Through the UCI I've been lucky enough to be present at the UCI BMX Racing World Cups. With previous rounds over the years happening closer to home in Belgium, England, Italy, France, Netherlands, and Sweden, we now made it over to Bogota, Colombia. The 05:10am alarm clock gave me 20 minutes to get ready to leave the house for the 10 minute walk to the nearest train station at Helmond-Brandevoort. In Eindhoven I switched trains to Utrecht where the announcement came that a defect train was on the rails in between Utrecht and Amsterdam-Centraal. Luckily enough the train to Schiphol wasn't affected by it so I made it to the airport at 07:27hr, in time for the 10:10hr departure on the straight flight to the city of Bogota.
From tech lines to massive drops, Matt is an absolute machine on a bike. To celebrate his one year anniversary at Dan's we bring you his official "Pro Part" video. This project was filmed around Matt's hometown in Massachusetts with Jona Jahchan behind the lens.
This is a bit out of the scope of what I normally do but “Strays” is mainly about after work weekend sessions cruising the city with beers, bikes, and boards. No agenda but collect the stray clips and share the good times. Featuring a bunch of folks.
A lot of long-time UK viewers will recognise the name Craig Stevens as a stalwart of the UK scene during the epic and influential early 2000's era. Beyond that however people might not know too much about him.
"The edit took us about a year and a half to film and it wasn’t easy to meet up since Cam is a full time family man with a wife and 3 kids and works like crazy."
It's not every day we get to see a new full-length video from the streets of Sweden, but the Peg Vacay crew just dropped 'Spilled Drinks' for your viewing pleasure. Filmed over the last couple of years, Spilled Drinks saw the small but tight knit local scene come together with a united focus - always something we're stoked to see. The end result is something all those guys can be super proud of.

Today, etnies launches the Emil Johansson signature Jameson Mid colourway. This shoe features etnies unique Formula G rubber compound int the geo-hex tread outsole. Formula G is 2 times grippier than standard rubber and provides specialised grip for all-round riding…
Born and raised in Trollhättan, Sweden, Emil bought his first bike when he was six years old and has been cruising and eventually competing ever since. Emil worked closely with etnies to incorporate all the needs of a high-speed, technical bike rider. With a Strobel-board midsole for stiffness and pedal feel, Emil’s Jameson Mid Crank MTB warm grey and tan colourway comes fully equipped with an asymmetrical collar for ankle protection, TPU underlay on vamp for reinforced fit. The Jameson Mid Crank style comes with extra PU nubuck protection, and its tongue gussets shield moisture, dirt, and debris.
With the new Emil Johansson Signature Jameson Mid Crank colorway, etnies has you covered with the most comfortable, durable and performance driven footwear.
