What’s not to say about the legend of Baco. Ground breaking riding by groundbreaking riders within absolute zero affinity for being serious. This documentary epitomizes the essence of our bmx subculture. And that’s about it. Get the box set and experience the progression of an important part of our bmx history (25 years in the making). All done with a giant laugh.

Thanks to Chad Degroot for hosting the kick ass (pre) event at Mr. Bike and Board which included a  make shift dirt jump, long jump of death, grind ledges and rails galore, and some weird looking wooden truck that I wish more people rode.

This made me proud of bmx in general, and our scene in particular. Enjoy some pics I grabbed over the course of the last hour.
