Mike Porter – 40-4-40

October 7, 2015

When old man Mike Porter sends through a new BMX video, you know you’re in for something good. Mike just rolled over the big 4-0 and to celebrate he hit the Gnar Barn down in Iowa to pull 40 different tricks for this new edit. The tricks might not all be that crazy or difficult, but we’re willing to bet you would have a hard time playing him in a game of B-I-K-E since he could literally go 10 rounds without doing the same trick twice. Take a look!

“No Bangers just 40 different tricks- mostly old school, all with brakes, all at the same place, and a big ass grumpy old man smile on my face. Rock the Night”

Baco-A-Go-Go 2015 Highlights

October 7, 2015

Check out the Baco-A-Go-Go 2015 Crash Compilation

When the Baco crew throw a contest, you can count on a number of things like crazy riding, good people, good times and probably some fire, male nudity and chaos.
The crew made their voyage back to the Neighborhood Skatepark in Warrens, Wisconsin at Jellystone Campground for another round over the weekend and riders from all over the Midwest (and even Portland, Oregon) joined in for the good times.
There was A LOT to see on and off the bikes and there’s no denying that everyone who made the trip out for the jam had a damn good time.
Between the Box Jump contest, Pro contest, Glenn Salyers Best Trick and the Front Brake Brethren Jam, we ended up with a bunch of footage. Instead of making some sort of fancy edit with non-riding footage, scenic shots and some of the extras that might make a BMX video look real good, we decided to cut to the chase and drop a video with banger after banger after banger of riding. Hit play and see just what went down!

Song 1: John Deley and the 41 Players – Thud

Cluut X Orange Juice Street Jam 2015

October 7, 2015

Now THIS is what we call a good time! The Cluut crew and Orange Juice crew teamed up for a big street jam over in Belgium. Here’s a video that’s packed full of crashes, crazy riding, a bunch of talking we don’t understand, more crazy riding and one hell of an after party. Bonus points for having the old school hype man… That guy needs to be at every street jam! Hit play on this BMX video, you won’t be disappointed!

“Last year the CLUUT x Orange Juice Street Jam was cancelled due to the bad weather. This year the weather was perfect and more than 160 riders came to Brussels, Belgium and joined the wild session.

Shout out to Flouz for capturing what went down that day.

Also thanks to Grounded BMX and Vans for supporting the jam.”

Fit Bike Co. – Dan Conway 2016 Signature Complete Bikes

October 7, 2015

Haha, now this is awesome. Did you know when you buy one of Dan Conway‘s signature complete bikes from Fit Bike Co., Dan will show up and put your bike together for you and then proceed to grind the shit out of it? Well, we don’t know if he will actually show up, but on the bright side, it’s probably a good thing because it might be a little scary having the beast let loose in your garage. What we do know is that his signature completes are built to take some heavy riding. Check the video then go pick one of those dialed BMX bikes up!
