Dan Conway fights the good fight in the fourth installment of “Battleclip” a Ride BMX feature series which aims to showcase the inner-struggle that riders overcome as they battle inanimate objects with their bikes.

Chris Miller PennSkate Footage
Chris Miller has been testing out his new GoPro during recent sessions at PennSkate and put together some of the footage for this edit. The video is composed of footage of Chris riding both the six and a half foot deep bowl and the world famous Little Devil bowl. Chris rips both ramps with effortless style and an assortment of air tricks and crank flip friendly combos. Some of the footage has previously made it’s way onto Instagram but I think we all hold more value in a two and a half minute web edit anyway. Enjoy!
