How To Lace Up A BMX Wheel With A New Rim

October 24, 2017

Do you have a new BMX rim you need to get on your wheel, but you aren’t sure how to lace it up? Here’s a trick Brant Moore has that can show you how to get it done and save a little time.

Building up a new BMX wheel can be tricky and learning how to lace a BMX wheel is something that takes some practice and patience to learn and master. However, if you have an existing set of wheels that could use some new rims, but you don’t want to rebuild the entire wheel, then there is a trick that can make this a fairly easy process. Brant Moore put together this video showing you how to lace up an existing BMX wheel with a new rim without having to take it apart completely. Hit play to see the trick and just how to get it done. Obviously, this is something you should only do if you’re confident in your abilities. If not, it’s always a good idea to just take your wheels to a professional to get it done. Especially when it comes time to True A Wheel and you don’t know how to do that.

“How to take your old wheel and lace it to a new rim, WITHOUT knowing how to lace a wheel at all.
In this video I show you a way to lace a new rim to your old wheel in 20 minutes! That’s as fast as professional wheel builders.” – Brant Moore

Etnies – Jameson MTW

October 24, 2017

Is it time for a new pair of shoes? Take a look at the Jameson MTW from Etnies!

*Note: This post contains affiliate links and we could receive a commission if you were to buy these shoes. We would never recommend a product we aren’t completely stoked on. In fact, I have this exact pair of these shoes on right now!

If you live anywhere that gets snow or ice, you know that having the right shoes can make a big difference between being cold, wet feet and a slip or two landing you on your ass and being warm, dry and not feeling the pain. Although Etnies are based in sunny southern California, they still have love for those of us who aren’t so fortunate to get that year round sunshine. That is why they cooked up the Jameson MTW shoes to help make it a little more bearable.

The Jameson MTW is based off the classic and ever popular Jameson shoe, but it has a few features that make them better suited for some cold, wet ice and snow. The Jameson MTW starts out with a Suede upper that has an STI Repel waterproofing coat to help resist moisture, a gusseted tongue with wide tongue straps to help keep the inside dry and comfortable, and an insulated quick dry layer to help keep your feet warm. You can find the Foam Lite 1 insole to help keep your feet comfy and protected from impacts and cupsole outsole with these heavier duty reverse geo-hex lug tread on the bottom to give you that extra traction when things get slick.

The Jameson MTW is available in Black and Grey, Navy Brown and white, and Tan color options in sizes 7-12 with a price tag of $64.99 – $84.99 (Depending on color choice) through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Etnies worldwide or direct from the ETNIES WEBSTORE.

A little extra traction goes a long way in the snow and ice. This reverse geo-hex lug tread pattern does the trick. These also give plenty of grab on the pedals.

A gusseted tongue with extra wide straps to resist moisture and keep your feet snug and comfortable.

Available in this Navy, Brown and White combo.

Also available in Tan.

As we mentioned above, these shoes are through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Etnies worldwide or direct from the ETNIES WEBSTORE now!

Red Bull – Bruno Hoffmann “Devils Voice”

October 24, 2017

Take a look at this unique video Red Bull produced featuring Bruno Hoffmann and Anthony Perrin, just in time for Halloween.

If you’re a fan of BMX videos that have a little more film work involved than your raw cut, vloggy style video we see a lot of these days, you’re in luck. Here’s a video Red Bull produced featuring Bruno Hoffmann and Anthony Perrin that not only has some solid riding, but an interesting and creepy plot… Take a look!

“BMX rider Anthony Perrin is trapped in a parallel universe at the Teufelsberg in Berlin – a spooky communications interception station from the Cold War. His friend Bruno Hoffmann, called by mysterious voices, is heading there to save him by clearing various levels at Teufelsberg with his riding skills. But who is sending these voices? Anthony? The Devil?” – Red Bull
