DIG x MARIUS DIETSCHE — “Hell Nah” video part will leave you speechless.

DIG: “In the fast-moving, instant gratification obsessed, modern world, the dedication and persistence that is required to film a full video section is even more impressive. This one from latest DIG cover boy and United team rider, Marius Dietsche, is more than just a video—it’s his defining imprint on BMX. He wanted something that he could proudly show his grandkids one day, and he’s certainly done just that. On the final stretch of the three year process of filming for this video, Marius ended up in hospital for two weeks, in an induced coma, with broken bones, damaged spleen, and bleeding on the brain. And then after being moved to a special recovery unit for two months, he’s finally out and can enjoy the fruits of his labour. We couldn’t be prouder of what Marius has achieved with this. You’ll never guess the banger!”
