Uncovered BMX Stop Two

While digging through our video archives from this past year and continuing with our theme of back-posting, we also noticed that the second stop from the Uncovered BMX contest was absent. That simply won’t do, so here’s a look back at the second stop of the series.

The second stop of the Uncovered BMX contest series took place at The Wheel Mill in Pittsburgh, PA on Sunday, February, 25th. The event included special judges, announcers, and of course, a ton of wild riding. The event also helped catapult ‘Mad Mike’ Guth into the wild card spot at the Battle Of Hastings.

Results:
Semi-Pro – 1st – George Duran, 2nd – Nick Fix, 3rd – Jordan Capece
Intermediate – 1st – Maxx Corbett, 2nd – Ryan Sanborn, 3rd – Tyler Cramer

Brian Foster – Live The Dream

Last week Ryan Navazio caught everyone off-guard when he dropped a new video online featuring Brian Foster appropriately titled, Live The Dream. For many of us, the idea of being a pro BMX rider is as good as it gets, but Brian has lived that dream for nearly thirty years now. A recent inductee into the Hall of Fame, Brian continues to be the embodiment of that dream every time he steps on his bike, even if it’s not as frequently as he would like.

Animal Bikes Philadelphia

While we were digging through the archives in search of material for our annual year-end list of the top 12 videos of the year, this one was notably missing so here it is in the name of good archiving. Better late than never right?

Back in August, Animal Bikes dropped a five and a half minute video online titled ‘Animal Bikes Philadelphia’ shot entirely in the City of Brotherly Love. The video was filmed by Justin Benthien and includes riding from Ben Lewis, Augie Simoncini, Chase Dehart, Matt Miller, ‘Mad Mike’ Guth, and more. The video also serves as an introduction to Animal’s latest pro, Johnny Raekes.
