A very special part from our recent full lenght team video "STILL UNTITLED" goes to Jānis Čunčulis & Jānis Bauska. Two completely different riding styles originally hailing from the small town of Jelgava in the midlands of Latvia. Jānis Čunčulis is a local legend and a long time shredder. Jānis Bauska grew up having Čunčulis as his local hero and now we pack these two together in a mix of style, burliness and technical street riding.
Janis started the year with a quick week long vacation in the European capital of street riding - Barcelona, Spain. Accompanied by his good friend and filmmaker Arturs Lurins, the outcome of the trip was a no-brainer. Press play and witness some Janis Bauska steeze in the streets of BCN.
Here's a very interesting project done by our team rider Janis Bauska and his long time friend and BMX videographer Artūrs Lūriņš. Here's a few words from Artūrs on how all of this came to life.
We are stoked to officially anounce that Janis Bauska is now repping Subrosa over here in the Baltics. He was a fan of the brand's image and always chose Subrosa parts, so it totaly makes sence. Big things to come from this tall gentleman!
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
