Escape From Mumbai
BMX in India is hard work

Nathan Williams, Aaron Ross and Tommy Dugan head to Mumbai and find out how hard it is to ride BMX in India.

“…It had been one of the craziest days of my life, and it wasn’t even noon yet…”

Private Property
Don’t be a dick and don’t be dicks

We headed South to check out a bunch of Private skateparks, including the Seventies ‘Our House’, Webbies Ghetto Shed, The Forte Barn and Unit 6 in Bournemouth.

“…We are the ones who have to foot the bill at the end of the day if things get fucked up…”

When The Shit Hits The Pan
Getting ill on the road with team DK

DK riders, Brian Hunt, Anthony Watkinson and Chris Childs head to not so great, Kentucky on a two week trip.

“…Sure, Kentucky isn’t exactly on the top of my list of places to hang out, but at least it’s not Ohio…”

Lost For Words
Behind the scenes with Harry Main as he films his latest Nike Edit

We followed Harry Main around Spain as he filmed his latest Nike edit with Matty Lambert. We pinned Harry down to answer a bunch of Q&A on what filming that edit was like, what he likes/dislikes about filming web edits and what his plans are for the rest of the year. Definitely worth a read if you are a Harry fan…

“…stock DSLR filmers bore me, and filmers who don’t let the rider have any input on the edit or the filming…”

Bastard of a Trip
Riding, Hikung and Moaning in Porto with the Stereo UK Team

Stereo UK head to Porto and get lost, rained on and rained on some more…

“…I certainly didn’t go to Portugal to buy a coat…”

And also Anton McGuirk “Steps Up’ to the plate.
