BMX The Game – Major Update 0.7.2

October 20, 2020

Here’s some news for the riders out there who have been playing, or are thinking about picking up a copy of BMX The Game. They just pushed through a major update with a bunch of new tricks, features and more to continue to improve the game. This game has been years in the making, but seems like it’s starting to get back on track the past month or two after disappearing for a while. Take a peek.

“Hi Riders,

The Major Update is now available! Almost two months have passed since the launch on Steam Early Access. During this time we have worked hard collecting your feedback and producing accordingly.

We see that this is working very well and helps us to optimize resources and have a clearer production line. We hope that this new update will help improve the gaming experience and show that we are working hard every day.

Thanks to all of you who are supporting us by providing feedback and giving good recommendations on Steam! That gives us the strength to continue and get ahead!

Thank you all, we continue!” – BMX The Game

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

Tariq Haouche – New Knee, Who Dis?

October 20, 2020

Tariq Haouche joined the very popular knee club and had ACL surgery that took him off his bike for a while. Well, the knee is all healed up and he’s back on his bike! Here’s a fresh one for Fit Bike Co. and 4Down Distribution filled with grinds galore, wallrides, big 360s and more. It’s safe to say Tariq is back to full strength! Take a look.

“Stockport UK’s Tariq Haouche has been on the scene for quite some time now. After making an appearance in the 4Down x Fit “Fuk-it” UK shop stop trip and popping up at various jams up and down the country, Tariq fell victim to the cursed ‘broken ACL’ and had to take time out for surgery and recovery. Moving on a year it looks like no time was lost getting back into the swing of things with a newly crafted ACL and a welcome back edit!

We’re not exactly sure what Call Somebody is all about, but we are stoked to see this full-length video they’re working on! Here’s a promo for the video, which also coincidentally is a full-length video filled with the footage that didn’t make it into the full video. Hit play to check out 38 minutes of real solid riding from a TON of different riders, many you may have heard of before, but quite a few new names you might not know.
