In 2011, Dennis Enarson dropped an insane BMX section in the Demolition Parts video, which closed in dramatic fashion with this ultra-heavy barspin manual tailwhip roof drop. Lest we forget just how heavy this one was, DIG just caught up with Dennis for the second episode of their Ender Ender series to chronicle exactly how it all went down. If you like hammers, then this one is for you.

Snowboarding's gotten a lot of LED treatment over the years, and so has surfing even. But it's finally about time that somebody started doing some BMX edits with LED lightsuits. But just doing some flatland BMX in an LED lightsuit would be a bit boring. So the Woozy crew upped the ante and added parkour, because you know you always wanted to see those two combined.
With a heavy slam already in the books and one last run down the Taxco Downhill course in front of him, Chris Van Dine stepped up and stuck this massive backflip, much to pleasure of the stoked crowd cheering him on. Travis Pastrana aside, this one (thanks in part to the "warm up" wallride Van Dine puts down perfectly in both runs) is just about as gnarly as you can get on two wheels.
China certainly knows how to throw a party. Just ask BMXer Tim Knoll who, after setting the world record for the world's longest bike limbo (a strange enough feat in its own right), was treated to a laser-light splashed parade replete with Shetland pony-drawn wagons, operatic classical music, and a variety of other assorted insanity. We really can't put this one into words, so you'll just have to check it out for yourself.
Sure, German downhill mountain biking pros Andreas Sieber and Julian Gerhardt may have tackled this bobsled track last year, but that doesn't make it any less awesome. The Winterberg bobsled track provides an incredible landscape for Sieber and Gerhardt to test out their spiked-tire skills. And what better way to celebrate afterwards than with a German Bitburger beer?

New Zealand's Lyttelton Urban Downhill is one of the gnarliest mountain bike races on earth, winding it's way through the coastal Kiwi town with a crazy mix of dirt single-track, high-speed pavement sections, and massive jumps. The event always produces some great slams and sketchy makes, and this edit, which captures Isaac Luoni's run via both epic drone shots and full-bore POV footage, has a little bit of everything. Spoiler alert: Luoni gets a full pull on this one, but it's still a must watch for all you backseat adrenaline junkies out there.
If you haven't seen Luc Legrand and Erik Elstran's doubles curved wallride that went down on filming trip to Belgrade last summer, then sit down, shut up, and watch. There have been plenty of gnarly BMX wallrides over the years, but this rollercoaster doozy, which they both conquer solo and then hop on simultaneously, is easily one of (if not the) best we've ever seen. Check it out and let us know what you think.
Outside of woodland dirt courses, rural BMX spots are few and far between. You have to see things creatively if you want to ride in the countryside, and nothing encapsulates that better than Bad 4 Life's Bush League 2–Barking Up the Wrong Tree, which finds the Saskatchewan-based bike crew combining old plywood and natural farm obstacles to create one of the most unique BMX edits we've seen in quite awhile. Artfully shot and full of solid riding from Brodie Gwilliam, this one will make you think twice the next time you complain about your over-waxed ledge spot or janky local skatepark.
If you do a BMX trick into grass it doesn't count. Period. End of story. So on this week's Crooked World BMX we imagine a patch of grass that magically follows you everywhere and made every trick not count. For some riders that would be a nightmare; welcome to the curse of the grass.
Do tricks into grass count? Tell us in the Comments.
Morgan Wade and Drew Bezanson are two of the raddest riders on earth, able to crush pristine contest courses and rough street terrain alike. What happens when you take these two off the beaten path though? Well, Red Bull's Dark Woods, which finds the duo ripping a killer ramp tucked in a South Wales woodland, has all the answers. (Spoiler Alert: They still kill it.)
Silas Patlove was just out for a leisurely ride on his Specialized Tarmac SL3 Pro cycle heading down Alexander Avenue towards Sausalito, CA. He was just minding his own business when a deer came completely out of nowhere and essentially tackled Patlove. Just wait for it, this may be one of the biggest surprise videos of 2014. Thankfully Patlove had minor injuries. The deer though, he cannot speak for.

