BTN BMX – Brighton’s Ready – Yakob Swyer 2013-2015

September 27, 2016

It has been a while since we’ve seen a BMX video out of Yakob Swyer, but he just sent through his latest video from some of the skatepark and street sessions he has been getting in for the past few years. As always, Yakob brings a unique approach to a lot of spots most people wouldn’t even think of, along with a few unique tricks for good measure. Hit play and get a look at just what he has been sitting on for so long!

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

June 10, 2014

The Merged just dropped a banger of a review of the Wethepeople Sterling frame and fork that they got their hands on to test! Check out the video of Yakob Swyer putting the kit to the test and then check out the review!

“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 – Raw Footage Wet Sessions

January 27, 2014

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!

Dave has been on it with sending over awesome edits lately. Here’s a fresh one from his friend Yakob Swyer that is loaded with some real creative riding.
