Scotty Cranmer – Terrorist Concerns?

September 23, 2016

Scotty Cranmer and Big Boy are out in California for some Nissan and Boost Mobile stuff, but decided to take some time to cruise around downtown Los Angeles to cruise around. Other than hitting a bunch of security and a few cops, it looks like they had a good time! Take a peek!

“We just got to Los Angeles, California for a very busy week working with Boost Mobile for a commercial and with Nissan this weekend but while having some free time we decided to use the hour that we had to go explore downtown LA and ride whatever we could find! On our way we ran into Marquese Scott a professional dancer that has a video on youtube with over 128,000,000 views! We also found some really fun spots to ride. We started to ride these ledges at a random building until a security guard stormed out of the building yelling “Hey, what are you doing?” he then asked us a few questions because they are concerned about terrorists, we found out it was a federal building! oops! After that accident we stumbled upon a classic LA spot at a craws where I did a wall ride to tail whip and Big Boy did a wall ride to 180. We were having so much fun that we forgot to bring the extra batteries with us and the camera died shortly after! But its all good because there will be a new video tomorrow!”

Tariq Haouche On GT Bicycles

September 23, 2016

It looks like GT Bicycles have a new rider over in the U.K! We’re not familiar with Tariq Haouche, but after checking out this short but sweet video packed full of grinds and wall rides at Unit 23 Skatepark, it’s easy to see why they picked him up! This is just a quick video, so we’re assuming there’s plenty more to come!

“Tariq Haouche recently got put on GT BIKES. He paid a visit to Scotland for college and In-between classes he came out for a session at unit 23. I can’t wait to see what TARIQ has for the future as he seriously shreds.” – Jason Phelan

Who Has The Best 360 In BMX?

September 23, 2016

Have you ever wondered who has the best 360 in BMX? It’s a pretty basic trick that pretty much every rider can do, but there is always going to be one or two that you think of as the perfect example….

We had a little free time at Interbike 2016, so we decided to walk around a put a bunch of riders and industry guys on the spot with a camera in their face to find out who they think has the best 360s in BMX. It’s always pretty funny seeing how people react and how their brain instantly starts flying through the highlight reels to come up with an answer on the spot, and this lead to plenty of laughs and some real good answers. Needless to say it lead to some pretty interesting and diverse answers, with a few guys that we could say probably hold that top spot… Hit play and check out what a ton of guys had to say!

Check out Who Has The Best Turndowns In BMX?

It’s hard to justify who really has the best 360 in BMX because there are so many factors and tastes. Are we talking ramps, street, trails? Nose dipped, regular or with a trick? We let the people we asked interpret it however they felt to get their best answers.

Who do you think has the best 360’s in BMX? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
