Product: Kids Complete BMX Bike Guide

April 3, 2015

Over the past few years, BMX brands have really started putting some attention towards creating some quality complete bikes for the young guns that have really pushed the level of riding that we see from the kids that are 4-12 years old. Not to say that 12″, 16″ and 18″ bikes weren’t a thing before that, but there really wasn’t that much emphasis on it and the quality or options weren’t exactly that beneficial for actually doing tricks and progressing.
It’s pretty easy to see that these bikes have been awesome because we have seen some insane progression from the kids lately and it seems like every day we see a new video that just blows our mind. We got looking around at all of the options that are available these days and it’s pretty amazing what is currently available in the 2015 and now 2016 complete bike ranges that are available or soon to be released.
We decided to compile a handful of the best options that are out there for those of you who are looking to get your kid into BMX. I mean, let’s be real, who doesn’t want their kid riding the skatepark, trails or even street with them on a bike that doesn’t suck? Let’s take a look!

On the Horizon: Ipath

August 20, 2012

Photo: Andrew White

Over the years, Ipath has had a lingering presence in BMX. They’ve always hovered off to the side, doing their thing and creating some dialed shoes. It wasn’t until they brought on Brian Osborne that they started really putting the brand out there in BMX. When Brian joined the crew at Ipath, he brought along a few friends to kick some life back into the team; those friends would be Van Homan, Shane Weston, Seth Kimbrough and Alex Magallan. With the a new team all dialed in and the release of their fresh Fall / Winter 2012 line, I figured it was time to get Brian to answer some questions about his role with the company, the team, the brand as a whole and what they have cooking these days. Let’s see what he had to say!

Tim Knoll Interview

May 30, 2010

Alright, flash back time. About 5 or so years ago when there was a demo at the mall here where I’m from being put on by DK that featured Tim, Vinnie Vasquez, Ron Thomas (I think), and Quinn Semling. Regardless, Tim was super dialed and fun to watch ride. I ended up chilling there all day with the guys and ended up talking to them and what not. But yeah, so fast forward a few years and I ended up keeping contact with Tim here and there. Then, last winter during BACO in Milwaukee, there was an after party at a bar and sure enough Tim was at the door. It was rad to catch up with him a bit and everything. Fast forward a bit more and a few days ago Tim had a real dialed edit drop that people were psyched on! I decided it was well overdue to get him some questions. Check out what he has to say, some photos, and that real good edit, then leave him some love in the comments!

300,000 Visitors and Funny Keywords

March 7, 2009

It’s been a busy week, but BMXuninon hit 300,000 visitors the other day. I thought I would put together a special little blog about what it took to get there, along with a whole bunch of really interesting keywords of how people got to the site that I compiled. Keep on reading if you are into some “LOL Material”.

In these 300,000 visitors, there has been 181 interviews, 22 reviews, 13 On the Horizons, and a few other random things that have culminated into 600 pages.

I just wanted to say thank you again to all the people who did interviews, the companies that wanted to do projects with me, the guys like Todd, Alex, and Brett who have helped out over the last year and a half of this site. I look forward to the next 300,000 visitors and I am excited to see where things go with time!

Rich Hirsch Interview

May 28, 2008

Rich Hirsch is a interesting dude. He has some really interesting insights on things and I feel like he has had some influence on what BMX is today through his brands and other things he has been associated with. This was an interview that was long over due, and due to him being laid out from some back surgery I managed to get one out of him. Lets see some love for Rich in the comments.

Name:
richie hirsch

Location:
portland,or

Sponsors:
subrosa, mosh

Years Riding:
20 off and on

Lets kick it off with the back surgery, why did you get it, how did it go, and when will you be back on your bike?
I ruptured a disc in my back Christmas day and didnt actually know until about a month ago. I had so much pain it got to where I could barely walk and it took 4 different doctors and 5 months before I could get an MRI which led to a surgery I just had.I think it went all good and i might be able to cruise around as soon as 6 weeks…stoked.

What are you going to be doing with all the down time from riding? I imagine a lot of blogging on Defgrip?
I doubt it I’m not much of a blogger… I tend to update it just enough to scrape by, and im not doing much other then taking pills and watching tv lately. I’m working on lotek and Fremont all the time though while I’m stuck sitting around.

Right before you went under the knife you had a prototype of your new frame in a bike check, what is the difference between your frame and all the rest and when can we expect to see it available?
Basically I like the roomy feeling of long bikes but the quickness of short bikes so I changed the geometry around in a way I don’t think is currently available and it feels perfect. The designer over at subrosa then took my geometry and applied some crazy new shit to it that they will explain(soon) way better then I could. Change is always fun. It also has a low top tube which I’ve always loved… I grew up riding basic sluggos which had super low top tubes and made turndowns table tops and a lot of 180 tricks feel better on my shins.

