Dan’s Comp – How To Bunnyhop

September 7, 2017

There are no shortage of how to’s when it comes to the classic Bunnyhop, but there’s also a lot of little tricks and tips that everyone has to help make the trick work. It’s without a doubt one of those tricks that the more you do them, the easier they get, and the higher you can go. Here’s another how to video from Dan’s Comp where Mike Barrow gives you a bunch of tips and examples on just how to get the bunnyhop done right. First step to doing a bunnyhop… Don’t call it a Pro Hop.

“The bunnyhop is one of the most basic tricks in BMX, but it is also one of the most important moves to learn. The bunnyhop is the foundation for many other tricks and having a solid hop in your skillset brings it all together. Mike Barrow from the Dan’s Comp team shows you how, with some added insight to get those extra inches out of your hop. Practice is key. Now, hop to it!” – Dan’s Comp

Wethepeople – 2018 Audio 22″ Complete Bike

September 7, 2017

Wethepeople have released their anticipated 2018 Audio 22″ complete bike…

Earlier this year we caught wind that a number of brands were getting into 22″ bikes for 2018 after nearly 15 years since the very first 22″ BMX bike was designed up by the guys at Faction BMX. We made a pretty bold claim that this year would be the year 22″ finally blew up and became a real player in BMX. Now we’re starting to see some of the other brands bikes and it’s pretty clear as to why we feel like that claim was accurate.

Yesterday Wethepeople released their new 2018 Complete Bikes Catalog and as expected they had their new Audio 22″ Complete Bike tucked into the pages. Since we have been curious about the bike since we first caught wind of it, we figured it was a great time to take a closer look at the bike! Let’s get into this…

As expected, Wethepeople built up a dialed bike with a mix of parts from the Wemakethings family of brands (Wethepeople, Eclat, Salt, etc.) with a few new additions to accommodate the larger size like the wheels, rims and fork that come with the bike. Overall, the bike turned out great and it looks like it’s an amazing option for the riders out there looking for something a little bit bigger! The 2018 Audio 22″ Complete Bike is starting to hit BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Wethepeople worldwide now!

BSD – Liam Zingbergs: Daze Off

September 7, 2017

Whenever you see Liam Zingbergs name pop up, you know you’re in for a treat. Due to his work schedule, he has been held back from crushing spots as frequently as he used to, but that doesn’t mean he’s not taking full advantage of his time off. BSD just dropped a fresh video featuring Liam going to work on spots during that off time that is a clear indicator that he’s still putting in work on those days off! Hit play because this is a damn good watch.

“Liam Zingbergs has a love hate relationship with his job, he loves to hate it! So when the chance comes he takes off as much time as possible to travel with his bike. This video was filmed in Barcelona in the last week of a 3 month BMX holiday to California, New York, France and Spain.
