Scotty Cranmer – Drum Point Skatepark Session

July 23, 2016

Scotty Cranmer coming through with a BMX video from a session he caught with most of the crew at the Drum Point Skatepark out in New Jersey. This prefab skatepark has a bunch of options for riding and it looks like all of these guys were able to cook up some dialed clips in the park and off a very massive truck. Hit play and see just what went down!

“We took a trip over to Drum point skatepark in Brick Township, NJ to ride this legendary pre-fab skatepark! The whole crew rolled up and it was definitely a hot one! Big Boy, with his brand new Cult Frame got right to work with a Flair Challenge and he was really scared to try it! He crashed really hard the first attempt and the n landed the flair on the next attempt! Cory Berglar was on fire doing some really clicked turndowns and even pulled his fake challenge! I did some tricks that i was really excited about includinga 180 to smith to 540 out! Then Jake and Pete with their massive lifted ford truck stopped by and I talked them into letting me do a tail whip out of the truck as it pulled away! It was pretty crazy! Such a fun day on the BMX and another fun video!”

How BMX Tires Are Made

July 23, 2016

Curious how bicycle tires are made? Here’s a video that shows how it’s done!

Making a BMX tire is a complex process of combining a bunch of layers of rubber, wire and nylon together to make a single tire. The other day, Chris Moeller dropped some videos on Instagram giving us a look at some of those processes while a few of the S&M Bikes tires were being made over in Taiwan, which for some reason were deleted later. After we watched the videos, we decided to see if we could find more in-depth footage showing and explaining just how tires for bikes are made. Luckily, Schwalbe had a super good video to show just how the process is done from start to finish and how tubes for bicycles are made. It’s definitely interesting to see how much goes into a single tire. Above you can find the video that Schwalbe made giving you a look at the full process of how a bicycle tire and even how tubes are made. These aren’t BMX tires, but it’s a very similar process that is used to do a BMX tire, just a smaller diameter, thicker rubber and different tread patterns. Pretty cool, huh?
