Markit BMX – New Years Jam at Dennis Enarson’s

January 4, 2015

To start the year off right, the Markit crew threw a jam at Dennis Enarson’s backyard ramp setup and opened it up for riders to swing out and have a good time! Check out some highlights from the day right here!

“Rain put a hold on the jam on New Year’s Eve, but the Markit boys kicked it off yesterday afternoon. Random prizes at the end of the day and mini events beforehand to keep the people happy, it was a damn fun time with a solid mix of pros and kids just psyched to get the chance to ride Dennis’ house. Big Daddy ended up taking the overall award for the day. Cody won the 270 challenge. Nipple took the satellite challenge. And I believe it was a split between Big Daddy and someone else on the Euro. This should be a yearly event…yeah?” – Ride BMX

odyssey-galaxy-purple-tripod-saddle-750x500

Over the years, BMX has seen A LOT of color. We’ve seen bright neon colors, completely blacked out, shiny, oil slick, tie dye, camouflage, Rasta and dozens of other combos pop up over the years and thanks to the creative aspect of BMX, there will never be a shortage of new and unique options popping up! If you have been on Instagram lately, there’s no denying that there’s a new option that became available a few weeks back that has been taking BMX by storm, the space themed colorway known as “Galaxy” to Odyssey or “Celestial” to Madera. We figured it would be cool to take a closer look at Odyssey’s option found on their Monogram Tripod and Pivotal seat and Twisted PC pedals!

Kevin Nikulski – Planless in Bordeaux

January 3, 2015

Here’s a rad one we spotted over on Flat Matters of Kevin Nikulski getting some riding time in during his trip to Bordeaux a few months back! Kevin comes through with some great riding and that ender is rough, haha.

“Back in October we followed Kevin on a trip to Bordeaux, France for the Vibrations Urbaines contest. It was a rather spontaneous mission (a bit “planless”) and turned out to be an awesome trip. Bordeaux is a beautiful city with cool flatland spots. We filmed most of this edit at the promenade of the Garonne river which runs through the city. To make this October weekend perfect Kevin even managed to win the contest which had to be celebrated properly! Enjoy the Nikulski show!
