The BMX community agrees that this video has been long overdue. It represents BMX (at least the best parts of it) in full and restores the pride of the rider. No backflip tailwhips. Sorry! No judges or timers. Sorry! Just fun times with fun people and a bicycle. Why not?

Some riders have 2 brakes and 4 pegs and don't really put them to use. I'm happy to say Adam Banton is not one of those guys. Holding it down for the people who think all that stuff is useful, Adam makes one of the most fun-to-watch edits to come out in years.

What should I even say about this? Besides being speechless, I really don't know what anyone would say about this. It's very... Eventful? It's Tom Dugan. Over 10 minutes of him. Can't go wrong there...

Odyssey held one hell of a jam in Austin called Texas Toast. This is the best event I have ever seen, ever. I will do anything I can to attend it next year. Dirt jumping is the best ever; obstacle riding is the second best. Check out a TON of great riders going crazy on this crazy course and even see Mike Aitken go through the trails first try, no run-up.





Speaking of Aitken shredding again, TJ Lavin, after his career-threatening injury, has decided to enforce full-face helmets at his backyard trails. This is cool, but I would personally enforce full-face and certified half-cut helmets, meaning no bucky lasek classics unfortunately. Full-faces are great, but they restrict sight and for some they throw off balance.

Whoever thought of sending these guys to the Black Pearl skatepark in the Cayman Islands, if it wasn't themselves, is a genius. Not only did they ride the world's largest and probably most diverse skatepark in the world; they also got the entire Cayman Islands experience. I think this place just took the top spot on my travel list.
