Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:38:29 PST

Everyday something original and entertaining pops up on the internet and today is no exception as a 3 minute short film titled "THE MAN WHO LIVED ON HIS BIKE" is captivating peoples attention.

Guillaume Blanchet spent 382 days riding his bike through the streets of Montreal living what appears to be a normal everyday life on his bike. He dedicates the short film to his father, Yves Blanchet where he first got his love for riding a bike.

Here's a quick breakdown of..

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 18:16:35 PST

Liam finally found a solid home and we are all fully stoked that he found a good company to support him. It's rare that kids this young mature this much in their riding, and even rarer that it comes with a unique style. Watch his Kink video below and check out his 18" rig below the video... Congrats, buddy!

The Con's Kriss Kyle

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 04:15:12 PST

The Con produces some swaggerful shirts and beanies... Kriss Kyle produces amazing footage... So what you end up with is swaggerful clips where Kriss Kyle does a variety of things including a wallride to barrel roll... Essentially.

Chick Flick Trailer (All-Female BMX DVD)

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 04:04:35 PST

Chick Flick is well on its way and the trailer below is the final promo before release. The girls are really doing it up and showing it at the Kalamazoo Bicycle Film Festival. I really like watching the girls ride because they all have their own style and a sense of camaraderie.

SE's Kris Fox

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 02:39:58 PST

I love this super BMX style. True racing style mixed with flow developed from trails and bowls. Kris is the type of guy I would put in the dictionary under "BMX rider". I'd put a photo of his last clip right there saying the kind of guy that pedals his ass off and launches over (way over) an 8-foot-tall fence. That's a BMX rider.

Cult's Let 'Em Talk Full Length ONLINE!

Wed, 18 Jan 2012 17:06:23 PST

There's nothing better than a great full length ending up online. Love when companies like Mutiny and Cult do this because you'll probably only see the DVD in bike stores, but the internet can send things anywhere. This may be the movie that some kid watches and begins riding... Click to watch.

Brad Simms... He Will Bunnyhop Over You

Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:31:11 PST

In between Brad and Ty, large objects are being touched by bicycles that weren't designed to. This is probably Brad's highest achievement thus far and I am STILL asking the industry for a legitimate bunnyhop contest between Simms, Wise, and Morrow but they're not delivering. That's why this industry is lame.

Austin Coleman Lands 360 Triple Downside Whip

Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:19:50 PST

Physics took another slap in the face today thanks to action sports athletes who played Dave Mirra's video game as children and grew up treating bicycles like they are razor scooters; spinning, whipping, and flipping beyond anyone's imagination. Here's Austin Coleman, who took third in this contest but first in best trick and in our hearts, landing a 360 triple downside whip, meaning the whipping tail end of the bike counter spins the actual rider's rotation.

Nigel Sylvester Starting a Bike Brand?

Fri, 06 Jan 2012 17:09:55 PST

Nigel Sylvester has left Mirraco and is said to already have plans for his next venture, which sound like a new brand he will be running. It's also possible that he would simply join another brand such as Skavenger but given Nigel's position in the industry and his entrepreneurship it's more likely he will begin his own brand. Take from these quotes what you will, here's what Nigel and Mirraco president Jim Ford had to say about the changes:

Wed, 28 Dec 2011 10:51:03 PST

2011 was a year filled with memorable moments including Kelly Slater's 11th world title, Olympic status being granted in multiple snow disciplines, several new tricks were landed, a massive swell in Tahiti, world-records being shattered, a new women's surfing world champ...the list goes on.

With all the great stories in 2011 came some NOT so top stories as well. Here's our top 5 most ridiculous, unfortunate, awkward, over-hyped, and miscalculated stories from 2011.

RIP Dane Searls Giants of Dirt Video

Mon, 26 Dec 2011 15:40:59 PST

Just a month ago, the BMX community lost one of the best dirt jumpers on the scene that was pushing the limits of dirt, which can be noted as the initial riding terrain of BMX. Dane was true to the dirt scene and never stopped seeking out the feeling of flying through a line. No video shows this more than the last one we will see from the late Dane Searls. Here's the finale to the Giants of Dirt series, where Dane takes dirt bigger than anyone before and confirms his legacy as one of the..

United BMX's Downtime (Full Length DVD) Now ONLINE!

Mon, 26 Dec 2011 14:05:44 PST

United is no newcomer to producing great videos and not just online either. This Is United was a great success but the hard copy DVD has its downfalls that probably kept this next production web exclusive. Watch the entire video below or go to United's website to download it to your computer/phone. You can't go wrong with a team like this.

Over one weekend we would transform a small part of the Beverland farm into a bike riding heaven.http://redbullusa.comSUBSCRIBE

Drew Bezanson is back!

Tue, 13 Dec 2011 09:48:43 PST

Injuries have plagued Drew for the past few years but he's back on the horse and going back to the things he loves. Going fast, going high, and simply doing things other riders wouldn't think of. Ahhh, refreshing...

Daniel Sandoval (720 whip to barspin)

Tue, 13 Dec 2011 09:25:37 PST

Even if you hate park riding, you have to watch this. Sort of a year in the life of Daniel Sandoval, or at least the end of 2011. Daniel works his ass off for a 720 whip to barspin and nails it. Not sure what the facts are behind that trick, but it's the first time I've seen it.
