NILE WILSON RODE A BMX AND JUMPED HOW HIGH?! by Olympic BMX Champion Beth Shriever.
SKYWAY TA BMX 1983 - Build-Up with Rainer Schadowski | Extended Version by PIXELEYE INDUSTRIES
I stopped by Rainer's Bike Shop to get my Skyway TA BMX from 1983 back together - I came across the frame, fork and Tuff Wheels last summer by chance through a buddy in my hometown who had the bike since the '80s and kept the frame hanging on the wall for 25 years.
During an era where they had one of the most revered and well-rounded teams in modern-day BMX, etnies released the full length video “CHAPTERS” in 2017. With 35 trips over a period of three years, throughout 15 countries, at both legendary and new spots, the team shared good times, friendships, sometimes adversity, and have shed blood, sweat, and tears, along with groundbreaking and sometimes downright scary feats.
HELL. YES. We've got a sick one for you from the crew at Animal Bikes. Suspicious Minds has sections from Ryan Howard, Steven Hamilton and Nick Seabasty, along with a mix from the squad, featuring Harrison Arcari, Justin Shorty, Martin Ochoa, Clay Johnson, Latane Coghill, Bo Bowen, Chris Silva, Jake Coulson, Dev Herring, Matt Skaggs, Adem Gunaydin, Greg Moliterno, Justin Benthien, Mike Guth and Demarcus Paul. Perfect pre-riding hype!
