Kink BMX In Argentina

January 8, 2018

The Kink team made their way to Argentina to explore the endless street spots!

When the Kink BMX team loads up for a trip, you know you’re going to see some amazing riding. They recently linked up with their distributor in Argentina, Mobikeco, to explore spots from Buenos Aires to Rosario, stacking clips all along the way. Check out what the crew got into during their stay, plus a look at their newest connect down there!

“Follow the squad in Argentina through Buenos Aires and Rosario, stacking clips, and taking in the good vibes of the great country! Sean Sexton, Travis Hughes, Casey Starling, and introducing Agustin Gutierrez.

Filmed and edited by Darryl Tocco.

Huge thanks to Mo Bike Co. and all the locals we met for all the help and support during the trip and for Kink in Argentina.” – Kink BMX

Nik Ford – Situations

January 8, 2018

Nik Ford sent over his latest video for your viewing pleasure.

Here’s a fresh one that popped in the inbox today from Nik Ford for you guys to check out! As always, Nik gets creative on everything he touches from street spots to skateparks, keeping things pretty unpredictable from start to finish. Check out what he cooked up since this is a solid watch!

“Who would have thought 15 years ago whilst in a coma from a bmx crash that I would have ticked so many things off my wish list! I have been sponsored by some rad companies, travelled the world, been featured in books and magazines and meet some amazing people along the way. 2017 was a good year with a return trip to Australia and competing in the iBMXFF world championships. It’s never been about results but the situations, making memories and ticking things off that wish list.

I am proud of the last 15 years and optimistic for the future with my rad little family. I feel the song is particularly relevant and if I had the chance to did all again, well it’s something I would like to do.

The crew at FBM put together this rad section for the video from some of the fun they had at the Lost Bowl this past summer.

January 8, 2018

Paddy Gross coming through with a dialed new video filled with brakes and pegs!

Here’s a really rad one that surfaced online featuring Paddy Gross putting his brakes and pegs to good use from Portland to Germany and a few other places. This also features front brake magic from Adam Banton, Axel Reichertz, Brett Banasiewicz, Clint Millar, Rob Nolli, Dave Freimuth, Chad DeGroot, Nick Harkins, Chris Rye, Tobias Wicke and Rick Moliterno. If that doesn’t sound amazing, then you’re blowing it! This BMX video is packed with amazing ramp riding and a little flatland from start to finish!

“I agreed to this project when it was still a baby. Now a year later it has grown into quite a monster of a video. We have had the honor of collecting original clips from many highly influential and legendary riders from the mid school. Which has made this video such a joy to create. Its like stepping into a time machine and traveling back to the glory days of bmx. Again thank you everyone who had contributed this project. it has been a blast. Enjoy!” – Matt Miller

Little Devil Brand Is Back… Again

January 7, 2018

It looks like Derek Adams is bringing back Little Devil once again!

DON’T CALL IT A COMEBACK. Littledevilbrand.com is live! #evilneverdies
A post shared by LITTLE DEVIL (@littledevilbrand) on Jan 6, 2018 at 6:30pm PST

Que the cheers from the midschool riders from around the world! Over the years, the rollercoaster of Little Devil coming alive and then disappearing once or twice since it initially shut down has taken its toll on the emotions of all the fans of the devil horns around the world. The brand, known for its iconic logo, unique t-shirt designs and probably one of the most beloved BMX specific backpacks ever, has been on a hiatus for a while after a brief re-boot around 2015. That’s why we were surprised when we just saw the above Instagram post with a link to the new Little Devil website / webstore that has a few t-shirts and some new head tube badges (man, we love those damn things!) now available for you to get your hands on. We aren’t seeing the legendary backpack, but maybe that’ll come in the future if things get rolling once again! Either way, it’s awesome to see the brand making a comeback. Go check out their new website!
