Par BMX – Janis Bauska Hidden Under Cover

April 27, 2018

Janis Bauska gets down at the DIY park in Riga, Latvia…

The crew at Par BMX over in Latvia just uploaded this fresh one featuring Janis Bauska getting some winter sessions at the DIY indoor park in Riga. This has a pretty chill vibe to it, but Janis puts his pegs to good use and cooks up some real solid lines. Take a look!

“Janis Bauska is the perfect example of a heavily underrated rider. He is often labeled as one to stick with bumps and jibs, but that is not all there is to his riding. The truth is Janis can go big, get tech and flow transition – he can do it all! Before spring and warm weather graced us here in the Baltics, he managed to shut down his favorite winter escape – a DIY skatepark in Riga. JIB BIG!

Many thanks to the Gtiim skatepark for the after hour sessions.

Monster Army – Jeremy Malott: Paving His Own Way To X Games

April 26, 2018

Jeremy Malott made his way to the park in Boise, Idaho to show everyone what he’s got!

We’re not sure how the park in Boise, Idaho ended up being the place where X Games qualifiers goes down, but it’s the spot. Jeremy Malott didn’t get his invite to the qualifier, so he hit up the park to throw down on his own. Here’s what he stacked for clips… We have a feeling this might actually help his case.

“Jeremy Malott has dreamed of riding in X Games his entire life. When the invite to the Boise Qualifier didn’t come, he decided to take his own trip up to the park to see what he could put down. Who knows, maybe X Games will like what they see and send him a wildcard invite? We sure like what he did. Decide for yourself here.” – Monster Army

S&M – Kareem’s Plan: Give It All Away

April 26, 2018

Kareem Williams gave away his bike to avoid paying baggage fees for a flight back to Texas…

As some of you might know, it can be EXPENSIVE to travel with your bike… Unless you travel with a bike bag. It turns out Kareem Williams didn’t get the memo on the bike bags and decided to just give away his whole S&M Bikes setup so he didn’t have to fly with it. Here’s a video where he gives it away. If you can’t afford the baggage fees and you can’t afford to just give your bike away, then you should pick up a bike bag. You will be glad you did.

“Kareem decided to give away his bike at the BMXFU 420 jam to some deserving young bikers.

BTM Frame: $355
Pitchfork: $130
Wheels: $300
Fit Indent Cranks: $170
Hoder Bars: $70
S&M Seat/Post: $65

Not having to pay more for baggage fees than the price of the plane ticket home because Kareem can’t figure out how to fly with his bike: PRICELESS.” – S&M Bikes

Odyssey BMX – Summit Stem

April 26, 2018

Looking to really raise your bars up? Check out the new Summit Stem from Odyssey!

The crew at Odyssey have just released their new Summit stem that’s bound to get some talk going since it pushes things up a notch or two higher than other BMX stems available. The Summit stem is made from CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminum with a 48mm reach and a whopping 45mm of rise (other top load stems have a range of 27mm – 35mm rise usually) with a new proprietary clamping surface, 6 chromoly bolts to hold it tight, beveled edges, a recessed top for a flush fork cap and additional machining in low stress points for additional weight savings.

The Odyssey Summit stem comes in Black only, weighs in at 10.4 oz. and can be picked up through BMX shops and mail-orders, or direct from the Odyssey webstore for $64.99 now.

Recessed top for a flush compression cap and an engraved ODSY SMMT logo.

With a 45mm rise, this stem has a different look than other topload BMX stems.

ODSY SMMT.

Here’s a few words direct from Odyssey about their newest stem…

“The Odyssey Summit stem is now the tallest stem offered.

Coming in with a 45mm rise, it is far above the rest. Using a proprietary clamping surface specification and clamping bolts with a larger surface area under the head, your bars will be sure to stay in place.” – Odyssey

Alright, you know the details, you have seen the photos… What do you think? We have a feeling this is one of those designs that will get a very wide ranging opinion from love it to hate it, so we want to hear from you. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below!

St. Louis BMX Jam Held At Gun Point

April 26, 2018

Welp… It looks like that guy wasn’t too stoked on BMX.

The Capital Crew threw their annual street jam in St. Louis that drew in a bunch of riders for a full day of riding street spots, good times and a crazy old guy waving his gun at them. We’re not sure what made the guy so mad, and we could imagine whatever the situation was could have been handled better by both sides, but he definitely wasn’t doing himself or anyone any favors handling a gun the way he was. Either way, here’s a full recap of what went down on and off the bikes throughout the day. It looks like it was a success overall.

“Saturday, April 7th we hosted the second annual Capital-Lou-Jam in Downtown St. Louis, MO.
100+ bike riders traveled to St. Louis from all across the continent to partake in the annual ride & contests.
We rode bikes, got threatened by a crazy guy with a gun, raffled off a Custom BMX Bike, & so much more!” – Capital Crew
