Joris Coulomb – Balance

April 7, 2017

We were wondering when this video from Joris Coulomb‘s trip to India would be making its way online. Today is the day! Here’s a look at Joris getting down on spots he found during his visit, along with plenty of lifestyle clips giving you a look at what the place is like. As expected, Joris brings a ton of style and dialed riding to the spots he came across. Add in some dialed film work by Antoine Sabourin and you have a BMX video that’s well worth a watch!

“In conjunction with Soul BMX, we’ve got this awesome new video from France’s Joris Coulomb and filmer Antoine Sabourin and their adventure to the world’s second most populous country, India. Just riding in it’s most simple form out there seems like a mission but Joris managed to find some pretty rad setups and between the life experience of travelling to such a different land looked like he had an incredible time. Forget your vlog today – this is the good shit.

Zozo Kempf 2017 Video Bike Check

April 7, 2017

Zozo Kempf just released this new video Bike Check giving us a look at his current Colony Sweet Tooth setup decked out top to bottom in Colony and Vocal BMX parts. This isn’t in English, but luckily BMX is pretty universal so you can still get a good idea of just what Zozo is running on his bike from what he says or by what you can see on the bike. It looks like a dialed unit to us! Take a peek!

Connor Lodes OFF Kink

April 6, 2017

Kink have just announced they have parted ways with Connor Lodes…

Today we unfortunately are announcing that @connor_lodes will no longer be on the Kink Pro Team. We are extremely proud of Connors' Kink Redwood Signature Products we accomplished together, along with the savage footage he has accumulated with Kink over the years. Connor remains a good friend, and we wish him nothing but the best for his future on and off the bike!

Here’s some news that might surprise some of you. Kink have parted ways with Connor Lodes and just made the announcement on Instagram. Connor had originally joined the team toward the end of 2014 and had a productive few years. He has been a little under the radar lately healing up from injuries and more, so we’re not sure why they decided to let him go, but it would appear they’re still on good terms. We are curious if they have plans of adding a new rider to the pro team to fill that spot… We could potentially see Casey Starling making the move up from the AM squad, but we’ll have to wait and see.

Here’s some news we have a feeling some of you won’t be completely caught off guard by… Empire have officially added Clint Reynolds to their line up! Here’s a short but sweet clip that was just released on Instagram to bring the news that Bob Scerbo whipped up. We have a feeling we’ll be seeing a full on welcome video in the near future. Either way, we’re stoked to hear the news since Clint kicks a ton of ass.
