September 8, 2017

The Battle of Hastings is going down this morning at Source BMX in Hastings, England this weekend! The pros are starting to roll in and get some warm up riding time in and things are already getting rolling. Here’s a video Ride BMX whipped up from a bit of practice so far! Things are going to get nuts this weekend!

“Here’s an extended-cut look at all of the action that went down yesterday during the first day of practice here at the Battle Of Hastings. Highlights from Garrett Reynolds, Chase Hawk, Corey Walsh, Broc Raiford, Larry Edgar, Matt Cordova, Trey Jones, Justin Spriet, Dennis Enarson, Joris Coulomb, and many many more killing it at the world’s largest underground skater.. Source BMX. Plus the hilarious duck plucking ceremony that determined the running order for the street plaza video segment of the contest. Shouts to Larry’s Edgar’s team of having to start bright and early with a 10AM jet-lagged session.. Stay tunes to the site for all of the coverage from Battle Of Hastings!!” – Ride BMX

Wesley Thongtrakul In Maui

September 8, 2017

We don’t see a ton of BMX videos out of the islands of Hawaii, but it’s always rad when we do get one to check out. Here’s one featuring Wesley Thongtrakul going to work on the skatepark and street spots around Maui! Wesley has a solid bag of tricks from grind combos to big blasted airs, barspin combos and more that he puts to good use on everything he comes across.

“This was not an easy video to get together. Between all our work schedules and trying to collaborate free time proved challenging however we were able to pull it together and this is the outcome. We hope you enjoy!!!”

Profile Racing – Tech Tip: Z-Coaster Support Bearing

September 8, 2017

This weeks tech tip from Profile Racing has arrived. This time around we get a short but sweet video from Matt Coplon where he explains why the Support Bearing on their Z-Coaster hub spins freely in the hub shell! Pretty interesting. Take a peek!

“While on the Maiden America Shop tour in 2017, a question was brought to our attention on the ZCoaster outer support bearing.

Why does that bearing spin inside the ZCoaster shell?
Is it supposed to do that?
And is that bad?

To answer your question, it’s part of the design and completely normal.
Here’s a quick tutorial. Let us know if this helps?”
