Focalpoint – “Alive & Well” Trailer

April 13, 2017

Here’s some awesome news that you sould be stoked on. Focalpoint just dropped this trailer for their “Alive & Well” DVD that is dropping later this month! Based off the trailer, it’s safe to say these guys put in some serious work for this video and definitely had their asses kicked a bit in the process. This video features a ton of Australia’s finest with Cooper Brownlee behind the lens, so you know it’s going to be a real good watch. Get the full details on the video below!

“I’m so excited for this trailer to be out. I can’t thank all the guys involved in this project enough, they really went above and beyond and I feel it will show in the riding when the dvd drops. For now though you get to see 6 months of filming crammed into 3 minutes.

The DVD will feature full sections from Jake Deering, Sean Falkenstein, Alex Bolton, Kym Grosser, Pat Freyne and Jack Kelly along with a stack of clips from more crew.

We are having 2 DVD premiere’s for this project. The first being at ACT jam (Thanks to Backbone) at the after party on Monday night (April 24th). Then we will be having another premiere in Melbourne on May 5th at Revolver. More details to follow.

The DVD itself will be free and you have 2 ways of getting it… You can pre-order it here and we will post you out a copy on May 5th for just the cost of postage ($5 anywhere in the world). Or, from today, all apparel orders from the online store will receive a free copy in their orders. Note: Your apparel order will ship straight away, we will send you the dvd on May 5th.

Special thanks to Fuzz Me for the track” – Cooper Brownlee

411 Video Magazine – Day In the Life of Steve Crandall (2002)

April 13, 2017

Here’s a Throwback Thursday for you. FBM uploaded Steve Crandall‘s old Day In The Life video that appeared in 411 Video Magazine way back in 2002. This video starts out in the morning, follows Steve to one of the old FBM warehouses, then he catches a session at Kelly Bakers’ trails and then the East Coast Terminal skatepark! Crazy to think this was 15 years ago already! Take a peek!

“A day in the life circa 2002, from the first issue of 411 Video Magazine for BMX, filmed by Matty Branscombe.”

Sneak Peek: Tall Order – Wallride Tire

April 12, 2017

A little sneak preview of the new Tall Order Wallride Tire…

It looks like Sebastian Keep and the Tall Order crew are working on expanding their offerings later this year. Here’s a sneak peek look at their new Wallride Tire that they’re currently working on that will be hitting BMX shops and mail-orders in July! There isn’t much for information on the BMX tire just yet, but based off what we can see here, the tire has a smoother center tread pattern and more aggressive sides. The sides are in the shape of the Tall Order logo and have additional knurling for more grip. We would assume this tire will come in a 2.30″ or 2.40″ size, but we’ll have to wait and see just what they are cooking up closer to the release. We’ll keep you posted once we get full specs and details on the Tall Order Wallride Tire!

Game of BIKE – Anthony Panza VS Billy Perry

April 12, 2017

It looks like Anthony Panza and Billy Perry are back at it again with another Game of B-I-K-E! As always, the trash talking levels are high and the riding gets pretty heavy. Check out what both of these guys threw down (and didn’t throw down) during a best out of three to see just who takes the title of winner!

“It’s been a while since the boys last played a game of bike against each other on camera, so why not on this beautiful day. Watch myself and Billy Perry go head to head in a “Game of Bike” 2x at my local skate park. It was a super fun time and a great session. If you enjoyed this video, feel free to leave a comment. Should I continue to do videos like this one? Let me know!” – Panza

Corey Martinez – 10 Years United

April 12, 2017

It’s kind of crazy to think that Corey Martinez has been on United Bike Co. for 10 years already, after parting ways with his prior sponsor Federal Bikes. To celebrate a decade of absolutely amazing riding and world travel, we get a compilation of some of Corey’s best footage that spans the full 10 years all packed into one video. It’s kind of awesome to see his style subtly change over the years and the constant progression. That and watching the beard come and go a few times. Hit play and take in banger after banger in this BMX video!

“Some riders just have ‘that thing’ and Corey Martinez is one of those few people. Celebrating the end of his tenth year as a non-stop part of the United family, T-Nez has done it all – numerous epic video sections, NBD’s, and trips throughout the world and all with that fun loving attitude. Corey has been there with United since day one and this video celebrates their unity. If ever there was a model for a true professional, it has to be this guy. Recall and enjoy some of his finest moments. All hail T-Nez!” – DIG

Wethepeople – Matteo Vitali Welcome Video

April 12, 2017

It looks like Wethepeople have added Matteo Vitali to their line up in Italy through Frontocean. Here’s a look at his official welcome video where he goes to work on street spots stacking some heavy clips. Matteo is no stranger to hauling ass, sending it down big drops and stair sets and putting his pegs to heavy use. This video is a clear indicator of just why Wethepeople have given him the hook up! Hit play and take it all in!

Weird & Revered – Island Boys

April 12, 2017

It looks like Justin Schwanke and Thomas Henderson were over the cold winter in Canada and decided to head south… To Hawaii! Here’s a fresh Weird & Revered video where both of these guys spent 10 days stacking clips at different skateparks and street spots. Based off the video the weather was amazing and they had a ton of fun riding.

Sneak Peek: Alone BMX – PATT 2 Tire

April 12, 2017

It has been a little while since we’ve seen anything from the Alone BMX crew, but it looks like they’ve been busy working on a new BMX tire that will be available later this year. It sounds like the tire is an updated version of their existing PATT tire, but it will be more street friendly. Below you can find a little more information direct from Alone. We’ll keep you posted when we hear more.

“A little bit of product news today. We have been working on a new tyre due for release this autumn. It’s the successor to our PATT tyre imaginatively titled the PATT 2.
Still high pressure casing (110psi) but with a new smoother rolling tread pattern and wider size 2.40″. Look out for these later this year. Party All The Time.”
