“OnPoint BMX proudly presents; Gritty Grinders. The Year and a half long project our Kansas City crew has been working on. It was amazing to see everyone step up and spend a lot of time and effort into making this, and the constant support through out the process of this was so motivating. Some clips were filmed in St. Louis, Iowa, and Springfield, MO; but mostly in Kansas City. Huge thanks to Peyshell and everyone else who helped filmed this.

A post shared by Corey Walsh (@walshcorey)

We’re a little late to posting this, but the other day Corey Walsh made an announcement on his Instagram coming out to the world that he is gay. Based on his post, it’s something he has been contemplating announcing for a while now, and we can only imagine the weight off his shoulders after getting such an amazing response from the BMX community. We’re stoked for Corey and glad he felt confident enough to let it all out to everyone, and the fact that it will likely help others that have been struggling with coming out as well. We can only imagine the struggle so many people battle with that haven’t felt that they could. Corey is and continues to be one of our favorite riders and this just adds to the amount of respect we have for him! Check out what Corey had to say above, then check out the DIG WEBSITE for more from Corey about this! Kyle Carlson over at Vital BMX also put up a post with some great words about this as well. Hell yeah, Corey!

Work BMX – Chase Bucci 2021

March 30, 2021

Chase Bucci is now doing it for Work Frames! Here’s a fresh edit to bring the news with a laidback vibe and a ton of great riding from spots around Pittsburgh! Hit play and take it all in!

“Four years ago, I moved to Pittsburgh, PA, from Huntington, WV, not knowing anyone in the BMX scene, not knowing any spots, and not knowing what to expect. I soon learned Pittsburgh has one of the most diverse scenes I have ever seen. From the parks and trails to the streets, you will find shredders wherever you go, dudes with full-time jobs just down for BMX. With a rad scene and an endless spot selection, it’s easy to get out and be productive.“

“Once I moved to Pittsburgh, I got a full-time job, so riding for companies like Daily Grind and now getting a chance to ride for Work BMX fits really well. I couldn’t be happier for those that support me! Shout out to Brad Gibbs for always holding it down on the filming missions and shout out to anyone that gets off work and goes and puts in the overtime on their bike! So excited for what’s to come.” – Chase Bucci
