Ben Weber Kramer Joyride 2017

March 14, 2017

It’s pretty crazy how much talent comes out of the Joyride 150 park up in Canada. It’s no surprise that there have been a lot of young guns who are super good for their age coming out of the place as well. Here’s a video we had sent through featuring 12 year old Ben Weber Kramer throwing down at the place. Ben has a real solid bag of tricks under his belt already and it looks like he’s not scared of the massive ramps the place has to ride, either. Check out some clips he’s stacked so far this year from a few sessions!

Radio Bikes – Ricky Grimal Full Speed

Radio Bikes coming through with a new video featuring their Spanish connect, Ricky Grimal, getting down on a few sets of trails and the Malaga Skatepark. Ricky likes to go fast and big, with plenty of style and that’s just what this video is packed with. The editing is a little crazier than we’re into at times, but the riding is too good to miss out! Hit play and take it all in!

“Our Spanish cement and dirt slayer Ricky Grimal turns it up to 11 and blasts the hell our of every transition and dirt lip he can lay his tires on. Filmed over the past few months in Barcelona and Malaga, Ricky is an unstoppable shredding machine.

Big thanks to our Spanish distributor 360 Bicycles for making this possible.

It looks like Ryan Guettler will be running Fist Handwear gloves for the foreseeable future. It was announced today in Ryan’s latest video, and in a press release sent over by Fist, that Ryan has officially joined their team. Up top we get a video of Ryan touring the Fist warehouse in Tasmania, and then some footage from a session. Below you can get the official word on the news. Check it!

“FIST Handwear are proud to announce the signing of Ryan Guettler to the #FISTARMY “It is with great excitement we announce Ryan’s addition to the FIST ARMY”, said Sam Moore of FIST Handwear. “To have someone of Ryan’s profile and expertise both on and off the bike I feel is an amazing step in the right direction towards growing our company the right way the way not to mention that he is a legendary bloke!”

“I’m super pumped to be joining the Fist Handwear crew. I reached out to the owner Sam Moore about supporting a contest I was organizing and he got behind the event with extreme motivation and really stepped up to the plate when it came to products for the kids. After the event I took a pair of gloves to my next riding session and could not believe how good they fit and didn’t want to ever put my old ones back on. I got my roommate and friends to test them out with me and we all agreed they are the best gloves ever made”.

“I jumped online and wanted to buy a bunch more off Sam but he suggested we take it one step further and I join the already amazing BMX team. My head started spinning with ideas and now I’m fully committed to designing an amazing line of gloves for the next generation of BMX riders!! Good times ahead”.“
