"Average sighting of Crazy Pete at New Brighton Bowl, shows up over the space of a few sessions and pulls out what you see here, riding our local skatepark unlike any other that has ever placed their tread on these grounds, pulling out the wackiest shit but so casually, spliff in mouth and barely breaking a sweat."

BNGBNGMCR's Mancunian Winter is back for round two! You already know what to do...

Break out the popcorn—20 minutes worth of 2022 Swampfest madness is hitting your screen. The best jam/shitshow in BMX went down in Wildwood, Florida, and despite a day of downpours, nothing held back the 48 hours of riding and raging. No words can do Swampfest justice; you have to live it to truly understand. Hopefully this glimpse into the weekend will help, though. Huge shout-out to Trey Jones and the crew for putting on yet another one for the books.

Vans, the original action sports footwear and apparel brand, is proud to unveil a new colorway of the Sk8-Hi® BMX created by Angie Marino, the perfect balance between BMX performance and a timeless design brought to life through the eyes of one of BMX’s most talented riders. Constantly pushing the limits of progression, Angie’s riding demands a shoe that’s as strong and as committed to BMX as she is. The Sk8-Hi® BMX meets those demands with Vans BMX Wafflecup™ construction for maximum pedal feel and durability. For her take on the silhouette, Angie worked with Vans to bring in her personalized floral art and soft tones, which also carry over into a curated apparel collection.

The Sk8-Hi BMX by Angie Marino features PopCush™ footbeds for maximum energy return and a DURACAP reinforced rubber underlay to protect high-wear areas. A protea, her favorite flower, come to life in a tonal deboss on the heel counter and in soft peach and earth tones on the outsole.

“I chose a flower as a soft representation of how I currently see the women's BMX scene— it's in full bloom and not slowing down,” Angie said. “The Sk8-Hi BMX is one of my favorites to ride in. The extra ankle support at the top makes a world of difference for riding.”

Angie and Vans are also excited to present her first-ever apparel collection with the brand, including a lightweight short sleeve boxy tee and boxy hoodie incorporating a similar color palette and hints of floral that take cues from her favorite season to ride: Spring. Both pieces are finished with Vans’ Checkerboard detailing, and Angie’s signature on the hoodie’s sleeve.

2022 marks GT’s 50th Anniversary and we figured we’d throw it back at this years Swampfest by firing up the GT Air Show. Leandro Moreira, Gustavo Balaloka, Parker Heath and plenty more put on one hell of a show. In typical Swampfest fashion, things got pretty loose and mother nature opened the floodgates, but that didn't put a damper on the fun.

It was a cold night in Denver, so we decided to heat things up by throwing a party. A 100 Beer Party at DPark. A ton of good riding and accidental makes going down while the Busch Heavy, High Life and PBR slowly disappeared. Pusher BMX even threw in some money to give away to make things that much more interesting.
