Most dirt jumping pictures have similar backdrops…trees, mounds of dirt…in Henderson, Nevada the backdrop is a little different.
This local spot, the Monkey Face jump, kinda has an ugly name, but it sure makes up for it with its beautiful scenery.
Tribute Bikes rider, Mike Leonard blasts one out at the Monkey Face for your viewing pleasure. Sal Alvarado, behind the lens, captures the moment for posterity.
A BMX bike rolling on 29″ wheels might not strike you as one suitable for shredding on….
Wheelies? Sure.
Kickouts off of curb cuts? Why not.
Shredding dirt jumps? Probably not….right?
Well, it looks like Todd Lyons might have some other ideas about that.
Check out these shots of Todd kicking out the jams at the dirt jumps aboard the SE Big Ripper. (They’ve been circulating around the internet for the past couple days and definitely caught my attention.)
Who knew that you could shred like this on the Big Ripper?
And imagine the speed you could carry on these big wheels too.
Radness.
Back in October, we checked out some great shots of Buddy Sardenga busting out his Beelzebike the 20 666 ‘er at the Allied Compound in Manor, Texas (just outside of Austin).
Now we’ve got some video.
Not only do you get Buddy shredding (big beard, big bike, white helmet and red Vans) but also Vernon from Indust riding one of his 22 inchers and Hippie Josh who handled the majority of the filming (along with riding).
Looks like good times at a super fun spot.
Buddy Sardenga’s custom Beelzebike the 20 666 ‘er turned a lot of heads last week with it’s ready-to-rip geometry and cool looks.
Good looks aside, I think you (and I) want to see this whip in action.
Thankfully, Buddy was kind enough to send some pics along of him putting the Beelzebike through its paces at the Allied Compound in Manor, Texas.
Check out this great shot of Buddy sailing over the first jump at the Allied Compound.
Or this clicked X-up.
And this is probably my fave, sweet table over the hip.
So rad.
