Fast And Loose – Opening Act

March 8, 2020

The Fast And Loose crew have been putting in heavy work on their first full-length BMX video “Pull Back Or Die” that’s dropping next month at the Florideah Swampfest! After a few years of filming, the video featuring Jason Watts, Corey Walsh, Kris Fox, Matt Cordova and Cody Pollard is bound to be an absolute BANGER. Above is the trailer and it gives you a taste of what’s to come from heavy cement park and trails sessions. BMX has been in need of a BMX video fueled by speed, style and big blasted airs with so much emphasis on the jibby street side of things for so long. This is bound to get the blood boiling and you ready to go out and send it. Hit play and get ready!

“Full Video premiering at Swampfest April, 3rd 8:00 PM.
Available worldwide end of April, fuckers!” – Fast And Loose

MORBPUSHERS – Make Do

March 7, 2020

This time of year always gets us stoked when we start seeing people finally being able to get out and enjoy some nice weather after a cold, wet winter. The Morbpusher crew took advantage of some nicer weather to cruise a prefab park. Despite it being a pretty rough setup, they made the most of it and seemed to enjoy their session!

“Sun is out and back to the grottiest skatepark we have to hand. Fuck knows what the council were thinking here like but we love it.” – Morbpushers

First BMX Street Contest Ever – 2 Hip Meet The Street (1988)

March 7, 2020

It’s pretty wild how much changes and how much stays the same in the course of 30 years. Snakebite uploaded this BMX video from the first BMX street contest ever, the 2 Hip Meet The Street contest that went down way back in 1988! The bikes were a little different, the there were a lot of tricks being done we still see today and it looks like the overall vibe was awesome. Take a look into the past.

Random thought watching this… Imagine if Garrett Reynolds went back in time and hit up this contest, haha. People would probably have brain aneurysms trying to process what he does.

“The first ever BMX street contest was held in Santee Ca. and was put on by 2-Hip. Featured riders are Dave Voelker, Chris Moeller, Craig Grasso, Todd Anferson, Pete Augustin, RL Osborn, Eddie Roman, Craig Campbell, George Smoot, Ron Wilkerson, Vic Murphy, Rich Bartlett, Dave Vanderspeck, Scott Towne, & more.” – Snakebite

Kink have released their new Brace Cranks! These BMX cranks are a traditional style 3-piece crank with oval tapered tubing on the arms, sprocket bosses on both right and left arms, large radius spindle bosses and fully wrapped spindle and pedal bosses for strong, clean looking and ankle friendly arms. Inside you can find a hollow 48-spline, 22mm spindle and bolts that have a 3/8″ ratchet and 6mm broaches to make tightening these cranks down easy. The Brace cranks also have a TruTherm Post Weld heat-treatment that ensures these cranks will be strong and be able to withstand the abuse you’re going to throw at them while cruising street spots, skateparks or trails.
