V-Club – Garrett Reeves “For The Sake of the Video” Section

March 10, 2019

The other day Ryan Howard tried to upload the V-Club “For The Sake of the Video” DVD online, but it ended up being blocked due to copyright issues. So, instead of uploading the full video, he has uploaded Garrett Reeves section for you to enjoy. Garrett’s section was PACKED with wallrides, heavy gaps and drops, big 360’s, barspins, whips, some pedal grind action and more. Hell, he even did a wallride into a moving car which is crazy, too. This section is super good, so hit play and enjoy! It’s crazy to think this part came out in 2010 and it’s almost 10 years old!

Hopefully Ryan keeps uploading sections from this since the whole video kicked a lot of ass and we’re sure a bunch of you haven’t seen it yet.

BMX News – 3/8/19

March 8, 2019

It’s that time of the week for Brant Moore to dig through the week and talk about the best BMX videos, the biggest news and the latest products and put it all in one place so you can stay in the loop! This week is a busy one, plus he announces a little partnership we have going to help get some things going for the future!

“As much as I didn’t want to put Jesco’s name in the title or his photo in the thumbnail, he was so much of an icon in BMX that nothing else this week felt as important. When you think about it, there really hasn’t been an animal as well known throughout all of BMX and he really was package deal with Trey.
So here’s to you Jesco, and I hope that Marty Jones can help continue to bring joy in a similar way.

RideBMX is on hold because of WHAT?!

On another note, a literal BMX Union has begun! Submit your videos the BMX Union and let’s help create something awesome together!!
