Jacob Thiem On Radio Bikes

November 15, 2019

Here’s some sponsor news for you! a href=”https://bmxunion.com/tag/radio-bikes/”>Radio Bikes have made a wise decision and added Jacob Thiem to their US team! Jacob is still a little bit under the radar, but we hope that isn’t for long because he’s been an absolute machine on a bike for quite some time now. Not only is he a super dialed rider, but he’s also a good guy, too. Hopefully with this new opportunity we’ll be seeing more of Jacob bouncing around at contests and more. We’re sure he’ll be blowing more minds, that’s for sure. Until then, check out a few photos of his bike over on the Radio Bikes website.

““Radio Bikes is proud to announce that USA park machine Jacob Thiem is now part of the Radio family. Jacob’s super technical riding style and a standout performance at contests over the past year caught our attention, and following a stunning recommendation from Radio Bikes PRO Brian Fox and the rest of the team, adding Jacob to the team was a no brainer.” – Radio Bikes”

“Jacob isn’t your typical BMX rat. Clean cut, smart kid from the middle of NOWHERE that has a passion for shred. Dudes got tech tricks, and big bangers! I’m really looking forward to working with Jacob on a collaboration video. Stoked to welcome this dude to the family!” – Brian Fox

“Jacob just built up a sample of brian Fox’s signature FOX FRAME in the 2020 Trans Ice Blue color which will be dropping early 2020. Take a closer look at his brand new all RADIO setup bellow and be on the lookout for much more from this kid in 2020 and beyond…” – Radio Bikes

Josh Dove On Flybikes

November 15, 2019

Here’s some sponsor news for you on this Friday! Josh Dove has officially joined the Flybikes Pro team! IT was announced about a month back that Josh had parted ways with his longtime sponsor Colony, and during that time he found what appears to be a perfect match. Josh has been on absolute fire for the past couple years as an up and coming young gun, and this past summer really opened up a lot of eyes during the Vans BMX pro Cup series. Josh’s style of riding fits real good with the Flybikes team, so we’re stoked to see this and what comes from this in the future!

“Ever since we first saw Josh Dove’s riding, we were blown away with his talent and style. Over the the last year, we had the chance to hang out with him and become good friends, especially with Sergio, loving his riding and attitude off the bike as well. Josh has been doing his own thing over the last month and during this time, things evolved naturally and Josh is now officially apart of the Flybikes family. We can’t be more stoked about this! Good times ahead for sure!” – Flybikes

Oxygen Thief Puncture Repair Kit

November 14, 2019

It’s not every day that we see some sort of unique innovation or idea when it comes to flat tires. When it comes to a flat tire, you either patch or replace the tube and on your way you go. However, a lot of the time the question is “where is the air going to come from?”. Unless you’re near a gas station or carry a pump with you, you’re pretty much stuck even if you can patch it on the spot. The guys at Source BMX cooked up their new Oxygen Thief Puncture Repair Kit that is a patch kit, but it also includes a hose with two schrader style valves on each end so you can connect your tube to another tire that has air in it to get at least some air in your tire. Obviously when you take a full tire and transfer the air to the other, once each tube is at equal air pressure it will stop filling, so you’ll probably need to get to a pump or air compressor to get the rest unless you’re pulling off a buddy that runs 90 psi and you like your tires at 35 psi, haha. But, what’s cool is you can connect to anything with a schrader valve stem, so you could even hook up to a car tire if you really had to.

The Oxygen Thief Puncture Repair Kit is available for $6.99 through Source BMX. That seems like a real reasonable price considering you get a bunch of patches and tire levers with the hose.

“How annoying is getting a flat when you’re out destroying the streets or shredding the Source Park?… We know!

That’s why we developed The Oxygen Thief Puncture Repair Kit. Simply hook one end up to your flat tyre, and the other to your other tyre, car tyre or any other inflated tyre, and the air from the inflated tyre will pump your flat tyre back up and you’re ready to ride again!

Comes complete with tyre levers and puncture patches to get you back up and on the road in no time.” – Source BMX

You can pick the kit up for $6.99 right here.
