Jordan Grandinetti For GT BMX

February 2, 2018

Jordan Grandinetti is back and crushing it for GT BMX!

After some downtime while joining the knee club, Jordan Grandinetti is back to crushing it on his bike for GT Bicycles! Here’s his first full edit back filled with rail and ledge destruction on a ton of different spots. Although he had some time off, it doesn’t look like he lost his touch one bit.

“After a brief hiatus due to knee surgery, Jordan Grandinetti has been steadily stacking footage. With a few solid clips in the GT Bikes full-length, Seriously Fun movie, Jordy G is back to his old form and has blessed us with a part full of bangers. It looks like “The 17 Year Old Handrail Machine” is still slaying at 19.

Simple Session 2018 – First Practice Highlights

February 2, 2018

Let the floodgates of Simple Session 2018 footage commence…

It’s that time of the year again when a bunch of riders commence on Tallinn, Estonia for the annual Simple Session contest! As expected, there are plenty of cameras on the course, so all the action will be highly documented! Here’s a look at not one, not two, but THREE highlight videos from the first day of practice for your viewing pleasure. As expected, plenty of real solid riding going down, a bunch of slams and plenty of laughs. Oh, and a little bit of hockey for good measure…

“Sorry ya’ll, my flight got all messed up so I 2missed the first three group practices. I did my best to get what I could (shout out to Alex Hiam for destroying) and then headed to the second annual BMX vs Skate Hockey match. Day two is about to pop off, so I’m gonna make this short…more to come!” – Ryan Fudger / Ride BMX

“Simple Session 2018 is here! It’s snowing outside, but there’s plenty of heat inside the legendary Saku Suurhall. Check out the course, watch the riders get familiar, and hear from Broc Raiford, Ryan Nyquist, Van Homan, Alex Hiam, Gary Young, Justin Dowell, and more!” – Vital BMX

Etnies – Early 2018 Aaron Ross Scout XT Colorway

February 1, 2018

Let’s take a closer look at the newest Aaron Ross colorway for the Etnies Scout XT!

The other day we got a look at the latest Chase Hawk, Aaron Ross and Nathan Williams Jameson and Marana shoes, now let’s get a look at Aaron’s latest Scout XT colorway…

Anyone who has tried on a pair of Etnies Scout or Scout XT shoes know that they’re an awesome pair of shoes for when you aren’t riding. They’re lightweight, breathable and super comfortable, which are all good things, especially when you’re used to wearing regular riding shoes with the flat, harder rubber sole.

The Scout XT starts out with an upper made from mesh and suede with re-enforced heel and quarter panels for increased support and stability an the hot melt detail on the lateral and medial sides. Inside, you can find the Memory Foam insole and an exposed STI Evolution Foam Midsole and wide lycra spandex tongue straps for a snug slip-on fit and comfort. The bottom features the exposed STI Evolution Foam Outsole, continuing the comfort trend that makes these shoes so comfortable.

The Scout XT is currently available in 9 colors, but this Dark Navy is Aaron Ross‘ latest color for the shoe that he chooses to wear when he isn’t riding. The Scout XT is available in sizes 6 – 13 and can be picked up at Etnies dealers worldwide or on the Etnies Website for $69.99 now. If you aren’t feeling the color, or just curious what the 8 other colors are, you can check out more Etnies Scout XT colors here!

More of a visual learner? Here’s a video explaining the Scout XT…

We Are Ride On

February 1, 2018

Whoever said “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” clearly didn’t ride BMX…

Now this kicks a ton of ass! Neil Waddington uploaded this new one called “We Are Ride On” that features a TON of the older guys out crushing it on their bikes, getting down on street spots, skateparks and trails. This video features riders as young as 35 and there’s even a 60 and a couple 50’s in there! This shows that despite a little age, some wear an tear on the bones and joints, that you can enjoy riding BMX far longer than when you’re “just a kid”. If you feel like you’re getting “too old” to ride BMX… Think again! Shout out to every single rider in this!

Get a look at the 2018 Simple Session course getting put together!

It’s pretty wild to think about how much work goes into building up the Simple Session course every year. The fact that they get this whole thing built up just in time for the event every year is pretty crazy to think about. As expected, they’ve produced another crazy course for the contest going down this weekend in Tallinn. Hit play to watch a timelapse to see this thing get built up piece by piece in this timelapse.
