“Guilty” Promo

February 4, 2021

You can always count on the crew out in New Jersey to deliver! Here’s a promo for a new full-length video called “Guilty” that Ralphy Rodrigues is putting together. It sounds like they have been filming for it, but are putting in work the rest of the year to wrap it up! Here’s a 4 minute promo giving us a taste of what’s to come! If you’re looking for heat from the streets, this should get you stoked!

“This is a promo video for a full length video we will be working on in 2021 that will be released at the end of this year. We are a group of friends with intentions of putting out a full length video that’s a little different than what has been put out over the past few years. Although the main focus is showcasing great riding, we want to show the viewer what it’s like to be apart of our crew through a day in the life type feel and how much fun we all had putting this video together. Hopefully encouraging others to go out and work on a project of their own and realizing it’s not always about getting the craziest clip. This video was filmed and edited by Ralphy Rodrigues and features riding by Anthony Catlow, Justin Seiller, Willem Jorgensen and Zach Henderson.” — Anthony Catlow

Nowear – Cornhuckit BMX Jam 2020 Highlights

February 4, 2021

We were wondering if we would see footage from this one or not. Last year was tough for BMX contests, but the annual Nowear Cornhuckit Jam still managed to go down out in Nebraska at the Nowear compound! Here is a highlight video from the weekend of fun and good times from the ramps to the trails, flatland sessions and more. As expected, there was a good turn out and a ton of great riding that went down. Take a look! You wouldn’t even now there was a global pandemic going on watching this.

“The Nowear Compound:

Located smack dab in the middle of the country just 20 minutes off interstate I-80.

Open year round free for any riders to enjoy.

All wheels welcome!

Billy Perry – Brazil BMX Trip

February 3, 2021

Travel is still pretty tough these days, but there are still riders out there finding ways to travel. Billy Perry and a few friends decided to load up for a trip down to Brazil to cruise the spots, take in the sights and hang out with the locals. Here’s a video Billy put together giving us a look at what they got into during the first part of their trip. Hopefully it won’t be long before we start seeing more travel from other riders!

“We took a flight to Brazil and the first 2 days were amazing! We rode the biggest skatepark in São Paulo, rode through the city and got a tour of the DRB bicycle manufacturing warehouse. Stay tuned for the next few episodes in Brazil!

Sneak Peek: Wethepeople – U.S.A Made Capital Frame

February 2, 2021

Take a sneak peek look at The Capital frame from Wethepeople.

Here’s an interesting bit of news we didn’t see coming. Wethepeople have announced that they plan to release a frame made in the U.S.A later this year. The frame that they’ve named The Capital will be made by Ben Smith at WHTHOUS in Montana is currently being tested by the team is still a little ways out, but they’ve released specs and details for you to check out.

The Capital frame is made from 4130 chromoly tubing with a 75.5-degree head tube angle, 71-degree seat tube angle, 11.7″ bottom bracket height, 9″ standover height and a 12.75″ chainstay length. It will have a 127mm integrated head tube with internal and external machining, thicker tubing on the top and down tubes to help resist denting, a box style gusset on the down tube and a larger top place gusset on the top tube for increased strength, an integrated seat tube, Mid bottom bracket that is internally and externally machined, custom ovalized chain stays for increased tire and sprocket clearance, tapered seat stays and straight gauge chain stays, and 1/4″ thick laser cut, heat-treated drop outs.

The Capital frame will be brakeless, and since it’s still a prototype, some of the specs could change between now and the production run.

No word on colors, but it does look like it will come in 20.75″ and 21″ top tube lengths, with other sizes possibly available.

We’re not sure about price, but we would imagine with it being a limited run made in the U.S.A, the price will likely be $400+.

You can learn more about the frame and check out a few more photos over on the Wethepeople website!
