Lux BMX starting your week off right with a fresh edit loaded with gems for you to enjoy. This one has a real laidback vibe, but there’s definitely heat packed into this BMX video. Check it out!

“Brock Olive, Denby Chandler and Jake Norris take to the streets around Brisbane pre lockdown. These clips have been filmed in between filming for their own projects that will be out later this year.

Filmed and edited By Tim Storey” – Lux BMX

We’re pretty sure we spotted a few clips from this in the new Corona Tape video as well. If you want more Australian BMX goodness, check that link out.

Jakub Spurny – Quarantine Ramp 2020

June 8, 2020

This is awesome! Jakub Spurny hit us with a link to a fresh BMX video he whipped up from a very productive solo session he got in on a DIY quarter setup. This is a bunch of lip tricks with combos filled with fufanus, abubacas, icepick stalls, disasters, spins and more. This is awesome since we don’t get nearly enough of this. Hit play and take it all in!

Powers BMX – Jojo Hepler Birthday Jam

The COVID couldn’t stop the birthday shenanigans for Jojo Hepler! Here’s a video Powers BMX uploaded from a jam that went down at Stone Stillings backyard BMX paradise. Hit play for a ton of riding and some laughs. Looks like it was a good time, hopefully nobody got the Rona (or Malaria?) in the process.

DK Bicycles Discontinues General Lee Bike After 20 Years

June 6, 2020

View this post on Instagram
A wake-up call is sounding in America. We’ve heard it loud and clear. BMX is a small space. There’s no room for racism. There is no perfect right thing to say. But there’s clearly a right thing to do. Effective today DK is discontinuing all General Lee model bikes. We won’t stop listening and learning. Thanks for sounding the alarm.
A post shared by DK Bicycles (@dkbicycles) on Jun 5, 2020 at 12:18pm PDT

Here’s some news we’re honestly surprised we’re posting about now, and not years ago. DK Bicycles have finally made the decision to discontinue their long running General Lee bike after somewhere around 20 years in production in some form. They made the announcement on Instagram to let people know about the decision, citing recent events in BMX and the world that have made it clear there isn’t room for racism in any form, directly or indirectly.

Now, based on the comments on DK’s post, it’s pretty clear this has hurt some people’s feelings because they don’t think it’s racist and just shows love for southern pride. Sure for some that might be the case, but for MOST it has direct ties to white supremacy and a negative history that isn’t something that is tolerated anymore. Yes, the confederate flag was taken off the bike years ago, but the name of the bike, and the car from Dukes of Hazzard, have pretty much burned the image of that flag into everyone’s mind, and for most that image isn’t a good reminder of the past.

So, we’re stoked to see DK make this move. As somebody commented, it’s just a name and color and hasn’t hurt anyone. If that’s the case, then what’s the big deal with it going away? If it’s just a bike with a name and color it shouldn’t be a big deal. There’s literally hundreds of other bikes with names and colors, so it shouldn’t be that hard to move on.
