La Banger has starred in several of the best videos that Argentine bmx has seen, such as the video JAMMIN X LA BANGER TRIP 2022 (WATCH HERE)
In January 2022, supported by jammin distro, we met in the city of Carlos Paz, (Hernan Rimoldi and Jose Gelatti), to undertake this journey aboard Pepe's reliable Peugeot 505, the idea was clear. connecting the province of Cordoba with Neuquen, visiting the different jammin riders along the way and portraying them as locals in their bikeparks, streets, skateparks. We would start with the classic reservoir bikepark sharing the walk and recording with Andres Medina, a good dose of neatness and perfect executions on large ramps. Next stop San Luis, there Seba Solano was waiting for us in the dirt of the Parque de las Naciones to challenge physics with some of his turns, with a good dose of dirt we left for Mendoza where we would meet Julian Persia to tour the streets and parks of Mendoza , taking advantage of the pass through the Andean city, we met Liso Villar to explore some hidden channels on the side of the mountain and bathe them in an almost frozen river.
This cold water came in handy for the hot days that awaited us. We headed towards Neuquén along route 40, an exhausting experience with the 40 degrees it was doing and the eternal straight lines of almost destroyed routes that we traveled, but with only one thing in mind, finishing on the legendary Neuquén track, the TDT, to register pepe flowing in these waves of land and share some sess and many beers with all the locals. In short, a good trip, the bodies came back broken the same way, it was an exceptional trip and full of brutal bmx, this video was released on March 20, 2023
Marcos Paillalef was filming with LA BANGER for several months filming the "crudo" video part for the small Cordovan brand called GROUND BIKES , this audiovisual work was produced in 3 cities, Trevelin and Esquel in the province of Chubut and in Cordoba, although most of the clips were filmed in Cordoba, the filming process for this video lasted 2 years.
For this video, the most brutal spots of each city were chosen, in which the harshness that is lived in the streets of Argentina is reflected.

Patricio Lala in dirts "tiempos de tierra"
Somewhere in the province of Neuquén, are the tierra blanca dirts, which emerge like monuments under the Patagonian sun. Beings dedicate themselves to the creation and maintenance of these monoliths worthy of respect between surfing and flights. This place is known as DTT, rather @tiemposdetierra.666

VILLAGE CINEMA
Young villagers traveling through the great nation of tango, recording the rawness of bmx in town and in "the villas" around all of Argentina, filming great video parts in rough neighborhoods or in distant towns is a great odyssey, because of how expensive it is it is to finance each project of this and for the great distances to travel, but LA BANGER has made it real, marking the essence of bmx in a culturally rich nation.
