BMX Interviews

Inside Justin Schwanke’s Backyard BMX Paradise

January 14, 2015

When you watch as many videos as we do, you eventually start to take notice of some pretty unique spots and setups that keep popping up in videos. Over time, we have seen a handful of videos from Justin Schwanke that has featured his crazy backyard ramp setup out in Alberta, Canada that has been pieced together over the years from skateparks that closed down, events that no longer happen and whatever wood him and his friends could come across. We were curious what the story was behind the setup and figured it would be cool to get in touch with Justin to talk a little bit about his backyard BMX paradise that he calls home! We even have a brand new video giving us a little tour to go with this that you can check out above! After you watch that, check out the interview after the jump!

Moritz Nussbaumer Interview

January 12, 2015

One of the best parts about running this site is the opportunity to watch riders progress, develop and make things happen for themselves. Every now and then there are riders that will really stand out. By now, there’s a good chance you guys have taken notice of Wethepeople’s AM, Moritz Nussbaumer, who back in 2012 was added to their line up and has been making waves ever since. After a huge 2014 for “Mo”, there was no way we couldn’t get ahold of Moritz to ask him a bunch of questions to get to know him a little better! We would suggest you take notice because it sounds like 2015 is going to be absolute fire for this guy.

Mark Losey on BMXComps.com

January 7, 2015

The other day Mark Losey announced a new project that he has been working on called BMX Comps, which takes a closer look at professional riders rankings based on the contests they attend and how well they do. In a sport like BMX that doesn’t really have set “rules” and a lot of perspective that is based off the opinion of ones views on a riders style or bag of tricks they can unleash on a course, along with so many different styles of contests and how they are judged, it can be hard to see just where a rider stands. Mark sat down and took a look at all these different events happening around the world and found some common ground that allowed him to calculate 100+ of the top contest riders from around the world score to see just where they ranked. We were really curious about this system, so we caught up with him to talk a little bit about how he did it and just what BMX Comps is all about! Let’s see what he had to say!

There is definitely no shortage of talent in BMX these days. With new names popping up all the time, it can be hard to keep track of everybody. However, one name we have been taking a lot of notice of over the past two years or so is Justin Care. This Pennsylvania native has been producing some heavy footage for quite a while now and it’s no surprise that he has found himself with support from Colony and Merritt because of it! Last week, Justin’s latest video dropped and it was an absolute banger. We decided it was time to get ahold of this guy and find out just what his story is! Let’s see what he had to say!

Jeff has been on it for quite a few years now and it seems like things have really taken off for him these past few months especially! A few months back, Jeff joined the Mutiny Bikes team and since then he’s been on the move crushing spots! It was announced a few weeks back that Jeff would be getting a signature frame and bars from Mutiny that’s due out next spring and between all the trips and videos, we figured it would be a good time to catch up to see what he has going on these days! Check out what he had to say!

October 30, 2014

Although it’s been tough to really sell DVD’s these days with the internet becoming the go-to outlet to reach the most people versus really appreciating the quality and hard work that goes into a video, there are still brands and riders out there that are putting in the hard work to make a DVD happen. The crew over at The Daily Grind are pretty known for their quality over quantity ideals and because of that we always know we can trust that what they’re producing is going to be proper.
We caught wind that the crew have been busy stacking clips for the brands 2nd full-length DVD and after seeing some “scraps” from a few edits that popped up, we were really curious what the story was behind it. We decided to get ahold of Jon “Gremlin” Bechtold and Ryan Howard to talk about what the story is with the new DVD and what we can expect from it! Let’s check out what they had to say along with a bunch of rad behind the scenes photos!

Over the past two years or so, we have been becoming increasingly familiar with a new brand from Arizona called Freed Bikes. For those of you that don’t know, Freed is a brand that focuses on U.S made products like frames, bars and sprockets, which in an industry like BMX has been increasingly difficult to make happen. One of the questions we hear pretty frequently is “who owns Freed?”, so we figured it was due time to get to know the guy who is in charge of the reigns of this brand who, thanks to a little help from his family, currently runs the company while going to college full-time… Let’s find out a little bit more about just what Andy is all about!
