Tony Malouf OFF Fit Bike Co.

April 17, 2019

Here’s a bit of news we didn’t see coming! According to Vital BMX, Tony Malouf is no longer riding for Fit Bike Co. after transfering from TM and filmer to the Pro team after just a few months. We haven’t found anything from Tony or Fit about the news, but Tony doesn’t mention them on his Instagram and he’s no longer listed on the Fit Team Page, so it seems like that’s the case. Obviously at this point we have no idea what happened or why, but we’re sure we’ll hear what’s next for Tony sooner than later.

Here’s his welcome video that dropped on January 29th… So about 3 months on the team.

Colin Mackay – The Head Angle Podcast

April 17, 2019

The latest episode of The Head Angle Podcast has arrived and this time around Matt Holmes and Tom Boorman have Colin Mackay on the show to tell his story from how he got into riding, making the move to the U.S, riding in big contests, transitioning from a Pro rider to working for brands like Haro and now his current job, Vans, and much, much more! Colin has a long, amazing history in BMX and this is a super good listen! Hit play and take it all in!

“If there’s one rider that showcases just how far you can go on hard work and determination it’s gotta be Colin Mackay.

From humble beginnings not unlike any Australian rider, his drive and determination to take his riding to the world saw him forge a path that nearly every Australian rider since has followed.

His time spent on US soil now spans twenty years, yet his Australian pride runs deeper than ever. From the podiums, his sponsor changes, his place in a video game and current role as Team Manager for the biggest team in BMX under Vans, we delve into Colin’s rich BMX life. A life that still revolves around the simple thing that started it all.” – The Head Angle Podcast

To Grease or Not To Grease? A Guide To Grease On A BMX Bike

April 16, 2019

If you’re new to working on a BMX bike, there’s a chance you probably didn’t think about all the different parts of the bike you should or should no grease. There’s a number of bolts and metal on metal contact points that do need grease, but there are also a handful of places like your bars and your stem that you do NOT want to grease. Here’s a video Brant Moore going in-depth taking a look at all of the different places you should use grease while pointing out places you shouldn’t. This is real helpful if you haven’t worked on a BMX bike much or just not sure where you should be lubing up. Take a peek!

“To grease or not to grease, that is the question! Working on BMX bikes can be intimidating and knowing the proper places to put grease as well as the places where grease isn’t needed can take years to learn. So let me make it easier for you with this video!

With the help of my friend Kevin Czuba (@misckevin) we came up with this list of everywhere you should or shouldn’t grease on your BMX bike!” – Brant Moore

Game of HORST: Felix Prangenberg vs. Tom Weikert

April 16, 2019

The crew at Freedom BMX caught up with Felix Prangenberg and Tom Weikert to have them go head to head in a game of HORST (like horse, but German). This video is all in German, but fortunately the riding is easy to understand. Hit play to see what the guys threw down and who won!

“This episode of Game of HORST holds a special treat, because no one less than the street driver and the newcomer of the year 2018, Felix Prangenberg and Tom Weikert, competed against each other in Hall 59 in Cologne-Kalk. Felix was known to have been instrumental in getting Tom to wethepeople, so the question arose in advance as to whether Tom would be a little bit calmer in gratitude. Although you do not have to handle a NORA cup and simple session winner with kid gloves – and especially not when it turns out to be a little know-it-all … Curb, Ledge, those are bourgeois categories!

Many thanks to Deejay Goldfinger for the beats and the freshly baked Cult and éclat rider Aaron Paffenholz for the moderation.
