It’s been a while since we’ve seen a straight up riding edit from Adam LZ, but here’s a new one from his trip up to the Northeast where he cruised a bunch of skateparks and street spots. This is packed full of some excellent riding from start to finish and would highlight suggest you check this one out.
“My favorite riding clips from an awesome trip hanging out with my friends and having a blast. Haven’t made an edit in a while, hope you guys dig it.”

I think it’s safe to say everyone knows the quality of a bike you can get at Wal-Mart is… Garbage. At the same time, you know you have wondered just how fast you could break one of the bikes riding like you normally would on your bike. Adam LZ and Spencer Foresman decided to pick up a few bikes and play a game of B-I-K-E at Candyland Skatepark on the bikes. Watch as these guys go head to head and see who pulled off the win (if their bikes hold out long enough). Spoiler alert: One of the bikes didn’t even make it out of the parking lot. (Shocker)
Stranger dropped this round of Tuesdays At Tip online today for your viewing pleasure. Although it was filmed a little while back, this footage is loaded with heat from the crew getting down on the ramps at Tip Plus. Hit play and see what went down!
“While on the Sneakatour a few months back the guys filmed a #tuesdaysattip episode out back on our ramp setup. Riders include Caleb Quanbeck, Lewis Morgan, Adam LZ, Michael Harkous, Abdullah Alkhalili.
Filmed and edited by Miles Rogoish”
Update: The frame is available now. Check it out here — Stranger BMX – LZ Frame
Here’s a sneak peek for you Adam LZ fans out there. It looks like he’s running a prototype sample of his new signature frame from Stranger! Not much for information on the frame, but just looking at it, it appears to be using a hydro formed top and down tube similar to the Wethepeople Envy frame, possibly a steeper 76-degree head tube angle (guessing by looking at the photo), a lower seat tube height (Possibly upper 7″ length?) and investment cast drop outs. The frame also features a metallic dark green color that looks good, too. Expect full details closer to the release. (Full details on the frame here: Stranger BMX – LZ Frame)

It’s funny how much a little rain can change up how well a rider can actually ride. Adam LZ and Jimmy Oakes recently had a little game of bike that had a little rain mixed in to really make it a challenge. Check out the video they put together from the game and see who took the win!
“Riding wet metal skateparks is never a good ideas, but Jimmy and I decided would view it as a challenge and play a quick game of BIKE.

