Colton Walker – The New Breed

Colton Walker: The New Breed – More BMX Videos

We have been talking about how incredibly dialed and good Colton Walker is for quite some time now and with every video that comes out from him we can’t believe the level of progression. Colton has been spending some time out in Southern California, away from his home in Minnesota, to film for this crazy new video that is packed full of banger after banger. We’re willing to bet the majority of these clips were filmed first go because that’s how much of a machine Colton is. Enjoy!

“Colton Walker just turned 18-years-old, but already rides like a true veteran of the sport. The way he is already pushing ramp riding while living substantially far from any sort of “training facility” is mind-blowing. The future is bright for Colton and this video is guaranteed to make you take notice of the new breed…

“Since the KL40 frames were retired back in 2010, we have been looking to fill the void and have a frame that is truly at home in the woods. We put the word out to our riders and by working with the fine folks at FBM, they handcrafted us this beauty in New York with options to suit even the saltiest of trail dogs. One rider that helped a ton with the input on this one was Tyson Jones-Peni and here he talks you through what trails and trail riding mean to him.
