Profile Racing – Limited Edition “Wing P” Spectrum Colorway

May 24, 2016

Is it time for some new BMX Hubs or a stem? The crew at Profile Racing have just released their latest Limited Edition colorway on the Mini and Elite hubs, along with the Push stem in 48mm and 53mm reach sizes. The new colorway features their classic “Wing P” logo with a spectrum of colors, which appear to be other color options they have been offering their hubs and parts in currently or in the past.

There are only 55 sets of right and left side drive mini hubs, even fewer Elite hubs and Push stems, so if you’re looking to get a set, you will want to have your local BMX shop or favorite mail-order get you a set ordered up ASAP!

You can find full specs and details on the Mini and Elite hubs, and the Push stem on ProfileRacing.com

Kink House – International Guests

May 24, 2016

One of the best parts about BMX is that regardless if you speak the same language, your riding can do all the translating. During the Kink teams stay in San Diego, they invited their international connects Kazique Ceballos from Colombia and Ken Apache from Japan on out to stay with them. Above is a look at all of the crazy footage they collected during their time. It’s safe to say both of these guys took serious advantage of the opportunity and absolutely CRUSHED IT. Hit play! You will NOT be disappointed.

“Kink BMX World Team riders, Jorge Kazique Ceballos from Bogota, Colombia, and Ken Apache from Nagoya, Japan had the opportunity to experience America for the first time at the Kink House II in San Diego, CA. Take a look at their take on San Diego’s spots, parks, and random finds! Very little English was spoken, but there was more than enough understanding that BMX can bring anybody together, from anywhere in the world. A culture shock for everyone involved…we were proud to host our International dudes!

Lauren Mirra Talks Dave Mirra’s Final Days & Battle with CTE

May 24, 2016

When we first heard that Dave Mirra had passed away and the circumstances, much like many of you, we were in disbelief and trying to understand why somebody who had everything could take their life. Today, X-Games released a new interview with Dave Mirra’s wife, Lauren, discussing some of his final weeks and days leading up to the incident. They also discuss the brain test results verifying that Dave was battling Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, the same thing researchers are finding on NFL players brains with many concussions, which explains the struggle and state of mind he was battling with in those final months, weeks and days.

Rest In Peace, Dave. We know your battle is over and you’re at rest now.
