DIG’s latest installment in their ‘In The Cut’ series takes aim at The Street Series which invaded the streets of Philadelphia yesterday (July 22nd.) Rob Dolecki was on hand during the event to capture some of the madness on DIG’s behalf. The event turned out hundreds of BMX riders that took over the streets (and rooftops) of North Philadelphia for their chance to win the ring and celebrate National BMX Day. In the end, Mike Guth took home the ring with some heavy moves throughout the day including a big 180 over a handrail and a backwards rail to 180 out.
