Support The 2020 Nowear BMX Contests!

March 5, 2020

As some of you know, the Nowear BMX crew out in Nebraska have been putting in a ton of work to build out a completely free for all indoor skatepark to ride. They’ve been doing some fundraisers over the course of the past few years and they’re getting super close to having the place all dialed in. They’ve been doing contests every summer and this year they have two in the works that will also double as a fundraiser for the park. Get full details on what’s in the works below!

“We are doing great at The Nowear Compound and are excited for what’s all in store for this year.
Our free indoor bike park project is going amazing and expect to have the park portion of the indoor done before this July.
We will then proceed to raise funds to finish the pump track room and final details.

We are hosting 2 big events this year with proceeds going towards our Nonprofit.

First event is July 18th Nebraska’s Cornhusker State Games and Nowear hosts the BMX freestyle contest at The Compound. The CSG organization provides us with EMT staff, porta potties and medals for all those who place. We are looking for additional sponsors to donate prizes to this event. This will be our first contest in the new indoor park.
https://www.facebook.com/events/2372132696411871/
There are 7 different classes at the event and 3 place per class.

Second event is our 7th annual Cornhuckit Jam Sept 19th. We will be promoting this event more than ever to raise maximum funds for our indoor project. If we are successful in doing so we should be able to finish our entire indoor pump track and all by the end of 2020. We will have live music throughout the day, camping available, food and product vendors, mini bmx comps and all weekend open riding. We are asking for any and all help with product and prizes for this event.
We will host a minimum of 4-5 mini events and give plaques and prizes to as many riders as possibly who do well for their own levels
https://www.facebook.com/events/1036643886714076/

Nowear will show appreciation by hanging up any banners that are sent, paint logos of company sponsors on our outdoor ramps that will remain there throughout the year and of coarse do lots of shout outs and thank you’s on our social media platforms.

NOTE: BMX companies who help with either events are welcome to set up a booth and sell product at no charge.

Fliers are being made currently for the events. When the artists have finished we will begin to add sponsor logos so please send us yours in an email so we can add them.

Thank you everyone for your consideration in helping Nowear continue to grow and help both riders and the local youth.

Inside BMX sent through this mix edit they put together filled with clips from the streets of St. Petersburg filmed over the course of 2018 and 2019. This one has a lot of random footage and filler, but there’s a good mix of clips from street and park sessions all throughout. Take a peek!

ZDENDA PEŠEK 2019 BMX VIDEO

March 5, 2020

TBB Bike coming through with a fresh edit featuring Zdenda Pesek going to work on skateparks and street spots over the course of 2019! Zdena brings his big bag of tricks from flips and whips to big tables, cranked turndowns and stretched no handers to all sorts of transitions and spots. This is a real good watch, so get on that play button and check this BMX video out. That ditch spot at the 2:18 mark looks like a ton of fun to ride, too.

“Ahh man been waiting for this. Whether you’re fan of Zdenda Pesek’s riding for his all-round skills or just his riding style in general, today is your lucky day. Filmed over 2019 on many different occasions, this video demonstrates Zdenda’s technical yet high-speed riding in a new light. Edited by Tomas Carda.” – TBB Bike

Sneak Peek: Eclat Tubeless Tire / Rim

March 5, 2020

Here’s a little sneak peek we caught while scrolling through Instagram. Dave Patterson over at Eclat dropped a look at what Eclat is working on that has a few interesting things packed into it. First is the obvious, the tire says Tubeless which is interesting to see since we’ve seen tubeless tires / rims done on MTB and everything, but it has never really worked for BMX. There have been attempts in the past, but it never caught on. However, they may have found a way to make it work. The valve stem with the lock ring would hold the valve stem in place and keep everything sealed up, but we’re not sure what is going on in the inside.

Next is the rim, which we’re not sure if it’s modified to make tubeless tires work or if it’s all in the tire, but that could be interesting. Then there’s also the camouflage color that looks real interesting as well. Obviously that one would be for the brakeless guys out there, but we could see that one selling pretty well, actually.

We don’t know much for what’s going on exactly, but if Dave is leaking this one online, it’s safe to say that it has to be close to being released.

Or, this could be some early April Fools prank that came a month early… Talk about a curveball thought!

What do you think about this? Would you be interested in trying out tubeless tires or are you okay with sticking with the classic tube style? Do you have any ideas on what’s going on? Any questions? Let us know what’s on your mind in the comments down below!
