It looks like Terry Adams is now doing it for Profile Racing! I’d imagine we’ll be seeing him putting one the Z-Coasters to heavy use shortly!
Product: Cult – 2.20″ / 2.40″ Tubes
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”
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?

Robin Kachfi and a few friends took a road trip to the Netherlands where they spent some time riding The Promise Skatepark in Heerlen. They pulled out the camera and stacked a few clips during their visit and ended up with this short but sweet BMX video for you to check out!
