We are working on a project with Wall 2 Wall freestyle guys on a new history project they are working on. In the next few months they have been gracious enough to hook us up with some unscene footage from some big events in Freestyle history.
This is an awesome look at the behind the scenes of the first street contest. 2-Hip put this together in in Santee Ca. in 1988. You may recognize plenty of riders like Chris Moeller, Eddie Roman, RL Osborn, George Smoot, Craig Grasso, Craig Cambell, Spike Jonze, Ron Wilkerson, Pete Augustin, Dave Vanderspeck, & Dave Voelker.
This was a turning point in BMX and im so excited to be able to share some of this never before seen footage with you!

Kyle Harris & Chris Akin are Southern Oregon raised and keep that roast alive on all the aging concrete parks in that area. Just like Josh White who grew up in the same area 30 years earlier. This area breeds that good style with a fearless approach.
Thomas Hooper revisits his childhood riding spot, Sidley Woods and also a guest stop at Two Snakes Tattoo to talk to Peter Adam about the limited edition frame wrap he collaborated with United on. If you're unaware of Thomas Hooper, he is one of the world's most sought after tattoo artists who grew up in the legendary UK BMX hotspot, Hastings and now years on has reignited his passion for riding a 20" bike. Seriously cool stuff.
