January 17, 2017

Want to learn 180 Downside Tailwhips? If you have 180’s and tailwhips, then it’s a natural progression to put this one together. Ride BMX dropped this How To video with Alec Siemon giving some insight on just how to get this trick done, along with plenty of examples. Hit play, take it all in, grab your bike and send a few!

“Alec Siemon is inexplicably really damn good at the 180 down-whip to fakie. Maybe there’s some long-neck advantage at work here? Either way Alec offers some valuable tips to help you stomp out those pedals and roll out clean from the hard-as-hell 180 downside tailwhip to fakie.

Feeble Life Wax – Reagan Riley Video

January 17, 2017

Reagan Riley coming through with the heat from the streets of California for Feeble Life Wax. Based off the video, it’s safe to say that wax is doing the trick because Reagan brings a ton of dialed grinds to the table, along with some big toboggans and more! This is a real solid BMX video from start to finish. Check it out!

“ Put together over the last half of the year. Reaganism brings the fire to the Cali streets.”

Eclat – Cortex Front Hub

January 17, 2017

The crew at Eclat have released their new Cortex front hub! This hub starts out with a CNC machined 6061-T6 alloy shell that has 2 sealed bearings with a 14mm, heat-treated 4130 chromoly female axle inside and longer 35mm chromoly bolts to keep things tight. The Cortex front hub has narrower flanges for better spoke clearance, allen key hex on the bolts and each hub comes with the 2 of the new Cortex hub guards to protect the hub from grinds.

The Cortex front hub is available in Black and Polished colors through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Eclat worldwide now! If you’re looking for a complete wheel, this hub is also available in a complete wheel with the Bondi XL, Trippin XL or Polar rim as well!

BSD – “Transmission” Crash Section

January 17, 2017

The goodies from the BSD “Transmission” DVD keep on coming! Here’s the “It Never Hurts To Try Again” Bonus section that’s packed with some heavy slams the team took while out stacking clips for the video! When the team is out putting in the work they are putting in, crashing is beyond inevitable and it’s safe to say they accepted that fact with this section! Hit play and try not to make a funny fact or scream some sort of profanity at your screen.

Stacked BMX x NLT Crew – Come Have Fun

January 17, 2017

Last weekend the Stacked BMX Shop and NLT Crew threw a jam out in California for all the locals. This one started out in front of the Stacked shop, then the crew made their way out to a few street spots. Based off the video, it was a super good day with a ton of riders that turned out and plenty of dialed riding that went down. Hit that play button and take a look!

“Saturday the 14th January 2017 Larry Alvarado (Owner of Stacked BMX Shop) and Ryan Hererra (Founder of NLT Crew) came together to support the local BMX scene and throw a huge jam for the kids. This is a damn good representation of how fun the day was, enjoy!

Massive thank you to Larry and Ryan for all they give back to BMX.
