BMX Bike Check

Karl Poynter Bike Check

March 13, 2014

I’ve known Karl for quite a few years now, and one thing I have come to know with him is that his bikes are always DIALED. Recently, he made some sponsor changes and found himself a home on DECO and even got some help with parts from Profile Racing. Now his bike is looking and running better than ever. We figured now would be a good time to catch up and take a closer look at this free coasting machine and get a little update on what’s new! Let’s take a peek! You can find the full bike check below, with larger photos right here

Jordan Stump Bike Check

February 28, 2014

In the past year or so, we’ve been seeing Jordan’s name popping up more and more through different videos that surfaced online between The Daily Grind‘s edits to his parts in the Word videos. It seems like in the past few months, it’s been more and more frequently and it’s definitely a good thing because Jordan kills it on the streets! We caught wind that he just got on the flow team for Mankind and just built himself up a brand new setup! We figured there’s no way we could pass up a fresh new bike and get a chance to find out a little bit more about this dude, so we caught up with him for a brand new bike check! Let’s take a closer look at this street machine!

Although we just caught up with Grant the other week, we heard that he built up a fresh new setup recently. So while Grant was down in Florida for the recent Profile Racing #EscapeParkTour, we had Brett Rohlfing catch up with the crew and get us a closer look at his new Mutiny Rune setup. This is one clean and dialed looking street machine that’s for sure. Let’s take a peek at just what Grant is running these days and get a little progress report on his signature frame that is in the works as well!

Dan Kruk Bike Check

February 13, 2014

If Dan Kruk isn’t a name that’s on your radar just yet, I’d suggest you get familiar because based off his latest video for Stolen, he’s been progressing so fast and dropping some serious hammers out on the streets lately. After checking out his latest video, we hit Dan up to see what was new and he mentioned that he was just about to build up a fresh setup thanks to a new shipment of goodies from Madera. We figured that was perfect enough timing to take a closer look at his dialed new unit and find out what else he has going on these days! Let’s take a peek at his bike, then watch that new edit (again) at the bottom of this to see just what I’m talking about!

Jeff Dowhen Bike Check

I’ve known Jeff for a long time now… I couldn’t tell you exactly how we met, but that doesn’t really matter. What I’m getting at is, over the years I’ve learned that Jeff is one of those people who truly believes in riding things until they’re properly worn out. Taking a closer look at his bike, you can see he’s a firm believer in that methodology, and thanks to BSD and Madera, his bike is always running good regardless if it’s brand new or parts he has been running for a year. We decided with him having a fairly new setup for a change, it would be a good time to take a closer look at his current ride! Let’s take a closer look at this dialed unit!

Troy Merkle Bike Check

January 10, 2014

The other day we were talking with Troy Merkle to see what was new with him for 2014 and it turns out the The Daily Grind‘s designated free coasting machine had just built himself up a fresh setup for the new year. We figured it was a good time to do a quick bike check to get a closer look at this dialed unit and find out what else is going on in Troy’s world these days! Let’s take a look!

Jon “Gremlin” Betchtold Bike Check

December 31, 2013

When you think about all of the gnarly shit that a BMX bike gets put through these days, it’s easy to get worried about parts snapping, cracking and popping. One dude, who I know has been putting parts through hell and back for years is The Daily Grind‘s owner, Jon “Gremlin” Betchtold, who has heard and seen all of those things happen and that’s why he went into business to create some products that are built to withstand the hell you can put them through.
We figured it was a good time to catch up with Gremlin to take a closer look at his setup that he is currently working with these days! She might be a little rough around the edges with scratches and dents, but that’s nothing but character and proof that it’s been put to the test. Let’s take a closer look!