We actually filmed this video like two months ago, I just had it on my computer and kept deciding to edit other videos before it. This was a pretty chill day, we were both tired (and it was raining) so the level of riding isn’t as high as usual. Regardless, we had a pretty good time and I thought the video was still enjoyable enough to warrant an upload!
Personal update: I’m now back in Florida (with bert), and almost settled into my new place. Moving all my stuff in has been taking forever, but I have my CPU stuff all set up so I can start making videos again. School is back in session as well, but it doesn’t look like it’s going to affect the videos that much.
Thanks for watching!”
When Adam LZ throws a jam, you know it’s going to be a good time! Check out over 22 minutes of footage from the entire day of the Pepper Jam he threw the other weekend at the Newtown skatepark! They had a HUGE turn out, a lot of peppers, stickers and prizes galore and a ton of awesome riding. Check out the highlights above! After you do that, check out a few photos our friend and photographer Zach Honahan shot during the day as well below!
“A BMX jam, revolved around peppers? We turned a complete joke into a realit and no one anticipated how big this thing would be…
Killer riding, mini-contests, shenanigans, good vibes, and more!
So this whole thing literally started when I went on one of my twitter rants, beating the pepper joke to death. “I’m going to have a pepper jam with free dr. pepper, peppers, and pizza with peppers”. The more I thought about it, the more stoked I got on the idea of having a pepper themed Jam. I hit up parks & rec and they were stoked on the idea, and gave me permission to use Newotwn Skatepark so long as nothing was sold. All the food and drinks I paid for with money that LZBMX has made, so thank you guys for the support and enabling me to do something like this! Also huge thanks to Profile, Shadow, Subrosa, and Deco for sending me out free stuff to give out!
The turn-out was about twice what I expected with people driving over 10 hours to ride what I consider a pretty mediocre park. With people coming that far I really felt the pressure to make the jam awesome, and I really think we accomplished that. I spent most of the day running around, screaming into the mic, and making sure things went smoothly so I wasn’t really able to ride too much or get clips for this video. I also sprained my ankle pretty badly on one of those 180 whips, but it’s better now.
This video was miserable to edit. We literally had four different cameras filming simultaneously sometimes and there were 700+ clips I had to sort though. So if you enjoyed it, please let me know! HUGE thanks to all my friends who grabbed a camera and helped film so we could document this event. Including Zach Honahan, Cody Krueger, Jimmy Oakes, Aidan Panagrosso, Brandon Draper, Nicole Bae, and RJ Zeindenslugawitzakowski.
Also huge thanks to all you guys that came out. I couldn’t be more stoked on all these meetups we’ve been doing. Everyone that comes out always has such positive attitudes and I genuinely enjoy meeting you guys. Now I’m off to the UK to spend some time with Boqer, so hopefully I’ll see some of y’all there!”
Adam LZ and his girlfriend, Nicole, made a trip up to Canada recently to hang out with some fans, ride Joyride 150, visit shops and do some touristy stuff. He pulled out the camera to document the entire trip for the latest webisode. Hit play and take in everything!
“How could a little road-trip turn into such an awesome experience? World famous JoyRide 150, roaming around downtown Toronto, and meeting HUNDREDS of fans definitely had something to do with it!
I don’t even know where to begin with this description… But I should probably start with a backstory. You guys have been asking me to come out to Canada (specifically JoyRide 150) for YEARS now. It was on my list of “must-dos” this summer, but I was having a hard time finding someone to go with. None of my friends had passports, and none of them wanted to go out of their way to get one. I wound up waiting until Nicole came down and taking the 8 hour road trip up there with her. I was kind-of worried that a BMX trip would be boring for her, but it was literally the best time (IMO) that we’ve ever had together.
We stopped at JoyRide 150, a bike-only skatepark in Toronto filled with everything from box jumps to cross country MTB tracks. There were literally 150+ kids that showed up (we checked with the front desk) to hang out and ride with us. I can’t get over how crazy it was to ride with that many people and hang out with all our fans that know so much about us and our videos. Literally every single person was insanely nice, especially JoyRide staff, and Matt O’Brien who helped film all day!
The “chill” day riding around downtown Toronto was definitely my favorite. Just exploring a new place on bikes and seeing city-culture is one of the most fun things ever. I didn’t have my helmet on because I wasn’t really planning on riding (I hurt my foot at joyride), but when we bumped into some riders I couldn’t help but get some tricks in (you guys know how it is). Huge shoutout to the awesome Goonsquad for helping me film! I’m really bummed my GoPro started acting up with the audio, but hopefully you guys don’t mind.
On our way back home we stopped at A1 Cycle in Brantford, ON for a quick meetup/ride with some more fans. Definitely was surprised to see so many people come out in such a little town! The Canadian BMX scene is amazingly strong and on top of the amount of riders, their positive attitudes are really what will move our sport forward. We hung out and made our way over to their local park followed up by some free pizza at the shop! Huge shoutout to A1 Cycle, Zak Longhurst for filming, and his mom for the Starbucks!
Side note: A1 Cycle (Brantford, ON) and Harvester Bikes (Markham, ON) both stock LZBMX clothing if you don’t feel like placing an online order!
To sum up what might be one of the longest YouTube descriptions ever I’d like to say thank you. Thank you to every single one of you guys that came out to meet up with us, took pictures, had us sign stuff, or even gave us something. It’s insane to be treated this way when all we really do is go out and film ourselves having fun on bikes. Thank you to all of you who wanted to come, couldn’t come, or even those of you who are watching this video. I just can’t thank everyone enough, all the shops, parks, and people that helped film, but ESPECIALLY Nicole. It takes one very special girl to take an international BMX road trip and enjoy it yet. She loves you guys as much as I do, and it’s not surprising that she signed just as many (if not more) autographs than I did at parks.
As a closing note, just remember BMX isn’t all about being the best. Look at me, look at Bert, even look at Nicole. We aren’t by any means the best riders in BMX. We just have fun and try to present that in the format of entertaining videos. There is absolutely NO REASON every single one of you guys can’t be doing the same thing. Just remember to keep it fun and the views will come.”
