Federal Bikes: Liberté

/

/

The forth and final instalment from Federal Bikes for this year in what has been an epic series of videos filmed and directed by Rich Forne.. I’m going to keep this minimal as you need to watch this with some good volume. Take a break from Christmas shopping, writing out cards, or being at work still and watch this next 10 minutes of amazing riding from the team. Featuring Dan Lacey, Bruno Hoffmann, Anthony Perrin and James Cunningham.

Federal Bikes: Loose Change

/

/

Okay, so I had the chance to watch this last week while I was down at Federal HQ in Hastings and the first time I watched it I was a little shook up about it, not necessarily in a bad way but I knew i’d not seen much like this before and Rich Forne is someone I can say wholeheartedly pushes the boundaries with filming and editing and direction.

So sit down, turn the speakers right up before you hit play because the sound track is going to push you with your emotions and some of the imagery we see in this little feature is shot like its going to be part of an epic feature in the cinema. A great mix of style, framing, lighting, emotion and topped off by some amazing riding from the Federal Bikes team riders: Stevie Churchill, Michal Smelko, Joe Jarvis, Carlo Hoffmann, Mirco Andreani, Jordan Aleppoo, and new addition to the crew Jakub Juza.

Sit back and enjoy the next ten minutes and if you have any doubts watch it again as I did and take in what Rich and the Federal guys have put together..

Federal x Substance: Joe Jarvis @ Unit 23

/

Don’t know much about Joe Jarvis other than he rides for Federal Bikes and Substance BMX, Glasgow. He recently spent some time up at Unit 23 with the Substance crew and getting a bit of filming done with steadi-Jonny Ashworth. It’s s decent edit, Joe has lots of moves going down, tech as hell but lets see a street edit guys.. Tis the season to get out there and no doubt it would be good to watch just like this one, enjoy and g’night.

Brighton Ain’t Ready: 6 Years On Documentary

When the very first Brighton Ain’t Ready went down I was luck enough to be asked to photograph/document the crazy riding and good times that went on in the BAR House. Six years on Mike King and Bakos were behind the lenses of the video and the stills, smashing out an amazing video which you can watch here if you haven’t seen it yet. With riders from around the world and all the biggest names it is too good not to give a watch for FREE! Read more →

Federal Bikes: Anthony Perrin

I’m sure Anthony has already been added to the Federal team and done a welcome edit before but French bike shop BMX Avenue have just dropped a welcome edit, a welcome to Federal edit.. confusing but anyways you’ll be more than confused when you see the last hammer that he pulls out the bag.. I have no idea how he held on?

Brilliant edit, lots of smooth riding, wicked summery tune to accompany, get on it if you haven’t already.

Federal: Stevie Churchill 2013 and new Federal site

/

/

Hot on todays news feeds is all things Federal. First of all Federal have a brand new website, after using the old style for a little while now it’s good to see that they’ve totally refreshed it and give it a good old change up. And then if that wasn’t enough they dropped a huge edit with Stevie Churchill who spent a few weeks in the sunny UK with Mike King filming this killer edit. Enjoy one of the best videos all day..

Federal: Stevie Churchill and Jordan Aleppo, Our House

/

It’s sad to see it happening but the Our House edits are coming slowly to an end as the warehouse will be closing it’s doors any day now. I have been informed that a final farewell edit will be dropping in the distant future. But anyways until that all happens you should cast your eyes over this banger of an edit featuring two Federal riders Stevie Churchill and Jordan Aleppo. Stevie has been staying in the UK over the past month and Jordan is a Hastings/Bexhill local so they teamed up to do a little edit. Both these guys kill it in this..

Federal: Barcelona 2013

/

I think my eyes have had all the candy they could take in this 9 minute epicsode by Federal BMX. Basically Federal have a killer team, if you didn’t know all ready, and they’ve just shipped all of them from the States and Europe over to Barcelona for a nice 9 day trip in the sun with filmer and editor Will Evans. Featuring Dan Lacey, Bruno Hoffmann, Matty Long, Stevie Churchill, Roy Van Kempen, Medhi Vivens, Michal Smelko and Jason Eustathiou prepare for some next level shit, get ready to pick yourself off the floor and no matter what the weather is like tomorrow you’re going to want to probably ride after watching it. I can’t believe the stuff i’ve just seen in the edit, they pretty much shut every spot they rode, lots of unseen spots too thanks to their guide Fernando Olaiz. Not going to spoil it too much for you but the Macba set gets shut down at the end, amazing!
