Here’s some news that some of you might have figured out already. Devon Smillie is no longer riding for Eclat. We’re not sure what happened or when, but Devon’s no longer riding their parts and isn’t listed on the Eclat website anymore. What we do know is Devon has decided to go all in on riding for Flybikes where he already has his signature Fuego line with a frame, bars, seat, grips and tires. Above is a look at his new setup which is 100% Flybikes from top to bottom, including the new Magneto cassette hub. This also includes a sneak peek look at his new frame colorway for 2021 that’ll be out in a few months as well!

What do you think about the news? What do you think about Devon’s new bike? Let us know what you’re thinking in the comments below!

GT Bicycles – Dan Conway 2020 Video

October 29, 2020

Oh yeah, you can always count on Dan Conway to deliver with the goods! Here’s a new one GT Bicycles just dropped packed with heat from street, park and pool sessions Dan has been getting in over the past year or so! Big grinds, amazing amounts of fufanu’s and abubaca’s (hell yeah, brakes!) and more! This is over 5 minutes of pure BMX gold you won’t want to miss! Check it out!

“Holy hell! Dan Conway coming at you with an over the top street onslaught. This five minute tour de force has it all—from cutty, tech, deadman, and everything in between. Conway truly is one sick mutha f_cker. Hit play and get ready to be blown away.

X Games – The Best of Chad Kerley

October 29, 2020

The X Games dug into their archives of footage and compiled 22 minutes of Chad Kerley‘s best runs from different X Games contests from Los Angeles to Austin, Minneapolis and Shanghai. This spans the course of 7 years, which is pretty wild to think about how fast time flies! This has a ton of great riding worth checking out, and it’s pretty cool to see how much Chad has progressed over the years. That and a look at all the different street courses over that time as well!

“It’s hard to believe, but BMX rider #ChadKerley has been competing at X Games since 2012. And in that time, Chad has amassed 6 medals in BMX Street, including one silver from #RealBMX in 2017. But the medal count isn’t what’s important here: Chad’s progression is what we wanted to look at. From 2012 to the present, Chad has steadily switched it up, from cassette to freecoaster, from hang 5 combos to unreal nose wheelies. And we’re been lucky to watch it all happen. Assembled here are highlights from Chad’s #XGames career, including gold medal wins and international previews from Shanghai 2019. Thanks for consistently bringing it Chad!” – X Games

BMX The Game – Halloween Update

October 29, 2020

The updates for BMX The Game have been rolling out more frequently, and it looks like they have just released a new update with a few new tricks like roll backs and can cans, some changes to the physics and game play, and even some Halloween goodies that are temporarily available. Take a peek at the updates above, then some words down below.

“Hi Riders,

We hope you’ve enjoyed the latest Major Update, with everything we’ve added and improved…

Well now, almost two weeks later we bring you a patch that we were very excited to share, Halloween Update, with a discount for 4 days. We’ve made a lot of improvements to physics, the longed-for rollback, and the first iteration of can can, fixed absorption on drops, and removed delay on impact, in addition to removing the feeling of slow-mo. Several changes have also been implemented that improve performance and we have themed content for Halloween, temporarily available. New featured park, special clothes, room decoration, and some more surprises.

We started working on the new updates that will be released soon, but we want to thank you for all the supportive comments you have given us. Also thank all those who are rating us on Steam to help the team and development, which motivates us to continue working to the fullest.

Thank you very much for everything and we hope that soon we can bring new improvements to the core physics, gameplay and more updates. Now, enjoy it!” – BMX The Game

Flybikes – Sem Kok “Encore”

October 29, 2020

We’re always stoked to check out some fresh Sem Kok footage! Here’s a short but sweet one from Flybikes featuring Sem getting some laps in at the Dirt E19 trails! No music, just the sweet sounds of the new Flybikes Magneto hub and Ruben tires! Needless to say, Sem brings the style and we’re really digging the film work on this one. Take a look!

“One of the best things is just being out in the woods flowing through a set of dialed trails. No scooters to cut you off midline, no security to kick you out. Just the sound of your tires and cassette, and plenty of fun. Here’s a new one featuring Sem Kok getting some time in at the Dirt E19 trails with the sound of our new Magneto hubs buzzing along. As always, Sem brings the style making for a great watch! Enjoy!

Team Dilly Has A Mortgage

October 28, 2020

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a Team Dilly video, but everyone is old with jobs and mortgages and what not. Erik Elstran and Mike Gelle dug into the archives to put together this mix of old footage that never found a home. This has a ton of great riding, good vibes and no shortage of laughs. It’s been forever since I’ve personally seen a bunch of these guys and I’m an hour away from a lot of them. Adulting sucks. Riding from Erik, Mike, Ben Austin, Landon Anderson, Seth Peterson, Cody Smiglewski, Seth Smiglewski, Rahlin Rigsby, Deljon Willis, Bink Seavey and more! Don’t pass this up!
