Mic’d Up with Devon Smillie

March 9, 2017

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go out on a filming mission with Devon Smillie? Well, here’s you chance because Ride BMX strapped a Mic on Devon during a session at a school to see and hear just what’s going on from riding and chilling to playing basketball with Demarcus Paul and Garrett Reynolds to slaying a rail that had a little modification. Take a peek!

“Somewhere between a Bullshittin’ and an interview, we have this. I met up with Tony Neyer, Reed Stark, and Devon Smillie while they were were in town getting some last minute clips for the upcoming videos. After just chilling for a while, I decided to throw a mic on Devon and let him do his thing. The goal wasn’t to interview Devon or get him to talk shit on anything, but simply get a real, honest glimpse at what goes through Devon’s head as he’s about to clock in for a clip. Shout out to Reed to taking over at the end there, too!” – Ride BMX

New Record BMX High Jump

March 9, 2017

Scotty Cranmer decided to bust out the High Jump contest once again! Here’s a video from the next round where Big Boy, Mike Shimak, Cory Berglar, Ricky Hoffman, Brooklyn, Cory Berglar and Eddie Rovi see just who is the highest air champ. Can Big Boy hold the title, or is there a new champion? Hit play and find out!

“It’s been about a year since the last time Big Boy upset the whole crew by beating every single one of us in the high jump competition out of the bank! We finally decided to see if it was a fluke win if Big Boy is really just a master of this event so we brought the crew out and some new faces to see if the record could be broken or matched! The boys started off easily clearing the bar and even tricking it! BK even tried to tail whip the bar and had an insane crash! Is the competition went on competitor started dropping until there were two that battled back-and-forth and at the end someone was able to break the old height record! And the winner just may surprise you!”

Monster Energy – Toyota Triple Challenge: Atlanta

March 9, 2017

We were starting to wonder if Monster Energy would be releasing their official edit from the Toyota Triple Challenge stop in Atlanta, Georgia. They finally dropped it online, so here’s a look at all of the action that went down at this stop! Plenty of crazy flips, whips, spins and much more in this one.

“The third and final stop of the 2017 Toyota BMX Triple Challenge hit the Party In the Pits before the gates dropped at the Monster Energy Supercross in the Georgia Dome. With Monster’s own Kyle Baldock in the points lead going into Atlanta, the best riders in the world came out swinging for the overall title. Attempts at 360 body varials, quad whips into 720 barspin-to-barspins, backflip triple whips, 1080s into cash rolls, 360 double barspin-to-late downside tailwhip…the level of riding in Atlanta was even beyond the first two stops. In the end, Kyle laid down a backflip barspin-to-tailwhip and a 720 double tailwhip to score second place and take the crown as the first ever Toyota BMX Triple Challenge Champion.
Results:

First Place – Logan Martin
Second Place – Kyle Baldock
Third Place – Brandon Loupos
Best Trick Winner – Jake Leiva – Backflip Triple Tailwhip

Toyota BMX Triple Challenge Series Champion – Kyle Baldock

Profile Racing – How To Install A BMX Stem, Headset and Fork

March 9, 2017

We have been really stoked on all of the How To videos that have been coming out to explain proper bike maintenance. The crew at Profile Racing just released this new video explaining the proper steps to install a BMX headset, fork and stem on your bike. Now, this isn’t rocket science by any means, but it’s an important thing for any BMX rider to know how to do. This video covers the proper steps from placing the headset cups in, spacers needed for the stem and how to properly tighten everything down.

One thing they don’t cover in this video is how to cut down a fork if you prefer to run fewer spacers. That is something that is a little more advanced and requires either pipe cutters or a metal saw, but advised against since in some cases it can cause you to screw up your fork or even void your warranty. Let’s just focus on what this video covers, though.

“We here at Profile use Deco FuForks along side Deco Headsets.
Accompanied with Profile’s Push Stem, let Gus Lanzilotta run you through the proper install.”

Wethepeople – Territories: Ed Zunda & Dillon Lloyd

March 9, 2017

The second episode from the “Territories” trip some of the Wethepeople and Eclat team took to Ningbo, China is live! This time around we get a look at what Ed Zunda and Dillon Lloyd got into during their time exploring spots. As always, both of these guys bring some heavy grinds and smooth lines to the table, making for a real good watch from start to finish. It looks like Dillon also left his mark on some bamboo that had it coming. THis video is packed full of dialed riding and spots, with some super clean film work. Do NOT pass it up!

After you watch this, go watch Eclat Territories: Alex Kennedy & Bruno Hoffmann

“Back in October of last year we started a new DIG travel project. For the first one we teamed up with official partner brands Éclat BMX and WETHEPEOPLE and selected two riders from each brand to accompany us to a city none of us had ever been to or even knew about. Ningbo is about 2.5 hours south of Shanghai in China and had more than enough good spots and interesting locals to make for an epic trip.

Episode 2 features Ed Zunda & Dillon Lloyd (WETHEPEOPLE). The 1st episode in this series features Alex Kennedy and Bruno Hoffmann and the third episode will feature our ‘In The Cut’ behind the scenes footage from the whole trip.

Big thanks to Touch Bike Co for all their help.

Subrosa – UTB Shortcut

March 9, 2017

The other day we got a look at the new “UTB” bikes that Subrosa are releasing for those of you looking for a bigger bike to cruise when you aren’t on your BMX bike. Anyone who has rode BMX has always had trouble with these “big bikes” because you without a doubt will try and ride it like a BMX bike, and that’s not going to hold up well with those weak frames and wheels. Subrosa decided to design their own big bikes that can handle some of that abuse properly, whether it’s riding rough terrain, hopping curbs or just hauling ass and hoping for the best. Here’s a little promo video showing what the bike can handle with Ryan Sher putting the bike to good use.

After you check out the bike, take a closer look at both of the Subrosa UTB Bikes right here!

Anyone else think they did miss an opportunity to promote the Subrosa locks at the end of this one? Random thought that popped up.

“In our quest to cover what you ride from Cradle to Grave, we are stoked to officially introduce you to our newest bikes we’ve dubbed the UTB or Urban Terrain Bike.

The Subrosa UTB is an all new way of thinking for Subrosa. We set out to blend the feeling of BMX with the speed and comfort of a commuter bike and the UTB was created.

You no longer need to fear the end of the sidewalk!
