With only a few days remaining in 2017, it’s time once again for our annual year end list of the top videos from the past year. Take a look back with us at some of the videos that we felt made the strongest impression on our viewers and the scene as a whole. The list is in no particular order and is not based off of any web statistics or analytics. Simply put, there are no winners or losers. With that in mind, we invite you to sit back, re-watch and enjoy.

Tom Nguyen’s new video “Sorry For Partying!” premiered in Philadelphia on Friday, June 23rd. After the release of the videos trailer online we expressed our interest in the video and a private link of the final cut was made available to us for review twenty four hours prior to the videos premiere.
“Sorry For Partying!” was filmed by Tom Nguyen using a VX2000 / VX2100 over the past two years and features a cast of fifty five BMX riders from all over the East Coast and beyond. The run time is on par with most full length BMX videos with a duration of just under twenty two minutes.
The videos party theme provides a great vibe and the intro sets the pace for the following sections. “SFP” does a great job in wasting no time building it’s momentum. The intro is a blend of random party footage, slams and teases of some of what is in store throughout the video. From start to finish the video is consistent in the level of riding being presented and the flow of each of it’s sections. The video is composed of four well structured mix sections, and a full length closing section from Andrew White.

“Sorry For Partying!” is packed with diverse street riding and a wide array of styles due to the large cache of riders it showcases throughout each of the videos four mix sections. It would be impossible to talk about this video and not acknowledge the work that Adem Gunaydin put in for his footage. I went in watching this video anxious to see Adem’s footage and he really delivered. Adem closes out the second section of the video with one of the most creative and impressive rooftop moves I have seen.
The fourth mix section of the video is a Philly mix which features riding from the Chocolate Truck crew and friends. Although a lot of the Chocolate Truck crews footage has been seen through Instagram clips filmed on cell phones, it was refreshing to see those clips in DV format and edited together.
Some other highlights throughout the video include Fateem Williams who shuts down the third mix section, the LFS guys, Brett Tocco who provides some of the videos most creative riding, Brandon Bunting who drops a big three down a stair set in the first mix section, Breyon Woods for closing out the fourth mix along with the Chocolate Truck crew, Dave Raffa, Pat Schlitzer, Baboon, Court Freeman, Colin Varanyak, Chase Dehart, Jersey Joe, and too many others.

The final section of the video belongs to Andrew White who closes out “SFP” with it’s only non mix section. Andrews section is made up of a lot of technical street moves, bangers and his own unique style of riding. Having the closing and only non mix section is pretty heavy but Andrew manages to come through with some of the videos best riding. The final trick of the video is on a setup that literally has everything wrong with it and watching Andrew roll away is near perfect. Cue the credits.
Tom Nguyen did a great job all around with this project between the filming, editing, promotion, Everything was on point. I’ll be very interested to see more works from Tom in the future. Easily one of my favorite aspects of this video is how many riders it’s drawn my attention to that I was previously unaware of. “Sorry For Partying!” is a must see / own video for any East Coast BMX enthusiast. Copies of the DVDs will be available for purchase in the coming weeks. Special thanks to Tom for setting up a private viewing of the video.
