Sneak Peek: Wethepeople – 22″ Tires

February 25, 2017

If you’re into 22″ bikes, we have some good news. The guys at QBMX dropped a sneak preview of a new 22″ BMX tire that Wethepeople will be releasing soon. Not much for information on the tire yet, but we have a feeling that there will be more for a 22″ bike beyond just the tires coming from Wethepeople. I mean, why would they only release a 22″ tire? We’ve been seeing more brands release 22″ products since the guys at Faction kicked things off a few years ago, and it seems like things are starting to pick up for that particular size of BMX bike. We’ll keep you posted once we hear more about these tires from Wethepeoeple. We can’t imagine it’ll be too long if they were down to let this drop online!

Brant Moore – 5 Skateparks + Street In One Day

February 25, 2017

The Midwest is finally starting to see some signs of warmer weather now that Spring isn’t officially too far off. Brant Moore wanted to take advantage of the unseasonably warm weather that rolled through last week by spending a day riding 5 different skateparks and a little bit of street around Ohio. This isn’t filled the craziest riding, but there’s definitely some solid clips throughout this between Brant, Brian and even a few Zack Gerber clips. Take a peek!

Side note.. Apparently Ohio has a couple really nice cement parks!

“Five Different Skateparks and street riding all in one day!

Brian and I went on a Ohio Skatepark tour from Wooster to Columbus, hitting a bunch of parks along the way. We met up with Zack Gerber and had a ton of fun.
Hope you enjoy the video that came of it!”
