How To Use A Crank Arm Puller

February 13, 2018

It’s Tuesday, so it’s time for Brant Moore to drop a new tech tip. This time around he shows you how to use a crank arm puller on BMX cranks!

If you have rode BMX for a while, there’s a very good chance you have had to take your cranks off at some point, or install a pair of cranks on a new frame. While, installing a pair of cranks isn’t exactly rocket appliances (Trailer Park Boys, anyone?), it can be a little tricky and using the right tools for the job make life a lot easier. If you have ever had a pair of 3-piece cranks, there’s a good chance you have either used, or have seen a Crank Arm Puller. Now, the tool isn’t completely necessary, but it exists because it does make things a hell of a lot easier when it comes to installing or removing BMX cranks. One reason many people don’t use them is because they don’t know how it works. Brant Moore put together this detailed video showing you just how to use a crank arm puller to remove or install a set of BMX cranks. Hit play, take it all in and then remember to use the right tools for the job!

“A crank puller is a tool that can make putting on and taking off bmx/bicycle 3 piece cranks a quick and easy task. Especially compared to the alternative of using other tools, aka the wrong tools for the job.

In this video I demonstrate how to use a crank puller to install and remove bmx 3 piece cranks.” – Brant Moore

To celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the “Electronical” DVD, Odyssey have given it a re-up for your viewing pleasure! Like they say, time flies when you’re having fun! Odyssey released their “Electronical” DVD 10 years ago today and even after all these years it’s a complete banger! Hit play to check out this video featuring Jim Cielencki, Jimmy Levan, Matt Beringer, Aaron Ross, Taj Mihelich, Chase Hawk, KC Badger, Adam Banton, Danny Hickerson, Mike Aitken, Gary Young and many more (Talk about a completely legendary line up of riders) going to work on street spots, skateparks, trails and more! One fun fact about this video that always blows our minds is that this was the first full 1080P DVD that came out. Watching it for the first time made everyone’s minds melt since it was some of the highest quality BMX footage many had seen. Even though this version isn’t as high definition as the original DVD, it’s amazing.. Will Stroud did an amazing job on the filming and editing for this one!

Today marks the 10 year anniversary of the Electronical video premiere. Time flies! We have re-upped the video in case you have never seen it.

Erik Elstran – BMX Creativity At Its Finest

February 13, 2018

When you see Erik Elstran’s name pop up, you know you’re in for a treat…

If there’s one guy who never fails to blow our minds every time we see him ride, it’s Erik Elstran! Every time he gets on his bike, he’s getting real creative and having a ton of fun doing it. Here’s a short but sweet video that’s proof that he is always doing some amazing things, since he cooked up all of these tricks in a single session! So rad.

“When it comes to Erik Elstran’s riding, the only thing you can expect is the unexpected—and that it’ll be awesome. While on a recent trip to SoCal with the Madera team, Erik fired out five totally unorthodox clips at a very ordinary skate plaza.

“Cory, Matty, and big boy head to Sayreville skate park. If you guys are new to the channel we have been here before and done a 20 trick challenge around the skate park because the actual park was closed when we went last. Today the boys have went back to do another 20 trick challenge but this time they did it inside of the skate park. It was really cold the big boy fell down super hard but he got back up all in the name of hot chocolate!” – Scotty Cranmer
