March 13, 2012

We’re stoked to announce the first Through The Lens photo contest! We have teamed up with FIT BIKE CO. to hook up THREE photographers for their best photos! We’re looking for photographers from any level to submit their natural light BMX photos to our Facebook. Check out last weeks Through The Lens for examples and some tips on how to get the best results if you are wondering how to get it done.

Please submit any photos to our Facebook wall by March 30th at the latest! Also, all photos should be related to BMX.

Once you have your photos, head over to our FACEBOOK PAGE and “Like” us if you haven’t already (Almost 5,500 others have, why haven’t you yet?). Then upload your photo or photos to our wall for everyone to check out. On March 31st we will announce the TOP 3 photos! We will also drop a photogallery with the winners photos along with a number of the honorable mentions right here on the site.

First place will win Tom Dugan’s new signature Clubman Bars and a DL stem.
Second place will win a Crossfit Sprocket and some PC Pedals.
Third place will win the Blorry tee and the Block Insignia t-shirt.

So what are you waiting for? Get to work on uploading YOUR photos to the Facebook Page! These goodies from FIT are good as yours!

*Note: Please do NOT submit photos that you did not personally take. Stealing hard working peoples work is wrong and you know it.

Cranx Interview

March 13, 2012

Seriously can’t get over how incredible this place looks! I need to make it there. After you check out the video, head over to The Least Most to check out a few photos from the place as well.

“I spent a few minutes having Dale explain the new state of the art facility Cranx Bike Park here in Syracuse, NY. This place is absolutely insane and it’s impossible to compute the amount of work that went into getting this place up and operational. It’s here now, and it’s definitely going to be one of the best indoor skateparks you’ve ridden in your life.
