Erik Bahula 2017 Video

November 7, 2017

Erik Bahula has a fresh one for your viewing pleasure!

It’s always rad coming across a video from a rider you have never heard of that is out there going to work on everything from ramps to street spots and trails. This video is filled with some real solid riding and clean film work. It’s not the craziest riding, but it’s a real enjoyable watch from start to finish. We wouldn’t complain to see more of these videos that has a little bit of everything in it.

November 6, 2017

Anyone that loves BMX will enjoy this look at what the 5050 BMX shop has going on…

It’s always rad to get a look at how different shops do things and just getting an idea of what their direction is. Ride BMX caught up with 5050 BMX‘s Eddie Buckley to learn a little bit about the shop and what it has grown into over the years. This place looks amazing and it’s safe to say it has done a lot for the BMX scene in the Utah area. Take a look!

“In many ways, 5050 BMX is the local shop we all wish we had. Of course they’re fully stocked with the latest product, but they’re also fully staffed with knowledgable riders and the owner, Eddie Buckley, is one of the most genuine, friendly people you’ll ever come across. 5050 has also managed to establish one of the best shop teams in the history of BMX, produce a NORA Cup winning video, service the greater Utah area with a dialed mail-order, and establish a show team that gets kids psyched on BMX on a grassroots level. We sat down with Eddie to discuss all things 5050…” – Ride BMX
