It’s Friday and it’s been another busy week in BMX! As always, that also means that it’s time for Brant Moore‘s weekly episode of BMX News getting you caught up on all the best BMX videos, the latest news and more! Hit play for his recap up top, then check out everything he talks about in full down below!
Inspirational BMX Amputee – Bri Welch
Now this is really cool! Brant Moore released this documentary style video telling the story of Bri Welch is a not only a talented female rider, but she’s also an amputee! This video goes into her story a bit, along with a look at a custom shoe that will help her keep progressing and pushing things! It’s definitely amazing seeing somebody like Bri having a good time riding flatland! Check it out!
““I can wear these shoes & I can do ANYTHING!”
Bri Welch doesn’t let a missing leg stop her from riding BMX!
Bri’s Instagram – @brizy27
I saw Bri riding at the 2021 Nowear Cornhuckit event in Nebraska and immediately knew I wanted to tell some of her story through video. We did an interview that night and it just didn’t feel like enough. So over the months that followed Bri and her boyfriend Tony gathered video from the past as well as some new video to really bring things together.
We also were hoping to wait long enough to show a shoe that Vans was working on just for Bri. With the video of opening the new shoes then putting them on and riding in them, we get to the finished video you see today. As Kim Klisiak says in the video, Bri is an inspiration to us all and I hope that this video finds someone who may need it.
BMX is for EVERYONE!” – Brant Moore

Inside Profile Racing – Machining The Big Boss
It’s always interesting seeing how parts are made! Profile Racing have been putting out quick videos showing how they make cranks, hubs, stems and more at their factory down in Florida! Here’s a video where they show the steps of how they make the big boss on their cranks (the part the spindle slides into). Despite it being just one part of the crank, it’s more steps than you might think! Take a look.
“Our “Inside Profile Racing” series offers a quick glance into the very small parts that are often time consuming, that make up our components line.
In this episode, our machinist covers all the processes that go into our Crank’s Spindle Boss.
Thanks for your continued support of Profile Racing.” – Profile Racing
Lux BMX – Gnarcherfield Jam
The crew at Lux BMX down in Australia are always throwing some great events. They recently threw a jam at the Archerfield park, and despite weather that didn’t quite cooperate, it looks like it was another real good time! Check out the riding and fun that was had rain or shine!
“The Archerfield skatepark is in a sleepy industrial estate in Brisbane. The perfect place for a bunch of BMX riders to meet up and ride some DIY obstacles for the afternoon. Supported by Bellmott coffee and Wethepeople bike co. LUXBMX host’s Gnarcherfield jam, the rain tried to put a stop to it but we managed to push through and have a sick afternoon!
