“DATE NITE – THIS WON’T LAST (Full-Length BMX Video)
4 years.
3 cities.
Countless crashes.

Filmed in the gritty backstreets and forgotten corners of Dayton, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh, THIS WON’T LAST is a full-length BMX video born from busted pegs, late-night missions, and a crew that refused to quit.

From DIY spots to sketchy rails, crusty alleys to abandoned lots — this is what it looks like when you ride for the love, not the likes. No brands, no handouts. Just raw clips, heavy sessions, and the kind of memories you can’t fake.

Riders: Tony Cherry, Joel Sutton, Joey Vance, Scott Steele, BJ & Gunnar Shiverdecker, Troy Merkle, Bryan Reynolds, Mike Vitatoe, Zach North, Brandon Dosch, Tyler Wogoman, Greg Goldberg, Ellie

Filmed & Edited by: Tony Cherry

Thanks to everyone who held the camera, opened a spot, or just showed up. This one’s for the homies. Shirts and DVD’s available https://d8nite.bigcartel.com”