Earlier this summer Dan Paley posted up in LA to stack some clips with his homies at On Some Shit and Dub. It's a story you've heard before to be sure, but the footage Paley came through with is anything but ordinary, especially the Staples Center ender that has to be seen to believed. Check it out and, while you're at it, make sure to pick up some swag from OSS x Dub's limited edition collab collection.
In the latest installment of Crooked World BMX, bike wizard Glenn Salyers gets a solo session at The Kitchen and cooks up some crazy moves for another killer episode of Calling The Shots. Sit back and watch as bars get spun, feet get planted, and things get weird.
Iceland is hot right now. Well, not that kind of hot, but you know what I mean. In search of some of the most unspoiled terrain on earth, Red Bull and freeride legend Kyle Jameson headed to the raddest (and most remote) island in the North Atlantic for several days of epic downhill ripping. Even if you're not throwing tweaked turndowns and dropping in on volcanoes, this one, much like Jameson's recent trip to Africa, is going to make you want to get off the beaten path and ride.
For years, this rollerblader has owned the internet's crotch shot claim to fame thanks to one of the most hilarious (and painful) fails ever. And while that one may never be topped, Cody Anderson is ready to give him a run for his money with this brutal, second-story BMX slam. As Cody makes impact, keep your eyes trained on his seat, which, in this case, does more harm than good. Wooffff.
Before Gary Young became the legendary park shredder that we know today, he may have slammed his steel peg on the hood of a convertible BMW in a Burger King parking lot. You won't believe what Mr. Nice Guy did next as he tells his story on this episode of Crooked World BMX. Certainly the guiltiest conscience we've ever had on camera...

Yesterday (December 10) the city of Detroit officially came out of bankruptcy. Ending a 17-month ordeal stint as bankrupt, Detroit's challenges are truly just beginning. As Detroit mayor Mike Duggan told the New York Times yesterday, “How do you deliver service in a city where the unemployment rate is double the state average, and we’ve got to rebuild a water system and a bus system and a computer system and a financial system?”
Detroit has serious institutional overhauls that are needed across all city service realms to be put back on a path of sustainability and prosperity for its citizens. It's not only going to take diligence on the part of city leaders, but it's going to take more commitment on the part of its citizens.
Jordan Garland is one of those citizens. He's working on a documentary about Detroit told through the eyes of skating, BMX riding, art, and music. Garland believes that Detroit's hope lies in its citizens abilities to find creative outlets and passions. After all, human beings tend to operate at their highest levels when they're passionate about something.
So we sat down with Jordan to talk about the idea, the film, what's really going on in Detroit, and how he plans to help things get to where they need to be. The project, A Detroit Film, will all come together next year. For now, check out the trailer and head to asdetroitsown.com to see how you can get involved.
Pizza, everyone's favorite food group. And pizza with pepperoni? Get the f—k outta here. It's been a long time coming, but BMX riders have finally figured out the technology to make ramps out of pizza. The greatest part about this? After your session you've got a snack ready for ya.

BMX rider Nigel Sylvester and rapper Kendrick Lamar appear on Noisey's "Back & Forth" show down in Puerto Rico, where they go back and forth getting to know each other (see what we did there?). Nigel should bunnyhop more Playboy bunnies sometime soon—just sayin'.
Sam Bussell debuts his Hunt BMX video part on Crooked World BMX with insane rail slaying all over Colorado and Nebraska that would make even Brian Kachinsky's knees quiver. Watch Sam snap his frame backflipping on street, and free coasting before it was trendy. If Sam Bussell were a Viking his weapon of choice would be a gigantic battle ax but he'd also be able to field dress a squirrel with a pocket knife on Sunday.

Downhill mountain bike POV runs are almost always intense. This one from Dan Atherton at the Red Bull Hardline certainly fits that bill. Bumpy, rocky, steep, and teetering on out of control, this run will definitely get your stomach churning.

Is it just us or has this whole Black Friday thing gotten wayyyy outta hand? I mean have we become so consumed with consuming material things in America that we'll straight-up fight our fellow man or woman just for the best "deals" of the year during a time of year that is supposed to be all about others? Well, either way, this mashup of this year's Black Friday stampeding, fighting, and general mayhem will have you a little sick to your stomach realizing that there are people out there who go out and do this kind of idiotic stuff. I guess some people just can't turn down a "deal."
BMX street rider Calvin Kosovich takes you through a memorable meltdown that left him bruised and bleeding in the streets of SoCal. So he did what every sane person does: he went to town on his meaty paw with a tooth brush that probably wasn't even his. Definitely qualifies as one of the worst Worst Day Evers on Crooked World BMX.

