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!

Animal Bikes – The Animal House: BMX In New York City
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
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

It has been a little while since we’ve caught up with Ben Lewis, so when we saw he dialed in his bike before making a trip over to the U.S. to film for the Etnies “Chapters” DVD, we figured it would be the perfect time to take a closer look at his Fit Bike Co. 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? Let’s take a closer look at this unit!

Repost: Animal Bikes in Japan
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!
