Since Ben Lewis is no longer riding for Fit Bike Co., the crew over at The Make decided to upload Ben’s old section from their “What’s What?” DVD that came out right around the time he joined the Fit team. It’s pretty crazy seeing what appears to be a tattooless Ben Lewis, but that’s about the only thing that seems off about the video part. Ben slays street spots galore with two pegs (Okay, maybe that’s weird not seeing him with 4 pegs) around England and Spain for this section and it lead to some real solid clips. This one will definitely get the mid school street guys stoked. Check out what Ben laid down for this section!
The Daily Grind – Slider Peg
Are you on the hunt for a new set of BMX Pegs to keep you sliding on every rail and ledge you touch? The guys at The Daily Grind have released their new Slider peg that’s guaranteed to slide like a trip to the bathroom after you hit up White Castle. Actually, we don’t know if it comes with a guarantee like that because that’s promising a lot. Either way… The Slider Peg has a 4.4″ heat-treated chromoly core with an extra thick 4.6″ German nylon sleeve giving you a little extra length and plenty of grind life. The peg comes with a 14mm bore, but each peg also comes with a 3/8″ adaptor for up front.
The Slider peg is available for $19.99 with additional replacement sleeves available for $5.99 through BMX shops and mail-ordes that carry The Daily Grind worldwide now.
If you’re wondering what the hell we were talking about up top… Where they got their inspiration.
“Blueprint” – Seth Kimbrough Section
Here’s a little blast from the past for your viewing pleasure! Snakebite have just uploaded Seth Kimbrough‘s section from the “Blueprint” video that came out way back in 2001! This is a very short, but sweet section filled with street and skatepark gold. Hit play and soak up this goodness.
“Seth’s part was a happy accident in the video. He had been hanging out with Bruce Crisman a lot and between him visiting Portland once, Bruce visiting Seth in Alabama for a few days and us being at Woodward for a contest we came up with this sick little part from Seth that i think gave the video a fun little twist.”
How To Dial In Your Brakes
Although brakes aren’t as common as they used to be on BMX bikes, one of the biggest reasons riders ditch them is because they don’t know how to install or maintain them properly. If you have ever had the chance to ride with Jake Whitney, you would know the kid knows how to dial in a set of brakes. After having a bunch of people ask him how he gets his brakes so dialed, he decided to film a How To video explaining how to get those brakes dialed in so they actually work and work super well. The video itself is a little rough around the edges with the filming, but the advice is real solid. Jake talks about adjusting the tension on the arms and the barrel adjusters, properly lubing up the cables and cleaning your rims. It takes a bit of time and effort, but once you have the system dialed in, you will be way more stoked on running brakes. Hit play and take it all in.

FloriDeah – Swimming Holes and BMX
Trey Jones and crew are back with another round of FloriDeah for your viewing pleasure. This one starts out with some time the crew spent on a rope swing at the swimming hole we’ve seen pop up in Scotty Cranmer‘s videos a few times, then the bikes come out for some street action. Check out what Trey, Jabe Jones, Dave McDermott, Ryan Herbach and Alex Lomelli got into!
“We went to a local swimming hole and then went and rode street later on that night. Overall, a totally kickass day! @treyjonesucks @jabejones @thefathersky @ryanherbach”
Mongoose En Costa Rica – Part 2
If you caught part one of Mongoose En Costa Rica and thought it was a little light on the riding, there is a reason! Part two is focused solely on the riding that went down during the trip and there was no shortage of clips! The intro to this video alone should get you stoked. Hit play to watch the guys go to work on a bunch of skateparks and street spots around the island! Excellent riding and solid film work. Can’t go wrong with this one!
“Mongoose en Costa Rica Part 2 is filled with top-notch riding from Kevin Peraza, Pat Casey, Ben Wallace, Tom Isted, Greg Illingworth and Paul Ryan. Watch as they hit concrete parks all over Costa Rica with some street clips sprinkled in. The trip is capped off with a demo at Kenneth Tencio’s park, 10Cio during its grand opening.”
Brant Moore – BMX Flip Book
Anyone who has ever been bored and had a note pad to work with has probably drawn a flipbook before. Brant Moore was going through an old drawer and came across one that he drew back in 2009 of a rider on some quarterpipes and a spine. He put together this quick video giving you a look at the drawing. Take a look since this is pretty cool, haha.
“A bmx flipbook I made in 2009.
He cased the last trick, thats how people did it in 2009! haha”
