Richmond’s own Pedal Power Bicycles played host to NYC’s FBM Bike Company this weekend, and the video of their time spent is a feast for the eyes for any BMX or skate fan.

“Riders came from far and wide, which was especially cool as it was a local effort for the kids, and everyone was stoked,” wrote the folks at FBM about their time at Pedal Power located at Staples Mill and Broad. “Just a few rails and ramps, some good vibes, and some two wheeled smiles…”

It appears they used the space behind Pedal Power Bicycle’s shop – notice the Anthem insurance building in the opening shot and the Exxon in the background of the trick course.

FBM plans a return to RVA later this month for a ‘Celebrity Invitational’ where they’ll stop at the infamous Southside skate and bike treasure, The Lost Bowl, and host some more BMX badassery – here’s some footage from other Lost Bowl rippers, and if you don’t know where the Lost Bowl is, start asking folks cause we aint telling.
