Moving up to Sunderland i always new that there was quite large BMX scene, but since moving here i've came to realize its larger then i had thought. Sunderland have many BMX riders from right across the city, from Shields all the way down to Ryhope. Now after doing a little research into some of the BMX groups around here, i managed to get some really good videos dug up from the present to back in 2000.
So one of the groups i came across was NSF, Northeast Street Foundation which was founded by Chris Souter who rode for Seventies and
Hoffman, now im not so sure on who excatly rides or rode for them but i have found edits of most NSF videos. I also found this"
If you look in the dictionary you'll see that the definition of street is NSF YOUTH CREW".NSF also had a BMX store in Newcastle.
NSF 1
So after a bit more of watching videos i've realised that
James Newrick whos in NSF1 now rides for S&M,4Down, Retribution, Hate and Team to Street.
Now another group of lads that I know, ride for SBR which stands for Sunderland BMX rebellion, now
SBR was founded by Martin Cook also known as 'Cookie', now on what i have found they have been going since like 2002 and have been producing since then with many street and park edits hitting thousands of views.
I have ridden with a few of the lads from the SBR and on what ive seen so far including videos, there no holding back really you've just have to get s*@t done and its all about the pegs. Now there is a end of 2010 video been mixed up as we speak and shall be dropped soon but thats for another post. Overall through the different riders i've met it has registered that Sunderland is about the pegs and i for one will not be changing my opinion on that one and will be sticking to my four pegs, i will drop news about the riding as it goes, also some of the riders from around Sunderland post on blogs so check out some links below to youtube pages and blogspots. Stay BAB.
