The Come Up BMX 
The Shadow Conspiracy‘s own team manager Ryan Chadwick and am rider Eric Bahlman take to the Glendale park in Arizona for an afternoon session filmed by Bobby Kanode. Chadwick is one of the better riding TM’s in the game and Bahlman is a freecoast wizard, so this edit is no slouch. Good stuff, boys!
Read post →Sam Lowe recently got a pair of signature grips from We The People and is using them to kill handrails in this new edit. Sam is a beast and I’m psyched to see he’s getting these. Also, if you need a reminder as to how crazy Sam really is, watch his Primo section from a few years ago.
The latest in our ongoing how to series; here we have Alex Raban showing you how to get your crooked grind on. He does a bunch of wild stuff at the end including a crook 180 bar up a rail so even if you’re already a crook master, give this a watch and subscribe to our How To Youtube channel. Follow Alex Raban on Twitter.
This is our third how to, you can also learn to smith hard 180 with Grant Casteluzzo and learn to bunnyhop with Sean Morr.
Coming next week, Kevin Porter and the backwards manual.
Dan Norvell, Tom Villarreal, and Shawn McIntosh manage to put together a quick edit with Miles Rogoish in just twenty minutes. You might think that with such little time the riding might not be anything special, but it’s not the case. All the dudes come through with some worth while clips.

There is a report circulating that Dave Mirra died in a car crash recently, but the story is completely false. Apparently it’s been going around for a week or more, but after hearing that people are still reading it and believing it, a post seemed to be in order. More info after the jump.

Nasty, Scotty Cranmer, Ryan Guettler, Gary Young and more face off in a fun race to see who is the fastest at a USA BMX event in Phoenix. With Gary in the mix, you’d think that he would have an easy victory, but that’s not the case. Can you guess who will take the win? See if you are right, after the jump.

Here’s a new series that Volume are doing; Five Songs. Basically the rider (in this case, LA’s Daniel “Lil D” Martinez) gets some riding in and all the while, tells you about some songs that he’s been listening to. Mike Mastroni put this together so you know the footage looks good.
Oh, also, cue boring elitist hip hop commenters going berserk in the comments.
I’ve taken the initiative to embed the all the songs in question after the jump so that you can listen to them in full if you’re interested.

This is what going out filming/shooting photos is actually like. You’re lucky to hit 3 spots, the weather attempts to fuck you over all day and if you’re lucky, you get 6 seconds of footage towards your next project. The last rail set up Millsy does in this is so awesome even though he didn’t get the tire ride he wanted.
Federal.
Earlier this week Dan Lacey hit up the Seventies Warehouse to build up a new whip for an upcoming trip to the states. He went with the star blue 21″ version of his Federal signature frame and swagged it out with a bunch of parts from the Seventies brands. Must be nice being a distro rider! Check out the full rundown after the jump.

“We wanted to make something focusing on the smaller, jibbery kind of stuff that we jib-roni’s have been up to in the 831. Cruise around, find stuff, mess around having fun on it, right?“- Andy Maguire
If you are into videos from AM:PM or 90 East, this might be up your alley. That disaster 180 on stairs is bizarre and awesome.
James Pinko rides with a style that the older crowd is sure to appreciate, but hopefully all demographics can get into it. I haven’t seen this many kickflips in an edit in a long time, and I’m loving it.

Check out this talented crew from Kraków, Poland. The filming is rough around the edges and the video quality is low, but these guys’ riding more than makes up for it. Check out the smith the ice 180 at 1:24, I’ve never seen one look that smooth in my life. Not the rollout maybe, but the transition from smith to ice is amazing. The only thing smoother is the banger clip, which is dead on perfection.

ESPN has just released what they are calling the first wave of riders invited to this year’s XGames. Last year they announced more riders and the two alternates in June, so maybe we’ll see some gaps filled then. Notable exclusions include: Simone Barraco in street, Joe Rich in vert, Walter Peringer in Big Air & everyone in dirt. Check out the full list after the jump.

United just released their 2013 completes catalog with Christian Rigal on the cover doing a damn amazing uprail to gap over an L! It’s really well put together, and features some great shots of the rest of the team including Nathan Williams, Corey Martinez, Geoff Slattery, and the Forte Brothers. Check after the jump to view the full catalog.

Jeremy Pavia has been on a roll with his weekly Through the Lens features and the latest gives you a pretty comprehensive breakdown of a photo he shot with Ryan “Biz” Jordan while filming his Verde SoCal edit. I wish there were articles like this when I started shooting bmx because the insight Jeremy gives you is so detailed and spot-on. Get the link, a few excerpts and a re-up of the edit this photo came from after the jump.

Due to the overwhelming response of their last giveaway, The Shadow Conspiracy are giving away another pair of Seth Kimbrough’s signature Noctis cranks on May 29th. This round is open worldwide, so head over to the Shadow Facebook page, give it a like, share & comment on the giveaway post and you’re all set.
For the past month or so the MacNeil team set up shop in Long Beach and flew out a handful of their guys to ride and film. The first of several edits features Chris Silva, Jaumell Campbell, Taylor Elvy, Jeff Kocsis, and Andrew Lazaruk. While this section is on the chiller side riding-wise, it feels like a dope dvd intro (or an old Lotek mixtape), setting the pace for what’s to follow. Definitely looking forward to seeing more of this trip.
Amazing. Rooftop and Gabe Brooks team up for the best collaborative ad I’ve ever seen for Demolition. Check out Gabe Brooks’ most recent edit for Demolition while you’re still in awe of the photo.
