Great footage from the Overground contest in Brazil last weekend by Lisias Taberelli. Featuring: Bruno “Zebu”, Pedro Nascimento, Romulo Guerra, William “Buiu”, Mateus Beckmann, Sergio Ricardo “Balu”, Gilberto Rocha, Fagner Richter and Francisco “Pekeno”. Definitely hit play for this one!
Fancy something a lil’ different to watch than the norm riding edit? Check this fun, creative edit out of Katsushi Tanaka, mixing BMX, Skate and Basketball.
The skilled Mates Tuček is back with Part 2 in his June series, as always killing front and back wheel! Lots of different techniques, really enjoyed this one and maybe you will do too, hit play!

To celebrate Jody’s 27th anniversary riding bikes, Jody just dropped this short but sweet “Summer Short edit”. After battling a severe back injury for the last year or so, it is great to see some fresh Jody Temple footage. Stoked on the half hiker pivot karl bar flip line at 00:49, and the hang nothing bar flips at 1:17 is so good! Much more than that Jody’s and I guess the Athens crew as well, always look like they are having a blast on their bikes! That’s ultimately what it is all about!

The 2015 World Circuit series is shaping up nicely, with Bike Days and Barcelona both going off in Europe! All eyes now turn to Round 3, which takes place at the annual Voodoo Jam in New Orleans, USA on July 25th. I caught up with the organiser Scott O’Brien to talk about what he has in store for the event, the vibe of the event, the next generation, judging, contest formats, his memories and expectations and a whole lot more, read on!

It is July, and that means Voodoo Jam is right around the corner. James McGraw just switched to 1.9 Ares tyres and is raving about them, hit play to check out what James is working on for Voodoo!
Great edit of young ripper Minato Sato by York Uno, what is left to be said about the japanese scene looking after the grassroots and consistently seeing talented riders coming through the ranks! The ender at 2:04 is awesome!
During my trip to Barcelona I was lucky enough to go riding with Jean William Prevost, Jason Plourde and James McGraw and witness Dub hit this Rodeo that he worked on for the last three years! One of the best moments I think I’ve witnessed in a long time, just pure genuine joy!
Dub gave some insight: “Currently injured at the knee I have to put the bike aside for some time, but here is a trick I’ve been working on for the longest time. It took me three years to finally get to the other side of the bike witthout scuffing or braking , just pure pivots and turbines switch footed on the peg and on the pedal. It might look easy but the complexity of this trick is quasi unfathomable.”
Whilst I don’t normally give out the “Must Watch” tag for one trick, this fully deserves it! Get well soon Dub!
Duy-Anh PHAM aka Dwix who previously run the http://niakland.free.fr website before YouTube and Vimeo days took some time out of the game and wanted to get back into documenting the flatland lifestyle and riding, he does a great job, he explains more below:
“During two months, I traveled with my bike and my camera between Paris, Saint Mandrier sur Mer, Montpellier, Bordeaux, Royan and Barcelona. The result of these trips is this mixtape called “Mezzee”. It sounds as your greed pushes you to test loads of tasty dishes in the same time. It includes good times and riding skills from Manu Massabova, Matthieu Bonnecuelle, Takumi Isogai, Quentin Pelorson, Inigo Arroyo, Alexis Desolneux, Shinichi Kiba, Alex Jumelin, Thomas Noyer, Jeremy Brosset, Joris Bretagnolles, Mike Plas, Gilles Van de Sompel, Alberto Moya and many more!”
