Chris Whyte Bike Check

August 9, 2015

A little while back, Division Brand announced that they would be expanding their product range from a few parts to a full blown line from complete bikes to frames, parts and more. Since then, we really haven’t heard much on the expansion, but based off the bike check with Chris Whyte that they just released, it would appear they have been making a ton of progress. Head over to the Division Brand website to check out Chris’ Bike Check giving you a closer look at a prototype of the first Division Brand frame, The Lanark, along with a few other prototypes like their Tactic front hub! We’re real curious to see just what else they have been cooking up down in Australia! Check out the bike check RIGHT HERE!

August 8, 2015

Empire BMX dropped a trailer for a full-length video featuring some of the younger crew coming up in Texas called “Diadem”! This video features a lot of guys you probably haven’t heard of, but based off the trailer it looks like the video will kick a lot of ass and have a pretty laid buck, not so serious vibe. Hit play and if you’re in the Austin, Texas area plan on checking the premiere next Sunday!

““Diadem” = The next generation of central Texas BMXers, in search of a new destiny beyond their backyards, taking you back to when the only question was: “what nonsense can we get into today?”
Riders include:
Blake Wright
Colby Moody
Michael Bowen
Tyler Owen
Mike Elias
Shim Medrano
Bobby Blaine
David Reneau
Michael Woodby
Austin Brunger
Tayson Replogle
and more…
Filmed/ Edited Jeremie Infelise

Austin/Central TX has a long and rich history of BMX. When presented with their positive attitudes and 100% commitment to shredding any and all forms of terrain, the decision to facilitate a full-length DVD documentation of the next generation’s adventures was a no-brainer for us. These young guns are the embodiment of what we think is best about BMX: searching for dope spots, putting tires, pegs, and pedals on obstacles in creative and fun ways, and most importantly, doing it all with a smile on your face with your crew. Shouts to Cabbage Crew, Gnarnia BMX, and Jeremie Infelise for making it all happen!
Video premiere: Sunday August 16 at 9pm behind Empire BMX. Free popcorn for all | BYOB” – EMPIRE BMX
