This is Sunays Pabathi's first video part. A 16 year old from Brisbane, Australia. Full of beans and ready to send it! Here's some more from Declan Kilpatrick...
Nowear riders Michael Woodby and Jameson Keese went to visit their friend and filmer Will Chappell after his recent move to Barcelona in Spain. The boys went all out in the streets, Jameson got to push his technical tricks on some unique spots and Michael threw hammers down anything big and sketchy he could find.
It goes without saying that Canadian native, Mike Varga, is on another level. Going bigger than ever, "VARGANATOR" shows Varga doing what he does best. You won't be disappointed.
Saturday was much the same as Friday over in Anaheim. We got there early to take it all in. Finished the rounds in the pits, said hi to the folks, checked Supercross practice, time qualification, and cruised over to the BMX triples to catch some of the semi-finals, finals and best trick comp. Then everyone made it back into the Anaheim Angel stadium for the Supercross qualification races, LCQ's and finals.
There's no need to explain who did what and who finished where. That's what social media does for everyone these days. But with no live feed of BMX Triples you would still have to be there in person to catch everything. Seeing everything live is just so much better. Smelling the gas, looking where you want to look, hearing the sound, catching the action, the antics, nothing beats the live action. Luckily we were up high in the media room because it did start to rain during the evening program. Rain in California! it was almost a year ago since they'd seen it. Luckily the BMX Triple Challenge was finished already and the trophies and cheques had been handed out to the riders but the Supercross riders now had to deal with difficult vision and a slippery track. It did not turn into a mud fest luckily and the big jumps were also no problem for the boys. Damn they are good at what they do.
The evening passed quickly. Two heats of 250 qualification, LCQ and finals. And the same for the 450 class. The KTM Juniors did a couple of laps on the E-bikes and had the day of their lives.
A whole ass DVD from a tiny, beat-to-hell dump we’ve been wrecking for years—who knew chaos could be so damn entertaining? Sure, most of us are rocking 30-plus, but that hasn’t stopped us from treating every spot like it’s a playground for middle-aged maniacs. No pristine setups, no Instagram-perfect rails—just unfiltered creativity, a stubborn refusal to grow up, and a crew that rides like we’re all 18 (even if our knees file complaints).
Friday morning. Up early. Heading to Anaheim. Next to the Supercross ("A2") also the first round of the Monster Energy BMX Triple Challenge is on the schedule. The BMX Dirt comp is part of the Supercross Fan Fest entertainment and the big pro purse (over $120.000 divided over 3 stops) brought all the big boys to California. Climbing up that roll-in takes some balls. It's small and high, and I'm sure up there it's a tad wobbly too. And then looking down on the three massive jumps.... It didn't seem to hold back any of the participants though and it didn't take long before tricks were thrown.
But we were on duty for Twin Air to take some photos of their factory team bikes and riders. Friday was media day and our passes got us on the infield so we could mix it up with the Supercross athletes and get some content for FATMX at the same time. In the world of BMX you need to multitask sometimes to make ends meet and as long as it involves anything BMX related or motocross, you can sign me up for it. Friday is usually the quieter day in the pits with riders and mechanics having more time available. We got a lot of stuff done which felt good. Meanwhile the BMX Triples had done their practice and qualification. With the top 16 making it to Saturday's semi-finals it meant that 30 riders did not make the cut. The level was actually insane and with 1 run out of 3 counting for the competition the riders were able to send their best tricks.
With possible rain on the weather report for Saturday we had no clue what was going to happen. We did do Chic-Fil-A for lunch and were running out of time to hit a Raising Canes restaurant.
With Sundays being the only filming option due to work/life commitments, Spain's Felipe Candia battled away at this new video throughout the whole of 2024. Needless to say, his efforts paid off as this turned out amazing.
