Kink BMX – Saturday Selects: Jake Petruchik Raw Cuts

September 30, 2017

It’s that time of the week again! Kink sent through this weeks Saturday Selects video that features a bunch of raw footage featuring Jake Petruchik getting down on the streets of Austin, Texas and a few other spots around the state. Jake it the kind of guy that crushes everything he comes across from big burly rails and ledges to ditches and more. He even gets a few laughs in when things don’t go his way. Hit play and take it all in!

“Jake and I spent a few months working on this together a few years back in Austin and the surrounding areas. Jake has been one of my favorite riders for a long time, he has a really good eye and an almost too casual demeanor on his bike. Some of these clips are insane, but it’s almost hard to tell.” – Darryl Tocco

Standard Byke Company at Woodward East 2017

September 30, 2017

You know when the Standard Bykes team rolls through a place like Woodward East, there’s going to be some heavy sessions going down. Here’s a dialed video Jerrod Glasgow put together from a trip that the crew took last month. Needless to say, there wasn’t much for nibbler jibbler ledge grinds that went down in this one. There is ton of front brake magic, big blasted airs, technical lip tricks galore and more fufanus than you have seen the last 6 months packed into this one and that kicks ass. We highly, HIGHLY suggest you give this one a watch. You won’t be disappointed.

“A solid crew of our team riders spent a week at Woodward in August of 2017. Here’s some of the wild shit that went down that week!

BMX Life Hacks – How To Pack a Bike Bag For Cheap

September 30, 2017

Anyone who has traveled with a BMX bike knows it can be a little tricky when it comes to flying. Getting your bike on the plane without having to pay insane fees is a little bit tricky, but there are a few tricks that can literally save you hundreds of dollars, even if you only fly once. When it comes to traveling with a BMX bike, Brad Simms has undoubtedly logged more miles than most BMX riders and has been to more countries on this planet than most people will in an entire lifetime. With that travel, Brad has mastered the art of packing his bike in a Golf Bag to slide it through the baggage check at the airport without getting hit with that $150 – $200 fee that people can get hit with when they roll up to the airport. Another little tip, don’t go out of your way to tell people you have a bike in the first place. Staying under the radar goes a long way.

“Today I’m giving you a big life hack. Picking a bike bag and packing it. If you enjoyed the video be sure to like, subscribe, and share to everyone that’s tired of getting ripped off by airlines.”

Check out the Odyssey Nest Travel Bag.

You can’t go wrong with the DK Golf Flight Bag, either!

If you aren’t looking to spend $140 – $170 on a Travel Bag (Which WILL pay for itself in 2 or 3 trips) that is designed for BMX, you can usually get away with cheaper Golf Bags that are similar in size. Here’s an example of one that is similar in size to the DK Golf Bag and the Odyssey Nest Travel Bag for example…

Troy Harradine – 2017 Skatepark Video

September 30, 2017

Here is a fresh batch of clips featuring Troy Harradine getting down on a few different cement skateparks in Australia. Troy has a deep bag of tricks and he definitely puts it to good use in this one with front flips, whips and much more. Take a peek! This BMX video has a good vibe to it!

“Music by Cottonwood Firing Squad (God)

Wanted to film a skatepark video, got my friends to film me when they could and I appreciate them for it, happy with how this came out. BMX is the best.”

Animal Bikes – Rich Hernandez Cali Heat

September 29, 2017

Animal Bikes have a new recruit out in California that you’re going to want to get familiar with! Check out this BMX video featuring Rich Hernandez going to work on street spots! Rich is not scared to send it on some big rails and drops, and he brings a good amount of style to the table. We’re really digging the way he does tailwhips for some reason.

“Animal Bikes young gun, Rich Hernandez goes APE in his first edit for the team!” – Ride BMX

Billy Perry – $80 Wal-Mart Bike VS NYC Streets

September 29, 2017

I think at some point every real BMX rider has questioned how fast they could absolutely destroy a Wal-Mart BMX bike. Sure, these BMX bikes are inexpensive, but that’s about the only “positive” that comes with a bike from Wal-Mart. Billy Perry, Anthony Panza and Austin Augie decided to pick up their own $80 BMX bike and see what they could throw at the bike before it was no longer rideable. Here’s a look at what happened when the guys put the bike through the paces that any actual BMX bike could handle. After you watch this, go check out these far more legit 2018 Complete BMX Bikes.

“I bought a $80 “BMX” bike from Walmart and hit the streets of New York City with Anthony Panza and Austin Augie to see if the Bike could handle 10 street BMX challenges. The durability of this bike was quite shocking. This was a fun product review / test to do. Shoutout to the cop who helped us fix the bike!”

Eastern Bikes – Trey Turner Park Edit

September 29, 2017

Here’s a fresh batch of clips from Eastern Bikes‘ rider Trey Turner who has been slowly stacking clips for this edit at his local park over the past few months. Trey brings a bunch of grinds and nose balance to this one. If you’re a fan of hang nothings, you’re in for a treat. Take a look!

“So I’ve been filming on this since May off and on and it’s finally finished! If you know me, I produce a lot of videos for instagram, so sometimes real projects take longer then expected! Regardless , I worked hard on each and every trick and line in the video and I hope you guys enjoy it ! Thanks to eastern for holding me down and keeping me shredding ! Track belongs to the suicide boys runnin thru the 7th with my woadies” – Trey Turner
