Check out this absolute beastly edit, with some sick tricks at Ivan’s favorite spot in Russia!

Storm are still beasting, even though they’re just having a chilled training session. We especially enjoyed seeing Blue back again after a pretty bad injury months ago.

Tim’s also progressing a lot lately and we can’t wait to see what he comes up with next, 2:20 was just beautiful.

Here’s a cheeky little edit we put together of an afternoon we spent on a farm while driving from Paris to Basel. We had been cramped up in the VW for way to long so we decided to make a stop and see if we could get some cool footage. Enjoy.

If you watch action sports videos you probably got to watch this amazing BMX edit that RedBull dropped yesterday.
The distances Drew covers with his jumps are unbelievable, so take a look.

What we actually enjoyed a lot was the “Behind the Scenes”-video they released along to it. The way they shoot and Drew’s approach to filming and riding reminded us of ourselves and the feeling of putting together a new edit.

Riga just opened a cute little Park, check out Pasha, Stas and Zhorik throwing some beast tricks:

3 Men and 3 Women will win an all-payed trip to the comp in Santorini this year. To be one of the few selected people you have to submit your video to Red Bull, following very specific rules.

Judges for the Online Qualifier
Red Bull Art Of Motion Judges

Judging Criteria
Judges will not look for the highest drop or the craziest move. They will look for a clean style and an original way of moving. We’d like to see combinations of moves that are well put together. We will not judge the editorial skills on the video we are only interested in your freerunning skills.

Judging Criteria Detail
- Execution: Show that you have control of your movements. Safe landings are very important to the judges.
- Flow: combinations, nicely planned lines and continuous movement will be rewarded
- Technical difficulty
- Creativity: Use your body and your surroundings in a creative way.

Before you grab your camera and go outside we gathered the winning submission videos of last years WildCard-Winners for some inspiration.

EA just revealed that they’ve been working on a sequel to Mirror’s Edge – one of the first games to use Freerunning – and released this trailer to go along with it.

The graphics look amazing and we can expect the Freerunning to be as solid and intuitive as in the first part. Bring it on!

Red Bull dropped the bomb today:
The Art of Motion Santorini is happening on September 14th. If you don’t know what that is, you must be new to this, click here and and watch our video from last year:

Aight, so outside of the epic spots, girls in bikinis and the top athletes showing up, what’s exciting about this year?

A total of 18 athletes are going to compete, which include the top 8 from last year, 6 online-qualifiers, 4 through on-location qualifiers.

We really like how Red Bull opens the game to up-and-comers through the online qualifiers. Definitely keep your eyes open on the 17th of June, when they release what kind of video they are looking for. They also mentioned a camp prior to the event, we are excited what this is about, but it sounds like a fun time for everybody involved.

For a few more details you can click here and we’ll keep you posted on everything around the biggest contest this year.

Keelung is a city in Taiwan in which somewhere you can find this abandoned housing complex.
The reasons for it being abandoned are unknown and the nature is slowly taking it back.

All the levels and balconies look amazing for Freerunning, we’d love to jump on a plane and session there.
