Imagine filming for an entire DVD and then having all of the clips just go kapoof? How bad would that blow? Either way, Pat Richert didn’t give up completely. He took what was left over and made this mixtape that’s loaded with some real solid riding for you to enjoy! Take a peek!

“filmed an entire video called “Make Offer” and our hard drive crashed. These are the only clips we had leftover. Sucks but its whatever.

BMX Economics: Cutback Rumor Mill

December 14, 2013

Edit: This graphic, which was a quick 5 minute photoshop job, has been a large focus for a lot of criticism lately… Sadly, more than the words. This graph is not accurate at all, and was simply just a form of showing that there are more and more knock off BMX brands popping up every day producing more and more products causing there to be more supply than demand. I don’t have numbers to verify, and I sure as shit know I wouldn’t deny it being inaccurate but there are no numbers to verify, just constant complaints about there being too many brands now days… It was just something to go with the text. Apologies to anyone who was offended by this. I’ll put a picture of my room mates dogs red rocket or something that has no relevance if something like this comes up again.

Well… I woke up this morning and came across a few interesting news pieces that have definitely re-opened up a lot of interesting questions in my mind that I brought up in the original BMX ECONOMICS piece I wrote up back in July. What are these interesting news pieces? Over the past three or so days, rumors that Diamondback, MirraCo (Let’s face it… Trek) and Redline would be making some big cuts in the next few weeks when 2014 rolls over. Let’s talk about it…

Inside The Bakery – Making Moves

December 14, 2013

Here’s the latest Inside The Bakery edit from Red Bull that has left me quite confused… This episode is based off a few months back when Brian went to Russia for a contest, but then talks about the lease agreement for the location going south… but the riding is from the new location… So I’m not sure if they’re talking about the old location or the new location that is having issues. Ah! So much confusion. Just watch the dialed riding in this.

“The Bakery heads to Russia to feed the BMX scene and to bring back winner of the Best Trick Contest, Andreev Kostya, to shred Chicago. The Bakery’s future gets shaken up when Brian hears some shocking news regarding the spot’s lease agreement. Tune in to see what the future holds for The Bakery and Brian’s BMX crew.”
