Dreams of a BMX Rider - Red Bull do it again...

This has to be one of the most innovative and creative athlete profiles I have ever seen. Red Bull Media made the profile video of BMX star, Michael "Berry" Beran. He is busting some of the biggest and unique tricks in BMX, so it makes sense that his profile video would do the same. Seriously worth a watch!

Tod Potter wins on the biggest FMX Track ever - Red Bull XFighters USA

Tod Potter won his first Red Bull XFighters this past weekend on what most people are referring to as the biggest FMX course ever built. Don't believe me? Check out this video...

American Todd Potter was the king of the hill at the second stop of the $1 million 2012 Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour on Saturday, mastering the biggest and most challenging course in the history of the sport in front of an enthusiastic Southern California crowd.
Todd Potter was the master of the 60-foot high step up that scared half of the field away from the biggest hill jump ever included in a Red Bull X-Fighters course to beat Frenchman Thomas Pagès in a thrilling duel of fearless aerial specialists under the blazing heat of Southern California. American Wes Agee also thrived on the hill-filled California-style track, getting a a superb third place in his first-ever competition and winning the Swatch Best Move.

The biggest BMX Dirt Jumps ever - Dane Searls RIP

Dane Searls conquered his dream 2 days before he died. RIP

The BMX dudes were talking about this video the whole day at the recent Ditch Jam and I had to find it for myself. After watching it I was pretty blown away, not only by the incredible riding, but also the story behind it. Pretty tragic that the guy died just 2 days after achieving his goal of doing the biggest jumps ever. Sure he is flying over mega dirt jumps in the sky now!

December 20, 2011 -- The final video release for Professional Freestyle BMX rider Dane Searls sees him successfully ride the biggest dirt jumps in history, clearing distances up to 60 feet (18 metres) on a BMX. The Giants of Dirt Project began in 2010 when Dane Searls brought the idea to Unit Clothing, his sponsor. Over the next 12 months, together they built and tested the line of jumps in Boonah, (west of the Gold Coast, Queensland) on the farm of fellow Unit rider Freestyle Motocross Pro Matt Schubring. Sheer determination saw Dane push through many painful crashes and set backs, including the devastating Queensland floods of 2010. Dane finally completed his life long goal in November 2011, by riding and pulling tricks through the entire set of jumps. Giants of Dirt 3 is the realization of Dane's dream. A custom built drop in ramp was constructed and the final jump in the set of four jumps measures 60 feet (18 metres) from dirt take off to dirt landing. Two days after fulfilling his dream, Dane was involved in an accident and suffered critical head injuries, placing him in a coma for five days. Dane passed away on November 25, 2011 in hospital due to injuries sustained. His death sent shock waves through the BMX community and he will be long remembered as an amazingly kind person and as a professional athlete who pushed the boundaries of the sport of BMX.

Giant Teahupoo on a Phantom Cam - Happy Friday 13th

This is simply terrifying to be absolutely honest. Yes, the 1000 Frames per second footage is beautiful and the music is trippy and amazing, but the bottom line is that the waves these guys were catching this day, are scary, horrible, mutant monster waves that would rather kill you than let you make them. So happy Friday 13th, get your freak on...






This day at Teahupoo- Aug 27th 2011 during the Billabong Pro waiting period is what many are calling the biggest and gnarliest Teahupoo ever ridden. Chris Bryan was fortunate enough to be there working for Billabong on a day that will go down in the history of big wave surfing. The French Navy labeled this day a double code red prohibiting and threatening to arrest anyone that entered the water. Kelly Slater described the day by saying "witnessing this was a draining feeling being terrified for other people's lives all day long, it's life or death. Letting go of that rope one time can change your life and not many people will ever experience that in their life." All images where shot by Chris Bryan using the Phantom HD Gold camera.
