March 28, 2018

The entire “The Western Front” video from 2004 is now online…

Over the past few days we’ve seen a bit of a resurgence of videos popping up online from around 2003 / 2004. Today, we get a look at a DVD that came out of Canada called “The Western Front”. We don’t believe we have seen or heard of this one before, but we are real stoked to see it online now. This video is jam packed with park, street, trails and flatland riding that will undoubtedly take you back to the golden Mid School era that was so good! Shout out to the Bad 4 Life crew for uploading this one!

Drifter Snow Bikes – Powder Highway Road Trip 2018

March 28, 2018

The Drifter Snow Bikes loaded up for a trip to a few different resorts over the course of a little over a week!

Although temperatures have finally started to rise and snow is probably the last thing some of you want to think about, the Drifter Snow Bikes crew have a new one from their Powder Highway Road Trip they took this winter up in Canada. Over the course of 8 days, these guys hit up a bunch of resorts and put their snow bikes to good use on the trails and the terrain parks. This video is loaded with GoPro footage from the riding they got into throughout the trip! Looks like it was an awesome time to us! Check it!

“This year the Drifter crew were on a Seek and Destroy mission. Driving over 3000 kms covering most of the Powder Highway and hitting 6 epic mountain resorts in only 8 days. The Powder Highway is a legendary route through the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia known for its record snowfall and world renowned ski resorts, the crew did there best to Slay as much as possible!” – Drifter Snow Bikes

How To Adjust BMX Brakes

March 27, 2018

Need to learn how to adjust BMX brakes? Here’s a video for you showing you just how to do it!

When it comes to working on a BMX bike, the most common complaint is dialing in brakes, and keeping them working well. If you ask a lot of brakeless riders why they don’t use brakes, there’s a good chance working on brakes is the reason they chose to ditch them. Although a lot of riders go straight for brakeless these days, there’s still a good number of riders that still run brakes. Anyone who has run brakes, they know brakes can be a little tricky to dial in so they work perfect, but there’s nothing better once they are done. If you want to learn how to adjust BMX brakes so they work perfect, this video from Brant Moore will definitely help. This video discusses the different parts, how to properly assemble the brakes, how to tension BMX brakes so they are even and don’t rub, along with a few tricks that he has to ensure they work amazing. Hit play, take it all in and then try it out yourself. It’s going to take a little practice, but once you have it figured out, your brakes will work great and you will be able to do tricks like fufanus and abubacas, which is always rad!

“In this video I show how to adjust BMX brakes and explain the various reasons as to why BMX brakes might need adjusted.

I cover everything from straddle cable setups such as a straight cable or single to double lower gyro cable, all the way to dual lower gyro cables which require a different approach.

The tools that appear in this video are Park Tool tools, the best bicycle tools in bicycle history!” – Brant Moore
