Andy Portrait_600x

Over the past two years or so, we have been becoming increasingly familiar with a new brand from Arizona called Freed Bikes. For those of you that don’t know, Freed is a brand that focuses on U.S made products like frames, bars and sprockets, which in an industry like BMX has been increasingly difficult to make happen. One of the questions we hear pretty frequently is “who owns Freed?”, so we figured it was due time to get to know the guy who is in charge of the reigns of this brand who, thanks to a little help from his family, currently runs the company while going to college full-time… Let’s find out a little bit more about just what Andy is all about!

Where would you go if you could take a trip anywhere in the world for a week of riding? There are a lot of places to go that would make for an amazing riding trip, that’s for sure. However, there is one place that I’m sure crosses everybody’s mind at one point or another and that’s Barcelona. The Freed Bikes team decided it was time to give their passports some love and make a trip outside of the U.S for their first big team trip with this newly formed brand. Andy Smith, River Waldren, Chris Chamberlain and Corey Foster along with filmer Bobby Kanode packed their bags and made the the flight from Arizona over to this BMX hot spot the other week where they found good spots, new friends and plenty of fun. Below we’ve got a bunch of photos they snapped during the trip to give you a look at just what they got into. Take a peek and expect a full edit to drop from the trip soon!
