Riding a skatepark in an old supermarket - Pitt St. Skatepark, Portsmouth | by Ride UK BMX
We visited a brand new skatepark that's been built in what used to be a supermarket store in Portsmouth, UK. Local Harvey Shorey invited some of his friends down for a session to test it out and we spoke with Jacob Skinner, one of the main masterminds behind the whole project.
Here's the RAW CUT of the recent "Roads Less Travelled" trip we took around Toowoomba, QLD. Watch Paterico Fallico, Chris James, Clint Millar, Dean Florian, Marcel Gans, Koby Clayton and Dean Anderson have a blast on and off the bikes for a couple days.
Over eight years in the making, and the long-awaited results are stellar. Matt Miller and the Chocolate Truck squad released Chocolate Truck 2 last summer, and it’s stacked with a plethora of full sections from Philly, NYC, the East Coast, Arizona, California and Spain.
Riding BMX doesn’t become a career for everyone but almost everyone has tried their hand at BMXing once or twice in their life. Why wouldn’t they? It’s a blast after all. Here we shine a light on some household names who have been caught in the act of BMXing when you perhaps associatethem to stuff that is a tad safer and more mainstream.
What celebs ride BMX?
Slash
You might not immediately put rock music and BMX together but Guns and Roses man Slash certainly did. At least he used to. In fact, the man himself has revealed that he was big into his BMX biking. Not only did Slash own several bikes but he did more than just use them as a mode of transport; explaining his decision to leave BMXing alone back in 2014 the musician revealed that he was too concerned that his jumps and stunts would lead to injury that would ultimately jeopardise his music career. We wish he’d carry on – and he might yet restart as he still owns his bikes – but we can understand why Slash called it a day. BMX is not for the feint hearted.
Zayn Malik
Sticking with the music industry, another star who has been spotted on his BMX is One Direction singer Zayn Malik. Malik, who found fame on British television talent show ‘The X-Factor’ back in 2010,
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
