March 20, 2025

Yakob Swyer handles Hampshire.

It has been a while since we’ve seen Yakob Swyer‘s name pop up on an edit, but we were stoked to see Ride UK dropped a new one for you to check out. Hit play as Yakob gets creative at a few different parks over in the U.K! Plenty of gems you don’t see all too often these days packed into this one.

“Yakob Swyer brings the heat for BMX day out in Hampshire, tearing through Petersfield and Bordon skateparks with effortless flow and technical precision. From smooth transition lines to big airs and creative street combos, this video captures the raw energy and skill that define Yakob’s riding.

Yakob Swyer – Left Overs

September 25, 2015

Sam White just hit us with a link to a new video featuring Yakob Swyer putting in some work on a few street spots over in the U.K! It’s pretty wild what a super dialed camera can do for some real good riding. This is one BMX video worth checking out on this fine Friday!

“I recently had a 36 hour rental of a DJI Ronin. Having never shot with one before I was keen to get some practice in the evening before my shoot. So I dropped Yakob a line and out we went to a local spot. The outcome is this short but sweet video, mixed in with a few rogue clips that had never made it off my external hard drive. Enjoy.
I also utilised James Miller’s a7s DELUTS for the first time, seriously impressed.” – Sam White

“The fine folks at Wethepeople sent us over a new Pete Sawyer signature Sterling Frame and Fork to test out so we sent them off to our contributor and pegless street machine Yakob Swyer to build up and see what he could get filmed in a few days.

Yakob Swyer has been helping out over on The Merged for a while now and we’ve seen some riding photos from him surface, but never any footage. Check out this video Edward Ballinagl put together from a few wet sessions at his local park and a parking garage. This is a good change of pace from what we see everyday. Hell yeah, Yakob!

Over the last year or so, we’ve been seeing a bunch of Sam White’s videos popping up in the Daily Section. In that time, we’ve become quite a fan of his work and recently found out he’s also into shooting photos. We recently received a sample of some of his recent photos from the past few months and figured we wouldn’t keep them to ourselves. Check out this brand new photogallery featuring Yakob Swyer, Stan Cassidy, Malick Cham, Ben Cruse and more by clicking the link below!
