The latest BMX Videos, Products and News!
With the lockdown keeping the sessions pretty low key these days, it’s rad to see how people are still catching their sessions. Alex Hiam dropped by the Colony ramp for a chill session with some of the crew. Here’s a raw cut of footage giving us a look at what went down! Imagine if you had this ramp in your backyard to enjoy every day? That would make things much more bearable!

Need to see how to remove a stuck bolt on a BMX hub?
If you have ever ran a female axle on your bike, there’s a chance at some point you might have run into an issue where your bolt on one side gets stuck and you can’t get it out, with the other side loose and the axle spinning. The guys at Lux BMX put together this video with a great trick for getting the bolt off without stripping the hub down to clamp down on the axle (likely causing damage in the process). In this video Evan Jaques shows you how to remove a stuck bolt on a BMX hub by simply connecting the loose side to one side of the dropout, and then loosening the stuck bolt. By doing this, you prevent the axle from spinning, which is a factor in why it’s tricky to break the bolt free.
This can also be applied to a rear hub as well, just connect one side of the hub to the dropout on your frame instead of the fork.
Quick, easy and doesn’t damage the hub!

Shout out to Lux BMX with this great tip. We can imagine this will save a lot of headaches and hassle for riders out there. It could also save an axle or two from being destroyed in the process, haha.
Want to learn how to tighten a BMX chain?
When it comes to working on a BMX bike, it’s a pretty easy and straightforward process, but there are some tricks and techniques that make things easier and faster so you can spend less time fixing and more time riding. Lux BMX put together this quick video showing you how to tighten a BMX chain properly. In this video, Evan Jaques shows you a trick that not only gets your chain tight, be helps to center your wheel in the stays making things real dialed. It’s always a huge pain when you go to tighten your wheel, then the chain ends up with a bunch of slack, so doing it the right way will help prevent that from happening.
This trick applies to BMX bikes without chain tensioners. If you have chain tensioners, they take a lot of the work out of holding the wheel in place while you tighten because your axle is being held tightly in place with those screws. Either way, this quick video has some really solid advice, especially for those of you new to working on a BMX bike!

The Steweet Crew up in Canada coming through with a fresh mix featuring the guys going to work on street spots galore last summer. This mix features a bunch of guys we’re not all too familiar with, but it’s clear they all shred and have a real good time doing it! Hit play to check out 16 minutes of pure BMX goodness.
“Anthropométrie is the 3rd long project we have completed over the years. Filming street is always our goal, it pushes our creativity, creates insane memories and overall it’s just pure joy and fun man! That’s pretty much all there is to it. We had no real problems with securities, only a couple times where some dude would kick us out or call the cops. Anyway the cops in our town are pretty chill. They know we are not stupid so they let us do our thing!
The video was filmed over the summer of 2019 and with the Pandemic we had a lot of time to edit it the way we wanted.
Hope this gets you pumped for this summer! Have fun out there boys!” -The Stweet Crew

The InfamousLDN squad coming through with a rad video giving us a look at what they got into during multiple trips to Asia between 2018 and 2020 stacking clips on spots all over the place. This is a mix featuring the crew, along with some of the locals they hit spots up with along the way. Check out the story below to get the full scoop. It’s pretty wild how much plans can change as soon as things started getting weird over there. Safe to say they were still able to get a ton of great footage during the times they were there. This is a great watch from start to finish, so get on that play button!
“We started filming this video on our first trip to Asia at the end of 2018. Beginning in Japan, we went on to Taiwan and Vietnam, then somehow ended up in New Zealand (another story) for a couple months, with just over a week in Melbourne on the way home. Good friends were made on this trip, and plans to return were made.
9 months later in early 2020 we found ourselves back in Taiwan. After around a week of eating extreme amounts of the local cuisine and indulging in the seemingly endless supply of spots, Corona Virus had made its way onto the world stage. Apart from a cancelled trip to Hong Kong due to the ‘Rona, the trip carried on as planned despite the virus. We moved around Taiwan for just over 3 weeks before flying to Hanoi. Spent 10 days around the north of Vietnam riding dirt bikes and doing stupid shit, and six days of extreme heat and humidity down south in Ho Chi Minh city riding the handful of spots on offer. With the whole corona virus thing starting to take hold and funds dwindling, we decided to make Japan our last destination before heading back home. We stayed near Tokyo for a couple weeks, enjoying our final days of the trip before a hellish 28 hour journey home, and have been in lockdown ever since!
A huge thank you to Allen Liu, Daichi Kawamoto, Robin Sloot, Hikaru Funyu and everybody else we met along the way. Can’t wait to come again!” – InfamousLDN
It’s a new month, and that means that it’s time for Brian Tunney to give us a look at what he’s been getting into during his solo flatland sessions! As always, Brian delivers with some great riding, and a song selection that we’re sure you’ll be into, too. Take a look!
“This has been edited down because I did a lot of goofy, slow riding the past month, more for my own edification than anything. Honestly, when the whole world seems to be breaking down, BMX riding falls way down on the list of priorities, so I just stuck to some basics and did things that felt good in April. I’m surprised I got anything done. I’m also surprised that this Self Defense Family song seems to work well with slow flatland riding.