Any other Subrosa news or signature items coming from them?
I don’t think so… I actually thought they were only making one of my frame for me to ride so I’m pretty stoked to hear it just went to production.

How about things at Lotek, any new product lines or news going around over there you can let us in on?
There’s a lot right now, here’s a list of what’s in progress:
Lotek sf DVD
Defgrip shoe
Fremont videozine
Chase fremont jeans
Dakpack
Fremont ian shoe
Dehart shoe
Fremont snap back baseball caps
Behind the scenes lotek sf videos on vimby.com
Custom made insoles
New shoe colors coming late July
Thats all I can remember right now

What about Mosh any other big news or signature things coming around?
I don’t think so… I changed my mosh seat up a little and I’m waiting for a sample but nothing much. Mosh just went on an Australia trip the same day I got surgery.

Being a busy guy with a business and everything have you been finding much time to ride?
When my backs good I ride most everyday for at least a few hours… Thats what its all for really.

Where are some places you have had the chance to travel to this year?
Nowhere to crazy just back and forth from California a fair bit. When my backs better I’m going to Columbia with mikey and then over to the 70s house in Brighton and then Prague for a lotek team trip.

Where are some of your favorite places to ride or just types of things to ride?
I really like riding anything, driveway bank, dirt jumps, flat bars, etc. Burnside is my favorite though.

Any big road trips planned at all for filming video parts or web edits?
Just a lot of SF and the above mentioned.

What is a recent new trick you have added to the list?
Walking

Believe it or not Rich cannot do what trick?
Run

What is the best and worst parts of owning your own business?
The best part us being able to pay the bills doing what I love, working with my friends. There’s no negative part.

How do you feel about BMX right now with it being in the olympics, getting cut down in the x-games, being on tv a bunch, everything online, people hating, everything in general?
None of that has anything to do with BMX in by world. We ride and hangout and there isn’t ever any negativity in anyone I ride with, work with, or meet so shits good. People only hate when there jelous and i think we can agree there’s no need for any of that in BMX.

If you could change anything about BMX what would you change and why?
It would be nice if we were allowed into all the parks.there’s a park a few blocks from my house I’m not allowed to ride.

Who are some of the most influential people in BMX in your eyes?
Chris moeller is the originator. He created the blueprint we all follow. Other then that anyone that does there own thing.

Outside of BMX and work, what are some things you are into?
I listen to a lot of music and shoot a fair bit of photos.

What are some things you would like to accomplish in the next few years?
Keep staying alive and raise my son.

If you could have any super power, what would you choose and why?
Im good.

What is the “perfect day” for you?
Some tasty waves and a cool buzz and I’m fine man.

If you could have 3 wishes granted, what would you choose and why?
Never have to get a real job
A old ass car that never breaks down
Popeyes for every meal without a heart attak

What are some bands you are really into? Any you suggest people to check out?
Sub society
Greyboy
Duna
The grouch
Roy ayers
Sebastien tellier
The kinks
New order
Husulah
Little brother
Mac dee

Any videos/movies you are into right now?
Zeitgeist
Dead bang
Goods s.o.s.

You seem to be on-top of the trends, what is the next big trends in BMX?
I don’t really mess with trends… I think a lot of the dudes I hook up are pretty popular. The only trend I’m trying to keep around is affordable shoes and having fun.

What are some of your favorite websites?
Not a big fan of the Internet.

What is the best advice / quote you have ever received?
My Dad always told me its better to shine then reflect.

What do you think you would be doing if you never got into BMX?
It wouldn’t have been good. Probably Meth with its popularity around here.

What kind of advice do you have for people who want to start their own business?
You won’t ever be happy if money is your motivation. Find something you love and stick with it, or don’t, fuck it…. Just have fun.

What about kids just getting into BMX?
Get dirty, its fun.

Any kind words to the anonymous shit talkers?
Let’s go ride sometime…

Do you have any shout outs or thanks?
My dad, lori, Kingston, Joel gurga, ron bonner, Heath Pinter, Ryan sher, ron bonner, robbo, shad, eddie, chase, ian, mikey, marco, wolfdick, ian Morris, blackrain, odyssey dudes, Harrison, all my distro, all the lotek family, everyone who has ever bought a pair.

Anything else you would like to say?
Its just a hobby have fun with it…

Oh yes, Rich’s Odyssey part from 2003.
