It would appear that Chris Moeller caught everyones requests to see more of how BMX products are made. The other day he posted up a clip of how knurling is added to handlebars, now today we get a look at how they bend the tubing for an S&M Bikes or Fit Bike Co. fork. It seems pretty simple, but it’s still pretty interesting to see since we don’t always get to see the production side of BMX. We want MORE!!!
“Forkin’ A! @sandmbmx and @fitbikeco legs are made one at a time. This one by @jasonball75” – Chris Moeller
Here’s another section from the “Roc Bottom” BMX video for your viewing pleasure! This time around we get plenty of grind action and some team work from Ryan Cork and Nick Spath who share this section. Get a look at it!
“The Roc Bottom DVD concludes via a split with Ryan Cork and Nick Spath, who keep it fun and fast. Seatstand manuals, doubles lines, full speed wallrides and gaps, and a variety of pegless grinds make for an entertaining finish to the video. Check back soon for the credits section which will officially cap off DIG’s presentation of Roc Bottom.

The MPEG Crew coming through with a new promo for their ABD Wax that’s out now! Watch as Dan Kruk, Erik Elstran, Max Beljaeff, Taylor Thompson, Shane Balgaard, Jonah Koski, Matt Bartell, Jaya Brees, Jeff Klugiewicz, Dylan Kehoe, Julius Carrasquillo and Chance Garrison put the wax to good use on all sorts of rails and ledges!
“Mpeg ABD Wax has two different wax compounds: A hard curved side for rails, and a soft flat side for ledges. Each side of wax has been thoroughly tested to ensure proper lubrication while performing peg like maneuvers. Availible on instagram: @Mpegcrew and in many midwest skateparks and shops.” – Dan Kruk
Welp. It looks like the Harry Main sponsor changes weren’t quite done yet. Today he announced that he has parted ways with Monster Energy after seven years. No word on why or if Harry has something else lined up, but I’d be willing to bet that was a noticeable pay check to lose.
“No longer riding for Monster Energy. This year we have parted ways after 7 years together we are both doing separate things which is cool! Had such a sick time with these guys and unforgettable moments! Thanks for everything!”
We’re not too sure what’s so fascinating about jumping over a car is, but we remember parking an old rusty Ford Fiesta between a double and thinking it was a really good time jumping that. Scotty Cranmer and Cory Berglar decided to catch a little session on a loading dock before Scotty decided to tailwhip over his GTR to flat, which looks like a slightly painful, but good time to us! Take a look!
“So @CORYBERGLAR and myself, head out in my GT-R to find some street to ride around our area. We found an awesome loading dock set up and I made Cory try a tailwhip off for his first trick of the day! We both crashed a couple times but we also landed some stuff as well! Right before it started raining I decided to try and tailwhip my GT-R! I landed it first try without an insurance claim! We had an awesome time and i’m excited to do it again!”
With a title like that, you better believe this is one of those wild MUST SEE BMX videos! Monster Energy just dropped this banger of a video featuring Kevin Peraza absolutely destroying some of his local skateparks and spots! Stop reading and HIT PLAY!
“While most riders make the move to Southern California, Kevin is happiest at home in Tucson surrounded by family and friends. For the last year he has ridden his local spots, visualizing new lines and tricks on the familiar ramps. When it came time to put it on camera Kevin was unstoppable. Whether it was coming up with a way to create green fire, building a massive wall ride or pulling never been done tricks, when Kevin sets his mind to something he always gets what he wants.

Yesterday, Vital BMX released an Harry Main Interview that really fired people up. In fact, FBM and Ride UK have both chimed in on their perspectives on why Harry’s perspective is wrong and the direct to consumer route is not benefitting BMX, at least not in the correct way. I’ve been thinking about the subject quite a bit since I originally read Harry’s responses and I wasn’t really sure if I wanted to chime in. Honestly, going into this blog post I was originally just going to link to FBM and Ride UK and see if we could get any discussion going… Then I decided I might as well point out a few of my thoughts on the value of BMX shops and everything… Then it turned into a big long write up. So, let’s just get into this.
