Christian Rigal “Still United” Files

February 15, 2017

A look into what went into Christian Rigal’s “Still United” section…

There’s no denying that Christian Rigal went all in on his “Still United” section, and this is a good reminder of that. Here’s a TON of b-roll, crashes, random clips and more that didn’t quite make the cut for the actual part.

“We are huge fans of Still United at DIG so we’re real psyched on this series of raw bonus, unseen and behind-the-scenes footage from the DVD. We’ll have one of these dropping every Wednesday through February and March so keep your eyes peeled on http://digbmx.com – Next up is the realest of rail slayers, Christian Rigal! We were there for a lot of Christian’s section getting filmed and it was inspiring to watch someone go into something with such a level of commitment. Don’t miss his extras right here. That last rail to fence gap… woah.

United – Mike Escamilla “Caveman” Video

January 11, 2017

It’s always a good day when some new Mike Escamilla footage drops online! Here’s his new one for United promoting his signature Caveman Frame with the built-in Bash Guard! Hit play to watch Mike put the frame to good use on street spots, pools, trails and more. Gotta love that mix of front brake magic in there, too! Amazing riding, dialed spots and some clean film work. Massive Bonus points for mixing in the legends Brian Castillo, Keith Treanor, Ian Morris, Ron Kimler, Jason Enns, Andrew Lazaruk and Brian Terada into this one, too! This one made us want to go out and ride so bad. Highly, highly advise you give this a watch!

“After putting out his first section for the infamous Dirty Deeds way back in 1994, Mike ‘Rooftop’ Escamilla has released yet another belter of a part for his new United Caveman bashguard frame, some 20 years later and with multiple video sections in between. That’s a truly incredible feat in itself – how many other Pro riders can say the same? Filmed in 17 days, Mike really put himself through the ringer for this, but damn it was worth it – oh and just look at the list of names in the bonus clips, that’s a hell of a crew of legends and friends to be building your run-ins for you! Here’s what Mike had to say about the filming process:
“We filmed this in 17 actual days over the past 3 months, in all of my years filming and riding I’ve never fought so hard against, weather, spots, schedules and injuries trying to film. I also never thought I would film a section again, so with that this is what we ended up with. It was fun to actually try and film again, so many great spots that most or nobody has ever seen. which finding them with the crew was truly the best part of making this edit. I wanna give a real thanks to Andrew Lazaruk and Brian Terada both who honestly helped so much making spots ridable do to weather or whatever. they did more work than I did. Without them it would not of happened in the small window we had to do it…this is for you boys! Cheers.” – Mike Escamilla

United In Berlin

January 1, 2017

United Bike Co.‘s squad over in Europe decided to spend some time in Berlin, Germany exploring the spots and stacking clips. Here’s a dialed video that came from the trip that’s filled with some smooth lines, big grinds, plenty of style and more for you to start the new year off right!

“It’s 2017 and we’re getting futuristic in here! Sometimes things just hit and that’s exactly the case with this new one from United’s young’ns, Sebastian Anton, Fernando Laczko, Tom Deville, Jordan O’Kane and Harry Mills-Wakley in Berlin. The level of progression from these five seems like it just went through the roof on this trip – and not only is the tech strong with this crew but they sure aren’t scared to send it either. Get your robots, glow sticks and face paint out for this cross-era hybrid mashup via the new and improved lens of Peter Adam. The future is now..

United X Thomas Hooper

December 12, 2016

United teamed up with tattoo artist and BMX rider Thomas Hooper on a collaboration frame that features Thomas’ own design. This video gives you a little insight into the process of creating the design and what went into making it all. This is pretty rad! Check it!

“Thomas Hooper revisits his childhood riding spot, Sidley Woods and also a guest stop at Two Snakes Tattoo to talk to Peter Adam about the limited edition frame wrap he collaborated with United on. If you’re unaware of Thomas Hooper, he is one of the world’s most sought after tattoo artists who grew up in the legendary UK BMX hotspot, Hastings and now years on has reignited his passion for riding a 20″ bike. Seriously cool stuff.
