Talk about an original venue for riding your bike! Following his spectacular ride along the roof of a skyscraper in Kiev in 2010, BMX star Vasya Lukyanenko recently took things to the next level as he headed for the Ukrainian National Space Centre in Yevpatoria to demonstrate his bike skills on the huge radar dishes.

He made his way to the National Spacecraft Control and Testing Centre outside the city of Yevpatoria on the Ukraine's eastern coast for a BMX session unlike any other ever seen before.

Dirt Bike Mayhem with Toys

I always love Lego and Playmobil toys. They allowed your imagination to go crazy as a kid and much of that play time led to the crazy things we get up to these days as "Adults". So I particularly enjoyed this very creative little, stop motion video of some Playmobil FMX action...

The Nitro Circus Crash Montage 2012

We all know the boys from the Nitro Circus play hard. But sometimes they pay the price so high, the rest of us mere mortals just have to cringe. Some of the worst wipes I have ever seen, many by Travis Pastrana, in this short video...

Halloween Jam - Scary BMX Anarchy in 2012

I always enjoy the Halloween Jam. BMX and dirt are always koo and the boys have put some serious work into the Gum Trails setup over the years. With both Greg Illingworth and Wayne Reiche away on the overseas front, it allowed the younger guys to really gun for the title and the prizes. Considering I shot this on 1 camera and got 4 minutes of good footage, well, just know the riding was amazing...

Malcolm Peters was my stand out for the day! Whipping bikes all over the show! (Photo: @IshotImagesZA)

Strength in Numbers - Dirt Bike Movie Section

I am waiting in anticipation to get my copy of "Strength in Numbers", but luckily while we wait down South, there are some bonus segments going online. This is one of them...

The quaint beachside community of Aptos, California is located ten minutes south of Santa Cruz down highway CA 1. Across the road from the bustling Post Office sits a vacant lot. This is home to the aptly named and world-renowned Post Office Dirt Jumps. These jumps have given rise to a community of riders who have grown up around them. With the jumps ultimately slated for demolition, the riding community has adopted a vision that transcends the quest to maintain the perfect set of jumps, instead realizing that just being a part of the quest means everything.

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.

R.I.P "The King Of BMX Dirt" Dane Searls.
