The latest BMX Videos, Products and News!
We’re always stoked to get a BMX video from Malaysia. Here’s a fresh one featuring a guy called Aan that is a grinding and freecoasting machine. Hit play to check out a bunch of clips he filmed during his sessions this past month.
“Thanks to ammar Shukri, he helped a lot in this video.
Thank you for watching and keep on riding.” – Mohamad Farhan
With the popularity of Electric Bikes or “eBikes” as some people like to call them, it was bound to start spreading into other styles of bicycles. We just spotted this video over on Can You Dig It of this electric BMX bike that a company called Life EV is making… And of course it turned out looking like a bike straight out of Wally World. Mag wheels, full aluminum frame, massive sprocket, railed seat, quick release seat post clamp, 1.95″ tires (which make sense if you’re trying to go fast). Hit play for a little example of this unit. Apparently it comes in two styles, one that goes 12 MPH and one that goes 20 MPH. No freecoaster on this one.
The Animal Bikes Japan team coming through with a dialed new video from their trip to Tokyo. These guys went to work on every rail, ledge and jib spot they could find putting their pegs to good use all along the way. Hit play and take it all in!
“Animal Japan International riders (AKA JapAnimal), Nobuhiro “Pegy” Masuda, and new comers to the squad, Osomatsu Kazuei and Daisuke Shiraishi, have put together this amazing street edit representing the essence of Animal. Watch them tear up the streets of Tokyo and hit some amazing spots.”
Have you ever wondered what it’s like going spot hunting with Dakota Roche? Well, buckle your seat belt because you’re in for a ride. Hit play and get a behind the scenes look at what went into working on his new Monster Energy video that drops tomorrow! Get stoked, tomorrow is going to be a good day!
“I spent five days cruising (and shooting photos) around in the back of Dakota Roche’s truck while he and Calvin Kosovich stacked clips for his new video, “Bay Roam.” On the last day, I brought out the camera and proceeded to have a casual conversation about spots, the project, and more as we cruised through the cuts of SF in search of spots…
Look for Dak’s new video “Bay Roam” from Monster Energy to drop 12/1 at 9am PST!” – Ryan Fudger / Ride BMX
We haven’t seen a ton of Ronnie Napolitan footage since he had double knee surgery, but it’s safe to say he’s back to absolutely crushing it on a bike. Here’s a video Woodward East released with a bunch of footage from camp, along with some insight into how he got into coffee and the coffee business. Hit play and take it all in! It’s pretty awesome seeing how stoked Ronnie is on where he is in life now.
“BMX Pro and Woodward PA local Ronnie Napolitan takes us on a ride through his daily life where he balances his passion for BMX and work with Rothrock Coffee.
Filmed/Edited: Dan Foley”

We haven’t heard much from Eastern Bikes the past few years, but they’re definitely still around. Here’s their brand 2017 catalog giving you a look at the full range of 2017 Eastern Bikes completes, frames and parts. They have a pretty full range from entry level up to expert when it comes to bikes, along with a few smaller balance bikes and bigger cruiser style bikes. Hit the flipbook above and take a look!
