8 out of 20 ain’t bad!
Pretty good to see that out of the 20 Most Popular Riders of 2011 on RideUS, 8 of them ride for a couple of our brands. Bring on 2012!
Redline Flight Carbon’s Now in the UK
If you ventured over to the Cycle Show at the NEC a few months back, you will have noticed a prototype Redline Flight Carbon bike on our stand. It got real good feedback from the crowds but it isn’t too surprising giving the facts the bike looks ridiculously nice and is super light – great [...]
WINWINWIN pt3!
Another day, another chance to win some products from RideUK’s 24 Days of Christmas. This time it’s a package from Duo Brand so go visit the Ride site and answer the easy question for a chane to WIN
Harry Main VX Edit
Another banger edit from the one and only Harry Main, all filmed VX style. Still can’t get over the 720 hop into a bank and the truck to flip hop-in ain’t all that bad either. Harry’s Mirraco Mainline frames will be with us soon!
What you didn’t know
Kevin Kiraly’s Verde banger-filled-edit dropped the other day and it was a treat! If you ever wanted to know what went into something like this, Jeremy Pavia has a interesting, in-depth blog post all about the shot he got of Kevin whipping the famous Wallenberg set – go look!
RIP Dane Searls
It was sad to hear that Dane Searls had passed a few weeks ago and after seeing this final Giants of Dirt edit, it brings it home that BMX has just made a step backwards in regards to people stepping up and pushing what’s possible, all without losing any integrity (ie Megaramp). Don’t think many [...]
Kevin Kiraly Verde Part
So Kevin Kiraly’s Verde edit just came out, and yeah, it’s pretty good. Plenty of tech street mixed with some bangers, all filmed by Verde TM Will Stroud (so you know it’s good!)
Happy Christmas Martyn!
As a little Christmas surprise for Verde UK Team Manager Martyn Tambling, George mounted an old 2-Hip Pork frame as a thank you for all Martyn’s hard work in 2011. Martyn used to ride for 2-Hip through Shiner 13 odd years ago so it’s funny how it’s all gone full circle now he’s involved with [...]
Ride UK Reader Awards
A few of us from Shiner attended the RideUK Reader Awards on Saturday night in the big smoke. Great to see a load of people but even better to see Verde UK’s Matt Priest pick up the UK Dirt Rider of the Year award. Mirraco’s Harry Main also picked up UK Park Rider of the [...]
Fall Trails Collective
Only just spotted this even though it’s been out for a week or so on BMXunion but it’s well worth a second watch even if you’re already seen it. It’s got everyone you’d want to see including Foster,Reynolds, Slattery and most importantly Verde’s Lima and Matt Priest, riding some lovely looking, warmer than here trail [...]
Hop Flip Drop In
Trying hard for this not to turn into the Harry Main Appreciation Blog but it’s hard when he keeps doing rad things like this. So rad in fact, it hurts my simple brain.
Cinema in Barcelona
Will Stroud has just returned from my favourite Spanish city with the rest of the Cinema team after a week of filming. Beddows joined them so look for the edit and a RideUK article sometime soon in the New Year. In the meantime, there’s some more snaps of the trip over on the Cinema blog
Redline Troy Lee Racing UK Team
It’s just been announced that the UK Redline Racing Team have partnered with Troy Lee Designs for the 2012 season. Our very own Jai Kemp who has been Team Manager for the past 5 years and will continue to manage the new Redline Troy Lee Racing team for 2012 said these lovely words ‘I have [...]
Corey Bohan – “These Days” Left Overs
Stewart Munro just uploaded some footage of Duo’s Corey Bohan that didn’t make the cut for his “These Days” DVD.
Smash It!
Transgression park had it’s Snowballin Jam over the weekend and Mirraco’s Harry Main kindly went up and smashed the hell out of a light with a massive flair.
WINWINWIN (again!)
Ride’s Christmas For The Win competition is still going strong and day 11 gave you the chance to win a nice Cinema package. The comp has ended now but from the looks of 540 odd comments, not a lot of you missed out!
Kriss Kyle and co at Unit 23
Unit 23 is easily one of the best / most welcoming parks I’ve been to and this video shows Duo’s UK team rider Kriss Kyle and other BSD riders shredding the place.
Fat Favourites with Harry Main
Mirraco rider Harry Main has just had a Fat Favourites posted up over on the FatBMX site. If you want to know what Harry likes, then go have a look!
Redline – Zack Gerber
Redline’s new rider Zack Gerber has just had this edit come out which was clipped together from riding over the past few weeks while on a road trip. Filmed in Tampa FL, Albany GA, and Charlotte NC.
WINWINWIN
As part of Ride’s Christmas For The Win competition, day 6 gives you the chance to win some Verde bars. All you have to do is answer a simple question on the Ride site so go enter!
Verde Spain – Toni Calero
Some good street nibs from Spanish Verde rider Toni Calero in this edit. What I’d give to be able to ride about in the sun….
ShinerBMX on Instagram
Yep we’ve given in to the next big thing so follow us at Shinerbmx if you’ve got one of those lovely iphones. Here’s a first taster – a 1984 signed Bob Haro picture that was given to us. With plenty of oldschool gems here in the warehouse (which should hopefully be up somewhere soon!) and [...]
Chertsey Autumn 2011
There was a mess of local politics at the trails so it’s good to see they’re now moving on stuff is getting ridden/dug again. Verde’s Matt and Lima have a few good clips in this so worth watching if only to remind you of warmer days.
