Animal Bikes have uploaded their “The Animal House” video on to their Vimeo channel for your viewing pleasure. This BMX video is just under 18 minutes of pure goodness from most of their crew as they spent an entire month cruising New York City with filmer Ryan Navazio stacking clips. Needless to say, with a crew like this, plenty of heat went down. This is a MUST SEE for sure.

With appearances from most of our team riders including Tyrone Williams, Garrett Hoogerhyde, Tom White, Matt Miller, Dan Lacey, Brendan Reith and many more.”
