Animal Bikes X Terrible One – Garrett Byrnes Tire Promo

July 14, 2016

Animal Bikes uploaded the Garrett Byrnes promo for the Animal X Terrible One collaboration Ursa Minor and Major Tires to their Youtube channel, so we figured it was a good enough excuse for another look at it! Hit play to watch Garrett absolutely destroy a few skateparks, pools and street spots with a few guest clips from Lil Jon. Everything about this video kicks ass, so make sure you hit play and enjoy this… A couple times!

“Animal bikes and Terrible one have teamed up to bring a new dual compound tire to the streets and skateparks. The hard compound on top provides a lower rolling resistance while the soft compound on the outside provides increased corner grip.”

Jayden Fuller 2016 Video

July 14, 2016

Here’s a fresh BMX video we had sitting in the inbox this morning featuring Jayden Fuller absolutely CRUSHING it at a few skateparks down in Australia. Jayden has a full bag of tricks from flips to whips, stretched no handers and more that he links together into some wild combos with plenty of style. This is definitely a BMX video you’ll want to check out if you’re looking for some dialed ramp riding.

“It’s always a pleasure filming with Jayden and we’re always stoked on what we end up with. This time was no different and I think it’s probably the best edit we’ve worked on together so far!
Check out the clips we got at a bunch of different parks around Brisbane and enjoy!” – Paul Gerlich
