Must Watch – Rob Ridge / Still rides a Standard

Years and years of craft go into riding like Rob Ridge does, in my mind Rob continues the style of riding that made Rick Moliterno and Kurt Schmidt infamous on the BMX scene during the 90’s so it’s more than fitting that Rob rides a Standard. Besides the obviously very technical riding style Rob is blessed with, which began with years of flatland riding. What I admire the most is Rob never followed any trends at all. The man is as real as it gets, go watch this! Thank you Rob!

Frank Lukas – Lines

Frank Lukas – Lines from Neuland on Vimeo.

If you watch one video today, make it this amazing production where Frank Lucas teams up with Pete Schilling & Niklas Hill to document his journey was a pro rider.

“At the peak of his career, Frank Lukas was one of Germany’s most known and successful BMX pro riders. Looking back, he collected heaps of memories and worked his way up to sponsoring deals with big brands such as Carhartt WIP at a really young age.
Now, years later, we’re telling his story. A story about success, struggles, family and friends.

This film is a self-funded project and we used it as a creative playground. Thank you for watching.”
