Mongoose at the Safehouse with Mykel Larrin and Ben Wallace

May 2, 2022

We’re pretty sure most BMX riders have dreamed of having their own indoor ramp setup to ride anytime. Well, Cody Hennings down in Texas has that, and he invited Mongoose‘s Mykel Larrin and Ben Wallace out for a session! Check out what these guys got into during their time riding this amazing ramp setup!

“It started with planned trip to Texas for the 3rd stop of the USA BMX Freestyle series – but then we got a DM from Cody Hennings. Cody is a local rider in the Dallas/Fort Worth area who also happens to own a private indoor ramp-filled warehouse called the Safehouse. We quickly took him up on his offer to check out Safehouse, and team Mongoose headlined by Mykel Larrin and Ben Wallace spent a full day riding this BMX utopia!” – Mongoose BMX

Owning A BMX Company In 2022 With Robbie Morales and Ronnie Bonner

May 2, 2022

Here’s an interesting video that Brant Moore put together during his time down in Florida for Swampfest a few weeks back. He caught up with Ronnie Bonner (Owner of The Shadow Conspiracy, Subrosa, Sparky’s, Rant) and Robbie Morales (Cult) to talk a little bit about what it’s like owning a BMX company in 2022 with this wild ride that has been going on thanks to COVID disrupting the supply chain. It’s interesting to get the take of what’s different now and how they’re working on navigating it, along with plenty of other insights. Hit play and take a look!

“As soon as I saw Robbie Morales and Ronnie Bonner hanging out at Swampfest, I knew I had to ask them the Asking BMX Icons questions. During that I realized this could be an awesome opportunity to talk to guys who have worked at and own some of the biggest and most legendary brands in all of BMX. What better topic to talk about that what it’s like to be the owner of a BMX company in 2022. Ronnie and Robbie were both awesome and open and I’m happy to make this my last interview video from Swampfest 2022! Until next year!!” – Brant Moore

Nathan Williams “Why Not?”

May 2, 2022

The Nathan Williams “Why Not?” video is now on Youtube!

Back in 2020 Nathan Williams and Christian Rigal released their “Why Not?” video on Gumroad after spending 3 years funding their own trips for the video. The end result was just under 10 minutes of absolute BANGERS from Nathan and excellent film work from Christian. This video was available for $4 as a digital download (and still is), but now it’s on Youtube in all of its glory for your viewing pleasure! Hit play because this is one video that is an absolute MUST SEE!

“Nathan Williams ‘Why Not?’ video part is an independent project with Christian Rigal behind the lens. With no deadline in sight the goal was to take some time, make something special and try something different, why not? Filmed entirely in 4k/5k resolution from California to Texas, this part is just under 9 minutes of insanity that will leave you wondering what you just saw, and if it was switch?” – Our BMX
