As we count down the final hours of 2018, it’s time once again for our annual year-end list of the top videos from the past year. Take a look back with us at some of the videos that we felt made the strongest impression on our viewers and the scene as a whole. The list is in no particular order and is not based on any web statistics or analytics. Simply put, there are no winners or losers. With that in mind, we invite you to sit back, re-watch and enjoy.

In August we exclusively premiered Adem Gunaydin’s ‘Welcome To Legend Bikes USA‘ video here on the site. Adem’s inaugural video is packed from start to finish with solid riding and jaw-dropping bangers. The video was filmed and edited by Nick Elison with additional filming provided by Chris Girouard. Adem is currently recovering from knee surgery he had earlier in the year, and we hope to see him back on his bike in 2019!
Pat Quinn has released his latest edit, a nearly five-minute-long mix of street riding, through The Come Up earlier today. The video was filmed over the course of the last year and features riding from Aeden Feher, Dustin Clewell, ‘Mad Mike’ Guth, Pat Quinn, Ryan Muschlitz and more. This one has classic East Coast vibe perfect for getting you hype to dive into some crusty spots. Click play and enjoy.
As we approach the end of the year, it’s time once again to kick off our series of year end posts. Every year, we publish a long list of videos on this site. In the fast paced environment that is the internet they are here one minute and archived the next. But before we close the door on 2016, it’s time to take a look back at some of the videos that we felt made the strongest impression on our viewers and the scene as a whole. The list is in no particular order and is not based off of any web statistics or analytics. With that in mind, we invite you to sit back, re-watch and enjoy.

Nilo Hodge just blessed the East Coast Destruction website with a Christmas Eve gallery of photos shot back in November during a trip to the Reid Menzer Skatepark in York, PA. The gallery includes shots of Dustin Clewell, Grant Bass (pictured above), Weng, and Tom Gorse who is a local at the park and was already on site when the ECD crew arrived. A video from the session is expected to surface in the near future. You can read some words from Nilo about the trip and the video project below and don’t forget to check out all the photos via the ECD website by clicking here.
“We met a videographer a while back that let us know that he was interested in shooting a bmx video with us at some point. Last Month, when he was ready to get it done, we took a trip down to Reid Menzer park in York to film with him. It was a crazy warm day in November, until about 3 p.m., then a wild storm rolled in and the temperature dropped like 15 degrees. The videographer brought some wild ass gear to shoot the edit with. I’m psyched to see how it turns out. We’ll post it when he’s done. But for now here’s a few photos Nilo shot throughout the day.” – Nilo Hodge
On the heels of ECD’s recent Afternoon With Chopper edit, Nilo Hodge has just released another short filmed video through ECD featuring Dustin Clewell. The edit was filmed during a session at Penn Skate in around thirty minutes time. Although the edit clocks in at just a little over a minute in duration and was filmed in about a half hour time frame, the video is full of impressive riding by Dustin. Hit play and check it out.
Dustin Clewell put together a new mix of some old unused skatepark footage stored on his computer. The video features Dustin Clewell, Chopper, Knick Smith, Grant Bass, AJ Herrera, Cotton Robbins, Justin Mitchell and more riding a variety of skateparks in the Pennsylvania area. There’s some pretty wild stuff in here including an impressive Icepick grind to 180 Lookback by Chopper towards the end. Hit play and check it out.
