Kody Bricen – My BMX Progression
It’s always fun looking back on the progression you have made as a rider over the years. Kody Bricen put together this BMX video spanning the last 5 years of his riding from a super make shift foam pit ramp he learned backflips on to where he is currently trying to learn double backflip tailwhips and triple flips! This guy is definitely not scared to huck himself and learn new tricks, even if his training facility is definitely not the safest looking, haha.

SE Bikes – DBlocks Wheelies SoCal
We don’t see a ton of BMX videos out of the bigger bikes like SE Bikes‘s Big Ripper that is designed like a BMX bike but has 29″ wheels, but that doesn’t mean people aren’t getting wild on them. Here’s a video SE dropped of DBlocks getting down on one of the bikes. Plenty of wheelies in this one!
“Dblocks recently brought his wild wheelie skills out to sunny So Cal and luckily we were with him every step of the way. From Venice Beach to Santa Monica to Hollywood and even through ritzy Beverly Hills, the West Coast just wasn’t ready! Him and his Big Ripper definitely left a lasting impression on the city of Angels. Check it out to see how the West was won.
