S&M Bikes – Hella Hoe Down Trip

March 17, 2017

Here’s one for you dirt lovers! Check out this fresh video from S&M Bikes crew down in Australia who recently took a trip to cruise a few different sets of trails, skateparks, garage ramps and a few street spots. This video is loaded with plenty of speed and style that doesn’t disappoint. This also gives you an idea of what the crew got into off their bikes as well, which is entertaining, too. Great watch from start to finish as long as you aren’t worried about grind combos and freecoaster action, since there isn’t much of that in this gem!

“S&M Australia’s Tim Boorman, Bevan Cowan, Xave Koen, Will Gunn get loose as hell on the road through New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. Some epic good times, fast and raw riding, and one or two beers – these guys know how to do it in the classic BMX style. Feel good vibe all the way!

Hangin’ with Lavs – Ryan Mills

March 17, 2017

It’s pretty wild how peoples lives can take some serious twists and turns. Ryan Mills was a Pro rider that basically disappeared a few years ago and didn’t really hear anything about him. It turns out he ended up taking a trip down a road with drug addiction that basically destroyed his life. Ryan has been working his ass off to get his life back and has been sober for close to a year now, and he’s been willing to tell his story to hopefully help others that might be caught up in a bad situation. Ryan has been getting back into BMX to help him stay sober, which has been really beneficial for him. TJ Lavin had Ryan stop by to sit down and tell his story for the latest “Hangin’ with Lavs” interview. This is definitely an interview you’ll want to check out.

“Ryan Mills is one of the most talented street riders from Vegas. He’s been through the ringer due to a lot of bad decisions but he’s pulling himself out. Watch, listen, and learn… Honored to have this guy in the chair!“

Profile Racing – Tech Tip: Difference Between Mini and Elite Drivers

March 17, 2017

By now, you’re well aware of Profile Racing‘s classic Mini hubs and their Elite hub that would attract a swarm of bees from the sound. What you probably don’t know is that Profile Racing were the first to engineer a cassette hub for BMX, which ultimately allowed for all of us to run a 9 or 10-tooth driver on the majority of rear wheels today. What you might not know is what the difference is between the drive the Mini hub uses and the driver that the Elite hub uses. The difference is 156 points of engagements and two more pawls. For their latest Tech Tip, Profile have decided to explain the differences and talk about how the pawls are different for each driver. This is a pretty interesting piece to check out if you’re a product or design nerd. Take a peek at it all right here — Tech Tip: What Drives You
