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!

Retrospective: The Final Street Series

The Street Series was originally started in the U.K. by Tom Creasy, DUB BMX, and Monster Energy. In its six-year lifespan, The Street Series grew from an idea into a globally recognized event staged in cities around the world and held in support of BMX Day. The final Street Series took place on Saturday, July 22, 2017, and was hosted in Melbourne, Moscow, Paris, London, San Diego, and Philadelphia. Dan Lacey returned to host the event in Philadelphia for the second year in a row, and with the assistance of Matt Miller and the Chocolate Truck crew, guided the crowd of hundreds of BMX riders from spot to spot through the neighborhoods of North Philadelphia.

One year later, we reconnected with some of the locals that were in attendance as well as our contributing photographers, Sam Downs, Frank Ashbridge, and Kyle Dipilla, for a look back at the final Street Series in Philadelphia. Frank Ashbridge also edited together some previously unseen footage that he filmed during the 9th and Poplar stop of The Street Series.

We hope you enjoy.

Colin Varanyak, Van Homan and Chris Doyle @ The Wheel Mill

Philadelphia’s newest resident Colin Varanyak was invited on a trip by Van Homan to The Wheel Mill in Pittsburgh before the pair headed to Cincinnati. Colin put together an edit for his YouTube Channel which is full of really solid content so make sure you subscribe for more videos.

Colin and Van were joined by Chris Doyle during the session which was also Colin’s first trip to the park. In my opinion anything with those super tweaked Chris Doyle 360 inverts and over cranked turndowns is worth a watch. Click play and again, don’t forget to subscribe to Colin’s YouTube channel for more.
