Infamy “You Got That” Fifth Anniversary

January 16, 2015 by Purcey

Five years ago today the now defunct Infamy BMX crew premiered their video “You Got That” at Kung-Fu Necktie in Philadelphia. The video featured sections from Fran Meehan, Otto Ayala, Evan Ayala, a Friends Mix, Brendon Reith, Ryan Landman, Eric Capone and Dan Conway. “You Got That” went on to be one of the most talked about videos of 2010 in the BMX community, which was remarkable considering the video was produced by what at the time could have been considered a virtually unknown crew from the suburbs of Philadelphia.

We have included all the sections from “You Got That” after the jump for your viewing pleasure. Whether this is your first time watching the video or if you own the physical DVD the video remains just as relevant today as it did five years ago. Enjoy.
