Following the success of UNFILTERED, VANS launches the third episode of this unique video series, each one featuring two VANS BMX riders traveling the globe visiting different destinations. Simplicity at its best – riders in unique environments, embracing new cultures and landing tricks whilst being captured in a non traditional and unpolished way. This series aims to focus on the true essence of BMX filming, blend that with today’s standard of riding in BMX and it allows for the ‘riding to do the talking’!
UNFILTERED UAE features Matthias Dandois and Alex Valentino exploring a region full of contrasts and breathtaking in all facets. From remote desert villages and landscapes, to the modern civilizations
Created with award-winning technology and input from our professional riders and teams, we are proud to launch our highly ventilated and lightweight DH and Enduro specific full face helmet, the Coron Air Carbon SPIN. Designed specifically for the needs of modern day DH and Enduro riders, the Coron Air Carbon SPIN has been developed to maximise ventilation, safety and comfort, whilst minimizing weight so that riders to can be protected with advanced technology as they pedal and play with gravity.
The multi-impact helmet has been designed for competition level performance and is certified for downhill racing. Jonas Sjögren, POC CEO said – “Over the years we have built up a great deal of experience supporting athletes at the very pinnacle of their sports and we wanted to develop a full face helmet that would meet the needs of modern day riders, with the very best in performance, protection, ventilation and all-day comfort.
Last weekend saw the first ever swiss stop of the Ride Further Tour at Europe’s biggest trend sport indoor park SKILLS PARK, and we couldn’t have asked for a better start into the season: amazing riding, a great crowd and awesome vibes! 20 pro riders were invited to the first event of the year in Switzerland to compete at two very different setups: a park and bowl contest.
The weekend started of with the park competition on Saturday with amazing runs by Zozo Kempf (HUN) with a 720 bar over the box, the Tall Order team
with Tom Graves and Matt Harris (UK) who rode with tons of english steeze and Lotta Grüber (GER), the only female rider in the competition who showed off NacNacs, Tobogans and Tabletops.
First place went to Sergio Layos (ESP), who secured his win with a Pocket Wallride 180 out to halfcab followed by Alessio Tonoli (CH) with an almost
impossible transfer over one of the biggest gaps in the park and Jonas Lindemair (DE) with a 360 Whip to Invert.
Celebrations continued well into the night at Kraftfeld Club before going into the bowl contest the next morning.The Bowl Battle was conducted in a knock-out format and it was Sergio Layos who came out on top one round after the other with unbelievably clean and stylish runs, lookdowns and a wallride transfer, happily taking home the win on two consecutive days: “It was such a fun weekend! Thank you so much for everything!”

The Urodi crew out of Kharkiv, Ukraine are a wild bunch. Their latest video endeavor, "Fuckers Five" is one hour's worth of a raw, unfiltered glimpse into their world; it's very apparent that between their camaraderie, carefree demeanor, and no-fucks-given attitude, they know how to have a good time, both on and off the bikes.
“Fed Up with The Bullshit – Act Like You Know Crew’s 4th full-length video. Three solid years of dedication from the usual cast, plus a few new soldiers we’ve handed the torch down to. No sponsors, no travel budgets, no ‘practicing’ – just straight riding from the bottomless pits of East Coast and Midwest cities." - alykcru.com
