Sneak Peek: Animal Bikes X Terrible One Tires

March 23, 2016

Here’s some news we’ve been waiting to let people in on for a while now. Some of you might recall a few months back we got a look at a new tire Animal Bikes is working on that we didn’t have much information on at the time. Well, it turns out that Animal Bikes and Terrible One are actually collaborating on two tires, the Ursa Major and the Ursa Minor that will be hitting BMX shops and mail-orders worldwide very soon. Below you can get the full scoop from Joe Rich. Keep an eye out for an interview we’re working on with Joe that should be dropping soon as well!

“A few couple of years back, the idea of working with Animal to design a tire took seed. The main driving force behind this was wanting to run Animal tires as a way of supporting them, but there wasn’t one that existed that was designed around riding tranny and roasting concrete. So I talked to Bob Scerbo about it at the time and he relayed my thoughts to Ralph. Lucky for me, Ralph liked my reasoning behind this, and wanted to see it happen. So I brought my ideas to Frank Lam, who was their product designer at the time. Funny enough, Frank and I used to ride together at these contests that were put on by T&C Cycles in South Plainfield, NJ back in the early 90’s. So it was extra good to be in touch with someone again from so long ago. Frank and I went back and forth with the ideas and how they could create the best result for what I was looking for. In the end, working together with Frank gave light to something that ended up being more than I could have hoped for. So stoked. These would never have been possible without Bob, Frank, or Ralph at Animal. Thank you all so much. More info to come soon on these!” – Joe Rich

Same Old Ozz

March 17, 2016

Here’s one from Animal Bikes‘ connect in Russia through Big Toys, Anton “OZZ” Schutskiy, getting down at a spot that resembles The Bakery almost exactly… We honestly had to scroll back and make sure it wasn’t the same place, haha. Either way, Ozz brings his buttery smooth style with plenty of grinds and balance to this DIY spot and ended up with some excellent clips and a dialed BMX video. Hit play and check it out!

February 8, 2016

Animal Bikes have uploaded their “The Animal House” video on to their Vimeo channel for your viewing pleasure. This BMX video is just under 18 minutes of pure goodness from most of their crew as they spent an entire month cruising New York City with filmer Ryan Navazio stacking clips. Needless to say, with a crew like this, plenty of heat went down. This is a MUST SEE for sure.

“Shot primarily in New York City during the month of October, 2015. Featuring full parts from Mark Gralla aka Ratkid, Abdul Fofanah and Colin Varanyak. With appearances from most of our team riders including Tyrone Williams, Garrett Hoogerhyde, Tom White, Matt Miller, Dan Lacey, Brendan Reith and many more.”

Animal Bikes – Chris Silva Nub Nuts Promo

February 1, 2016

Here’s a promo BMX video featuring Chris Silva putting his signature Nub Nuts from Animal Bikes to proper use! Chris has been running these for a little while now, but it looks like they’re finally available through BMX shops and mail-orders worldwide. These little nub nuts replace your axle nut or bolt for female hubs with a longer, round nut or bolt that gives you a little something to grind on. This is a great option for those of you who want a little extra challenge when it comes to grinding or just don’t want to run pegs, but still want to grind. Check it out!

“I don’t believe I’m over-stretching when I say that no one else in BMX that has pegless grinds on lock like Chris Silva. Most the credit surely goes to Chris and his borderline obsessive attention to detail, but his signature “Nub Nuts” from Animal surely get some credit, as well. No need for a 17mm, either. Just use a ratchet and you’re good to fire out pegless backwards rails, hangers, and pegs to hard 180’s.

“Chris Silva’s signature “Nub Nuts” are made from Heat Treated Chromoly. They are available in 14mm female and 10mm male (10x1mm TPI)”” – Ride BMX

Benny L V2 setup decked out with Fit and Animal Bikes parts and to find out what he has cooking with his sponsors and plans for the year now that 2016 is under way! Ready?

December 26, 2015

Here’s one for you guys. Ryan Navazio decided to upload the BMX video from a trip to Japan that Mark Gralla, Jeff Kocsis, Ben Lewis, Tyrone Williams, Nigel Sylvester, Tom White and Nick Benson took back in 2013. This was part of the QSS 6 video that was released based around the trip. This one has been online before, but Ryan re-uploaded it to his personal Youtube channel, which was a good enough reason for us to repost it, since it’s a real good watch. Take it all in!
