BMX has seen some serious progression in 2017 and there’s been no shortage of crazy tricks….
It’s pretty hard to think about EVERY BMX video that has come out in the past year considering there’s been a couple thousand that we have posted here on The Union (seriously, it’s around 10 a day on average). Our memory isn’t so good anymore, but fortunately the crew at Ride BMX decide to take a stab at nailing down 10 of the most progressive tricks and compile them into an edit for you to enjoy. We have a feeling people out there will call out a bunch of tricks that slipped their minds, but overall this is a really dialed list. Take a peek!
“2017 saw a lot of progressive bike riding and it seems like now more than ever, the notion of what is possible on a BMX is getting pushed further and further. Both the technical and gnarly aspects of tricks are getting completely ridiculous and this year saw a ton of innovation. Here is our list (in no particular order) of what we found to be the most progressive tricks done in the past year (2017).
