Let’s take a look at Karl Hinkley’s current bikes…

Karl Hinkley BMX Bike Check Nowear

When you think about BMX, there are a lot of riders that like to follow the trends and do the things that are popular or the current flavor of the week. There’s a lot of those style riders, but there’s also another group of people who like to do their own thing. These riders really stand out with their unique style, tricks and overall perspective of BMX. If you’re from the Midwest, you undoubtedly know who Karl Hinkley is. Karl is the ringleader behind Nowear that started out as a clothing brand and has evolved into a frame and parts brand, stunt show team and a non-profit skatepark out in Nebraska! Today is Karl’s 40th birthday, so we worked with Cody Dixon to give you a look at both of Karl’s current bikes that utilize the Nowear DiNello Frame that is far from traditional, trendy or anything like that! Karl is a one of a kind guy that crushes it on a bike and helps push BMX in a positive light, and we’re always stoked on what he has going on. Happy Birthday, Karl! Now, let’s take a look at these dialed units…
