Collective: Nick Bonner & Preston Levi

June 1, 2015

The Community Project released this rad new video featuring Nick Bonner and Preston Levi hitting spots all around Denver, Colorado. This video gives us some insight into the friendship between the two and a ton of riding clips that you know are worth checking out!

“In collaboration with Colorado’s finest, Pusher Bmx Shop, we are excited to bring you Collective. Bringing together two riders who represent that tight knit community we have in bmx Nic Bonner and Preston Levi share lines at the park and session street spots in the mile high city. I’ve been lucky enough to see Nic and Preston continue to kill it on a bike since the early days of the Jackson house. Both are native Denver locals who after many years reside in the same place again. Working with Pusher Bmx we set out to capture some of the huge list of tricks these two bring to the table. Neither Nic or Preston lack in bike skills or personality, and this edit shows a little of that. I don’t think I’m going to far to say these are two of my favorite riders to watch.” – The Community Project

Dustin Grice Video Bike Check

June 1, 2015

Dustin Grice just dropped a pretty interesting Video Bike Check up on his Youtube page for us to check out. About a year and a half ago, while he was at Adrenaline Alley, he built up a brand new bike. This bike check is interesting because it follows up a year and a half later at The Factory to show how well the bike has held up since. There are some guest appearances from Alex Coleborn and Mark Webb in this as well. Take a peek at the bike and some real solid riding in this BMX video!

“Join Dustin Grice & Alex Coleborn at Adrenaline Alley in Corby, England as they put together Dustin’s new bike featuring parts from Total BMX, Deco BMX, and Deluxe BMX. Talk about a dialed setup, 18 months later Dustin is still shredding the exact same bike back home at The Factory in Minneapolis, Minnesota. That’s right, not one part has changed.”
