Happy Independence Day for all to all our friends in the US, Scott Powell just dropped this and had to his to say:
“July 4th is Independence Day for the USA! Today I am declaring my independence from decades, from brakes, I am even declaring my independence from pegs!”
Kicking off our tuesday posts, when I saw the title “infinity roll” I was having flashbacks of one of the first moves I learnt 33 years ago. Alas, it is not that, and a serious front wheel line to enjoy, hit play!
Mr Tricktionary, Giannis Caternellis out of Athens, Greece is back with the 77th episode in the Freestyler series and at just over 7 minutes long there is a lot to take in here. What’s your favourite clip in this one?
I can imagine it’s always an amazing moment when you get your own riding spot, here’s what Niyaz Zaripov had to say:
“This last 3 weeks I was busy with something very important for me. Finally, I can introduce it to you. This is my new #backyard spot for practice BMX.
It’s all begun much earlier than I started to billed it. Somewhere in 2006, when I just started to ride, I was just dreamed about it. And only after 12 years of riding I realized – I need it right now.
I love my city. Kazan is a good small town that going to the right direction. But it goes too slow. Still, there are no any spots for riding (you can find asphalt any time anywhere you want, but in that case your tires will dead very fast and you know that). I’ve been riding on my local spots with granite surface in my town without any problems all that time. But…A lot of event is going to happen in Kazan in 2017: Confederation cup and Football Championship in 2018. That’s why our city have to work a lot to complete the construction. Guards go into conflict, forbidding me to ride in public places. They watching TV to much…crime, terrorism and all that shit doesn’t get out of their heads and they think that my bag that I leave while I’m riding can be dangerous. So they just don’t let me ride even when I trying to talk with them.
That sucks. Enough! Now I have my own one!”

After two weeks rehearsals in the Moscow Circus, Niyaz Zaripov and the BMXact team took a trip from Moscow to Paris. Check out the resulting video documenting their trip, lifestyle and performance at Le Plus Grand Cabaret du Monde.
Always a good day when I wake up to some fresh Keisuke Tanigawa footage, peep this awesome xft halfpacker pivot hitch line filmed in sunny Osaka, Japan recently.
