Without giving away the punch line, this vid has the right elements for one hell of an epic fail. Shorts, and thongs, no helmet, a CB250, India's clay surface and eventually, two bros on the same bike. Just wait for it... it's coming!
More than happy to rag on each other, Showtime FMX teammates and good friends Kain Saul and Steve Mini let fly backstage at a recent show in Gympie, QLD. There's no holding back in this one.
Brett Cue's "Road To X Games" series is something we've been fans of from the start... who doesn't like dirty big whips? But, as they series has rolled on, we've really become quite attached to it. It's so much more than just massive whips. It's a cool story seeing a funny dude ride some amazing locations. This edition is no different as Brett sessions the infamous Dreamland track with some MASSIVE jumps. His one-hand bar/hand drag rut session is pretty rad too.
It's been coming for a while now, but it's finally here! Part two of our FMX Project where we take a stock 2013 YZ450F and turn it into a specialised FMX machine. AS usual, the guys at Russell Brothers films are behind the bike and the video and it's typically amazing. Make sure to flick it to HD and let it load.. it's worth the wait!
We love seeing Aussie brands succeed. Something about it instils a sense of pride in us. The fact that someone had the nuts to lay it on the line, chase their passion and then to see it succeed is a pretty cool feeling. In the case of FIST handwear, they are looking down the barrel of one of their biggest years yet, and with a team like you can see in this rad clip, backed up with some very cool new gloves, it's easy to see why. Gotta say, the Bliss n Eso song is rather fitting too.
Dirt Shark has just dropped a team video from Pala last week, which we admit, at first doens't sound that exciting. But with guys like McGrath and Hanny there was always going to be style for days and some of the jumps they hit are INSANE. There's a 165 foot quad that looks so scary and Hanny's in-swinger/turn-up whips are like poetry on a bike.
Our resident photo, Ben Dillaway, headed north on the weekend to Sunny Coast stop of the Nitro Circus Live regional tour. While the crowd numbers may not have been as big as some of the other bigger cities so far, the atmosphere was electric. Check out the massive 30-pic gallery of FMX from the night.
Last night, Channel 7's Sunday Night programmed aired a story called "Full Throttle Carnage" which featured Robbie Maddison and Jackson Strong and took a look at the passing of Tyrone Gilks and others in the sport. It was a controversial topic and one that was always going to have conflicting views. If you didn't catch it, check it out here and see what we thought of the program.
With X Games Barcelona this weekend, Twitch runs us through his prep for his Gold Medal winning whip. It's interesting to hear how he talks about trying to hit different angles with it to make it look better in differnet ways. Rad sound track too!
The competition side of Red Bull X-Fighters Glen Helen may have been a flop, but some insane riding still went down during the earlier practice runs. Here's a bonus vid of just that! Man, it would have been cool to see them go head-to-head on this course.
