Odyssey – Mexican Blanket Seat

March 20, 2019

Here’s one we’re sure a few of you will be stoked on! After 10 years, Odyssey have brought back their Mexican Blanket style seat! This time around they’ve done a Fat Capital Pivotal seat with the fabric color that looks awesome. No two seats are identical and they don’t really offer a certain color because of that! These seats are available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Odyssey worldwide now for $34.99! Check out a few examples of the seat below!

Each seat comes with the small Odyssey tag sewn on the back!

What do you think of the new Mexican Blanket seats from Odyssey? Do you have any questions? Let us know what is on your mind in the comments below!

A Nearly Vacation

March 20, 2019

Alex Donnachie had a bunch of footage from some time in Barcelona, Spain this past winter. Instead of sitting on it for the new Nearly video, he decided to put together this mix featuring Anthony Perrin, Joris Coulomb, Alex Kennedy and Austin Augie going to work on spots. Hit play and take it all in. You already know these guys delivered.

“Post Simple Session this year saw a massive fleet of riders head to Barcelona to catch some rays, spots, coupla’ loose nights and warm up for the upcoming busy period in their schedules. Alex Donnachie originally had this footage allotted for the Nearly 5 DVD but instead he decided to link it into this mix video. Needless to say with the likes of Joris Coulomb, AK, Anthony Perrin, Austin Augie and more, things heat up real fast. This is a must-see today. ”

Dirt Bros. – Sean Yarroll “Cheese” Section (1994)

March 20, 2019

It’s time for the final section from the Dirt Bros. “Cheese” video from 1994! This time around we get a look at Sean Yarroll‘s section that is packed with so many rad clips from trails, street, park and lake jumping sessions. Sean had a deep back of tricks that he put to good use for this. If you’re a mid / old school rider, you’re going to love every second of this one! Take a look!

“Sean Yarroll holds down the last rider section in Dirt Bros Cheese for a very good reason – Heavy music, heavier riding, and RAD style that could only be from the 90s. It’s no surprise that I’ve had a dozen people ask me about when we were going to finally post Yarroll’s section. Check out the video, and then click – http://www.snakebitebmx.com to see a few more photos of Sean that we wanted to share.

Hobie Doan OFF S&M Bikes

March 20, 2019

Here’s a bit of news we definitely did NOT see coming. It looks like things didn’t work out for Hobie Doan and S&M Bikes since Hobie is no longer riding for them anymore. No word on what happened, in fact neither side have made a public announcement about it, but his time on the Pro team was pretty short lived since his welcome video dropped back in August. We aren’t sure if Hobie has anything lined up, but obviously riding for the Primo Pro team leads us to believe that Stranger is a likely route since there’s been a bunch of moves happening on those teams lately. We’ll keep you posted once we know more. Until then, I guess let’s re-enjoy Hobie’s welcome video since that kicked a ton of ass.

Essential Tools For BMX

March 19, 2019

When it comes to working on a BMX bike, things couldn’t be more simplistic. Over the years, the amount of tools needed to work on a bike has reduced down to a few essentials to get the job done. You can literally build up most BMX bikes with a 6mm allen key and a 17mm socket. Although that’s two tools the majority of your bike uses, there are still a handful of tools that are necessary, but something you don’t use as often like a crescent wrench or a pedal wrench. If you want something more, check out our BMX TOOL GUIDE or the BMX MULTI TOOL GUIDE if you are on the hunt for a multi-tool that does it all.

“As a beginner riding BMX working on your bike can be a bit intimidating at first. In this video I’m here to go over how simple the tools needed for working on our bikes can really be as well as let you know which ones are absolutely essential.

Yes I forgot to mention a pump and yes I forgot to mention crank pullers, both of which are very essential!” – Brant Moore

Scotty Cranmer Injury Update – 29 Months

March 19, 2019

It’s crazy to think it has been 29 months since Scotty Cranmer‘s accident that turned his whole world upside down. In that time, Scotty has made some amazing progress from being in a wheelchair to being able to ride his bike and more. Scotty decided it was time to try and see if he could swim, so this is a look at him giving that a shot. It’s another step forward, and the progress keeps happening! Hell yeah, Scotty!

“It has been 29 months since my life changing accident and I decided to do another update video to show everyone the progress I have been making. I take you all on a bike ride and I talk about my move to Florida for the winter and I also attempt to go swimming for the first time since my accident and it turns out that I currently can’t swim! I am going to keep practicing and I am setting a goal to learn how to swim and I will check back in soon with a new progress video! Thank you all for the continued support!” – Scotty Cranmer
