With just a few days until the 4th of July and the Salute to the 4th BMX Contest that we’re helping to throw at Silverlake Skatepark here in Rochester, Minnesota. We have a bunch of prizes showing up on the doorstep to give away for some of the winners of the contest. Our friends over at Fly Bikes were more than gracious enough to hook us up with one of their 2015 Proton complete bikes to give away to one of the winners of the contest, so we wanted to take a minute to give you a closer look at this bike as a thank you, and because let’s be real… It’s one dialed BMX bike! Above you can find a quick time-lapse we put together from building up the bike which took only about 15 minutes start to finish. After you make the jump we’ll give you the full specs and some close up photos giving you a better look at this bike! Ready? Let’s do this!
