Dennis Enarson “CAPSLOCK” Premiere Jam Flyer

July 5, 2018

Dennis Enarson’s new “CAPSLOCK” video drops at the end of the month and there’s going to be a premiere party in San Diego!

If there’s one thing we know, it’s that Dennis Enarson always produces when he puts in time on a video part. It looks like his long awaited “CAPSLOCK” video is almost ready and will be premiering at the Clairemont park down in San Diego on July 28th! The combination between knowing it’s a Dennis Enarson video and that there is a premiere party planned around it can only mean it’s an absolute banger. We would imagine it’ll make its way online shortly after this premiere, so get stoked if you can’t make the trip!

“Dennis has been working on his new CAPSLOCK video for a couple years now and it’s finally getting wrapped up the end of this month. Dennis has been saying it’s his craziest yet and usually when he says that, we get very f-n excited to say the least. We’re holding down a jam and the video premiere at Dennis’ home park at Claremont skatepark July 28th and starts at 5p. More info is on the flyer. See you guys there!” – Demolition Parts

Montana Ricky – Bike Life

July 5, 2018

Montana Ricky has a new video with a big surprise for you to check out…

It looks like Montana Ricky got hooked up with a few big bikes from SE Bikes and has been putting the bikes to good use in the Merritt warehouse and out on some street spots and trails. The wheels might be bigger, but it’s safe to say that hasn’t keep Ricky from getting creative.

“I have been riding around and trying out the big wheel life. I know I normally ride bmx but hey sometimes change is good. It feels completely different and somewhat foreign but I wanted to try to spice things up on the “wheelie boy” world and show them that you can do more then just wheelies on these bikes. Huge thank you to @rideoutsupply and @sebikes for helping out with bikes and gear. I hope you all enjoy this video.” – Montana Ricky

Chris O’Neil Video

July 5, 2018

Get a look at this fresh video featuring Chris O’Neil going to work on spots in Ireland…

It has been a little while since we’ve seen Chris O’Neil‘s name pop up, but it’s clear he’s been busy putting in work on his bike. Here’s a fresh one DIG released featuring Chris putting his pegs to heavy use on every rail he came across, along with a bunch o other great spots.

“The latest in our DIG LOCALS video series comes from our original home country of Ireland and features Chris O’Neill – yet another up and coming shredder who is flying well below the radar outside of his own scene. Here’s what the filmer Michael Haran, and long longtime Irish scene kingpin (and the man behind Ireland’s main BMX store The Boardroom) Derek Johnson, had to say about him.” – DIG

“It’s been awesome having Chris added to our shop team and we always knew he had some special talent since his riding stood out amongst the rest. He’s the nicest kid and very humble with a pro-active outlook to what is possible, His riding alone is pretty much miraculous since he lives in the middle of Ireland, nowhere near any majors scenes that have existed. Check this out with the knowledge that he’s pushed himself so hard for the last year along with Michael working hard behind the camera.” – Derek Johnson

“Chris O’Neill has been added to The Boardroom Team since the end of 2016 and from seeing what he could do via his instagram feed, and at local jams etc, I knew that he would definitely be able to film a seriously wild part. Shortly after this I hit him up and he was down to put in some work. He’s a very laid back guy that can come across as quite shy but that’s put behind him when he gets on a bike. He has spent countless hours going back and forth with me trying to nail some of the hugely technical lines along with the wild clips he’s managed to pull off. He has gone beyond what I thought was possible and I’m so stoked to finally show everyone what we have been working on over the last 12 months.” – Michael Haran

Art Thomason – 43 Part 3: Front Wheel

July 5, 2018

Art Thomason is back with a fresh video for you to check out!

There aren’t a lot of 43 year olds putting out BMX videos, let alone 3 in a single year. Here’s the latest from Art Thomason who has been busy getting flatland sessions in his backyard down in Floria. For the 3rd part of his 43 series, he cooked up a bunch of front wheel combos that he makes look real easy! Take a look!

“As I started collecting clips for my 3rd edit as a 43 year-old, I decided to divide the clips into a front wheel edit and a back wheel edit to keep them at a reasonable length. This front wheel edit is centered around a few new switches that allow me to put together some new long links. Enjoy.” – Art Thomason

Hub Talk: Far East Cycles Freecoaster Hub How To

July 5, 2018

Get a detailed look at how the Far East Cycles Freecoaster hub comes apart and all the parts that make it work…

Here’s a video Jean William Prevost sent through giving us a detailed look at how the Far East Cycles Freecoaster hub comes apart and all of the parts that make it work, followed by how it’s put back together. This hub uses a unique driver system that is more like a cassette hub than a freecoaster since it doesn’t use a clutch like most of the other freecoaster options out there. This hub was designed for flatland, but we would imagine this could hold up to some street action, too. Hit play and take a closer look. You can pick this hub up for $169.99 – $319.99 depending on if you go with the titanium axle and driver or chromoly. You can see the options available over on Flatland Fuel!

“FEC hub inventor Ashao gets together with Jean William Prévost to take the hub apart and put it back together as they give some tips on how to use it and assemble/disassemble it correctly.” – Jean William Prevost