It was only a matter of time before someone rode their mountain bike off a massive cliff and then pulled a parachute. And combining those two is like a merging of epic proportions that hasn't been seen since peanut butter and jelly got together back in ancient times. The possibilities with BASE jump mountain biking are endless.

Danny MacAskill does a lot of crazy things on his trials bike. Like riding in the mountains on the Isle of Skye or bunny-hopping Playboy Bunnies. So, for him, doing a full loop that's floating in the middle of the Thames River doesn't seem that implausible. Except that it's f—king ridiculous, and an even more ridiculous concept to even come up with. Was he just sitting there one day and thought, "You know what I should do? I should build a floating ramp with a full pipe on it in the middle of the Thames River and then ride it. I bet that hasn't been done before."
You win again MacAskill.

Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde has created a bike path with 50,000 luminescent chips that essentially glow in the dark. The chips are coated in a smart coating connected to a nearby solar panel, and the energy collected during the day lights the path up at night. Not only that, but they're also in a design based off of Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night painting, which makes sense because the path is located just a few miles from where van Gogh lived. This definitely makes for some cool night riding possibilities.

François Gissy is a hero. We'd call him an American hero, but he's French. He rode a rocket-propelled bicycle designed by his friend Arnold Neracher at a speed of 207mph while leaving a Ferrari F430 Scuderia in his dust. And he hit that top speed in 4.8-seconds. We're amazed he could even hold on.

Last winter we got to witness the awesomeness of ice truck. What's ice truck you ask? Well, it was a truck made of 11,000 pounds of ice that drives. With winter now approaching, the ever-ingenious Colin Furze contemplated what a bike with tires for ice would be like. And as he is the ultimate DIY guy, he built one. It doesn't go all that great on pavement, but it kinda rules it on a glacier.

Ever wonder what professional driver Ryan Tuerck does when he’s not competing on the Formula Drift circuit? Well, he kinda just messes around all summer and has a lot of fun hooning everything in sight. Sometimes that hooning includes a motocross bike and a BMX bike.
In this week's new episode of Tuerck'd, Ryan heads to friend Steve Angerman's house in New Jersey and utilizes his private motocross track—which naturally leads to a BMX backflip session into the lake. Then Chris Forsberg and Tuerck get into a missile drift session in his driveway prepping for the 2014 East Coast Bash.

Downhill mountain biker Tom Van Steenbergen witnessed Jeffer Herbertson land that insane 73-foot canyon gap backflip at this year's Red Bull Rampage. Van Steenbergen wanted to one up it by the biggest front flip in mountain biking history. He did everything right, but the shocks just couldn't handle it, and they bucked him over the handle bars. It ended in a brutal crash for Van Steenbergen, but he got up under his own power—and don't be surprised if he keeps trying to land this one.

Everybody loves a good slam, even if it involves (and it usually does) a kid getting wrecked. We've all been there. We can all appreciate the pain. But that's not going to stop us watching from watching and laughing, not as long as little rippers like this dude keep launching themselves into the air in the name of two-wheeled glory. Shout out to the homey who filmed this, slow mo'ed it, and threw it on the internet. You, my friend, are what makes the world go round.
Richie Trimble is a dreamer, an innovator, a man who has visions. He built the world's tallest bicycle, and then rode it.

Watch as Trimble takes over 100-hours to build Stoopidtaller, and then break the Guinness World Record riding it. Keep doing your thing Trimble.

In honor of keeping Austin weird, we bring you the weirdest BMX video that we could find from the Lone Star State for this new Crooked World BMX. We've certainly never seen a bunch of these tricks before—from candy bar hand rails, pegs in tight spaces, real life magic from Rob DiQuattro, and Magwheel Guy might as well be re-named Foot Loose with the dance move he drops on his bike.

BMX rider Dorian Coleman went for a barspin on a 10-stair. His hat foiled him though and caused him to slam right on his face. But that didn't deter Coleman. He got right back up and went for the barspin again. This time, with his hat cooperating, he nails it. Way to shake it off Coleman.

