The story of John Buultjens turned movie is now here…

If you keep up with the BMX news, you probably saw a while back that there was a full-length feature film being made that’s based off the life story of Haro‘s Brand Manager John Buultjens. The movie will be dropping soon, with some premieres already kicking off. Here’s a look at the trailer that gives you an idea of what’s to come. This trailer doesn’t give away a ton since John’s story is super deep and it’s a long road from when he was a kid on up to where he is today. Either way, we’re excited to see this one since it looks real solid.

Scotty Cranmer – Extreme Fakie Challenge

April 6, 2018

Scotty Cranmer decided it was time for the guys to take on another Fakie Challenge!

It’s been a little while since Scotty Cranmer has had the guys do a Fakie Challenge. Today he put Matty Cranmer, Big Boy, Cory Berglar, Vinny Mannino and the one and only Trey Jones to the test to see who can go the distance when it’s cold and windy out!

“We decided to have another BMX fakie challenge to test the riders ability at riding their bikes backwards! This challenge starts behind my bike shop and the goal is to see what BMX rider can make it the furthest around the shop without going forwards or putting a foot down! After each rider attempting on both the free coaster wheel and the cassette we decided to take challenge over to a grass hill and see which rider would make it the furthest down and that’s when things got crazy! After it was finished one rider became the fakie challenge champion!” – Scotty Cranmer
