From the inspiring true story of extreme sports legend John Buultjens, THE RIDE follows John McCord, an athletically gifted youth who triumphs over a troubled upbringing. After a violent, racially-charged incident lands John (Shane Graham) in juvenile detention, he is finally placed with an unlikely set of foster parents, Eldridge ('Ludacris') and Marianna Buultjens (Sasha Alexander), an interracial couple who want to provide a fresh start for the tormented youth.
Eldridge makes it his mission to overcome the challenges of John’s white supremacist upbringing and slowly begins to forge a relationship through his foster son’s fascination with extreme sports by giving John his first bike. Rooted by this newfound passion, the family builds a bond of mutual respect, love and together they speed toward BMX glory and ultimately, redemption.

In the world of BMX street riding, there are few riders out there with a better blend of style, burliness and pure technical madness than Colin Varanyak. No set up is safe when Colin is out searching and there is no end to what is possible when he sizes up a spot.
Some raw Neil Hise Tennessee street coffee...
Since moving to the UK from Hungary, Wethepeople's recent team addition, Renato Rancso has been progressing at an insane rate. You're about to watch some serious levels of bike control, including his special move - the backwards manual. More Wethepeople AM gold.
Best BMX Jam of all time!
Enjoy the smooth and aggressive style of Canadian Kink World Team Rider Adam Piatek out of Vancouver, British Columbia. We love to watch this dude ride, and it was put together amazing.