Kids are always trying to take over the world. Just last week we had the ridiculous introduction to that 2-year-old baby skater Baby Mitch. And though 10 seems like a more reasonable age for someone to be able to shred, don't let Jackson Goldstone fool you. He's been riding a bike since he was 2 and has begun to completely decimate any trail he hits with his mountain bike—his dad has trouble keeping up. We're certain we'll be hearing a lot more from Jackson soon.

The Zeal Ghetto Jam held in the United Kingdom is exactly what it sounds like: a thrown together BMX event of gritty riding on homemade features. And it's awesome. This year they decided to build a Sky Ring out of all the scrap wood for the BMX riders to hit. The Sky Ring is kind of like a toilet that you ride up and then flush yourself down. If you do it well, you swirl your way out. If you don't, well, it's bad. Chris Jenner does it well and shows the Sky Ring whose boss.

Growing up in the 1980s in Massachusetts, BMX rider Ryan Jordan used to watch older kids hit dirt jumps in the woods near his house.

When you ride as fast as Churchill does, there isn't much that you can't spin off of.
Mountain bike rider Cam Zink finished in third place at the Red Bull Rampage this past weekend. But no one was really talking about his result because they were too busy buzzing about the massive backflip that he threw down at the mountain bike contest in Virgin, Utah.

Even though he is now a legendary mountain bike rider who is known around the world, Jeff Lenosky started out as a skateboarder and a BMX rider. But eventually those pursuits weren't cutting it anymore for him.Growing up in New York City, he somehow found the young sport of mountain bike trials style street riding. On this week's episode of Dose, host Tim Brodhagen meets up with Lenosky at New Jersey's Mountain Creek to learn about the beginnings of the sport, his progression from trials style to downhill enduro, and how Giant Bicycle's new 27.5 inch tire is revolutionizing the sport.

Garrett Reeves rides so fast that when you watch clips of him, it looks like they've been sped up. Reeves rolls pegless, brakeless, and reckless. And it makes him one of the most thrilling BMX riders to watch. He got the last part in the first OSS video "Football" and for good reason. Check out the video to see Reeves when he was just a wee lad in a Washington Redskins jersey.
Pro BMX rider Christian Rigal was off the saddle for a minute after breaking his leg. But his new edit for United BMX shows that he has made a full recovery and then some. Perhaps doctors added some special bionic man-type parts while they were repairing his leg, because some of these tricks don't exactly look like they could be performed by a human.
BMX rider Edwin DeLaRosa has been running (and riding) the streets of New York City for a minute. He has seen lots of spots come and go, but his love for the city and his bike hasn't diminished one bit.
The Texas Toast BMX contest does things a little differently than your average BMX comp. That's a good thing because it means we get events like the Bell Challenge, which was sponsored by Creedence Bikes. A twist on the typical highest air contest, the Bell Challenge saw riders soar off a dirt jump and attempt to tap a cowbell that was attached to a pole. Most riders opted to throw in a whip to ring the bell but got a little more creative.

Tyrone Williams has been a fixture in New York City's BMX world for nearly two decades. But the rest of the world didn't hear about him until the video of him ripping around Brooklyn on a CitiBike went viral last week. Well, Williams is back to show that he is still holding it down on the BMX bike. He dropped in on a massive wall and stomped the landing so hard that he flattened both of his tires. Let's see him do that on a CitiBike.
But he's not going to let it stop him from nailing an icepick on a big fence. Ryan Fudger was part of a BMX crew that got down at some schools in Los Angeles recently. In addition to Fudger's icepick, Jackson Ratima also put down a nice line.
Check out Zack Warden landing his new backflip combination in the GoPro BMX Big Air at X Games Barcelona 2013.
Dutch BMX rider Daniel Wedemeijer will join the Nitro Circus show for two events in Holland this year. To get ready, Wedemeijer went to Los Angeles to train with some of the other athletes in Nitro Circus. That meant hitting the Nitro Circus Megaramp for the first time. Megaramps are one of those things whose size doesn't really hit you until you see it in person (like a whale, or Kim Kardashian's butt). Undeterred, Wedemeijer sends it down the ramp and does a backflip first try. And THAT'S how you impress the Nitro Circus talent scouts.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF DANIEL WEDEMEIJER'S RIDING? TELL US IN THE COMMENTS BELOW.
The final day of this year's Simple Session included the finals, best trick contest, and much more. Check out everything that went down when BMX took over Estonia.
Sure, Cam Zink's backflip at this year's Red Bull Rampage got all the play and was awarded the Best Trick award. But Kelly McGarry's backflip at the mountain bike contest cannot be overlooked. It was a 72-foot backflip across a canyon in the Utah location. McGarry won the silver medal at Red Bull Rampage (one-upping Zink, who took home bronze). Warning: Do not watch this video if you are prone to carsickness or get dizzy easily. Actually, do. We want to see what happens.
When you look good, you perform good. That applies to BMX bikes, too. Scotty Cranmer has his pro model Hyper bike dialed in from the grips to the tires. Part of getting his bike set up just the way he wants it involves a few custom modifications such as cutting down his handlebars to keep things lean and mean.
It's time to start working on your "Pancake" and "Wood chipper." Profile BMX teammates Mark Mulville and Matt Coplon take turns calling the shots for each other in the latest episode of Crooked World BMX. Riding on a truly bizarre backyard ramp setup, Mulville and Coplon set about inventing tricks that are equally unique.
Bmx rider Steve Woodward heads down to San Diego and rips Dennis Enarson's backyard ramps a new one! Steve is one of the few guys still throwing down scary peg less-over-icepicks like the ones in this clip. Heavy!

