Vinyl BMX – U.K and France Trails Trip 2022

December 13, 2022

A week cruising some amazing trails spots from the U.K to France!

Here’s a rad one Tom Arkus uploaded on the Vinyl BMX channel from a trip he took with Mark Potoczny and David Leep to ride trails over in the U.K and France this past summer. Here’s a look at what went down during some of the sessions at a handful of very dialed spots.

“Damn did it feel good to go to Europe after Covid Lockdowns. Carley, Myself, Leep and Protoz decided we will visit the Meca of trails in England. This was all filmed on a iPhone at our leisure. We spent over a week in the U.K. Riding then we ended up going to Normandy, France for Gillians massive Jam.

Featuring: Mark Potoczny, David Leep, Gillian, Marc, Red Belge, Foessy, Cam McCreadie, Wilson Haines, Sven Littfinski, Max Dunn, Phil Auckland, Antoine Morvan, Phil Muesli, Martin Wardle, Michael Hanfler, JB Bagnol, Jonathan Faulkner, Chad Cowell, Sam Hooker, Dimitris Araouzos, and Friends.

Very huge thank you to all the locals that let us blow up the trail spots and homes, till next time homies!

Vinyl BMX – ID

April 4, 2021

Whenever Vinyl BMX drops a new video, we know we’re going to be in for a treat. This is a new mix of footage from the past few years with solid riding and filmwork at some of the best trails spots. Needless to say, if you’re looking to get your trails fix in, this is the one you’re going to watch. It sounds like Tom Arkus is sitting on a ton of footage and we might be getting a few more of these videos this year, which would be pretty damn rad since there aren’t enough trails videos popping up these days, and usually the footage and / or editing is pretty rough. Check it!

“A long overdue montage of some really incredible spots in Pennsylvania and England. This video features sick riders from the U.S. & Europe. Nate Halahan, Luke Halahan, Dunny, Brian Coleman, Tom Arkus, Chase Zink, Steven Mueller, Mark Potoczny, Mike Potoczny, Foerske, Red Belg, Gillian, Bentley, Cam McCreadie, Brandon Christie, Pi, Weexly, Dimitri, Phil, David Leep, Wingham homies, Gro Trails Crew, & Friends.

Part two of the Vinyl BMX trip down under has arrived. The first part was footage from their time in Australia (Vinyl BMX – Australia Trip 2020 – Part 1).

This looks like it was a ton of fun!

Vinyl BMX – Australia Trip 2020 – Part 1

November 24, 2020

This year has been terrible for traveling, but it looks like Tom Arkus was able to get a trip to Australia in back before the shutdowns and everything got crazy. Here’s part 1 from the trip packed with non-stop trails goodness! Hit play and take it all in. We’re definitely looking forward to part 2!

“Gillian from GroTrails put together a neat video from the beginning of 2020. We as a group ended up making it to this years HVT Jam. As soon as we got home, first week of March Covid-19 hit us all at once… I feel like we will have plenty of content stashed away to keep some of you entertained throughout the winter.” – Vinyl BMX

It has been a while since we’ve seen a video pop up on the Vinyl BMX Vimeo account! Here’s a fresh one from some of the sessions going down in the woods and Tom Arkus‘ driveway trails out in Pennsylvania in this new video Tom put together featuring a bunch of familiar faces like Mark and Mike Potoczny, Chris Doyle, Mason Ritter, Bobby Valentine, the Halahan brothers and more.

Vinyl BMX – First Hits Dyke Out

July 27, 2014

It’s always exciting when a new jump gets finished up and then it gets a little tense when you have to figure out who goes at it first to see if it works. Vinyl dropped this new edit of Mark Potoczny, Ryan Popple and Tom Arkus having their way with a new line at Hazelwood out in PA. Take a peek!

“This is as raw as it gets, watch us test a new jump that we have been working on for the last 6 months. Once the new Dyke Out jump got opened up we tried syncing some trains together for a nicer effect.”
