SE Bikes – DBlocks Wheelies SoCal
We don’t see a ton of BMX videos out of the bigger bikes like SE Bikes‘s Big Ripper that is designed like a BMX bike but has 29″ wheels, but that doesn’t mean people aren’t getting wild on them. Here’s a video SE dropped of DBlocks getting down on one of the bikes. Plenty of wheelies in this one!
“Dblocks recently brought his wild wheelie skills out to sunny So Cal and luckily we were with him every step of the way. From Venice Beach to Santa Monica to Hollywood and even through ritzy Beverly Hills, the West Coast just wasn’t ready! Him and his Big Ripper definitely left a lasting impression on the city of Angels. Check it out to see how the West was won.

Isaac Lesser – Build It
On it’s own, ROM Skatepark might be a little bit dated, but if you mix in different ramps all over the place… You have one hell of a spot with endless opportunities. Watch as Isaac Lesser shows us how he gets down on his home turf with the help of a few power tools and wood. Excellent riding in this!
“Isaac Lesser has been riding ROM Skatepark for almost 15 years. Being the oldest skatepark in the UK, the classic, concrete haven boasts endless lines and haunting transitions.
However Isaac decided it was time to think outside the box, and with the addition of a few wooden extras, was able to open up gaps, lines and transfers that nobody would’ve thought possible.”

How Knurling On Bars Is Done
Have you ever wondered how knurling on the bars or really any other part on your bike that might utilize this technique to keep your shit from slipping? Well, Chris Moeller posted this quick video clip of them getting the process done on a set of S&M Bikes or Fit Bike Co. bars in their warehouse in California. If you’re a product nerd like us, this stuff is awesome to see.
“Totally knurly bro! One of the most difficult parts of making the best handlebars in BMX! So many little tricks in equipment, tools, cutting fluid and materials to get this seemingly simple diamond knurl right. We’ve been at it non-stop since 1999 and I think it shows.” – Chris Moeller
