As we count down the final hours of 2018, 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 on 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.

1. Adem Gunaydin – Welcome To Legend Bikes USA
https://www.ridepabmx.com/adem-gunaydin-welcome-to-legend-bikes/

In August we exclusively premiered Adem Gunaydin’s ‘Welcome To Legend Bikes USA‘ video here on the site. Adem’s inaugural video is packed from start to finish with solid riding and jaw-dropping bangers. The video was filmed and edited by Nick Elison with additional filming provided by Chris Girouard. Adem is currently recovering from knee surgery he had earlier in the year, and we hope to see him back on his bike in 2019!

Uncovered BMX Stop Two

While digging through our video archives from this past year and continuing with our theme of back-posting, we also noticed that the second stop from the Uncovered BMX contest was absent. That simply won’t do, so here’s a look back at the second stop of the series.

The second stop of the Uncovered BMX contest series took place at The Wheel Mill in Pittsburgh, PA on Sunday, February, 25th. The event included special judges, announcers, and of course, a ton of wild riding. The event also helped catapult ‘Mad Mike’ Guth into the wild card spot at the Battle Of Hastings.

Results:
Semi-Pro – 1st – George Duran, 2nd – Nick Fix, 3rd – Jordan Capece
Intermediate – 1st – Maxx Corbett, 2nd – Ryan Sanborn, 3rd – Tyler Cramer

Adem Gunaydin – Welcome To Legend Bikes

Ride PA BMX is proud to present the exclusive premiere of Adem Gunaydin’s “Welcome To Legend Bikes” video. Adem was picked up by Legend Bikes shortly after the third and final stop of the Uncovered BMX series which took place at the Four Seasons Skatepark in Milwaukee earlier this year. While Adem has been recovering from surgery on his ACL, MCL, and meniscus, his “Welcome Edit” is composed of footage that pre-dates his knee injury. The video was filmed and edited by Nick Elison with additional filming provided by Chris Girouard. Congratulations to Adem and we look forward to seeing him back on his bike soon.
