It looks like Mike “Jersey” Taylor has decided to retire from his Pro BMX days as he officially stepped down from the BSD and G Sport Pro teams (but we would imagine he’ll still be apart of both brands teams) in a post on Instagram. Jersey has been an absolute savage on the streets for years, so there are probably a few rails that are breathing a sigh of relief, but we’re sure he will still be out there crushing it on a BMX bike. It also looks like he’ll be making moves in the downhill mountain bike world, so maybe you will see him more if you’re into bigger bikes in the near future, too.

Either way, Mike was one hell of a rider and there’s no doubt that he has left his mark on BMX’s history over the years!

Tate Roskelley Gets Loose Inside a Bowling Ball Factory

November 17, 2016

What does BMX and bowling have in common? Not a lot other than you can drink beer and hang out with your buddy’s when you do it and that it doesn’t matter how often you do it, you will never be perfect 100% of the time. We just came across this new video featuring Tate Roskelley getting down inside the Roto Grip factory where he comes up with a bunch of creative lines and setups to ride while the employees do their thing! Take a peek!
