These tires, based on Subrosa’s popular Street Digger tires, have a super round tread design that wraps around to the sidewalls to give you extra protection while grinding and more grip while carving heavy. The soft and grippy rubber compound and unique tread pattern has micro-knurling throughout that makes for a great all around tire on everything from wood and cement parks to the streets.

Josh Clemens – Self-Filmed In Montana

October 21, 2020

This year has been a rough one for everyone, and it’s been tricky keeping distance or dealing with natural disasters, especially after all this time. Josh Clemens decided it was time to take a solo road trip to do some social distancing, while riding some amazing parks and taking in some of the sights that Montana has to offer. Here’s a video he self-filmed loaded with real solid riding and a look at what he got into off his bike as well. It’s safe to say this was a much needed trip that was worth it!

Weird & Revered In Israel

October 21, 2020

The Weird & Revered crew clocked a ton of miles while working on their “Vagabond Squad Video that was released online this past summer. While filming they traveled a ton and one of their trips took them to Israel to cruise the endless spots, along with take in the sights and culture. The best clips from the trip made it into the “Vagabond Squad” DVD, but they still had a ton of other footage that needed a home, so they whipped up this video loaded with goodness. Take a peek!

“In February 2019, Thomas Henderson, Justin Schwanke, and Jesse Baraniuk of the Weird & Revered BMX crew travelled from Canada to Israel to film for their full-length DVD project, Vagabond Squad. The trio road tripped around the country with stops in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Be’er Sheva, Eilat, and the Dead Sea. They also travelled by bicycle into Bethlehem, crossing the Israeli / Palestinian border in between. This short web video is a collection of footage that didn’t make the cut for their DVD.” – DIG

Lucas Paneitz – Ciclovia

October 21, 2020

It’s always rad getting a video sent in from a rider who we haven’t heard from or seen anything from in quite some time. Lucas Panietz down in Brazil sent through his latest BMX video that ended up being 3 years in the making! This video has a pretty chill vibe, but the riding is real good, the spots are solid and the filming is clean. You can’t go wrong with that combo! It’s safe to say Lucas is still crushing it, so we’re stoked on that. Take a look!

“It’s been awhile since a started filming for this project, the first idea was to do something short, looking for a tricks I really wanted to do and in the right spots
After three years recording these clips, meet new people and new spots everyday, pushing myself to the limit to get the best clips possible, I introduced to you guys CICLOVIA

Heartfelt thanks to everyone who took part in this journey!

A Look At How BMX Frames Have Changed In 15 Years

October 20, 2020

With how dialed BMX bikes have become over the years, it’s pretty crazy to look back and see just how much BMX frames have changed over the years. Mike Fede decided to dig into his stash of old frames spanning the past 15 years to look at just how much they have changed over the years from bearing styles, weight, geometry, designs, materials and heat-treating. This is a really cool look back for the older riders, and probably a pretty crazy thing to see if you are new to BMX and don’t know how we got to where we are these days with the quality of BMX bikes in a fairly short period of time

“Today it’s still a bit wet from the rain, so I decided to pull out some of my old frames I road over the years and take a look at what’s changed, and weigh them to see how far we have come with specs and materials! I hope you like this trip down memory lane. Let me know what you use to ride and what you ride now.” – Mike Fede
