Due for a new BMX Seat? Here’s a little sneak peek at the new Tripod seat that Proper Bike Co. are working with their team rider Josh James AKA Boqer123 that will be hitting BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Proper in about two weeks. It sounds like the seat will be available in two colors (no word on the 2nd) and it appears to be a leather seat with a stitched “BQR” logo and stitched side tag. All in all, it looks like a real clean seat to us.
Have you ever looked at a BMX part and wondered how they do certain things? Have you ever seen the term “laser etched” and tried to imagine how they do it? Well, if you imagined a big laser blasting the parts, you would be pretty far off. Luckily, Profile Racing posted up this video showing how they laser etch the “Profile Racing” logo on one of their Z-Coaster hubs! Pretty cool if we may say although it’s not quite as crazy as we expected.
Have you been considering picking up the Profile Racing Z-Coaster freecoaster hub, but you were hoping for more color options? Well, you’re in luck because Profile Racing have added a few more splashes of color to their line up. You can now pick up this freecoaster hub in black, polished, purple, aqua, blue, red, green and gold through all BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Profile Racing for around $359.99 now! Looks good to us!
Tony Cherry dropped this fresh BMX video featuring The Daily Grind‘s newest recruit, Mike Vitatoe, putting in some time at Ollies Skatepark in Kentucky! Mike brings plenty of grinds and lines and Tony even sneaks in for a clip or two as well. Take a look!
“Mike Vitatoe lives in Cincinnati Ohio where the winters are cold a snow is inevitable. So he escapes to his closest indoor skate park. I caught a session with him one winter night, and he killed it. This is the result of our session at Ollie’s Skate park in Florence Ky..

It’s pretty interesting to see the way BMX rallies together in weird times. It usually takes something pretty disappointing to get everyones attention and it leads to a lot of reminders of just why we all love BMX. Today, 90East have had this little note circulating to remind everyone.
“True BMX is a counter culture.
Period.
It was, is, and will always be.
Riding street is illegal.
Riding hand rails and damaging property is illegal.
Riding a skate-only park is illegal.
Building trails on others property is illegal.
Trespassing is illegal.
If you need to pervert this culture for popularity or to make money, do yourself a favor…
Stop and go get a real job.
After you have given up and left, we will still be here.
Please be kind and remember to shut the door on your way out.”
Wise and true words. At the end of the day, it’s the core brands and riders that get to decide where this ship goes. Some people might have other ideas, but as history shows, that ship only goes in a direction that is right for everyone, not just a few people who might have a more lucrative plan.
Does BMX need to work on things… Yes. It needs some real work to figure out what it needs to make it’s next step. Does slapping the entire industry in the face help? No. That’s not the wake up call it needs. It needs people that are going to work together to make the steps together and eventually it will get to where it needs to be at the right place and the right time. Forcing it and giving everyone the finger isn’t going to inspire change. At least not the change that is desired.
Long live BMX.
There’s no doubt that Devon Smillie has been on complete FIRE for a while now, and it doesn’t look like he’s slowing down any time soon with more support than ever. Check out this fan compilation BMX video of Devon’s Instagram footage. So many crazy clips in this. Talk about being on another level.
Wethepeople dropped this weeks Four Clip Friday BMX video for you to check out! This time around, Jordan Godwin puts in some heavy work at one of his local skateparks! Plenty of grinds to enjoy in this one.
You know you’re in for something good when Harry Mills-Wakley and his dreads come through with a new BMX video! Here’s his latest video for Eclat filled with dialed riding he’s been putting in work for, for the past half year or so. Definitely some amazing riding to see in this!
“Eclat’s Harry Mills-Wakley has been filming for this one since July 2015 and what was originally meant to be a few clips then turned into a 6 month belter, including a trip to Barcelona halfway through. Harry is well known for his mix of smooth peggery and predator skills and this has got all that and more.
