Camera Lens Smashing
Alexander Thorogood went through something every filmer that gets nice and close fears every time they hit record. Recently, he got a little too close and had a peg smash through the camera lens. Take a look at this quick clip to see just how it looks when a BMX bike fights back.

Kink – One Hit Wednesday: Tony Hamlin Round 2
Filming for a video and BMX in general can be frustrating as hell when things don’t go to plan. Sometimes you lose it and things really hit the fan like the time Tony let his bike fly and in a freak chain of events broke the camera and almost took out the flash. Talk about a bad day.
“Tony is pretty notorious for losing his temper while filming. He puts a lot of pressure on himself to do crazy shit, and when we’re filming for big projects like “Squash It”, it’s even more extreme. Tony was trying this bar manual to feeble switch whip for some time while we were visiting Seoul, South Korea. It was super cold out and also really windy, two factors that you don’t need in your life for barspin to manual lines. Eventually he lost it and sent his bike into this ledge, but since the front of the ledge was banked, the bike went flying, directly into Darryl’s LCD screen. Keep it together, Tony. ”

Insight: Merritt – Tension Hub Guard
Merritt have just released a handful of new products in their latest shipment. We’ve seen new stems, tires, sprockets and one item in particular that really caught our eye, the Tension hub guard. This guard is designed to be a universal hub guard that can be easily attached to the spokes by using a single spring clip that holds the guard in place with tension. This guard, similar to the original G-Sport G.L.A.N.D hub guard that uses zip ties to hold it to the spokes, is made from plastic with a 3″ diameter and slides over your existing hardware (non-drive). The guard has little blocks that fit between the spokes and the spring goes on using the blocks as guides to hold everything together. The Tension hub guard is available in black only with a weight of 0.9 oz. and is currently available through all shops and mail-orders that carry Merritt worldwide now.
