Product: Cult – 2.20″ / 2.40″ Tubes

June 16, 2015

Cult have just released their new tubes that are designed to fit the bigger tires that BMX have been using these days. Most BMX tubes are designed for smaller tires that stretch the rubber more and can make it easier to catch a pinch flat. Get the full scoop below! These tubes are out NOW!

“Todays tires are only getting bigger but the tubes have stayed the same thin sizes over time… Smaller thinner tubes work on bigger tires but thin out when fully inflated causing flat tires more occasionally… The CULT RUBBERS are specifically designed to fit bigger 2.20″/2.40″ tires therefore they dont stretch and thin out like most tubes on the market.“

Mercedes-Benz – BMX rider Dennis Enarson in “THE KID”

June 16, 2015

Well. Here’s a different style BMX bike we never expected to see, haha. Mecedes-Benz produced this video featuring Dennis Enarson where he gets some acting in (and he’s actually really good) and some riding as part of a promo they did for the X-Games! Take this all in. It’s pretty funny.

“As part of the Mercedes-Benz Style Profiles series, X-Games winner and BMX pro rider Dennis Enarson enters a style battle with Team USA Taekwondo Olympic Bronze medallist Paige McPherson. In the fictional short film directed by Ace Norton, Dennis plays a failing BMX champion who is doing cereal commercials to stay afloat. But a supernatural encounter in his Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe puts him back on track and lets him reclaim his former class and glory. Or is it all just a dream?
