This is pretty much the best thing you will see all day. Dan’s Comp sent Stew Johnson to meet up with Ben Hucke and his son, Levi, to talk about how much the kid has affected Ben’s life and how awesome he is. This is definitely awesome to see since it’s been kind of cool to see him grow up through photos and videos and see how stoked he is on BMX. If this doesn’t make you smile, something is wrong with you.
Wethepeople – Reason + Trust Complete Bike Tests
Wethepeople hooked up two locals with their new 2013 Reason and Trust completes to have them test of the bikes for a day. This video gives you a look at some of the riding they got in and a behind the scenes look at the photo shoot. Check back on Friday for our new Insight piece on these bikes which will include the photos from this session!
“The Trust and the Reason are both complete bikes from the Wethepeople 2013 collection.
We took them to meet to local riders Thomas Wegerhoff and Florian Koch and let them test the bikes in a warehouse. This is the result.”

A Day with Coco Zurita in Sanitago, Chile
Check out what it’s like to spend a day with Coco Zurita when he’s in his hometown of Santiago, Chile. Coco hits up a few street spots, his local park, does an interview for TV and hits up an Oakley store to pick up a few goods. Looks like a good day to me.
“Coco Zurita hails from the beautiful land of Chile, Santiago to be exact. Recently Coco was on a trip to his homeland to compete in the BMX portion of the Pro Games, so we took him away from the competition to get the grand tour of his hometown. Ride with Coco Zurita around Santiago, Chile in this Day With.” – Alli Sports
Jeremy “Zuka” Hacker Benefit Jam Edit
ESPN BMX dropped this edit from the Jeremy “Zuka” Hacker benefit jam. It looks like it was an awesome day filled with some real good riding and positive vibes. Plus, they raised a ton of money for Jeremy which is awesome as hell. Check out this video!
“This past weekend, I found myself in Arizona at my girlfriend’s parents house. Three hours away, in Phoenix, a jam was being held to raise funds for Jeremy ‘Zuka’ Hacker. Zuka was diagnosed with leukemia several weeks ago, and started chemotherapy treatment recently.
Through Facebook, I was able to find a rider from the town I was in, who had an open spot in his car and was willing to drive with a complete stranger to go and support Zuka. (He had never met Zuka either.) It might sound crazy, but that’s BMX. Zuka is the only rider I know to ride at his own cancer benefit while undergoing chemotherapy, and at the end of the day, around $5000 was raised for his medical bills.
Donations are being accepted for Hacker’s cancer fund through Paypal at 25nine (at) gmail dot com.” – Charlie Crumlish / ESPN BMX
