BMX and Unplanned Obsolescence

August 25, 2016

Anyone that has been in BMX for a long time (10+ years) knows how much product quality has improved over the years in just about every aspect. Those evolutions have lead to new standards in sizes and quality, or pushed brands to innovate a new system to ensure that it’s going to last longer than its competitor’s similar product. The crew over at The Merged decided to take a look at three key innovations that we’ve seen key improvements when it comes to freecoasters, cranks and axles. You can check it all out RIGHT HERE. It’s a super interesting read that you’ll probably be pretty stoked on!

Scotty Cranmer – Outside Sayreville Skatepark Session

August 24, 2016

We’re not quite sure why Scotty Cranmer ends up going to skateparks and they are locked, but it sure does happen a lot. Scotty, Big Boy and Cory Berglar tried to catch a session at the Sayreville skatepark, bit it was locked up so they decided to cruise around the outside of the park and find stuff to ride. Check out what went down!

“We drove over to Sayreville Skatepark in hopes of riding the cement bowl and the street plaza section! but when we got there the skatepark was closed… So instead of complaining and driving home in a bad mood we decided to make the best of the situation and do a 20 trick challenge around the park the the skatepark is in! Cory Berglar did a crazy bench gap to tail whip, and i found some really fun and unique stuff to ride! Big Boy did the typical Big Boy stuff including falling in a bush, falling in goose poop and also jumping in another lake! I really hope his bike is waterproof at this point! We had so much fun and we definitely made something out of nothing!”

Weird & Revered – Vagabundos En Espana

August 24, 2016

Just a couple of Canadians riding BMX bikes in Spain… Justin Schwanke made a trip on over to Spain to spend some time soaking up the sunshine, street, spots, skateparks and random antics that he could during his study abroad program. Here’s a look at everything that went down during his stay! Excellent riding, great spots and more… This is a great watch from start to finish. Hit play and check it out!

“Back in May I was in Barcelona for a study abroad program. This was my second time visiting the city. Although I didn’t get to ride as much as I intended due to school commitments, I made a deliberate effort to take in as much as possible this time around. With this video I wanted to capture not only some great travel memories, but also the vibes of the city. I’m a huge fan of live music and Barcelona is rich with street performers. The entirety of the video features street music I filmed when out riding or touring the city with friends. I also spent a great deal of time collecting B-Roll footage. I would often carry a camera in my pocket when wandering around or even commuting to school. As blown out as Barcelona may seem in the BMX world, it truly is a remarkable place; It’s a place filled with a vibrant outdoor culture, weird characters, and of course plenty of spots. I hope this video portrays some of the city’s nuances and perhaps inspires a few more people to experience it for themselves.” – Justin Schwanke / Weird & Revered
