November 17, 2019

Wow… The title of this BMX video is extremely accurate. We’re not sure who Christian Arehart is, but we do know that he has an insane bag of tricks for a 16 year old kid throwing down on some sketchy looking ramp setups in the woods! We were quite honestly not expecting the level of tricks that we saw in this, It’s clear Christian isn’t scared to send it! If you want to see a crazy BMX video from a rider you have probably not heard of yet, hit play.

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
