Brandon Webster has a quick interview on BMX Union right now where he talks about all his recent traveling, sponsorships, and influences in his few short years riding. He’s leading the charge of a growing number of young and humble riders that seem to learn everything on their bike very fast, and we are psyched for all of his success. This is also a good time to mention that he won a spot for this summer’s LA X-Games with his Red Bull Phenom entry. Congrats Brandon!

As part of a summer tradition, a large number of us are heading out on a roadtrip tonight. Last year, we went East to Montana and this year we’ll be exploring the oddities that are the skateparks of the Oregon Coast. To make it a bit more interesting, we’ve split into two teams for the BMX Gallery Ride to Glory Contest.

Keep an eye on the Embassy Facebook page for a few updates along the way and watch for some content on the site later this summer. For now, check out the video from last year’s Montana trip, posted above.

Last month a small contingent of BMXFU folk took a trip to Akron, OH for a quick weekend of riding, filming, farting, and drinking. Trent Barker shot photos along the way and today we bring you a small gallery from their time there. Check out more after the link below.

A few weeks ago, a big FU crew drove down to Akron and spent the weekend grinding big rails and bigger women. Beers were drank, tits were sucked, farts were whiffed, and we rode a little bit too. I shot a few photos in between sampling the many wonderful beverages that Ohio gas stations had to offer.

JT uploaded a lengthy mix section from the Blazeguard DVD and this shit is good. Blazeguard level filming/editing, chill soundtrack, and super good riding from Travis Sexsmith, the Bolter Brothers, Zac Miner, Jason Teet, and a whole lot more. Jase.

It’s summer, the weather is awesome and everyone is out shredding. This also means there’s a bunch of rad events going down across Canada. This one is still a couple weeks away but if your anywhere around Montreal, start planning to get out to D-structure in St Julie, QC July 27th.

BMX Gallery 4130 are running a rad Ride to Glory contest from July 6 till July 20th. Click here for all the details:

“Here are the details for the Ride to Glory contest that we are doing this July. The contest is very simple, get a group of friends (or do it solo) and get as many of the 70 odd tasks completed and win a HUGE prize pack. Most tasks are worth 50 points, but some have bonus points, or are even worth 200 points…. some examples are:

  • Tuck no hander off a ledge for 50 points
  • Get a cop to bunnyhop your bike for 50 points

In order to complete a task you must have video evidence. You can either Instagram video each task with #BG4130R2G and your team name hashtagged, or compile clips to make a 5 min or less edit (hint bonus points for edit). We will also be dropping BONUS TASKS on our site, so keep an eye out for them.

There is no limit on team size, so if you want to get every rider in your town in on it, that is totally cool. The only thing is that you must hand in your team roster BEFORE you get the task list. Teams may register at the shop starting on July 6th, or email us your team roster, and we will email the task sheet if you are from out of town. If you are over 18, please ask for the 18+ tasks as well…”

This is an awesome idea and is open to the whole country so get in on it!!
