This video isn’t focused on just biking clips or just bangers as most videos within BMX do. The fact people are afraid to think out of the box in our passion made me really run on a different track. So I felt that somebody had to make a difference on this. My purpose on this video is to put the viewer in context of different interpretations on what BMX means and how much it takes over the way of looking at things. And a lot of riders in this world aren’t conscious perceiving these points.
I wanna create the ability for people to experiment more within BMX & its art. Open doors and show theres no rules. You can go as crazy as you want.
All clips are shot with my handycam & all the music you’ll hear are self produced unreleased songs.
The teams are made up of the top ranking athletes of each Nation from E-FISE Montpellier 2020 and the videos are jam-packed overviews of the best urban sports shots from the contest. Teams are battling it out for invitations to the world's biggest action sports festival, FISE Montpellier. Fans also have the chance to win, as each time they vote they're entered into a weekly draw to win FISE Apparel prizes. All the Nation's videos are now available to watch, and it's currently Mexico that is leading the contest with more than 1300 votes. Followed by Brazil, Colombia and Argentina, it seems that Latin America knows how to make it happen.
From the inspiring true story of extreme sports legend John Buultjens, THE RIDE follows John McCord, an athletically gifted youth who triumphs over a troubled upbringing. After a violent, racially-charged incident lands John (Shane Graham) in juvenile detention, he is finally placed with an unlikely set of foster parents, Eldridge ('Ludacris') and Marianna Buultjens (Sasha Alexander), an interracial couple who want to provide a fresh start for the tormented youth.
Eldridge makes it his mission to overcome the challenges of John’s white supremacist upbringing and slowly begins to forge a relationship through his foster son’s fascination with extreme sports by giving John his first bike. Rooted by this newfound passion, the family builds a bond of mutual respect, love and together they speed toward BMX glory and ultimately, redemption.
THE RIDE exclusively on Prime Video beginning November 13, 2020

Written by J.R. Reher & Jean Marie Sobeck, Hadeel Reda, Alex Ranarivelo
Based on Life of John Buultjens

Vans Partners With CULT On New Head-to-Toe Collection, Led by The Versa Hoodie
Two of the world’s most iconic BMX brands have teamed up yet again to release the Vans x CULT collection, a head-to-toe offering of apparel and footwear that reflects storied histories, Southern California roots, and a shared roster of BMX riders, including freestyle powerhouse and 2021 Olympic hopeful Angie Marino. The collection leads with the Versa Hoodie in orange, featuring water-repellant STORM COTTON technology and printed CULT Checkerboard art down both sleeves. For Angie, the Versa is more than just another comfy staple in her collection of Vans x CULT collaborations: “I love that it has a Velcro pocket for your phone so when you’re riding or being active it won’t bounce out,” she said, adding that she always looks forward to what the two brands will create together.
Just in time for the winter holidays, etnies releases a new Michelin package today unveiling the Veer in lustrous yellow and the classic Marana in brilliant blue. Tried, tested and proven to be three times more durable than regular rubber outsoles, etnies and Michelin have hit pole position with the Marana and Veer once again.
Remaining a skateboarding shoe, household name and a fans favourite for over eight years, the Marana got even tougher with the reinvented Michelin outsole. The Marana features a fused on, injected rubber toe cap for incredible longevity and hidden lace loops to protect and withstand countless flicks. For added comfort and performance, the Marana includes a padded tongue, collar and Pro Foam 1 insole, all sitting atop of a cupsole formulated with Michelin rubber.
