Berlin is no Barcelona, but the city does have it's fair share of good spots, a laid-back atmosphere and a top-notch night life to boot. Lewis Rogers, Rory McLean, David McKean and Luke Jackson took a trip from Scotland to the German capitol, where they met up with Federal's newest recruit, Wibke Vogel. Jacob Campbell captured it all for 'Nächste", which is now available for your viewing pleasure. Good stuff!

Many people know Lara Lessmann as a BMX Freestyle athlete in the German national squad and therefore she focuses mainly on training for international competitions and recently especially for the Olympic Games. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the therefore cancelled contests there were some changes and challenges for Lara this year. After the Simple Session in February there were no more international contests on the calendar and at the latest with the official postponement of the Tokyo Olympics, for which Lara was already qualified, it was clear that this year would bring a completely different character.

Fast 17 Minuten Leftovers aus dem Mellowpark: Hier sind all jene Clips, die es nicht in unser Hauptvideo vom Highway to Hill 2018 geschafft haben. Aber das heißt noch lange nicht, dass diese Aufnahmen nicht sehenswert wären. Ganz im Gegenteil, da sind schon ein paar echt nice Dinger dabei!
Sommer im April: Gestern wurde in Berlin beim Streetjam von Autum Bikes ordentlich abgeschwitzt und gleich auch noch am Teint gearbeitet. Hier sind ein paar Clips, die Björn "Bommel" Mager im Laufe des Nachmittags am Kulturforum und im Gleisdreieckpark eingefangen hat, bevor die Meute abends nach Neukölln weiterzog, um bei der Saisoneröffnung des Autum Stores ein paar Kaltgetränke zu zischen. Klarer Fall von good times!
