy lines at the newly built City Bowl Park bowl, to dreamy dirt laps at the picturesque Hellsend Dirt Compound, wrapping it all up with big sends and a full podium sweep at Ultimate X.

Featuring: Kevin Peraza, Anthony Jeanjean, Tom Van Den Bogaard, Jose “Maligno” Torres, Mike Varga, Jeremy Malott, Pat Casey and Daniel Sandoval.

Dream Session At Hellsend Dirt Compound

March 28, 2023

Check out a heavy session at the Hellsend Dirt Compound!

Here’s an awesome video Freedom BMX put together from a session at the Hellsend Dirt Compound in South Africa where a bunch of heavy hitters rolled in for a proper session. Check out what went down with riding from Kevin Peraza, Boyd Hilder and more! This place looks like a ton of fun to ride!

“Before the “Ultimate X” contest in Kapstand started, @MonsterEnergy invited to a relaxed session on the trails of the legendary Hellsend Dirt Compound. You already know that is the bike park where, among other things, the Darkfest takes place.

After the BMXers had examined the huge mountain bike lines (uff!), it was off to the dirt jumps, where an official session developed in the South African evening sun in front of an epic backdrop, with Kevin Peraza, Anthony Jeanjean, Mike Varga, Tom van that Boggard and Boyd Hilder massaged the hills. Incidentally, the latter was on a borrowed bike that was completely different from his personal set-up, which the airline he had traveled with had unfortunately wasted away somewhere.

After the session, Monster donated a big barbecue and hectoliters of cold drinks on site. Thanks a lot for this! We can only agree with the French Quinton Morlen, who said on the way back to the hotel: “This was one of the best days of my life!”

PS: A much longer raw edit from the session at Hellsend Dirt Compound will follow shortly. Stay tuned!

VANS “MASH” – TRANSITION

April 16, 2021

Now this is how you start the weekend off right! Vans dropped this brand new “MASH” mix that is over 4 minutes of transitions and trails from their squad in Europe! Sergio Layos, Paul Thoelen, Greg Illingworth, Tom Van Den Bogaard and Teresa Fernandez ALWAYS deliver, so you know this is an absolute MUST SEE. Hit play now!

“We’ve got a really sick two part mixtape series for you courtesy of the VANS squad! Since all their team projects had to be cancelled due to covid, their riders wanted to be active and do their part as soon as they were allowed to go out and be safe again. But with very limited travel options, they all kept it local in their region (or wherever was allowed) and asked their homies to press on that red button. Rich Forne then took the footage and created two heavy mixtape MASH videos. First up is MASH Transition; with Sergio Layos, Paul Thoelen, Greg Illingworth, Tom Van Den Bogaard and Teresa Fernandez.

Look out for the street mixtape next Friday right here on DIG!” – DIG

First Marks – Paul Thölen & Tom van den Bogaard

July 2, 2020

Daaaaaang this place looks amazing! Freedom BMX just uploaded this new one featuring Paul Tholen and Tom van den Bogaard getting some laps in at this amazing new park in Eberswalde over in Germany! These guys both bring a good mix of style, plenty of boost and speed to this place. Hit play and start wishing you had this place to ride every day!

“Paul Thölen and Tom Van Den Bogaard were recently in Eberswalde to test the new bowl from Schneestern. You won’t find any rails and ledges here, there is a lot of smooth concrete, perfect for smooth lines and a lot of airtime. The facility in the forest sports facility Eberswalde-Finow consists of a large concrete bowl and a pump track that leads around the outside. “Flow” is the magic word here. What a damn cool part! But see for yourself …