Being a street BMX rider takes creativity and ingenuity. Most of the time, spots are not laid out for you on a platter for you to choose from. You have to come up with your own lines and make your own tricks. On the second episode of Asphalt NYC director René Sascha Johannsen links up with New York City BMX rider Desmond Rhodes to find out what it takes to make it as a BMX pro in NYC. (Hint: You can't be afraid to ride on a NYPD police cruiser.)
The folks at the German BMX shop Kunstform just put out a mixtape featuring riders Jonas Bader, Sebastian Pospischi and Sebastian Nietsche. It's dope to see the members of the crew each put their individual stamp on just a handful of spots.
Stevie Churchill doesn't ride for Demolition BMX or wear super tight T-shirts anymore. But back when he did, he pulled a 360 at the famous 20-stair El Toro gap. Churchill had been going for a truckdriver at the spot, but he had to settle for the 360. Not that anyone in the right mind would ever consider landing a 360 at El Toro "settling."
If you thought Formula Drift star Ryan Tuerck was just a guy who drifts cars, this week's episode of Tuerck'd will enlighten you. Tuerck has the ultimate visit to New York City, showing off his BMX skills, shotgunning beers, and getting a tattoo. But don't worry, he also found time for plenty of drifting, including some burnouts in front of the Empire State Building.
What do you think of Tuerck's NYC adventures? Tell us in the Comments below.
Canadian BMX rider Jared Chilko joins the United Bike team by dropping this hefty edit from the streets of his homeland.

Free Agent BMX and Rockstar pro rider TJ Ellis lets loose at the Stay Strong Compound with an action packed Super Session before heading to the Masters of Dirt in Austria! TJ dumps it all out for Stephen Murray in the Inland Empire with a variety of tricks and plenty of style. If you can understand a word TJ is saying, you must have super powers!

They're for storing your bike, not launching your bike.
Crooked World BMX just released this edit of Justin Coble from a recent trip to San Diego (which as Ron Burgandy knows, means "whale's vagina" in German). Coble seemed to adjust to the San Diego lifestyle quite nicely. He hit the streets and got in a park session before launching himself off a garage or two.
Dan Setmeyer hails from Chicago and rides his BMX bike in ways that most people only imagine. He likes to jump off roofs and fly over fences, as you can see in his full part here on this week's Crooked World BMX. And we're fairly certain that his awesome abilities on a BMX bike come from that wicked handlebar mustache he sports.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF DAN SETMEYER'S CROOKED WORLD BMX PART? TELL US YOUR THOUGHTS IN THE COMMENTS BELOW.
We head there on this week's Crooked World BMX is worldwide. This week the crew went to Australia to film with BMX riders Josh Irvine and Tim Storey who hail from the land down under. Many things in Australia are different than they are in the United States, the direction toilets flush for example. Thankfully "Calling the Shots" is played the same. Irvine and Storey threw some insanely technical BMX tricks at each other and nailed them flawlessly at Thornlands Skatepark in Brisbane.

If you are familiar with Grant Castelluzzo's riding than you know what you're going to get. If you're not, well what you get is incredibly technical street variations and combos that are mind-blowingly difficult.
