The Gangbang Bikes crew sent through their BMX video for this years Bangers video contest that Freedom BMX put on. The Gangbang crew took third place and you better believe it took quite a bit to land that spot. This has some real solid riding on a bunch of different street spots from rails to ledges that the crew put all of their pegs to heavy use on. Check it!

Riding chainless is one of those things that just doesn’t always make a lot of sense. Chainless on street makes no sense. However, when you are at a skatepark like Transgression that is designed to flow from obstacle to obstacle without really having to pedal, it works out alright. Charlie Robinson recently caught a session at the park and for one reason or another didn’t have a chain, but that didn’t keep him from having a good time. Check out a bunch of dialed clips he cooked up during his session.
“Charlie had vanished for a while, and lately landed a new job and got a bike again, insistsed we filmed an edit.
Here is a CHAIN-LESS session at transgression park not bad for being out the game for a year or so.

Here’s a little lesson for you guys that didn’t know there are two kinds of chrome plating for BMX products (and most products that have chrome on them around the world), both of which aren’t really all that good for the environment or people working with it. Head over to The Merged to check out a rad write up that Yakob Swyer did talking about the less than glamorous side of chrome plating. Yakob talks about the two types of chrome, which one is “better” and what kind of environmental and health dangers there are involved in it. Really good insight and well worth the read! — Read why Chrome Ain’t Cool here!
It’s crazy how footage can go lost for so long… Andrew Schubert came across this BMX video featuring Isaac Barnes that was put together back in 2012, but didn’t find its way online until now! Isaac is a serious beast and this section is a clear reminder of that as he puts all four of his pegs to heavy use on every rail and ledge he came across!
Michal Smelko had a bunch of leftover clips from the “Stay Out Here” video that Fernando Gomarín Olaiz produced over the course of 2014 and 2015 from some time they spent filming in Los Angeles and Barcelona. Instead of letting the clips go to waste, this dialed BMX video came from the clips and we’re sure glad these didn’t go unseen. Hit play and watch Michal go to work!

Going into Interbike 2015, one thing we expected to see was brands coming up with their own version of portable rail to compete with the Subrosa Street Rail that was the only rail available and clearly selling quite well based off it making appearances all over the world…. But we didn’t see anything except a rail at the S&M Bikes suite that we assumed was just a Subrosa Street Rail somebody had brought along for good times… Turns out we should have been paying closer attention because it was a sample of the “Slide Pipe” that will be avaialble some time this month. The Slide Pipe is made right here in the U.S.A in the S&M Bikes warehouse with zinc tubing and is fully adjustable. It comes in at 8′ long with a 2.25″ diameter for the tubing and hinged legs to allow it to be set up on up and down ledges and stairs while keeping the legs flat. The legs also offer multiple heights from 12″ up to 21″ and the feet have a rubber base to keep it from slipping as well.
The rail will be available for $279.95 direct from the S&M Bikes webstore and BMX shops and mail-orders that carry S&M Bikes worldwide later this month. It sounds like they will also be offering some additional enhancements to offer a few other setup options as well further down the road.
