HARRYMAINIA 2 BMX Harry Main

Harry Main has just dropped HARRYMANIA 2 and trust us when we say the wait was worth it. Harry is a Liverpool local and world class BMX Pro for Monster Energy, Vans, Hyper and Skullcandy to name a few. He is constantly breaking boundaries and pushing his BMX to the absolute limits. When he’s not flying around the world competing in contests and filming insane videos like this one, you can find him effortlessly killing the Rampworx Jump Box!

We had to watch this video a few time just to process what we witnessed. We are not sure if it’s Harrys Vans shoes that are some how defying gravity or if its new signature model from Hyper, but this guy is defying the rules of gravity.

Last year Professional BMX rider Brett “Maddog” Banasiewicz won the Dew Cup in Ocean City, MD for BMX Park. A few days later he was competing again at the Vans Invitational at Virginia Beach contest. During the contest Brett had an extremely bad fall which rendered him unconscious, he was rushed to hospital in critical condition. The injury left him with serious brain damage which resulted in Brett having to learn to walk and speak again. Thankfully the Athlete Recovery Fund is available to help professional athletes like Brett that require assistance to help them recover.

This documentary film is different from most bmx videos, it was made with Jon Taylor to talk about his passion for bmx, his early days, how he evolved to who he is now, how bmx has changed throughout the years for him.

This is a short film for bmx riders (and non bmxers) of all ages to watch and enjoy, theres also some sick riding inside!!
