Top 12 Videos Of 2016

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.

Mike Stahl – Welcome To S&M

Earlier this year our good friend Mike Stahl made the move from Pennsylvania to California to work for S&M Bikes. It should come as no surprise that Mike earned himself a spot on the S&M team and yesterday it was made official with the release of Mike’s “Welcome To S&M” edit. The video was edited by our own Sam Downs and features three minutes of impressive street riding from Mike paired with a classic Black Sabbath tune. We want to wish Mike all the best in his future endeavors. Congratulations from all of us at Ride PA BMX.

Not For Nothing | Part III

https://vimeo.com/175793485

I released the final chapter of the Not For Nothing web series last Friday and it has already gotten great feedback. We hit a delay after releasing the second part of the series last December, as the north east was hit with the usual ice cold weather. We continued to film as much as we could and even took a filming trip out to Los Angeles for this one. Enjoy!
