The latest BMX Videos, Products and News!
Fly Bikes have released a brand new website to celebrate the new year and their new 2016 range of products being released. They have a new layout, completely updated pages with all of their latest complete bikes, frames and parts and an online store with closeout products, stickers and more. You can get a look at it all by visiting FlyBikes.com!
When we posted up The Most Expensive Custom BMX Bike? post earlier today, we got quite a few people stirring about more expensive parts or ways to make a bike more expensive. Then, Jon over at Can You Dig It pointed out that Zak Earley has a signature frame through a company called Reeb Cycles that is priced at… wait for it… $800. We had to get a look at it, but unfortunately there wasn’t much for photos other than Zak’s personal bike. But, there were full specs and details.
The ReeBMX frame is made from Tru Temper OX Platinum tubing (the same stuff Standard Bykes uses) with a 75-degree head tube angle, 69-degree seat tube angle, 11.6″ bottom bracket height, 10″ standover height and a 13.6″ chain stay length. You can find an integrated head tube, gussets on the top and down tubes, a MID bottom bracket and welded seat stay brake mounts. It’s available in colors of white, silver, black, green, blue and red with a weight of less than 5 lbs. (doesn’t say an exact number).
We’re not quite sure if any have sold, but we can imagine those margins for a $800 frame are pretty healthy considering a Standard frame with the same tubing and features goes for around $400. The only frame that comes to mind that is / was more expensive was the Titanium Eastern Grim Reaper frame. You can check out the frame right here.
We’ve seen a lot of Games of B-I-K-E over the years, but this is definitely a unique one. Scotty Cranmer cooked up the “Wheel of Misfortune” which adds to whatever trick the rider wants to do… Whether it’s a backwards fork, 25 PSI in the tires, shoes backwards or something else, it definitely makes this game pretty interesting. Check it out!
“So we decided to mix things up a little bit! A game of bike is awesome! But, what if you make a BMX wheel that spin with nails sticking out of the tires with a cardboard circle that has 10 different disabilities written on it that is built on a wooden stand and scrap parts from your garage? Then you have the Wheel Of Misfortune! We had so much fun filming this video and we were so happy with the way the game played out! I’m excited to do more of these!”
Colin Varanyak has had one hell of a year, and it looks like he had one last banger up his sleeve to finish the year strong. Check out this brand new Dan’s Comp BMX video where he absolutely crushes spots around Philly! Hit play and enjoy!
“East Coast assassin Colin Varanyak shuts down the streets of Philadelphia in the name of Dan’s Comp. If you haven’t caught on yet, Colin is one of the best street riders in the world. Watch and learn…

Did you get a look at Colin’s new signature Fiend Varanyak frame?
Last but not least… Volume Bikes caught up with DeMarcus Paul to talk about his section in the Volume One Mixtape that dropped a few weeks back. They talk about a ton of different aspects of the video to go along with some footage from the actual BMX video and then some unseen stuff that you haven’t seen. Hit play and enjoy!
After you watch this, go watch the full Volume One Mixtape!
“DeMarcus Paul sits down to answer some questions about his Volume 1 part with tons of extra clips, outtakes, b roll and LOL moments in the mix.
Filmed, Edited, & Directed by Mike Mastroni”
Yesterday we posted up The Most Expensive Complete BMX Bike which came in at $1,099.99 for a price tag. That got us thinking, what would be the most expensive BMX bike you could build if you took the most expensive parts from Dan’s Comp and compiled it into one bike… Well, we had a little free time so we decided to give it a whirl and you might be surprised on this one, haha. This is the most expensive custom built BMX bike we could compile as of December 24th, 2015. Let’s get to “shopping”!
2015 has been the year for some heavy progression when it comes to flips on a BMX bike. Jed Mildon did a Quadruple backflip, then Ryan Williams did a triple front flip… Now today we get to see the third* (not sure if that’s actually fact or not) rider, Brandon Schmidt, in the world pull a triple backflip. One thing all of these guys have in common? They’re all apart of the Nitro Circus crew. What’s even crazier is that Jed is the only one who rides BMX professionally, where the other two just do it for fun with their focus on other stuff. Either way, here’s a video giving you a look at Brandon putting in the work and landing the triple backflip.
A Shu Zhang hit us up with his latest BMX video from the streets of China for you guys to check out! This one starts out real painful, but once you get past that things get real good. Watch as A Shu puts in work on a ton of street spots and a local park where he cooks up some solid lines and grinds for you to check out!
