Going Fast – A Day with Larry Edgar

July 8, 2020

Curious what a day for Larry Edgar is like? Here’s a video where the Our BMX dudes followed him for a day as he cruised his yard, rode the local pump track, hit up Pat Casey‘s yard, played a little COD, drove some cars and more! Hit play and take it all in. It looks like it was a good day to us!

“Larry and I have been talking about meeting up and spending a day riding and doing hoodrat things and I decided to finally make it happen. No pressure, no real plan. I hit up Jeff Z to come shoot photos and we just went out and rode the stuff that he normally does. We were both hoping to do a bit more with his off road truck, but it wasn’t running at the moment. And, it was also surprisingly hot that day, so the heat soak happened quick.” – Our BMX

This is rad! Merritt just dropped this new Matt Samsky video for your viewing pleasure filled with footage from a road trip he took in his van to cruise spots from the east coast down in Texas and more.

“our dawg Matt Samsky AKA badmatty AKA brakesquad admin took a biking vacation where he rode every chain spot possible. smash like for white vans.” – Merritt

Weird & Revered “Vagabond Squad” – Derek Bolz & Outro Sections

July 8, 2020

The final sections from the Weird & Revered “Vagabond Squad” DVD have popped up online. This time around we get Derek Bolz‘s section that’s filled with wild gaps and drops. It’s safe to say Derek is NOT scared to send it off or over something. After that, we get some laughs, crashes and b-roll to close things out! Hit play and take it all in!

““Vagabond Squad” is a full-length video from Canada’s Weird & Revered crew. Filmed from 2016 to 2019, the project is community rooted with a strong focus on the Edmonton BMX scene. Although a majority of the clips are from the crew’s home city, the footage spans 9 countries, 8 American states, and 4 Canadian provinces and territories.

Closing out our release of sections from Vagabond Squad is Derek Bolz.” – DIG

“Derek is from a small farming community called Provost. About a year into filming the DVD, he moved to Edmonton for school and started riding more regularly with the crew. Derek is highly motivated and reliable which makes him one of my favorite people to film with. Despite a later start to the project, he put in a ton of work to get enough footage for a full section. As we captured and crossed off more and more crazy ideas from his filming list, it soon became apparent that he would have the last section in the video. The boy loves metal and loves a good huck which is the perfect recipe for closing out Weird & Revered’s first DVD, Vagabond Squad.” – Justin Schwanke

Morgan Wade Discusses His New Signature Hoffman Bikes Frame

July 8, 2020

Weight weenies can breathe easier knowing that it was just a scale that was off by 2 lbs! A few weeks back Hoffman Bikes announced the new Morgan Wade signature Wade Frame that was a limited run of U.S made frames. They looked awesome and sold out IMMEDIATELY despite the price being higher than most frames. One thing that stood out was the weight was listed at 7.6 lbs. which seemed off, but you know, Morgan is a beast on a bike so maybe they just overbuilt it to be bomb proof, right? Well, it turns out the scale used to weigh it was off by a couple pounds and they actually weigh in at 5.5 lbs., which is more like where we expected it to be. It turns out that if you missed out on the U.S version, there are some Taiwan made Wade frames coming that are in the 4.13 lbs.! So, really, it went from the heaviest frame to one of the lightest, haha. Either way, hit play and take in all the details!

“Remember a few weeks back when we ran a story about how Morgan Wade’s new signature Hoffman frame weighed 7.6lbs? Well, it turns out it actually weighs A LOT less. Watch this and hear about the confusion from Morgan himself!” – Vital BMX
