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.

1. Adem Gunaydin – Welcome To Legend Bikes USA
https://www.ridepabmx.com/adem-gunaydin-welcome-to-legend-bikes/

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!

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.

Dave Krone 2017-2018 Iphone Edit

Dave Krone released his latest edit online this morning. The video was filmed between 2017 and 2018 on an old iPhone that was given to Dave by Ryan Navazio (@yo_navaz) to start an Instagram account. In lieu of a filmer, Dave made use of a set of pliers as a makeshift tripod to film most of the footage, with some additional filming provided by Lewis Colascione (@lewiscolascione) and Sammi Pine (@dreamweaverxo). You can read more about the video in Dave’s own words below, and don’t forget to follow Dave on Instagram (@kavedrone).
